But President Eisenhower's budget message is not likely to contain any specific recommendation for a tax cut. Administration policy, hammered out and approved last week at Gettysburg and Camp David, calls for caution. The Administration will wait to take another look at the situation after April 15, when 1955 tax returns will be in and the first quarter of 1956 business experience can be examined...

Batlle Berres' itinerary calls for a state dinner with Vice President and Mrs. Nixon in Washington, a ticker-tape parade in Manhattan, and a visit with President Eisenhower at Gettysburg. After quick looks at wintry Boston and Chicago, his party will drop in on sunnier Miami. When he returns to Uruguay, Batlle Berres will have less than three months more to serve as President. Then, under the country's Swiss-style, national-council form of government, the No. 2 man in last year's election, Alberto Zubiria, will take over the chairmanship (i.e., the presidency...
