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.

GOP Drums Up

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

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.
