VA Authorized To
Boost Mortgage
Interest Rates
Liquor, Cigarette
Taxes Unchanged
Washington -flJPB- President
Eisenhower late Tuesday sign
ed into law a bill raising the
legal ceiling on the national
debt to a record peacetime
level of $295 billion.
He also beat a midnight
deadline by signing a bill to
continue high Korean war tax
rates on corporations and such
consumer items as liquor, cig
arettes, beer and new cars.
Measures Requested
The President had request
ed both measures, and signed
them without comment. Earli
er in the day he had signed a
bill authorizing the Veterans
Administration to raise the
maximum interest rate on GI
housing mortgages from 43A
per cent to a record high of
5V4 per cent.
Without the debt ceiling
bill, the debt limit would have
dropped to $283 billion at
midnight Tuesday -or about
$2 billion below the amount
actually owed by the govern
ment. Elbow' Room Provided
The treasury has predicted
that in the government book
keeping year which begins
today the debt will reach a
high of $293,500,000,000 next
Dec. 15. It sought a limit
above that, however, to pro
vide some elbow room in debt
management.
The President's signature
on the tax bill prevented an
automatic drop in tax rates at
midnight Tuesday which
would have cost the already
hard-pressed treasury about
$3 billion in revenue.
Extended Yearly
The current high rates were
put into effect during the Ko
rean war to help finance the
fighting. They have been ex
tended since on a year-to-year
basis.
The legislation retains the
52 per cent corporation tax
rates, which otherwise would
have fallen to 47 per cent at
midnight. In addition, the tax
bill provides for a tax of eight
cents a pack on cigarettes in
stead of seven; $10.50 per
proof gallon on distilled spir
its instead of $9;. $9 a barrel
on beer instead of $8; 10 per
cent on new passenger cars
instead of 7; 8 per cent on
auto parts and accessories in
stead of 5.
It also forestalls reductions
in excise taxes on wines. .

City's Proposed
Budget Hearing
Tomorrow Night
Medford's proposed 1959-60
municipal budget tomorrow
night faces a public hearing
and final consideration by the
city council.
The budget's $352,846 gen
eral fund tax levy lies with
in the statutory 6 per cent in
crease limit by $80. Thus, no
election is necessary.
No additions of new items
in the budget are expected to
morrow night. Any such addi
tion would require the pre
paration, publication and sub
sequent adoption of a new
budget. .
However, the council riiay'
reduce or eliminate items.
The total proposed prop
erty tax levy is $871,394, com
pared to the 1958-59 figure of
$830,282. City officials do not
anticipate any increase in mill
age rates. The over-all as
sessed evaluation of property
in the city is expected to rise
sufficiently to off-set the $41,
112 difference in the levies.
At the same time, of course,
Medford's growing population
intensifies the demand for
municipal services. .
The total for cash budget
expenditures in the coming
fiscal year has been set at $2,
522,747, an increase of $70,
896. For a breakdown of the
proposed budget see story on
page 10.

Discuss Peace
Washington (UPD Soviet
First Deputy Premier Frol R.
Kozlov conferred for 70 min
utes with President Eisen
hower and said afterwards
that the "cardinal question"
in their talks was world peace.
We discussed diverse ques
tions during our meeting with
President Eisenhower," Koz
lov said through an inter
preter. "The cardinal question
was a question of peace and
I hope peace will prevail
throughout the world."
Position Made Clear
American officials said they
understood that the President
made it clear to Kozlov that
the United States cannot be
stampeded or frightened into
a summit conference by
threats or crises.

Ike Believes
Congress Behind
Balanced Budget
Washington (UPD President
Eisenhower said today he be
lieved Congress is swinging
behind his goal of a balanced
budget.
The chief executive told a
sweltering news conference
that the action of Congress in
raising the permanent debt
ceiling to only $285 billion-
about the size of the present
debt-was evidence that it ex
pected federal spending to
pull into line with receipts
during the new fiscal year be
ginning today.
Implied Warning
The President at the same
time issued an implied warn
ing against the congressional
efforts to cut his request for
$1,600,000,000 in military aid
for foreign countries.
Eisenhower said the Joint
Chiefs of Staff had informed
him that the administration
figure was tne barest mini
mum required for foreign mil
itary aid, and that a larger
amount would be necessary in
fiscal 1961.
Position on Summit
Other news highlights at his
conference:
-He stuck to his position
that a summit meeting would
not be justified until Russia
proves by deed or by agree
ment to a fruitful agenda that
the heads of state can negoti
ate together profitably.
-He expected inflation to be
one of the main political is
sues in the national political
campaigns next year, but he
disclaimed any knowledge of
a purported secret govern
ment forecast that the general
price index is expected to go
up 3 per cent next year.
To Keep Hands Off -
-He said he had no inten
tion of publicly or privately
attempting to influence the
selection of the 1960 Repub
lican presidential nominee.
-The United States at this
point should not inject itself
directly into threatened new
difficulties in Cuba and the
Dominican Republic, but
should rely on the Organiza
tion of American States to
deal with the situation.
-He ordered an immediate
government study of the legal
situation involved in the Su
preme Court ruling against
the industrial security clear
ance program.

54th Year
Tribune
ing was that the President
made two chief points in a
general discussion of the ne
cessity to ease tensions and
achieve better East-West rela
tions. -The United States still in
sists on some progress at the
Geneva foreign ministers con
ference when it resumes July
13 before it will consider a
top-level meeting with Soviet
Premier Nikita S. Khrush
chev.
-The western allies will not
pull their forces out of West
Berlin under any circum
stances until there is a final
solution of the German nrob-
lem through reunification of
the country.
Kozlov, regarded by many
as the eventual successor to
Khrushchev, went to the
White House direct from an
hour-Ions meetine with Sec
retary of State Christian A.
Herter on the recessed Gene
va foreign ministers meeting.
Just before meeting with
Kozlov, Eisenhower told a
news conference that he
would be as flexible as possi
ble in his cold war talks with
Kozlov or any other Soviet
official. But the President
made it clear that there would
be no retreat from the basic
western position about the fu
ture of Berlin and Western
Germany.
