Eisenhower urges preserving revenue while backing limited changes. Party divisions focus on excise tax reductions and future revenue impact.

Hints U S May Have New Bomb
Rep. W Sterling Cole a congressional atomic specialist hinted the United States may possess more potent hydrogen weapons than a device that created a mile wide and 175 feet deep crater in the Pacific Ocean. He spoke about a 1952 thermonuclear test in the Marshall Islands and said the crater at Eniwetok Atoll was a massive result of the test. President Eisenhower called that test a step in the hydrogen program. The luncheon remarks described the test as obliterating the target lands and forming a large ocean floor crater.

Washington AP report on a split view of 1954 economic prospects. The U S Chamber of Commerce, optimistic about a return to higher momentum after Korea, says the inevitable readjustment has been easier than expected and 1954 will be good though not as buoyant as 1953. CIO President Walter Reuther calls such optimism dangerous and unrealistic. He cites lack of pickup in auto industry as evidence, noting Chevrolet has reduced to a four day workweek.
