"The need for a reduction in spending and the need for a tax bill are so great," said the Texas Democrat from Lubbock, "that I'm open to some kind of compromise to break this log jam." Senate and House conferees have been working on a final version of the Senate-passed bill to impose a 10 per cent income tax surcharge, as requested by President Johnson, tied to a $6 billion spending cut. The administration has talked ductions.

But after meeting with Secretary of Treasury Henry Fowler and Budget Director Charles Zwick, Mahon indicated a solution may be In sight. He said a final decision is urgent because "we are in a very serious fiscal situation." The Senate-House conferees met all day Wednesday and got nowhere. They scheduled an- not disclosed.

McMillion Texas Dry, Crisp By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS svas a dry, crisp April day across Texas, but a change appeared to be in the offing. The U. S. Weather Bureau said 9 cpol front was expected to push into the Panhandle later today and perhaps trigger thundershowers along and ahead of the front. Temperatures were in the 40s and 50s across over the state early today.

No rainfall was reported in the past 24 hours. Skies were clear except for higjh cloudiness in Lower Rio Grende Valley and in the Northern Panhandle, other session for Tuesday, expressing hope the House Appropriations Committee would find a solution. Another influential figure in the year-long dispute repeated his contention thai any tax hike much be accompanied by a spending hold-down. Chairman Wilbur Mills, D- of the House Ways and Means Committee, said he will Insist on a curback in authorized but uncommitted funds for future programs, as well as a lid on spending during the coming fiscal year. Chairman William McChesney Martin Jr.

of the Federal Reserve Board came in for sharp criticism from a congressman for his statement that the nation is in its worst financial crisis since 1931 and must cut the deficit in the domestic budget as well as the international balance of payments deficit. Rep. Chet Holifield, should justify his warnings of financial crisis or he would leave in question his fitness to hold the chairmanship. Martin said in a Friday speech that uncontrollable inflation or recession are the prospects if action isn't taken. Holifield said he agrees a tax hike is needed but "I cannot agree with Martin's tactics in pushing the panic button.

"Martin has shouted in a crowded theater," he said. "He had better be able to show us the fire in terms more convincing than in his ad lib, off. cuff comments."
