Taft Gaapro
mise With House That
Will Place Reduction
At 5 Billions; Action on
Amendments Awaited
Washington, Feb. 26.?Tacitly 1
jecting any major oats for the Army
and Navy, the Senate voted 51 to ?
today to?alaah 94J00#?fi00 c
President Truman's *37,600,000,?00
budget for the year starting July 3.
This compares with a *6,000,000,
000 cot already approved by the
House. The Dowse action had led to
cries that the Army and Navy might
be crippled at a critical Juncture in
world affairs.
Chairman Knutson (R-Minn) of the
House Ways and Means Committee
told a reporter after the Senate vote
that the cutback of only *4,500,000,
000 would throw overboard his bill
for a 20 per cent across-the-board
ducing the figure to 10 per cent.
He quickly added, however, that
"the House will never accept" the
Senate figure.
Still pending in the Senate as
Knutson spoke was a proposal by
Senator Know land (R-Gaftf) to xe*y
quire that *3,000,000,000 of any gov
ernment surplus be applied to the
national debt.
Senator Taft (R-Ohio) proposed
to cut Knowland's debt retirement
figure to *1,000,000,900, leaving room
for a *3,500,000,000 tax reduction if
revenues come in as expected.
Senator Green (R.R I) went the
other way with a proposed amend
ment to apply all of the budget sav
ing to the debt
An those proposals remained to
be voted on when the Senate quit
for the night.
Taft Sees
As for the ceiling1 on spending,
Chairman Taft (R-OMo) of the
Senate Republican Policy Commit
tee predicted to a reporter that a
Senate-House , compromising com
mittee eventually^ will arrive at a
figure of $6,000,000,000 or slightly
more as the overall pledge for reduc
ing expenditures.
This would put Congress on record
as promising?if it doesn't change
ittf mind when individual appropria
tions bills are voted?to hold govern
ment costs to about 86 per cent of
the level Mr. Truman previously had
described as bedrock.
The Senate's vote for the $4,600,
000^000 cut represented a victory for
the aimed sm rices, which had con
tended that the larger savings prom
ised" by fiie House would cut so deep
make them ineffective for national
defense and to support American for
eign policy.
