WASHING ON, Dec. 10 UP)
The adminis ration is making no
provision foil general tax reduc
tion in its planning for the coming
year, a Treasury spokesman told
Congress today.
Dan Throo i p Smith, special as
sistant on taT policy to Secretary
of the Trea4ury Humphrey. in
formed aHo e Ways and Means
subcommitte that as of now the
government' budget for the next
12 months h s "no room" for a
tax cut.
No Reduction
"So far as know now, I see no
basis for a p oposal to reduce any
taxes at this time," Smith said.
This statement was not entirely
unexpected. treasury spokesmen
bad voiced opposition earlier this
year to congressional action which
might reduce federal tax reve
nues.
Smith's statement, however, was
the first public indication that the
administration's budget for the
2958:fiscal year starting next
July 1 is to be based on present
lax levels.
$7O Billion Revenue
Smith told the subcommittee
the government's "total revenue
requirements" for the coming
year would be around 70 billion
dollars. He said this would appear
to rule out changes in the tax
laws "involving a net loss of
revenue."
If Smith's reference to 70 bil
lion dollars in new revenue re
quirements was intended as a
forecast of next year's budget, it
would indicate a substantial in
crease in federal spending over
this year's budget estimates.

Hungarian
Strike Plan
Defies Kadar
- BUDAPEST, Hungary. Dec. 10
(4')—The Budapest Central Work
ers Council defiantly stood by its
call for a nationwide 48-hour gen
eral strike against the govern
ment of Janos Kadar today. Work
ers in several big factories said
they intended to obey the call.
Sharp tension gripped this revo
lution-torn city as the midnight
deadline (6 p.m. EST) neared.
The Moscow-imposed Kadar gov
ernment. backed by overwhelm
ing military and police power.
threatened new bloodshed if the
workers struck.
Masseeze Adds to Tension
Vienna reported Monday night
all communications with Budapest
again were cut. Hours after the
deadline the Budapest radio made
no mention of the strike.
Another massacre, the killing
of 80 unarmed civilian demonstra
tors at the mining town of Salgo
tarjan in northern Hungary, by
Hungarian police, heightened the
tension.
There were strong rumors that
Soviet Deputy Premier Georgi
Malenkov had been a visitor in
Budapest Friday and Saturday
and planned to return again to
morrow to help Premier Kadar
deal with the strike.
Set Up Road Blocks
As zero hour for the strike
neared, thousands of Budapest
citizens made a shopping rush on
markets and food shops.
Police patrols, backed by Soviet
tanks and patrols, came out in
force and set up road blocks
throughout Budapest. They car
ried long lists of names. and
checked the identity cards of pas
sersby. One of their tasks was to
search for arms.
