Prank Carlson „'said today that federal spending can be cut between $8,000,000,000 and $13,000,000,000 making way for a balanced budget and reduced .taxes this year. The Kansas Republican, one of President Eisenhower’s closest ad visers during the election campaign, made the claim in a speech pre pared for delivery in the Senate. His estimate ran coffnter of gloomy reports this week that top administration officials now see little hope of balancing the budget In fiscal 1964, let alone this year.
