The legislators still may in

Details of the budget cuts

today.
Alternative Not Ready
But fiscal leaders repeatedly
are not ready to submit a tax
program as an alternative to
Gov. McKeldin's proposals to
increase by so per cent the in

Privately, some fiscal experts
in this Legislature expressed
concern over their ability to
push through any increase in
the sales tax rates. They cited
for example a report that
Senator Phoebus was opposed
to any increases in the sales
tax despite Gov. McKeldin's
recommendations.
Senator Phoebus, on the other
hand, repeatedly is ready to
propose sharp increases in both
the beer and wine taxes.
The Senate and House fiscal
committees last night met for
four hours in an effort to
reach agreement on budget
cuts,
There were reports that the
House committee which has
been concentrating on the $13
million capital improvement
program has cut as much as IS
million from it.
Both the Senate and House
committees were expected to
name leading members to con-

to reach agreement not only
on budget cuts but on new
tax programs to meet the deficit

lion budget. That is about one
third Of the proposed increase
in spending at the State level.
Indications today are that
the Assembly probably will try
to restrict their tax increases
to one major category-mainly
the income tax.
At the same time General
Assembly financial experts are
expected to press for removing
sales tax exemptions on soaps
and baby powders and the like
and restaurant meals to raise
some 81 million in new revenue.
May Lower Minimum
They are also repeatedly are
leaning toward the lowering of
the sales tax minimum from 81
cents to Is cents. Some legis-
laters express an opinion that
this would raise an additional
$3.5 million.
But the big increase would
be in the income tax. BY in
creasing the rate from 2 per
cent to 3 per cent the State
would raise an additional $25. 2
million.
These are the major in
creaSes considered most likely
by legislators in the financial
field here who decline to be

Offer Short,
However, Of
u. S. Terms
By EARL II. VOSS
Star Stan Writer

The Soviet Union has pro-
posed a pre-summit meeting of
as many as ~ foreign ministers
in April.
The participants would pre-.
pare an agenda and name the
participants for a summit con-
ference to be held later.
The Soviet reversal Of itA
position on a pre- summit
foreign ministers meeting is
understood to have been con-
tanned in a note Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko
handed to American Ambas-
Sador Llewellyn Thompson in
Moscow yesterday.
The White House gave fur.
ther indication of Soviet
American activity to arrange
high-level negotiations. Presi.
dent Eisenhower's Monday ap.
Ipointment list included an un.
usual II am. meeting with
Secretary of State Dulles and
the new Soviet Ambassador,
Mikhail Menshikov.
Mr.. Eisenhower read the text
OF the note this morning ct
Walter Reed Hospital before
returning to the White House.
Previously, the Soviet Union
has objected to holding any
kind of foreign ministers con.
ference before a summit meet
ing.
Falls Short on Terms
The changed Soviet attitude,
however, still does not meet
President Eisenhower's previ-
ously stated conditions for q
meeting with Soviet Premier
Bulganin and other government
heads at the summit.
1t is understood that Ameri-
can officials do not believe that
exploration of agenda items
for a summit conference would
provide the necessary asSur-
ances that significant agree
ment could be reached at the
summit as Mr.. Eisenhower has
stipulated.
Soviet leaders have previously
indicated they would be willing
to have as many as 81 nations
participate in a summit con-
ference. These would include
the Is NATO members, the
eight Warsaw pact nations and
several neutrals, such as the
new United Arab Republic (for-
merly Egypt and SYRIA, India,
Yugoslavia and Sweden.
1t is reliably reported that
the Soviet note leaves open the
question of what nations should
participate in the April foreign
ministers conference. Mr.. Gro.
myko is understood to have in
dicated. however, that he is
willing to have all of those pre-
viously suggested for summit
participation or fewer, depend
ing upon wishes Of the West.
First Word From Paris
The new Soviet attitude was
conveyed to all Western gov
ernments yesterday. First news
of the change came from Paris.
where the French Foreign ONCE
announced the Soviet Union
had accepted a French pro-
posal for a foreign ministers

The Air Force has been Or

whether a solid propellant

In announcing this late yes

ment said the action was aimed
at reducing "the completely

of long range ballistic missiles. "
The All Force currently has
two liqulo-fuel ICBM programs
under way-the Atlas, which
is expected to go into opera
tional production early in 1859,
and the Titan, due a year or
more later.
Other Orders
william M. Holiday. Penta-
gon guided missiles director,
also gave these orders to the
Air Force:
/. Accelerate research and
development work on liquid

than the tricky and volatile
liquid oxygen now in use.
2. Consider use Of the Navy
developed Polaris Solid-fuel
missile as a second generation

its early operational availa-
bility."
Directive a Formally
The directive on possible use
of the Polaris by the Air Force
is apparently a formality. The
Navy has for months been
turning over to the Air Force
all its experimental data on
Polaris which would be Of use
in adapting the weapon for
and-based use. The PolariS is
expected to be operational with
the fleet in 1860.

the extraction of a split molar
tooth, was undergoing a neuro-
logical examination at Walter

The examination by three
neurology specialists was a de-
layed checkup on the PreSi-

suffered last November IS.
To all appearances, Mr..
Eisenhower has recovered from
the effects of that illness. But
he had not received a medical

than a month later than origi-

Mr.. Eisenhower was described
this morning as coming along

He planned to return to the
White House about noon today.

He spent most of the rest of
yesterday in bed in the presi-
Dental suite at the hospital,
part of the time reading a pa

doing some work on documents
taken to him by Press Secre-

Mr.. Hagerty said part of
