message yesterday.
Senator Taft, Republican, OF
Ohio. member Of the Joint Eco

Presidents request for more lib
eral loan terms with a proposal to
end most Government lending.
"It seems to me-" he said, "that
the Government ought to be get
ting out of the lending business,
except in the agricultural field,
where the policy has been long
established"
Senator George. Democrat, of
Georgia remarked that while he
is in agreement with the Presi-
dents detectives, he cannot see
any present need for credit con-
trolls.
While there was opposition to
such specific proposals, there was
general acceptance of the national
goals set forth by Mr.. Truman
in the economic message.
The President said the Nation
should aim at 1000 900 jobs this
year as compared with an aver
age of 8,700, 900 in 1949; "a, ,000,-
900 jobs in five years; and even
tual complete elimination of pow

Nobody is going to quarrel with
targets like that" one Repub-

whether we can afford the pro-
grams the President wants is
quite another thing"
