He said his tax program would result in about 600 million dollars tax relief each for individuals and for businesses, in addition to the changes that took effect Jan. 1: a 10 percent cut in personal tax rates and abolition of the excess profits tax on corporations. In the message of about 40,000 words, Eisenhower also: 1. Recommended a 25-point tax revision program, calling upon congress to: shift the annual per sonal income tax deadline from March 15 to April 15;' liberalize deductions for family medical costs; allow limited deductions for child care; give farmers a deduc tion for soil conservation; extend corporation income and excise tax rates rather than permit them to decline April 1 to pre-Korea lev els' and enact a series of revisions aimed at lightening and adjusting the tax load on business. 2. Renewed his pica, stymied in the Senate after the House okay ed it last year, for a higher legal limit on the national debt. While he used no figure today, his pre vious request for a boost from the present 275 billion dollars to 290 billions. The debt is now about 274 Mi billions. 3. Revised downward budget es timates for the current fiscal year which ends next June 30. Here is the comparison between Eisenhow er's estimates for the current year made last August and now, the August figure first in each in stance: Income $68,305,000,000 $67,628,000,000 Outgo 72,116,000,000 70,902,000,000 Deficit , 3,811,000,000 3,274,000,000 Year-end debt 271,100,000,000 269,750.000.000 Eisenhower thus trimmed near ly VA billion dollars from his pret vious spending prediction for this year, and, despite a drop of 677 million dollars in expected rev enue came up with a fiscal 1954 deficit 537 million dollars lower than he estimated six months ago. His new fiscal 1954 estimates showed incc-me about one billion dollars less than former President Truman estimated in his budget message to Congress a year ago. Spending was estimated about V billions less than Truman fore cast, the new deficit figure was over G1 billions less than Tru man's, and the debt predicted for next June .10 was four billion dollars under Truman's figure. Senate Approves Improvement Bill For St. Lawrence WASHINGTON (-The Senate, after slapping down St. Lawrence seaway legislation for two decades, has finally taken a huge step to wards authorizing the United States to join Canada in carrying out the project. But after an enabling measure saiied through the Senate last night on a 51-33 vote, Canadian government informants raised a serious question as to whether their country was still interested in U. S. participation: After repeated failure of seaway legislation in Congress, Canada undertook to go it alone. In Ottawa last nignt, government sources said that country still would push for an all-Canadian seaway on her side of the boundary river. The Canadian government was repre scnted as feeling that the United States, spending 105 million dol lars, would be getting too much ot a bargain in joint control ot navi gation and shioDins tolls. They explained Canada already has -spent that much on locks and is prepared to put up 300 million dollars for navigation facilities. The bill approved by the Senate would permit the United States to join with Canada in cunning a a-foot-deeo St. Lawrence River chan nel linking the Great Lakes to the Atlantic.

Convicts Fail In Escape Try SALEM 11 Four convicts who failed in an attempt to scale the prison walls Wednesday night, were in segregation cells Thurs day. Their discovery of switches in the basement of a cellblock appar ently led to their effort; their mis taken assumption the switches would let them flee in darkness was a chief factor in the failure. The switches were in a tempor ary power station installed while construction was under wav. Thev controlled only half the prison lights. The wall lights and guard tower lights were blazing brightly when the four got to a rooftop near the wall. From the roof thev tried in throw a line over the wail. A cable and hook they had devised failed to snag as they expected. So they tried to sneak back to j their cells but were caught before i they got there. i participate in the opening number of the program.
