Eisenhower Outlines Five-Point Program WASHINGTON, May 19 (iP)—President Eisenhower sub mitted to the nation tonight a five-point program that offered no immediate reductions in what he called this "age of danger." Speaking by radio on "an issue' affecting all our lives," Eisenhower told the people "we must be strong—and- we must stay strong" in the face of perils brought on by the cold cal culation of Soviet leaders. His tax plan supported that idea by calling for continuation of present income and corporation levies, at least for the time-being. It did propose that a scheduled boost in social 'security tax e s, which would take effect Jan. 1, be put off. It was Eisenhower's first formal speech direct to the nation by radio. . • . . '" NO-Soviet Change What it amounted to was an attempt to spell out for the people in ABC terms why he believes taxes must remain high even though -his administration ha s proinised economy. "We all know something," Eis enhower said, "of' the long record of deliberately planned Commu nist aggression. There has been, to this moment, no reason to be lieve that Soviet' policy has changed its frequently announced hope and purpose—the destruc tion of freedom everywhere. Need Tax Program Defense of the nation, the Pres ident said, must be borne for a long, indefinite time. He said it cannot "consist of sudden, blind responses to a series of fire alarm emergencies." • In this "age of peril,' he said this.is the tax program he is rec ommending to Congress: FOR A B STATE COLLEGE, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 20, 1953 30 Seniors To Vie for Class Titles Ballots with names of out standing seniors who may be chosen for honorary titles at Class Night ceremonies are avail able at the Student Union desk, Douglas Schoerke, chairman, an nounced.
