S. defense against atomic ■ attack, to give us better feyes to . detect incoming aircraft, to give > our defenses — our interceptors, • bnti-aircraft. and civilian defense — the maximum time to react,” Wilson said. Atty. Gen. Herbert Brownell, Jr. I indicated the justice department plans a new drive to convict I known spies and uncover Red “higher-ups” if congress grants i two laws he has requested. j. j Brownell said one of the pro- ; posed laws, to permit a grant of • immunity from prosecution to key witnesses, would, in stamping out criminal and sub- , versive activities." «. “With this new weapon we believe we can obtain testimony u hich will assist in uncovering the higher-ups conspiring to overthrow this government by force and Violence.” he said. Brownell said his second request, to permit use of wire-tap evidence in court, would enable • the justice department to “prove espionage in certain cases” which cannot be'’pressed now because of existing legal rules. “Since it would be a change in procedure and not a matter of substantive law', there w'ould be no ‘ barrier on the ex post facto theory to prosecution of these cases.” he : said. •Citing achievements of his first year, Brownell said the FBl’s “efforts to prevent and combat Communist infiltration into our government? long ignored, are now receiving utmost cooperation.” Secretary of treasury George M. Humphrey repeated previous statements that the administration “will set a pattern of tax reduction on which a modest start will be made, with provision for additional reductions” as the situation permits. • - While he did not elaborate, in- • formed sources said Humphrey will propose further tax cuts in' addition to expiration of the Excess profits tax and the 10 percent inching tax cut. slated to take effect Jan. 1. The cuts are expected to involve such things as allowing working mothers to deduct baby sitters’ fees and liberalizing dependency deductions for students in college. Highlights of other cabinet statements: Secretary of agriculture Ezra T. Benson—price support, "properly used,” are an “effective stabilization device” and "the price support principle must be part of any long range farm program.” But supports “should not be used in ways that , will discourage needed shifts in production and .in the use of our land and human resources." ‘ 3 , J >; He said the administration’s new farm program will contain a'*"new approach” aimed at banning “regimented action” ’ and unleashing “the energies of free men” to seek permanent farm prosperity. Secretary of < labor James P. Mitchell — working toward early amendment of the TaftHartley labof |.< Management re- • lations act of The goal of our changes will ibe to provide maximum encouragement of; collective > bargaining, peaceful relations between labor and management, and a minimum of government interference in labbr relations.” The labor department is ' ing extension of unemployment in--1 surance to “a substantial number” of workers not covered. It also recommends extending coverage of the wage-hour law, whose “value ... 'as a floor under our • economy is Recognized.” Secretary of interior Douglas McKay—The administration’s new power policy 'aims at ending “dictation” of power development by the federal government, and restoring “grass roots” control, in “strict conformity” with existing laws. Continued expansion and prosperity of the west depends to a degree on future reclamation, and power will be an “integral part” of manV feileral projects. These is still need to expand power “in many areas,” and tax. benefits to aid such expansion “presumably" will continue. The interior department is “moving ahead to open public lands for development by individuals” and “gteat quantities” of public lands are being released. Postmaster general Arthur E. Summerfield —"Americans are getting better mail service today.” Postal transportation is being modernized along with the department's personnel methods. The Truman administration’s estimated /deficit of 746 ipillion dollars for the current fisckl year has been cut to about 440 million dollars thus far. Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, secretary of health, education, and welfare—reiterated the administration’s request to expand social security coverage to some 10 million workers now exempt; said her department’s aid to “federally-af-fected” school areas has helped building classrooms for 350,000 , pupils.

It if) the hope of the state department, it is understood, to nail the Russians down firmly on the Jan. 25 date so there will be no further excuses for delay. The department’s official spokesman, Henry Suydam, said Monday the West’s v reply to the Soviet note that proposed the January date “will not be long delayed.” And he addled that if the meeting is to be held on Jan. 25, the sooner the date is fixed the better. The Big Three originally proposed that the ministers’ meeting be held Jan. 4 in Berlin. But Russia replied that for administrative reasons it preferred Jan. 25 at the earliest. The United States feels that the Russians were trying to embarrass the Big Three in proposing. Jan. 25, thinking that the French government might be torn by another political crisis by that time. The Eaniel government must resign when the new French president takee office Jan. 17 and there always is a chance that another long struggle over the selection of a new premier will ensue. \ In spite of this possibility, American officials are said to favor acceptance of th© Jan. 25 date so that impending Big Four talks will not provide the French with another excuse for stalling on ratification of the European army plan.

Economists See Mild Recession i In U. S. In '54 Republicans Score Democratic Talk Os Recession In 1954 j WASHINGTON UP —Republii cans criticized Democratic talk of ; a recession today as a group of : economists predicted a 5 per cent slump in the nation’s total production next year. j Senate GOP leader William F. ■ Knowland said “I don’t see any ; present indication of a substantial recession or depression.” He took i sharp issue with Sen. Paul H.. Douglas D.-111., who claims the . country already is in a recession. “There have been some adjustments from the high point of the Korean war,” said Knowland. : 1 don't thlnk< the American people want to base thelf economy on war.” au informal poll was taken Mon- ' day of 300 economists attending the annual convention here of the j American Statistical, American i Economic, and American Market- • ing Assns. A majority agreed there i will be a 5 per cent drop in output next year and that this constitutes ; a moderate recession. The poll was taken by Gerhard • ,Colm, chief economist for the Na- : tional Planning Assn. He said if j individuals and businesses carry ; out their present plans for next I year, the value of U.S. production ; may .drop as much as 15-billlon ; dollars. As a results he said, uh- } employment might rise from its 3 unusually low current level of V&s million to “perhaps” in ; 1954. j ’ Today, however; an official of s the Ford Motor Co. told the conj vention the 1954 outlook for the : auto industry is good and that; as ; a whole, favorable factors appear ; to be at least as strong as the unj favorable in the national economic : picture. 1 R.

DULLES VOICES (C«»«lanrd From Page ing was intended primarily as comment on President Eisenhower’s recent announcement that two American divisions would be withdrawn from. Korea and not on the Red drive in Laos. ! The secretary said the withdrawal of men from Korea was made possible by a comparable buildup in American troop strength just before the armistice was signed last July. The withdrawal, be said, would give the United States greater mobility in Asia in event of new Communist aggression. \ Knowland said in an interview that ,he thinks “any invasion of Thailand would be considered highly critical and one the entire free world would have to take immediate cognizance of.” A reporter asked if he meant some action like the United Nations resistance to aggression in Korea. “Unless the free world is prepared, to have all {southeast Asia gb down the drain, it couldn’t stand by,” Knowland said, “and if the United Nations did not take prompt action it (the U.N.) could not sprvive.” 'Rep.
