WASHINGTON UB—Secretary of
the Treasury Anderson today left
the door open for a possible tax
reduction if other measures fail to
get the U. S. economy to moving
upward.
“I do not believe the balance is
now on the side of reducing
taxes." Anderson said, but added
that he could conceive of situa-
tions in which there could be coo
sideration of a tax cut.
His opinion, Anderson said, is
that the nation now has the basic

in his formal recommenda.ion.
Anderson specifically called for
continuation of the present 52 per
cent maximum income tax on cor
porate profits and another year’s
operation of present excise tax
rates on liquor, cigarettes and au
tomobiles.
These rates, first imposed as
temporary wartime levies during
World War II, were revived dur
ing the Korean War and have been
continued since. Without congres-
siona action. they would be auto
matically reduced July 1.
Anderson made no mention of
individual income tax rates in a
prepared statement This seemed
a clear indication the administra-
Hoc had no thought of tax cuts in
this area.

I know you are, and as the people

said.
"But under the conditions as
they are foreseen at present, such
tax reductions do not seem pru-
dent.

and if business activity resumes

Dulles said Russia's Sputnik
. success last fall—the launch-
ing of the first two man-made
earth satellites—may go down in
history as Khrushchev’s boomer-
ang Nikita Khrushchev is leader
of the Soviet Communist party
and No. 1 in his nation's ruling
clique.
The Sputnik, Dulles said, “jolt-
ed the American people and pro-
duced a reaction which was
health, the kind of reaction that
has, in the past, served fredom
well."
Dulles used the word "formida-
ble" several times to describe So-
viet military, industrial and prop-
aganda strength. He pictured the
Russians as tough, hard, highly
legalistic negotiators and said
they have inexhaustible patience.
“It would take a long time to
reach decisions even if they in-
tended to do so," he said.
„ Dulles said there are weakness-
-• es within the Soviekystem and
that perhaps the greatest is that
Russia does not seem able to dis-
engage itself from the partition
of Germany and the suppression
ef the independence of the na-
tions of Eastern Europe.

Eisenhower told Congress that
agriculture. in recent years has
been experiencing a vertiable
revolution in productivity
"Farm I production per man-
hour has 'doubled since 1040," he
said. . "There has been more
change in agriculture within the
lifetime of men now living than
in the previous 2 000 years."
Eisenhower said the rapid
danges taking place in agricul-
ture' are largely the results of a
major breakthrough in agricul-
tural science and technology, con-
stitute a revolution that cannot
be reversed, and are continuing

need not be feared." be ald.

fart, we must find ways of utiliz-

now able to produce, we must

of State' Dulles said today “We
do want a summit meeting" with
Russia and other nations.
But it would be a fatal disaster,
he said, if such a session diverted
free nations from needed security
measures “without any compar-
able change in the "Sino-Soviet
i bloc"
And it also would be a disaster.
Dulles added, if Western world
leaders were forced to break off a
summit conference in an atmos-
phere of hostility because that
could "intensify the cold war and
make more likely that it would
turn into a hot war."
Because of these considerations,
