Lower Budget Deficit Seen In Fiscal 34 :i : . . j : ■ y . I Officials Elated At Report Showing Budget Deficit Cut WASHINGTON UP — Administration officials were elated today! by an up-to-date budget report showing that the Republican economy drive has slashed $6,100,000,000 from the prospective federal, deficit for fiscal 1954. In a new review of income and spending, the budget bureau estimated tbe godbrnment will go $3.800.000.000 Tn the red for (he fear ending next June SO. That compares with fi deficit of $9,900,000,000 forecast by former' President Truman before he left ‘ i>ffice last January. • ; it also represents a substantial .improvement l .ln the budget outlook since May, when President Eisenhower estimated the deficit at $5,600,000,000. • The budget, review estimated government spending for the year at $72,100,000,000 — $6,560,000,000 below former President Truman’s January estimate, and $2,000,000,000 below Mr. Eisenhower's May estimate. Secretary of treasury George M. Humphrey hailed the revised estimate's as “very good news.” He said the new figures mean "we havb turned the corner” in the struggle for a balanced budget, but he declined to speculate jon.,the possibility of a balanced budget next year “until we get the facts.” Part of the “good is . that it will not be necessary to call congress into special sbssion this fall to boost the debt /limit. The new figures estimate that the national debt at the end ofi this fiscal year will be $271,100,000,000 —. $3.900,000,000 below the present limit and some $2,000,000,000 less than President Eisenhower had estimated in his urgent, but futile lastminute appeal to congress to boost the debt ceiling before it adjourned early month. Here are comparative budget estimates for fiscal 1954 by former President Truman, Mr. Eisenhowi er and the budget bureau, together with actual figures for fiscal 1953. which ended June 30 -4 all figures represent billions of dollars’: ' \ Spending ■ Truman January, $78.6; Eisenhower May. $74.1; budget bureau August, $72.1; fiscal 1953 actual $74.6.

'i ' t Deficit Truman $9.9; Eisenhower $5.6; budget bureau $3.8; fiscal 1953 $9,4L The new outline of this year’s anticipated revenues- \ took it for granted that personal income taxes will drop about 10 per cent Jan. 1 and the excess profits, tax will die at the same time, as scheduled. It also assumed corporation income \axes will be reduced .and certain excise taxes will expire next April 1, as now scheduled. But President Eisenhower has requested that both/ April 1 changes be postponed indefinitely. If all four tax changes go through on schedule the treasury eventually will lose about $8,000,000,000 a year in revenues which would have (Tara Ta Pace Sta»

Enough Gamma Globulin NEW YORK UP .— Despite “shortages,” there is enough ga,mma globulin for mass immunizations of children in polid “epidemic areas" and the time to use it is now. the United Press learned today lon high authority.

The Indians will guard the reluctant prisoners while interrogators on both sides attempt to persuade the captives to change their minds. . ~t The United Nations is holding 14,000 Chinese and some 5,000 North Korears who said thoy would prefer death to returning |o a life under Communism. South Korean President Syngman Rhee turned loose 2’,000 anti-Red North Koreans last June in an act t£ut almost torpedoed the truce. n h 7!*ttds far the Communists have not given the u.N. the number Os their captives who are resisting repatriation, but ’returning prisoners said there were Americans in their camps who swi.llowed the Red line and had refused to go home. Less; than 900 Americans scheduled for repatriation remained in» Communist custody' today as 1‘44 Gl’s went through Freedom Gatp. Unless the’ Reds plan to froe more than the 1.313 Americans listed for repatriation in “Operation Big (Switch.” oily 891 are still in the Communist compounds.

Intelligence sources already had been considering October as a danger month because South Ko- ; reans returning to freedom from •Red prison camps have sung songs with words to the effect that "we’ll see you in October when the snow is flying."

r— r ; —r-r r Navy Opposes Trade With Red Countries View In Conflict With State Dept.! WASHINGTON UP — T|ie/ navy believes that any trading by free world ships with Iron Curtain countries adds to the “overall strength” of the Communists, it was disclosed today. i i The navy’s views on east-west trade, spelled out by secretary Robert B. Anderson *in a letter to Wayne Morse I-Ore., appeared to conflict with position, of the. state department. ‘ <|. Anderson said that any western ship that calls at a Soviet-bloc port to take on or discharge cargo adds to the Soviet shipping potential. His letter was dated Mhy 18 And was inserted in the congressional recbrd by Morse Thursday. Morse had asked for a statement on .the subject from the navy. “The denial of such services by westerj ships would, of necessity, require greater employment of the Soviet bloc merchant fßeet which, by western standards, is handicapped by a high degree of- obsolescence,” Anderson said. Anderson's letter was written a few days after secretary of State (John Foster Dulles had outlined a different position to the /sfnefh*. permanent investigations "subcommittee which conducted an UKauiix into east-west trade. * Dulles said that while (he United States seeks, in the long .run. to persuade its allies to shut off all trade with Communist China, there were “specific instances” in Which some transactions with the Reds might work to “our net security advantage.” The United States has’banned all trade by American vessels 'with Communist China and the United Nations has imposed on embargo on shipments of strategic gootjs to ‘ fTuru letxtot) ■/' J.
