TO OPPOSE
GOVT. GOING
|. INTO RED
10 Bear Down
on President Truman,
His Spending Plan
BY JACK BELL

WASHINGTON, July 18.--lR--
Republicans intend to bear down
on President Truman's approval of
operating the government in the
red, Senator Brewster (R-Me) said
today.
Brewster who heads the Repub-
lican Senatorial Campaign commit
tee, viewed it as possibly a major
issue in 1850 elections.
The voters aren't going to be al
lowed to forget, he told reporter,
that Mr.. Truman spoke out against
cutting spending and in support of
a program that temporarily would
leave the government pay out more
than it takes in.
Mr.. Truman said in his economic
report last week that I'VE cannot
expect a budget surplus in a de-
Ginning national economy He also
said a big cut in government pro-
grams would hold back recovery
1.-The Administration has nothing
hut the old pump printing answer
to any recession in business was
Brewster's sum-up. The country
tried that in the 30's and after
$4,000, 100000 had been spent there
still were 100000 unemployed,
THE Republicans are going to
fight to cut expenses and keep the
budget balanced. We think ma
jority of the voters believe that is
ths sensible thing to do"
