Eisenhower is going to have to!
decide, Johnson said, “whether he|
wants an economy administration;

The Democratic leader said j
that from the record ol what he
rallgd copflicting statements by
administration officials, "the
confusion has now been com
pounded.” / -
Johnson said Secretary of the
Treasury Humphrey was for;
cuts in the President's $71,800,000
spending budget and Vice Presi
dent Nixon was not.
He quoted the President as say-;
ing on Jan. 24 that Congress has
“the duty to cut the budget,” and
on April 3 that no substantial]
reductions could be made.
Subsequently, Johnson went on,
presidential assistant Sherman!
Adams had said the budget could!
stand reductions of up to two!
billion dollars.
Republican Sens. William F.
Knowland of California and
/Styles Bridges of New Hamp
shire, who have urged cut* of
three billion dollars or more,
sat silent as Johnson told his
colleagues "confusion" had hit
a nevr peak.
Earlier Knowland, the Senate
Republican leader, had told re
porters he didn’t regard Adams’
statements as indicating there
was any “basic change in White
House policy on the budget.”
Johnson suggested, however,
that perhaps Adams was “fore
casting the shape of the Presi
dent’s speech tomorrow night.”
“A review of this revolving
door philosophy of budget mak
ing indicates clearly why the
American people have been so
completely bewildered by the de
velopments,” Johnson told the
Senate.
Britain Says Russia Has

LONDON, May 13 (>P) — The

and international economic prob
lems.
Problem to Gel Worse
It said this country’s budget
problem is going to get worse be
fore it gets better. “The evidence
suggests,” it said, “that the ris
ing trend of federal expenditures
will not be .halted in fiscal 1958,
and that next year we are likely
to be faced with a budget that
will exhaust another year’s
growth of tax receipts.”
It asked Congress to thoroughly
study the present tax law, with
“the advice and assistance of a
special advisory tax commission
recruited from among representa
tives of business, labor, agricul
ture- and consumer groups, with
ample staff and time to explore
all of the major problems.”
One of the things that badly
needs overhauling, the committee
said, is the individual income tax,
particularly in the higher brack
ets.

U.S. Pushes
Russia To
Lift Secrecy
WASHINGTON, May 13 </P>— i
The United States prodded Russia)
again today to lift the veil of se-l
crecy which bars 30 per cent of|
!the Soviet Union from travel by:
! foreigners. j
] The gesture was made in a for-!
]mal note of protest handed the
[Soviet Foreign Ministry in Mos
cow by the U.S. Embassy there.
Th note complained that “road
blocks and other forms of police
action” interfered with travel by
Americans in areas officially
stamped as open by the Soviet
government.
Russian Blocks Up
Since last July 1, the U.S. note
said, American officials in Russia
have been blocked in open zones
on more than 36 occasions.
The note said this was done by
declaring open areas temporarily
closed, by denying travel facili
ties or restricting auto travel to a
particular route or by other
means. ' '
The note contrasted this treat
ment with what the United States
has been doing toward Russians in
America.
Closed Bui Twice
It said that only twice have
open areas in the United States,
been temporarily closed since last!
July 1. No curbs on travel facili-;
ties and no special auto routings;
have been imposed in the United)
States, it said. !
About 400 Russians live in the'
United States. i
U.S. Rejects
Japcin'sßequest
WASHINGTON, May 13 UP) —j
The United States today politely;
but firmly rejected Japan’s re-1
quest that it call off atomic tests!
scheduled in Nevada this month.!
The rejection was made m a!
formal note handed at the State
Department to Takesc Shimoda,!
acting chief of the Japanese Em-!
bassy in Washington. i
The note, signed by Secretary
of State Dulies, expressed sym
pathy for Japan's fears that con
tinued nuclear tests may harm
humanity by raising the world’s
radiation level.
The Japanese have asked the
United States, Britain and Russia
to suspend all nuclear tests.
The American note blamed Rus
sia for having “obstructed prog
ress toward control of the nuclear
threat and the ending of nuclear
weapons tests.”
