should take effect in 1864.
Mr.. Mills also said the rate
reductions should be nearly
balanced by revenue-raising re-
forms, and the President
should assure Congress that
the administration will exercise
better control" of Federal
spending.
The President at his news
conference maintained that the
interview indicated no wide gap
between the administration and
Mr.. Mills.
Discussing Mr.. Mills point
about the current lack of re-
cession signs, the President said
business prospects for the next'
three or four months are not the
issue. Rath ne said, the Ma

the economy's slow, long-term
growth, persistent unemploy-
ment and the challenge posed
by Western Europe's economic
advances.
While conservatives worry
about the danger that budget
deficits will cause initiation,
the President noted that many
experts believe the inflationary
threat has been supplanted by
the dangers Of deflation.

Officials said later that the
administrations tax program
is taking shape, but predicted
that the President will keep
himself flexible for COM

Marshal Tito's appearance
before the Soviet Parliament
was a dramatic turning point
in Soviet -Yugoslav relations.
The Yugoslav President de-
scribed those relations as hav-
ing q Tong and complicated

He hailed the recent estab-
lishment Of friendly relations
between Yugoslavia and the
Soviet Union and said that he
and Mr.. Khrushchev had made
progress during their meetings
here toward further strength

countries.

He avoided overt criticism of

principles, these sources said
the President will try to recast
the issues in a way that would
emphasize areas Of agreement
The Treasury, at least, was
not surprised by the vigor Of
Mr.. Mills objections to fast
tax cuts. Undersecretary Henry
H. Fowler talked over taxes
during a visit to Mr.. Mills In
Arkansas November IA.
Mr.. Mills position is closer
to the viewpoint Of Treasury
Secretary Dillon than to the
opinions of Walter w. Heller,
chairman of the Presidents
Council Of Economic Advisers,
and some other administration
policy-makers.
Mr.. Dillon agrees with Mr.,
Mills that great speed in cut
ting taxes is not the crucial
issue, and also agrees that the
purpose Of the tax program
should be encouragement OF
the economy's long-term growth
rather than short-run stimula-
ton.
Both Mr.. Mills and Mr.. Dillon
lay heavy emphasis on the re-
form side Of the tax package.
And they both recognize that
tax reforms probably cannot
take effect before 1854.
MFR. Mills In the interview
was not "dogmatic" and did not
try to LAY down the law" an
administration source said, pro-
Tossing to see plenty Of room
for compromise.
Several sticking points stand
out. First, the administration
wants the tax cuts to exceed
the revenue-raising reforms by
between IS billion and $40 bill
lion. Mr.. Mills favors an ap-
proximate balance, to avoid
substantial revenue losses.
Second, the administration
wants tax cuts to take effect
IN 1868, although there is moth
ing sacred about retroactivity

that reductions can or should
take effect before 1864.

Yugoslav industries, and his
close support Of Soviet foreign
policy stands.
Seeks Party Unity
He said the Soviet Union Is
trying to strengthen party un-
ity and If this policy Is sub
jected to hit-and-run attacks
by some people. this only
shows that these people are not
genuinely interested in
strengthening the ranks Of the
Communist movement"
While never mentioning the
Chinese by name, Mr.. Khru-
shchev accused them OF "sink-
ing deeper and deeper In the
quagmire of leftist oppor-
tunism, splitting tactics and
sectarianism."
"In the crisis over Cuba,
Yugoslav Communists took a
correct position, whereas dog
matists who pose as true
Marxists-Leninists took a pro-
vocative position" he said.
What the crisis in Cuba
has shown Is that the main
danger was represented by
those who stood and stand on
dogmatic positions"
Mr.. Khrushchev turned the
argument that he was soft on
imperialism" back at the Chi
nese.
Notes Peking federation
He noted that Peking toler-
ates the British colony of Hong
Kong and Portuguese Macao
on its territory.
With sarcasm, Mr.. Khru-
shchev said: There must be
weighty reasons for this. 1t
would, therefore, be ridiculous
to level against (China) the
accusation that this is a con-
cession to the British and the
Portuguese colonists, that this
is appeasement."
He compared the Albanians

taught to hurl obscenities by
adults who do not want to do
/ 1t themselves.

Chinese and Albanians.
A neutralist diplomat called
the speech "a historic turning
point" in Moscow-Peking RI
valry.
Mr.. Khrushchev declared
that dogmatism, a Communist
synonym for the extreme views
Of the Chinese. had become Just
as dangerous as revisionism, a
word applied to such independ-
ent Communist thinking such
as Yugoslavia's.
He swofe that, from now on,
Soviet Communists, to whom
there is nothing higher than
unity Of the ranks of the world
Communist movement, will
fight resolutely against both
right-wing and left-wing OPP
portunism. which today is no less
dangerous than revisionisrn."
Open AffrOnt
In an open affront to the
anti-Titoist Chinese and AL
banians, Mr.. Khrushchev de-
clared Soviet friendship for the
Yugoslav Communists.
This drew an approving nod
from Marshal Tito, seated be-
hind him on the stage, and loud
applause from the deputies Of
the Supreme Soviet.
Mr.. Khrushchev blamed Stall
In for the differences that led
to Yugoslavia's expulsion from
the Communist camp in 1948.
But our Yugoslav comrades
we're not wholly blameless," he
added.
There are still serious diver
gencies on q number Of ide-
illogical questions. he continued.
but recent moves in Yugoslav
domestic and foreign policy
have eliminated much of what
we regarded as erroneous and
as prejudicing the cause /of
building socialism (commu-
nism) in Yugoslavia."

nomic reforms, Tightening CEN
