SEN. ROBINSON
 MAKES APPEAL

Washington, April 20- (UP) - Majority Leader Joseph T. Robin soon appealed to the senate today to adhere strictly to President Roose- velt's economy proposals to avoid danger of excessive spending that would impair government credit.
 Arising immediately after reading of the presidents budget message, Robinson urged the senate to act slowly and with extreme caution on pending prosopals for new expendi- lures such as farm tenancy and edu- cational aid to states.
 It was understood that the admin istration leaders will make a deter mined effort to reduce the proposed $lOO,OOO O00 appropriation in the bending Harrison Black education bill to $25, 100000.
 We cannot continue spending beyond the government income for ever without impairing government credit" Robinson said. He pointed out that there would be efforts both to increase and to reduce the pro- posed $1,50O,0OO,0O0 relief recommen- dation.
