NEWS PHOTOS ADVERTISING COMICS AND FEATURES FIVE CENTS PER COPY Hopes Vanished For Tax Cut This Year WASHINGTON (tPi President Eisenhower sent Con gress today a $62,408,000,000 spending budget based on preparedness and prosperity. He banned tax reduction now. but, gave hope ol tax relief next year,! a presidential election year. He sounded a solemn alert that peace remains anxiously insecure. To prepare against "a long per iod of uncertainty," he allotted to major national security in the new 1956 fiscal year two thirds of all government spending 540,458.- 000.000 The accent was on air power and atomic weapons. The Air Force got almost as much as the Army and Navy combined. The President’s total new' spend ing. budget was down more than a billion dollars from this year’s and estimated revenue was up a billion,V but he still couldn't balance the , budget. He looked for a deficit of $2,403,000,000. . | POINTS EMPHASIZED The President, however, empha sized these points on the positive side: 1. “Never in our peacetime his tory have we been as well prepared to defend ourselves as we are now.” 2. “Our present growing prosper ity has solid foundations ... a growing 'prosperity will result in in creasing revenues and should make possible both a balanced budget and lower tax rates in the future.” Secretary of Treasury George M. Humphrey set fiscal 1957 beginning July 1, 1956 —as the target date for tax cuts and a balanced budget— “or nearer a balanced budget,” Mr. Eisenhower called for legisla tion that would lead to a new kind of tax relief for 35 million smaller taxpayers relief from the task of figuring out their tax returns. This v'ould not become effective until 1957 at the earliest. He asked for 12 million dollars in new money to provide closer audit ing of tax returns to assure that all hands pav their fair share.

NO. 30 Cups Now Cost More Than All Expenses Then WASHINGTON (IP!—George Wash ington spent less in his first year as first president to run the entire federal government than President Eisenhower has budgeted for things like paper cups and paper towels in fiscal 1956. The item for paper cupe and the like runs to $4,250,000. That’s more than half as much as the whole federal government spent in the first eight years of its existence. The 1956 budget, like all its pre decessors of modern times, is a multi billion. 11-digit whopper. Time »as when million-doUar budgets were the rule. In the first 127 years of U.
