Ike V Economic Report to Give U.S. First Glimpse of Plans ttf Fight Recession WASHINGTON Ifl President Eisenhower' economic report to Congress next month will give the country its first glimpse of the administration's plans -to combat any possible recession, informed officials said Sunday. Administration aides expect Ei senhower to give strong reassur ance that 1934 will be another year of nigh prosperity, equal or close to this year's boom level. But be will report in "fairly spe cific terms." it was predicted, on government plans to prevent the current business "readjustment" or any future dip from spiraling into a depression." As an ultimate measure, public works are on the list of standby measures. However, officials said no major program of works spend ing will be launched unless a real economic emergency develops. Instead, it was reported, the pump priming emphasis will be on federal actions designed to aid and encourage private enterprise in maintaining high production and employment. If federal works are used also, the aim would be to select proj ects which would contribute to the country's long-run productivity and economic growth. Stabilization Program The President's .Council of Eco nomic Advisors has been develop ing a stabilization program since pnng. who heads the three-member coun cil, is also chairman of an inter agency committee called "ABEGS" the Advisory Board on Economic Growth and Stabil ity. This group meets weekly and supplements the council's plan ning efforts. It is made up of representatives of the Treasury, Labor, Commerce and Agriculture Departments, the Federal Reserve Board, the Budget Bureau and the White House. Both Burns and Secretary of Labor Mitchell have disclosed that a standby public works program is among the weapons which Ei senhower would employ, if neces sary, to fulfill his pledge to use the full powers of government to maintain high-level economic sta bility. The full program, officials indi cated, breaks down into four pro posed phases of action, carrying the government progressively deeper into direct intervention in the nation's economic life. These steps, as outlined by well placed administration sources, -would follow this general pattern: 1. Strengthening some of the "built-in stabilizers which might cushion or delay a deflationary movement."

On the eighth ballot weary mem bers of the Council of the Republic f Senate) and the National Assem bly (lower House) cast 430 votes for Laniel and 381 for the Socialist candidate, Marcel-Edmond Naege len. Laniel needed 452 votes for a majority on the ballot. Former Premier Antoine Pinay, an independent leather manufac turer, got 25 of the votes cast. Louis Jacquinot, who like Laniel also is an independent, picked up 19 votes and 53 others were scat tered among lesser known men who are not avowed candidates.

The goal of such steps, in a time of economic hesitation, would be to provide consumers and busi- i ness firms with incentives to spend. Cutback in Taxes 3. Tax adjustment. Despite the administration's em phasis on balancing the budget, officials leave no doubt that this would be relegated to second im portance if it appeared that tax reductions and deficit spending were needed to prevent economic disaster.

N. Command soldiers during the truce. Chinese soldiers are burrowing deep into the frozen earth along the northern border. American and other U. N. troops watch sus piciously from the south. On lonely outposts, small units wait to give the first warning of a resumed war if it ever is needed. A field telephone or radio is about their only link with the army wait ing behind them.
