BROWN .< Onrmi, tlk OWU OlttrVe While President Elsenhower Is not expected to mak0 public his suggested legislative program for the new session of Congress until he delivers his State of the Union message to the Joint session of the House and Senate on January 7th. whispers from those attending the recent White House conference on legislation Indicate his proposals will be more “ liberal" than ever submitted by any previous Republican President, An unusual number of controversial laws and Government programs autO' matlcally expire this coming year, so the second session of th© 83rd Congress — In an election year — will be faced with many troublesome problems and Issues. • * • It Is being reported that Defense Department spending for the ncw fiscal year, which begins July 1st next, will bo out by approximately 85 billion, and doughty John Tabor, Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, vows he'll cut other public spending during the coming year by ah additional 85 billion — mostly of foreign aid. Such spending cuts may be sufficient to permit a balanced budget If no further reduc. tlon In taxes, in addition to those becoming effective January 1st, Is voted. During the coming session, it is expected Congress wjU be requested to increase Social Security coverage to Include about ten million addl tlonal Americans, including farmers, members of the various professions, and others; and to up Social Security benefits by 810 to $18 a month, making the minimum monthly payment 835, with present old-age pen­ sioners Included. The taxable wage baso for Social Security purposes would be Increased from the present 825 to 835; and retired workers per­ mitted to earn more than the present 875 a month before losing benefit Tlghtu ft ft ft ft ft • Beginning with next Friday — January 1st — the so-called excess profits of corporations wjll no longer bo subject to special tax, and In dividual Income taxpayers will receive an average reduction of 11 percent In Federal tax©s during 1054. However, beginning with th« New Year, both employers ar.d employees will each hav® to pay 2 percent Social Security tax on the first 83800 of annual pay, instead of the 1% Percent rat® which has b©«n in effect for several years, • • ♦ • Members of th© House and Senate have been flocking back to Wash Ington during the past week in preparation for th© opening of the second session of the 83rd Congress on January 8th Republicans arid Democrats alike report an Undercurrent of dissatisfaction with natjona affairs back home Many are complaining about high living costa and high taxes In the rural areas, there Is considerable grumbltiRpover low farm prices and high farm costs. Many industrial workers complain of tower take-home pay and growing unemployment. Deficit financing and con­ tinued high Government spending are also points of critosm. Thar# Is much praise for the ending of the fjghtlng In Korea and the Presidents atomic power pooling proposal. Despite publicitp to the contrary, the American feels there have been too many Reds in Government, and sup­ port the efforts to dean them out. Party workers are unhappy over patronage matters. So go the reports of the legislator returnees • ft ft ft ft 'ft ft' ft Most economics are still predicting a mild economic readjustment for 1054, with a decline in national production and buijnesg activity of around 10 percent, with he number of unemployed up to wo or three million. Over-all farm production Is expected to drop by 5 percent In 1054 and farm prices decline another 3 to 5 percent.
