Tsuii By PHIL MEWSOM 17 P Foreign News Editor ' The dangerously: increased ' tempo of the China war excited peace feelers in both Washington and London today. Both nations feel that a little war suddenly could become aJ big war. ; The British Foreign office dis closed it had discussed : with both the United States and Mew Zealand the possibility of initi ating cease fire moves through the United Nations. Only yester day, President Eisenhower said in hi Washington press confer ence that he would welcome the United Nations' use of its good offices in seeking a cease fire.' f : On Generalissimo' Chiang Kai- : Washington (U.R) Presi 'dent Eisenhower, said today that '"the vigor of the recent recov- ery" points to a f'high and satis factory level of employment and production" in 1955. j T annual cennnmir renort 'do Congress, he said that con- (inued economic expansion, coupled with further cuts in led eral spending, "should make pos- BlDUS ; a geueiai uwugu uunr 'est. reduction in taxes" next year. But he repeated that a tax reduction will not be justified this year, i; ; 'Glorious Future' Seen- o H 1 As for long-range prospects, Mr. Eisenhower held out the pos sibility of "a glorious economic ' future" with national production rate of 360 billion to 500 billion dollars or more within 10 years. , He also warned in his general ly optimistic report that the gov ernment will not -permit a bull stock market to run awajr and upset . ' the nation's ; economy. "Continued - economic. 'recovery must not be jeopardized by. over emphasis of I speculative activ ity," he said. . the government will keep a ."close watch" on the stock mar ket and other financial develop ments. The Senate Banking com mittee also will investigate tie Wall Street boom next month. , Gradual Braking v;; : s- :. ; ; But the President said that any government brakes on the ris ing stock market will be applied gradually, r ' " 'V . - : ; The 203-page report contain ed 33 specific recommendations fdr action" by Congress or . the states to create a favorable cli mate for economic growth.' Most were . repeats from , the ,Presi dent's State - of the Union and budget messages. His principal new proposals were that Con aress - "substantially" i- increase the maximum fine for violating ' the Sherman Anti-Trust act, and that the states liberalize unem ployment -A compensation pay-ments."-' ; '' : j - . He based his forecast ' for a prosperous 1955 on the expecta tion that spending by consumers and state and local governments will continue to rise, likelihood of "some rebuilding" of inventor ies, a good outlook for construe ' tion and export trade, prospects for an upward turn in plant and equipment .r and expenditures, and a 'slowdown . in the decline in federal spending'. ' N Mr. Eisenhower' termed last year's I economic decline "rela tively mild and brief and said 1954 "will go down in history as one of your most -' prosperous years." . But '. he conceded that some localities and mdustries, particularly , manufacturers of durable goods, "suffered seri ously.' viV ; ' ' Cites Business Upturn V" " The ; decline was halted last fall and business generally turn ed up," he said. ? - v "When the year ended . i' . a general economic recovery was in process," he said.'

Nevertheless s o m e upward thrust on the nation's economy would be felt this year if- his recommendations are .carried out, he said. !,-- His recommendations included a 10-year : 101 billion dollar highway program,-? raising . the minimum wage . from 75 to 90 cents an ; hour, -further ; liberal ization of the home mortgage program and a step-up in school construction. " - ti Mr. Eisenhover emphasized his ' belief that America's pros perity is based on its free en terprise system. .. . Wants Jobless Pay Hike Mr. Eisenhower proposed that unemployment insurance 'pay ments be increased to at least half of a jobless person's regu lar earnings and that the mini mum period - for' such payments bex26 .weeks. He said payments now average about 34 per ,ce.nt of -regular , earningsi '' I ; He also urged extension of un employment insurance coverage to employees of state and local: governments' and to those work- j ing for firms employ ing less than four persons.'
