# During the past week the domes
tic problems of President Eisenhow
er’s administration continued to grow
until it appears that some kind of
explosion is inevitable. This explos
ion may come about much sooner
Inan most observers expect.
• 1. Taxation. In his first White
House news conference President
Eisenhower said that the govern
ment can not afford to reduce taxes
or federal income until it has in
S'ght a spending program which
balances income and outgo.
In spite of this statement of pol
icy, which is supported by Senator
Robert Taft of Ohio, the House
Ways and Means Committee has ap
proved a policy of putting spending
tuts ahead of any reduction in taxes.
A tax cut must “precede, not fol
low” budget reductions, the commit
tee said in its policy report.
The House committee gave a num
ber of valid reasons for a cut in
taxation. In additon, GOP congress
men are remembering the promises
of the recent campaign. One of those
promises was a tax reduction as
soon as possible. The President
himself never made such a promise,
but other Republican candidates
pounded home at the theme.
The situation presents a possibil
ity that could split the administra
tion. If a tax reduction bill is pass
ed by congress, and there is a good
chance it might, will President Ei
senhower veto it when it reaches
his desk? He has not said, but he
did say he would not consent as
things now stand to any reduction
in government revenue without a
substitute which would bring in as
much.
# 2. Farm Prices. For several
months farmers have been pouring
their troubles over declining prices
into the ears of their congressmen.
.Since January 20 the congressmen
have been taking them to Secretary
of Agriculture Benson. Particularly
hard hit has been cattlemen.
The cattlemen have been urging
emergency action in the form of
loans to help stabilize the cattle
market Benson indicated he would
take no action. This caused concern,
fout farmers were really startled

when he said he regarded price sup
ports as “disaster insurance’’ and
opposed them when they resulted in
surpluses and subsidies.
Now, farm leaders in the House
have agreed to a four-point program
based principally on increased gov
ernment credit to livestock produc
ers. This is not in accord with Ben
son’s indicated policy.
And the problem of surpluses has
yet to be faced. Grain men estimate
Ihe nation’s pile of unsold wheat
from past crops may reach a tower
ing 58’5 million bushels by July 1.
This big build-up is the product of
hefty supplies and shrinking exports.
What’s to be done about it will be a
major administration problem.
In addition to other problems,
Mr. Benson has found himself under
fire from farm leaders to such an
tent he has tried to explain his
actions and defend his farm P r0 "
gram. This has brought up the spec
nation that perhaps the new Secre
tary of Agriculture is expendable.

senhower’s request for prompt ac
tion to extend social security bene
fits to millions of persons not now
covered has been side-tracked by
Republicans on the House Ways and
Means Committee. It is being de
layed by a survey that will take
months and which means there will
be no action this year. The serious
ness of the situation depends upon
developments within the next two
cr three weeks.
% 4. Taft-Hartley Act. Dispute has
developed among GOP senators ov
er the Taft-Hartley labor law’s con
troversial injunction provision. The
seriousness of this situation, too,
depends upon developments within
tne next few days.
