Eisenhower’s assertion came de spite a finding by a foreign rela tions subcommittee that Western Europe is lagging in building up its ground defense. It said, however, the Western European nations have promised Eisenhower a 75 per cent Korean TfOOp Needs increase in their North Atlantic 1 / r Pact army divisions by next year. In a formal report on its 14-day visit to Europe in July, the nine- member subcommittee said that Eisenhower, the North Atlantic . Treaty Organization commander, National Guard (Dixie) told them, as of today: “The material, Intellectual, spir itual, technical and professional resources available to the free world are so overwhelming as compared to what the Iron Cur tain and satellite countries have, that it is almost ridiculous for us to be talking in terms of fright and hysteria, which we often do.” Eisenhower told the visiting sen ators that the job of the free na tions is “to convince every nation Doubly Decimating' 31st Dixie Division Fort Jackson, Aug. 12.—The 31st Division now in training here is being “doubly decimated” of its trained personnel for Korean replacements, its commanding general said today. “We naturally are terribly disap pointed, but all of us in the divis ion are determined that our strong training program will overcome our losses and that we’ll come out of this situation in good shape,” Maj. Gen. A. C. Paxton, said. A time lag between the shipping out °ffi cers an d men to Korea, participating, every man in that! an d ^eir replacement in the div’is left the division shorthanded. Slightly more than 4.000 of the division’s 19,000 normal strength has been shipped out, including about 1,500 of the 31st’s original Alabama - Mississippi National Guardsmen, the Associated Press learned. “The rotation system is the rea son,” Paxton said, declining to re lease figures, “but all other Na tional Guard 1 divisions in training elsewhere in the country are being similarly hit. We’re not the only division affected.” He expressed faith that the di vision’s morale was strong enough to withstand the loss of personnel, but disappointment, at the reversal of high army assurances that the division would be left intact. In some instances, the Associated Press learned Unoficially. as many as two-thirds of the officers of a unit of the division have been shipped out. Further, key officer and non-eom specialists have been nation x x x that we are approach ing this thing from the standpoint of enlightened self-interest.” The subcommittee, reporting to the Senate Foreign Relations and Armed Services Committee, which start revising the $8,500,000,000 for eign aid bill tomorrow, said further in its report: 1. Eisenhower’s headquarters is dissatisfied with the fact that while the U. S. has doubled its round since the outbreak of the Korean war. Western Europe has increased them only 20 per cent. 2. Spain and Yugoslavia should be brought into the "master plans” for defense of Europe from Com munist aggression. It estimated military and economic aid needs of •Spain at $400,000,000. 3. Lt. Gen. Aired Greunther, Eisenhower’s deputy, testified that once the European military buildup is accomplished it will be possible “to begin the gradual withdrawal of United States ground forces." 4. There is dissatisfaction among U. S. Field representatives at the “multiheaded command” in Wash-| ington over political, economic and military operations.

Rising Prices, Deficits Predicted By Economic Experts To Congress Washington, — The congressional economic committee has * been w’amed by its staff experts to ex pect rising prices, more inflation and three years of federal deficits. The staff report was made public today by Senator O’Mahoney (D- Wyo), chairman of the senate- house group. He called the com mittee into closed door session “to look otfer the situation as it now exists and see the things that must be done by congress.” Main theme of the report ap peared to be arguments in support of: 1. A considerable higher increase in federal taxes than the $7,200.-j 000,000 a year boost voted by the house. Senators have been talking of holding the increase to five or six billions. 2. Stiffer government controls over prices, wages and credit. O’Mahoney, in advance of the, committee discussion, told report ers: “My personal opinion is that the American economy ran meet the problems providing the problem is clearly understood by the congress: and the country.” O’Mahoney noted that for the fiscal year which ended last June 30, the govemmnet showed a sur-, plus of $3,500,000,000 despite de- A deficit of three to five billion dollars was predicted for the cur rent fiscal year; 10 to 12 billions for the year following, and about 5 billions for fiscal 1954.

But lie said there would have been n6 bodk surplus if all defense goods orders had been delivered on time and paid for. Both O’Mahoney and his staff experts stressed the fact that a cease-fire agreement or even peace in Korea would not bring relief for the next five to ten years. The staff report said “prices will rise” as more of the national pro duction is diverted late this year; into defense goods. It suggested a $10,000,000,000 tax increase immediately, largely from groups in the $3,000-$ 10,000 income brackets. Templeton Reunion Sunday, August 19 Dr. Felder Smith Optometrist Laurens, S.

Proposed Excise Tax Will Force Prices of Cars Up If congress enacts into law the proposed increase in excise taxes on new automobiles, passed by the house last month, the price of au tomobiles will rise about $50, L. W. Cooper, local area chairman for the National Automobile Dealers asso ciation, said yesterday. The present discrimination is made far greater by the house bill which would raise manufacturers’ excise taxes on new automobiles from 7 to 10 per cent. The bill low ers non-automotive tax levies and raises automobile levies,” he point ed out. “In order to raise treasury reve nues by $412 million car and truck owners would be taxed an addi tional $502 million more annually than under current rates. Automo bile dealers do not object to the reduction in manufacturers’ excis es on non-automotive products but dealers do object to increasing the obviously discriminatory excises which will be paid by car buyers aijd owners,” he added.
