Eisenhower said yesterday “I would never agree to tax reduc tions when we are in . . . the pre carious state of balance we are now” between federal spending and revenue. The President told his news con ference that tax reduction “comes when you can prove that you have the money in sight”—that the na tional budget will show a surplus warranting a cut in tax revenues. “J certainly have not gone to the point yet where we can be talking about tax reduction,” he added. House Speaker Rayburn, who has been talking a good deal about possible tax cuts, said yesterday at the Capitol that such action probably will wait until next year. But a cut will come then, he fore casted. Eisenhower’s statements were made in reply to a question wheth er his tax reduction program will be affected by a new estimate from congressional specialists on federal income and outgo. House tax experts estimated that government spending will go high er than had been predicted this year and next and will cut a bil lion dollars off expected budget surpluses in both years. Eisenhower said Treasury ad visers had given him no similar estimates for the 1958 fiscal year which begins July 1. As for the current fiscal year, the President said: “There are certain depart ments that are running over seri ously and we are having a hard time keeping them down, no mat ter what we do. . . .” He added that “we are working our very best to keep this budget in the black and the next one in the black, and we certainly expect to do it.” The new estimates by the House experts have written a question mark on congressional hopes for a tax cut next year. Rayburn, who has been saying Democrats would push for tax re duction this session, told newsmen that such action still is “a pos sibility, but I doubt it’s a prob ability.” “I think next year we’ll have one,” Rayburn added, saying such a cut would be effective next Jan uary 1.

SAFE AS COFFEE GOP Drums Up Supper t For Foreign Aid WASHINGTON, (7P>--The Eisenhower a d m i n i s - tration appears to have drum med up some fresh support and enthusiasm for its $3,865,000,000 foreign aid program in the last 24 hours. Secretary of State Dulles car ried the fight for the program to the Senate Foreign Relations com mittee today and won the praise of several senators for his “per suasive” presentation. One of the committee members, Sen. Capehart, (R. Ind.), said that “for the first time in 10 years I .am going to vote for the support of this program because it is sound in principle.” The White House announced pub lic reaction to President Eisen hower’s speech in defense of his mutual security policies was run ning “better than 9-1” in favor of the administration. Eisenhower himself told his news conference that public opin ion, measured by the correspond ence received at the White House, has been gradually switching from opposition to support of his bud get and foreign aid program. Despite these apparent gains, however, the big foreign aid bill still faces a battle in Congress. Demands for substantial cuts in foreign aid and spending persist and are supported by many lead ing members of Congress. One of these was Sen. Byrd (D. Va.), chairman of the Senate Fi nance Committee. He called yes terday for “a complete blueprint” of future foreign aid spending. During the course of his argu ments before the foreign relations committee yesterday, Dulles said he still believes in the philosophy that if you don’t spend money to help your friends abroad you may eventually “have to spend blood.” The secretary said it would be “folly” to cut the mutual security program below $3,800,000,000. Leaves After 43 Years Service D. T. Killough, cotton breeder for the Texas Agri cultural Experiment Station, has resigned, effective May 31. He was first employed and as signed to the Nacogdoches substa tion in 1914 after his graduation from A&M. In 1916 he wds trans ferred to the Temple Station as acting superintendent and a few months after that he was named superintendent. He returned to College Station in September 1923, and worked part time as superintendent of the Main Station Farm and started to do graduate work. On Sept. 1, 1925, he was named agronomist in cotton breeding. His numerous contributions to cotton improvement work in Texas has played an important part in the overall progress of this industry. During recent years he has spent considerable time in foreign serv ice. In March 1950 he went to Turkey for a two-year assignment. He served as agricultural consul tant and advisor to the Ministry of Agriculture there with special emphasis given to a program aimed at improving cotton production. Af ter returning, he served as campus counselor to a group of Turkish trainees who spent six months in Texas, most of it here. In February 1955 he was grant ed a leave to go to Pakistan to serve as Agronomist Genei’al for the FOA. He has returned from this assignment, and has accepted another two-year assignment in Pakistan with the International Co operative Administration, U. S. Department of State, and will re turn to duty about July 1. me Battalion College Station (Brazos Countyj, Texas Thursday, May 23, 1957 PAGE 3 ITiway Dept Holds Program in Dallas A special training program for construction equipment operators, mechanics and supervisors is being held in the Electric Building, State Fair Park, Dallas. , The program, sponsored by tip Texas Highway-Heavy Branch of the Associated General Contractors of America, is being conducted by the Engineering Extension Service of the System as a part of its vocations education program.
