TEN BLYTHEVILLE (ARK.) COURIER NEWS WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 28, 1953 President Faces Most Serious Year in 1954 By JAMES MAKI.OW WASHINGTON (AP) President Eisenhower has returned from vacation to face one the most serious years of his life. Budget, deficit, taxes, prosperity, defense, trade, Koi, dealing with the Russians. All are on His doorstep, waiting. of rea For 1953 was a period of getting ready for 1954, and later.

In his Boston speech the President said frankly the record of his administration has been too short to be "anything More than just, the record of his administration and parly is at stake next 1 WILSON NEWS By Sirs.

During the business session, pre. sided over by Mrs. G. B. Craven, committee chairmen made brief talks on their plans for the year.

The executive committee met like year. For one thins, the budget. wants to wipe out the federal defi cit. the gap between government income and spending. All over Washington these days officials are busy preparing the budget Eisen hower will hand Congress in Jan uary.

He cut government expenses in 1953. He says he wants to cut them more in 1954. The biggest expense, and therefore the juiciest target for cutting, is in national defense. But in 1953 the Russians claimed to have produced the hydrogen bomb. Eisenhower must decide whether national safety can stand any further cuts in defense.

A country which talks tough, as this one has been, while reducing money on armaments, will hardly impress the Russians or assure American Allies. In 1954. through taxes which will end automatically or be reduced automatically, the government faces loss of billions of dollars. Heavy cute in expenses will be necessary to overcome that loss unless, perhaps, the administration can find a new kind of tax, maybe a sales tax, to make up the lost revenue. Party May Split But 1954 is an election all 435 House seats and one third of the Senate and any administration request for a new tax might be enough to split the Republican party, some of whose members Were bitter in 1953 when Eisenhower asked extension of the excess profits tax.

A bad business recession in 1954 would knock the administration's plans for reduced savings out the window. Eisenhower would have to think of remedies fast, even though they meant spending a lot of government money to start the satisfaction of the people in the Allied countries, than at any time since World War II.

American Allies would feel it.

Russia would have a chance to make more capital, through dis- the confer- cnce bofiin. No one here talks optimistically about such a conference solving the Korean case. Khec a 1'rohlem A conference stalemate would mean this country must keep troops in Korea indefinitely, and on the alert against a new attack. At Hie sami 1 time Eisenhower will have his hands full that South Korean President Syngman Rhce tlopsn't upset the apple-cart by renewing the war himself. Renewed war there might spread much funVier than Korea.

Since Ihe Russians have made faster progress in hydrogen bomb development than was here, Eisenhower has a choice: Stand firm against the Communists until they show by deeds they want peace, or try to work out a disarmament agreement with them.

There is perfect harmony. The one is in charge each week is responsible for planning the meals.
