Senator Insists
, Federal Expense
Can Be Slashed
WASHINGTON API Sen.
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.
Carlson said firmly, however, that
government spending has slumped
m In the first month* of 1953 With
this, plus the ruthless drive on
waste. he said the government
should, operate on far less than
former President Truman predicted
for this fiscal year anH next.
ASKS CEILING
Carlson called for a 366.000 000.000
ceiling on spending for the cur
rent fiscal year, ending June 30.
■ and for deeper budget cuts In the
following 12 months.
These figures compare with M-.
• Truman’s estimates of *74 600 000 000
for the current year and $78,600 000,-
000 for next year. _
Carlson a member of the Senate
Finance Committee said with this
kind of program “it Is my hope
that we can b-ing a progress've
tax reduction Into effect in 1953.”
Carlson told the Senate that fed
eral speendlng was at an annual
rate of $73,000,000,000 during the
first six months of the 1953 fiscal
year and then dropped to S6B 800.-
. 000.000 in January. Mr. Eisenhower
S was inaugurated Jan 20.
HAVE MANDATE
"We have a mandate to ignore
the astronomical estimate of ex
penditures bequeathed uq by the
former administration. We can dis
charge that mandate and start lift
ing, the excess burden of taxation
froh the backs of the American
people!! we have the determination.
L fA spending celling for the cur-
I> thing that in )iicaV?9s4
1* the answer,” ' .
The administration’s problem’
however is to trim expends and
at the same time find the cash
to finance bold new diplomatic and
military moves In the cold war for
which the Truman administration
*did not provide ih Its budget.
