Ike Expected To Continye Against more Anti recession enssve ens Washington (IP) President a decision on tax reduction Eisenhower, with an eye on the returning Congress, will continue his offensive against further drastic anti-recession measures, administration lead ers predicted today.

This is the administration's present position on the reces sion: Taxes: No reason to make Obituaries EMMA A. JONES Services for Mrs. Emma A.

No Big Public Works Public works: This is no time for a big program. Such things move too slowly to ease unemploym ent and stimulate business in less than several months. Deficit: Experts don't hope for much lower than a $2 bil lon federal deficit this fiscal year; much more in 1959 and for years to come if Congress continues to appropriate large amounts to turn the economy upward. Wages and prices: Restraint on the part of business and labor is indicated. Business particularly can do a lot more to help itself with better sales manship, more attractive price policies and offering more at tractive goods. Labor should consider new wage demands in the light of what they might do to prices. Economy in Government: Congress can help reduce the deficit by going along with administration suggestions for savings in government opera tion. Budget Director Maurice H. Stans, in some of the bluntest language yet used by an ad ministration official, laid cur rent policy on the line Wednes day night in a speech at Hous ton, Tex. Asserting there must be an eventual day of reck oning for deficit financing, he declared: "Unbalanced national budgets, are like pants with out suspenders. You can't keep them up forever." Stans said "Large public works programs are not the right answer for the country now" because "what we get from these slow-moving pro jects are bigger budgets later on, when that may be the last thing we want." Selective Tax Cut With a big "if," he said that should conditions "reach the point where a large scale shot in the arm seems needed, a selective tax cut ought to come first." The United Press reported April 1 that administration fiscal experts foresaw a pos sibility of a deficit for fiscal 1958, which ends this June 30, of between $2 billion and $3 billion Stans estimated in his Houston speech the de ficit would be at least a billion dollars over the $400 million estimated in January. He ad ded this did not take into con sideration the expected fall off in tax colections. Openly criticizing Congress for not paying sufficient at tention to administration re commedations for economiz ing, he declared: "By turning on vast new programs for spending, it has moved far away from any hope of balanced budgets for 19 5 9 and possibly several more years. frock List Pulled Onto Higher Ground RAYMOND REDMON Ashland Funeral services for Raymond Vernon Red mon, 62, of Talent, are tenta tively set for Litwiller's Mountain View chapel Satur day at 2 p.m. with interment in Mountain View cemetery.
