 Taft said he will ask leaders from both sides of the Capitol to get together on a compromise of the economy pledge which has been hanging fer since March 3.
 The Senate voted GA to 20 then to whack $4,5OO,OOO,OOO off Pres ident Truman's proposed $37 7,500,- 000,000 outlay for the year begin ming July 1. It tackled on provi- sion earmarking O,000,O0O of any surplus for debt reduction.
 The House earlier had pledged a $6,000,000,O0O spending cut with out any specific debt payment promises.
 While the Ohio Senator was si- lent on the particular point, he ob- viosly hopes to be armed with an agreement on spending cuts be- fore the Republicans undergo a Democratic barrage - intensified by pot shots from some COP members-on the tax reduction bill.
