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

Convictions Increase

more than two per cent dur

Department reported today.

A total of 8,753 drivers had

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.
Debt Ceiling: With deficit
spending again in prospect,
Congress almost certainly will

on non-defense programs. Non-service-connected

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

won't go along with any big

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.) The area's annual steel
production will b 60 million
