NATIONAL Tax Load, Economic Aides Suggest Washington, May 9 (AP) President Truman's economic advisers have suggested that some existing tax burdens be lightened and that the Administration scale down its request for four billion dollars in new levies, responsible officials said today. The council of economic advisers also was reported to feel that current business trends justify a check rein on federal spending in order to bring the budget closer to balance. THE COUNCIL delivered its April report to the White House last week. It suggested the lowering or removal of some excise taxes, it was learned. Such levies as the tax on transportation of goods, in the council's opinion, add to business costs and consumer prices and impede an orderly withdrawal from the postwar business boom.

The advisers suggested that consideration be given to accepting a "lesser goal" than the four billion dollar tax increase. Mr. Truman has suggested that this money be raised mostly from corporations and, perhaps, from middle and upper individual income brackets. The council did not recommend at this time the launching of an expanded public works program, an authoritative source disclosed. THE ADVISERS have consistently urged that federal and local governments prepare "shelves" of public work blueprints for use when needed to bolster employment and public purchasing power.

The three-member council-Dr. Leon Kyserling, and John D. Edwin G. Nourse, Chairman Vice. Clark- reported to be in substantial agreement on the April size-up of the economy.

On the tax question, the council reportedly suggested that study be given these policies: 1. Reducing those wartime excise taxes which basically affect business operations and which produce only a comparatively small amount of revenue. The three per cent levy on air, land and water freight, for instance, pyramids costs because it applies anew at each step from the mine or mill to the consumer. 2. DELAYING the date of the proposed increase in the social security payroll tax from July 1-as proposed by Administration leaders -to the presently scheduled date, next Jan.

1. The levy, shared by workers and employers, bites directly into pay checks and heightbusiness costs. 3. Accepting a "lesser goal" than the four billion dollar tax increase which Mr. Truman asked in January.

Some officials hold that such a tax boost now. might eat up private capital needed for industrial expansion, or cause business to retrench so severely that the "healthy disinflation" might skid into a serious recession. Mr. Truman's budget report in January predicted a deficit of 600 million dollars for fiscal 1949, ending next June 30. It foresaw a deficit of 873 million dollars in fiscal 1950.

Senator Irked, Walks Out Of Pact Hearing Washington, May 9 (AP) A Republican critic of the North Atlantic treaty stalked out of Senate hearings on the proposed 12- nation pact today with an angry protest that Chairman Tom Connally (D-Texas) was inflicting "gag rule." Connally heads the Senate. foreign relations committee which has been conducting the hearings. Sen.

Arthur V. Watkins (R-Utah) walked out in silent fury, but later told a reporter: "I'm sick and tired of it. I don't intend to be lectured, humiliated and embarrassed by the chairman any longer. I'm through with the hearings and any further questions I have to ask will be asked from the Senate floor." WATKINS IS NOT a member of the committee, but has been given the special privilege of questioning witnesses at his own request. He has persistently challenged the need for the treaty.

At the outset of the hearings two weeks ago, Chairman Connally accused both Watkins and Sen. Forrest Donnell (R-Mo) of trying to "obstruct. impede and filibuster against the treaty." Watkins and Donnell hotly denied the accusation. The row-threatening trouble for the Administration when the Sendebate the treatydeveloped as Watkins started to question Mrs. Kathryn H.

Senator Donnell, sat tight and told newsmen: expect to question as many of the witnesses as I have time to." Connally said: "'The stenographic record of the hearings shows that the two senators have consumed two-thirds of the time, including questions by committee and the testimony of the witnesses." The spat came shortly after former Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson told the committee that the Atlantic treaty will preserve peace because Russia would not dare go to war against the combined strength of the signatory nations. Ryerson Hits Welfare Plan Chicago, May 9 (AP) Edward L. Ryerson, former chairman of the Illinois Public Aid commission, says Gov. Adlai E.

Stevenson's proposal to merge the commission with the state Welfare department is "very ill-advised and a great mistake." The proposal is one of Stevenson's major requests to the Legislature, which has not acted on it yet. The governor contends merger would save money and cut down overlapping services. Ryerson, Chicago steel industrialist and civic leader, was chairman of commission for eight years before he retired last February. Ryerson said the proposed merger would give control to the welfare director "and this is too big a responsibility for one man. A single administrator cannot do justice to all the programs.

Furthermore, there is need for a genuine nonpartisan administration. "The commission type of administration has worked well," he told a reporter.

PINKHAM'S Vegetable Compound Soviet Orders Blockade Lifting Early Thursday Berlin, May (AP) The Russians and western powers announced tonight that two-way traffic to Berlin and across the Soviet zonal border will start at a minute past midnight Thursday morning. The order to lift the Berlin blockade at that time was broadcast on the Russian radio tonight by I. Chuikov, Soviet commander in Germany.

Chuikov ordered restoration of "transport, trade and communications effective at 12:01 a. time. May 12, (4:01 p. m. C.

S. Wednesday), the date agreed upon by the four occupation powers May 4 in New York. Earlier, the western powers had said would permit traffic into the Russian zone to begin moving at that minute. THE SOVIET ORDER specifically lifted the Russian controls on the Soviet sector line dividing Berlin. Chuikoy's order permits 16 freight trains a day to move into Berlin, restores highway traffic, waives previous Soviet claims to search Allied baggage and demand Soviet travel permits at certain checkpoints.

Two cars of state police and a detective bureau squad escorted the state prison van in which he was brought from Stateville penitentiary to the U. S. courthouse. The ride was in connection with the prohibition era gangster's attempt to win freedom under habeas corpus proceedings.

Touhy, however, did not appear in court. He spent the time in the court's witness room. Judge John P. Barnes set May 31 for a full hearing of the case. Touhy will be brought to Chicago again on May 23 and housed at the county jail until his appearance in court.
