There is a continual trend

A joint meeting of the men’s

“but I am sure that the present
trend trill continue and that even
tually the church will become un

To find the meaning of the trend,
he said, it might be a'good idea to
conduit the Srriptures. The word
“unity* he pointed out, occurs
twice in the New Testoftient.
In St. Paul’s epistle to the Rphe

unity of the faith and of the know

Reds Blasted
Tax Cut Hopes
By MERRIMAN SMITH
(IP) White House Writer
WASHINGTON (IP)
President Eisenhower told
the American people Tues
day night that their hopes
for early tax relief have been
blasted b y “Communist
guns” qnd Dem o c ratic
“wast£.”
.In a nationwide radio broadcast,
he blamed Russia and the former
Truman administration for forcing
him to ask Congress to maintain
present tax rates until next year,
even though he considers them “too
high.”
His 30-minute speech was a di
rect appeal for public support of
the five-point tax program which
he will submit to Congress in a
formal message soon, perhaps to
day.
The program calls for a six-mon
th extension of the excess profits
tax now due to expire June 30:
indefinite postponement of the cuts
in excise and corporation income
tax rates which are due next April
1; allowing personal income taxes
to drop 10 percent Jan. 1 as sche
duled; and pegging Social Security
payroll taxes at the present 1H per
cent instead of letting them go
up to 2 per-cent next year.
SUPPORT PLEDGED
High-ranking Republican and
Democratic leaders of Congress
pledged thCir support of his pro
posals. But they faced strong op
position from many rank-and-file
Republicans who favor tax cuts for
business and Individuals this year.
Mr. EisSnhower said his Repub
lican'administration .te cutting fed

gress enacts his tax program.
He declined to promise a % bal
anced budget by any specific date,
declaring that Tils efforts to achieve
one “will depend on some gradual
improvement in the world situa
tion.” He held out no hope for an
early easing of the East-West ten
sions. *
“There has been, to this moment,
no reason to believe that Soviet
pilicy has changed its frequently
announced hope and purposes—the
destruction of freedom everywhere 1 '
he said. “We live in an age of peril.”

THE RECORD
GETS RESULTS
Some Leaders
Still Insist
On Tax Cuts '
WASHINGTON (IP»
President Eisenhower faced
a major test of his political
leadership today in trying to
persuade a reluctant Con
gress to hold off tax cuts
uptil next year.
High-ranking Republicans and
Democrat's of both houses pledged
their support of his five-point tax
program, which would add about
$1,000,000,000 to the government's
income during the 1954 fiscal year.
But there were rumblings of re
volt from many rank and file mem
bers of the President’s own party,
who feel they are politically com
mitted to early tax relief. The dis
appointed GOP lawmakers drfew
little comfort from Mr. Eisenhow
er’s statement that he is willing
to let a 10 per cent cut In per
sonal income taxes take effect Jan.
1, as scheduled under present law..;
The consensus was that Mr. Els- S
enhower’s proposals for extension
of the excess profits tax and post
ponement of scheduled drppe in
corporation and excise taxes wiß
encounter mighty tough sledding in I
the house, where all members are '
up for reelection next year.
Mr. Eisenhower spelled out his
tax plans in a nationwide radio
broadcast Tuesday night. ' \ -‘gj
Mr. Eisenhower said that even
the limited tax relief he proposed
for next year ‘‘would not have been
possible but for the economies, that
have been naacje and are being
made by ■ this administration.”
