Budget Chief Points Out How
Tax Cut May Be Achieved In 1958
By VINCENT J. BURKE
/e8' Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON <CB)— President
fciscnhower's hudgr-t chief said
Monday there may be a big enough
federal surplus next year for .1
tax- cut' If the line is held on
spending.
Percival P. Brundage, director
of the budket, said the present
government spending level plus
an expanding economy should
show up next spring as a "poten-
tial surplus" of *5-16 billion for
the 1059 fiscal year which starts
Julv 1, J958.
"Now, whether you would want
to app)y that to a ta* cut or
whether you want to apply it to
debt retirement, I think, wopld
depend on the conditions of the
economy at that time," he said
m a copyrighted interview in U. S.
News & World Report.
Foresees Tax Cut
. At another point Brundage said
if federal spending can be neld to
between $70*72 billion "for a cou-
ple of years" the economy will
"r ve e&oygh bounce, enough re-
ceipts, to be able to have a tax
cut."
This is one of the first hints
given by the Eisenhower .admin-
istration as to when tax cuts may
be recommended.
Many members of Congress, in-
cluding some GOP leaders, are
urging a sharp cut in Mr. Kisen-
budget In hopes of an income t.-ix
cut this year.
But Brundage said there is no
way to slash spending as much
as $5-f 10 billion, as- called for by
some without "cutting programs."
He added that Mr. Eisenhower
"could cut the program but the
people certainly seem to ask for all
of them."

However the budget chief added

achieving "some disarmament and

years that would permit a "very
substantial" spending cut.

German Reunification Pressure
To Be Increased On Soviet Union
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Staff Correspondent
Pressure on Soviet Russia to
agree to the reunification of Ger-
many is likely to increase stead-
ily in the next few months.
West German Chancelooi Kon-
r.nd Adenauer has made the uni-
fication issue the No. 1 topic in
all discussions with foreign gov-
ernments.
He is reminding the Soviet gov-
ernment at every opportunity that
unification to him is an urgent
matter, and that relations between
Russia and West Germany never
can be normal until West and East
Germany are joined.
Unification Studied
At the r.ime time, Adenauer has
started to seek the support of the
United States and other allied gov-
ernments in new demands that
the 12-year aeperation of the two
parts of Germany be ended.
Considerable emphasis was put
on reunification in the talks in
Washington last week between
Westerin German Foreign Minister
Heinrich Von Brentano and Secre-
tary of State John Foster Dulles.
A committee of Amierir.in, Ger-
man, British and French experts
started a study of the unification
problem in Washington last week.

This committee was organized

Dulles talks. A joint communique

Searching For Bodies Of Tourists
ACAPULCO, Mexico IttR) —
Apolonio Castillo, Mexican Olym-
pic swimming champion was
drowned Monday while searching
Acapulco harbor for the bodies of
two murdered New York tourists.
Castillo, :i2, w.'is one of several
frogmen looking for the bodies of
attorney Joseph Michel, 70, and
Mrs. lulith ilallock, (ill, who were
killed and tossed into the harbor
by a Mexican travel agent and his
illiterate lvindy man.
Castillo, who represented Mexi-
co in the Olympics • was
wearing an aqualung when he dis-
abpeaml. It was not known if his
oxygen failed.
Luis Fenton, S3, a hotel tourist
•igency owner,, and Daniel Rms ad-
mitted Sunday they be.it Miehel
and Mrs. Ilallock to death with a
baseball bat on Feb. 20, after rob-
bing them of $80,000 worth of
jewelry and ,-ibout $ib0 in cash.
The victims' bodies, bound in
chains, were tossed from a glass-
bottomed boat. *

ing a simple br.at ride," master-

It was announced 111 Bonn, the
West German capital, last Friday
that German ambassadors to the
West European governments have
been summoned to meet in West
Berlin on April 24.
There is no doubt that unifica-
tion will be the chief topic for
discussion at this meeting.
Adenauer To See Ike
Also, the fact that the meeting
is to be held in Berlin, instead of
Bonn, is a flesh reminder to the
Russians that Adelauer looks for-
ward to the day when Berlin again
will be the all-German capital.
It is indicated that Adenauer
will press the unification question
when foreign ministers of mem-
bers of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization meet in Bonn on May
2.
Immediately after that, Ade-
nauer is expected to visit Presi-
dent Eisenhower in Washington.

in a decision to make a demantj
on the soviet government that i,
