McCormack added his "present Inclination" is not to tend present rates on corporations and excises. Eisenhower urged Congress lo cancel three billion dollars in cuts in these fields, now set automatically for April 1, and to prevent losses in revenue from other excises not involved In the April 1 changes.

Reduction Predicted Rep. Kean (R-NJ), fourth-ranking Ways and Means Committee Republican and usually an administration supporter, predicted there would be "at least slight reductions In corporullon income taxes and considerable reductions in soine of the higher excises." Rep. Jenkins (R-Ohio), secondranking GOP committee member, said in a separate Interview, "I think we'll cut, corporation taxes some and I think we'll cut excises." The corporate Income tax rate, now 52 pc cent, is due to drop to 47 per cent on April 1 unless Congress changes the law. Sen. George (D-Ga), senior Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, and others have suggested 8 50 per cent rate, which would reduce revenue by almost a billion dollars annually.

McCormack said he approved of A move by all 10. Democrals on the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee to write into the vision program nn increase of $100 In personal income exemptions for each Inxpayer and cach dependent. All 15 committee Republicans voted against this proposal yesterday, slopping it for the time being. But McCormack and Rep. Boggs (D-La), sponsor of the move, sald they expected the fight to bc renewed on the House floor.

Liberal Plan Approved McCormack, nsked bout the federal deficit if all the tax cuts he suggesled take effect, replied: "There Is a huge deftelt anyway." Eisenhower's budget outlined 6 deficit of almost three billion dollars for the fiscal year beginning July 1. Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey, predicting that corporate and excise ralcs would be extended, said scheduled cuts would increase the deficit 10 300,000,000.

Estimate Optimistio "High corporation profits In 1953 are a major factor in reducing the size of the prospective, deficit," Dougias sald interview. "Nevertheless, this estimate is much too optimistic. It is simply incredible that they can cut the deficit down dollars in less than six months." Douglas, 8 former economics professor, also took issue with Elsenhower's statement that mates of receipts for the next fis cal year "are based upon the continuation of business conditions, personal income and corporation profits at substantially the present high levels." Douglas said the budget contains no. hint of any administration program should the forecast prove wrang. there should be 8 serious drop in business he said, "not only will that increase the deficit at existing rates of taxation but it will raise the further question as to whether we should not give a stimulus to employment by Increasing the personal exemptian for Income tax purposes and by some positive program of pub11c works." Revision Plan Endorsed Republicans ally along with the President's endorsement of a tax revision plan to move alleged inequities at an eventual cost of about two billion dollars in revenue.

Some democrats claimed the plan favored corporations and big stockholders, and talked about reduction to include all taxpayers. Word was that the administration would delay pressing the President's renewed request that the legal limit 0n the debt be boosted from the present 275 billions. The house last year voted to hike the ceiling 290 billions, but the Senate failed to act. There is still strong opposition there. The budget also drew fire from some Senators for its sharp trimming ot proposed federal grants far hospital construction, municipal airports, low-rent public housing and maritime subsidy programs.

Eisenhower recommended that 50 million dollars be appropriated for grants to the states for hospilal building in fiscal. 1955. This Is 15 million less than the current year and 100 million less than the maximum authorized. Sen. Hill (D-Alm), co-author of the act which sel up hospital aid program.

The prisoners probably would have little trouble leaving the unguarded compound, however, since IL is surrounded by only two strands of wire.

As result, recommended outlays were held to about billions compared with about estimated for the rent fiscal year, which ends Julie 30.

Douglas, World War IT rine, said It "seems unwise to cut our ground forces this much."
