As expected, the request for higher taxes he fourth in 18 months met a chilly reception on Capitol Hill.

Some lawmakers said something niight be done to pick up new revenue by closing but Congress was clearly in no mood to enact another general tax hike. The President also called for tighter price controls, a check on private spending, greater productivity, and a return to pay-as-we-go government financing "as quickly as possible."

Military Budget for Year Held to 48 Billions New York Timet News Service WASHINGTON, Jan. 16 The military budget for the coming fiscal year has been held to a total of $48,000,000,000, about $11,500,000,000 less than this year, despite a strong bid by the Air Force to request more Junds of Congress for its new goal of 143 wings. This became known today as President Truman prepared to transmit his total Federal budget to the Congress on Monday at noon.

The $48,000,000,000 figure was said to represent a victory for a defense planning faction which has contended that the military can accomplish Mts build-up goals without "stockpiling" fund authorizations. Air Force Compromise However, the Air Force was reliably reported to have been allotted $20,000,000,000 of the total to be asked for the mili tary establishment and this fig ure was understood to represent a compromise between what its officials had urged and a much lower figure. Amidst secrecy said to have been dictated by the White House, leaders of the aircraft industry werei told today at a Pentagon meeting what the forthcoming budget might mean to their production plans. Authoritative sources said that the "target date" for realizing a fully equipped modern air force had been pushed back by as much as 18 months to late in 1955.
