Up Taxes Or Cut Services, Hall Says
LAWRENCE, KANSAS
He said the budget session has "a clear choice." It either can come up with extra money to finance expansion programs desired by state colleges, mental institutions and other state agencies, he said, or it can call for cutbacks so the state can live within its present tax income.
TOPEKA—(U.P.)—Asserting that he personally favors "progress in government." Gov. Fred Hall said today the 1956 Kansas Legislature must either raise additional revenue or vote retrenchment in state services.
The council based its prediction on the difference between the expansion program requested by the school, hospitals and other state agencies and a projection of probable income from current taxes.
Gov. Hall, queried at a press conference about his budget recommendations still in the making, said the recent Legislative Council prediction of a twenty million dollar state deficit for fiscal 1957 was "already out of date."
The governor said he will have his exact budget figures ready about December 15. He then will present "work sheets" to the Senate and House Ways and Means Committees
Gov. Hall expressed doubt that Budget Director James Bibb will have the budget ready December 15 "in a neat little package for public consumption." Instead, he said "work sheet" figures will be presented, with the entire budget itself to be printed before the full Legislature convenes.
for their use prior to the January opening of the 30-day budget session. the first in Kansas history.
Gov. Hall said the state probably can take care of about eight million dollars in state aid for high schools and state programs as they currently operate with "something between five million dollars and six million dollars in ad valorem taxes."
This, said the governor, can come from increasing existing taxes or voting in new sources of tax money
At this time he is undecided whether he will make specific recommendations on where to get the revenue in his budget message to the Legislature.
Nationalist China Bars UN Memberships
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.—(U.P.)—Nationalist China today threw the United Nations into an uproar that threatened to block the admission of any new UN members this year.
The Security Council scheduled a meeting tomorrow to consider the controversial membership issue. But diplomatic observers said there was little chance of any country getting in this year unless the major powers devise a new formula.
The crisis deepened when dispatches from Taipei said Generalisalimi Chiang Kai-Shek "politely but firmly" rejected a new appeal by U.S. ambassador Karl Rankin not to veto an assembly-approved list of 18 nations that would include Communist Outer Morgolia.
The Security Council was confronted at the outset by a procedural debate sparked by Nationalist China's surprise move in nominating 13 non-Communist countries for UN membership.
The Nationalist move came shortly after the General Assembly approved by a vote of 52-2 a resolution urging the Security Council to admit 18 countries, including five Communist satellites.
