Congress Faces Near-Impossible Job Off Keeping Federal Money (Balanced By FRANK ELEAZER United Press Correspondent Washington (IP) Con gress, reconvening Tuesday, faces what looks like a near impossible task iri trying to keep the government in the black while shoring up the national defense. Present indications are that neither congressional nor ad ministration action can be as sured a balanced budget for ihe new fiscal year starting in July. Only a swelling re turn from taxes can do so, and that is problematical. Even for the current fiscal year, a project surplus is fast dwindling and by June 30, when the year ends, many lawmakers think the balance sheet may show a deficit. Congressional wrest ling with this possibly insoluble problem will" be complicated by a threatened recession. Some congressmen, as well as some administration officials, consider a balanced budget a minor asset, or even a liabil ity, in a period of economic downturn. In Congress last year the big thing was economy, look ing toward a tax cut. In the new session the key will be national defense, at whatever price. A general tax cut is now out of the picture, unless a major recession develops. ProbabU Support President Eisenhower will ask for, and informed con gressional sources say he will get, enough added defense ap propriations to boost missile Holland Hotel - r -s Oin rir svt I FIB CO zft? 3J.blhw - DINING - MUSIC - DANCING Railroad Shares Lead Active New York OP) Rail road shares continued to lead the stock market higher in a more active session today.

The number of licenses sus pended showed a very slight drop. Judges reported 137,277 convictions for breaking traf fic laws. A total of 8,753 drivers had licenses suspended. EX-CZECH DIPLOMAT DIES Washington OP) Dr. Vlas timil Kybal, 77, former Czech oslovakian diplomat, died Thursday at George Washing ton Hospital after a long ill ness. Kybal, former Czech minister to Italy, Brazil, Spain and Mexico, came to the Unit ed States after the German oc cupation of his homeland. As a historian, he had been con nected in teaching and re search capacities with the Cal ifornia Institute of Technolo gy, Iowa State University, and Yale and Columbia Uni versities. 'and related defense spending to about $40 billion in fiscal 1959. This is about $2 billion more than first was projected for fiscal 1958 and about $1 billion more than now is ex pected to be spent during the year. Initially Eisenhower talked of offsetting this added spend ing by cuts elsewhere in the federal budget, and possibly even a deficit, as part of a campaign against economic recession. But weather or not Eisen hower calls for spending cuts at the expense of farmers, veterans, and public works projects as forecast earlier it becomes increasingly evi dent" that Congress won't buy much of this. With government expenses on the way up, the total budg et probably will rise to about S74 billion, from the current rate of about $72 billion. ' Other highlights of the eco nomic picture facing the re turning lawmakers: Taxes: Once again the war time excise tax rates and levies on corporation income will have to be extended. A general tax reduction pro jected by Democratic leaders last year has been set aside indefinitely. Specific tax "ad justments" may come out of tax hearings starting in the House Ways and Means com mittee on the opening day of the session.

Possible Economies: Admin istration spokesmen said earl ier Eisenhower would try to offset increased defense out lays by imposing economies on non-defense programs. Non-service-connected pensions for veterans, farm benefits, and rivers and harbors projects were singled out as the most likely targets. Now the ad ministration is reported back ing down somewhat from the projected big cutback in vet erans spending and possibly from other economies too. . The reported switch is said to reflect increased concern at the economic downswing as well as advice from congres sional leaders that Congress won't go along with any big cuts. TONITE AND ONLY! SATURDAY ViN. Friday, January 3, 1958 Europe in Union as By NORMAN RUNNION United Press Correspondent Paris (IP The course of European history changed this week but hardly anyone noticed it. ' There was no ringing of bells as the European com mon market and Euratom treaties came into existence in New Year's Day. But the European states men who plotted both treat ies on the road to reality probably gave them a toast of success as they rang in the new year. The treaties are the biggest step ever taken towards a united Europe. They are de signed to set up a customs free trade zone between France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, and provide for the exchange of atomic know how. Any other West European nation wishing to join can eventually do so. But nothing will happen tomorrow, or next week, or next month to really show that Europe has taken one of the biggest steps forward in its history. Long Process Jan. 1, 1958, was just the starting date. Not for another 15 years, according to the present time-table, will tar iff walls be completely ab olished. No reductions at all are compulsory until Jan. 1, 1959. At this time tariffs must drop 10 per cent. At the end of the next four years, they are to be down by 30 per cent. When the timetable is com plete, it will mean, for ex ample, that a Frenchman can buy an Italian product with out paying any duty on it. It will also mean that be cause of the freer exchange of goods and services, the Eu ropean members of the treaty will be able to form them selves into an economic block potentially capable of com peting on an equal footing with the United States and the Soviet Union. The six nations form an area of 449,000 miles. It is inhabited by 160 million per sons about two-thirds of non-Communist Europe. The population of the Unit ed States is 169 million and that of Russia 217 million. More Gains In five years time, It will also include French overseas territories (with a population of 31 million), and the Bel gian Congo (12 million per sons.)

It will produce 220 billion kilowatt hours of power per year, against 620 billion in the U.S. and 215 billion in Russia. In addition, its inhabit ants will be able to travel among each other's nations without passports; work in other countries without work permits; buy stocks in Bel gium, or invest in Italy; pay the same fare on all railroads; turn out goods that will be competitive in price on the Way Clear for Bridge Across Sandy River Portland IP) Army Engineers today cleared the way for construction of a new highway bridge across the Sandy river east of Port land. Engineers designated the Sandy a minor waterway over which bridges may be built without further approval. The Oregon Highway Com mission had requested the designation before proceed ing with a widening project on Highway 30 east from Portland.
