Economy Advocates
Urged by0'Conor 10
Unite on Budget Cut
Senator Says Large Part
Of Tax Increase Then
Could Be Avoided
By Cecil HolIond

Senator O'Connor. Democrat of
Maryland. said yesterday he will
start q movement for all con-
gressional economy advocates to
agree on budget figure and
unite in their efforts to reduce
the need for new taxes.
He declared that a substantial
part of President Truman's pro-
posed new $16.5 billion tax pro-
gram would be unnecessary "if
curtailment in spending is &C
complished." .
Senator O'Conor has proposed
a $5,288, 100000 reduction in the
Presidents proposed $71.6 billion
budget. Many non-defense items,
the Senator said. could be drasti-
cally reduced. :.
| Asks Determined Drive.
"As I see it," the Maryland
Democrat said, "the 1852 budget,
with its tremendous tax proposals,
is a direct challenge to all who
believe that business practices do
have a place in Government func-
tioning.
Every individual in the coun-
try would be squeezed to the ut
most to pay the taxes proposed
We must make a determined and
successful drive to stop reckless
dissipation of our national wealth
and resources, beginning right
now, with the budget currently
before the Congress
Senator O'Conor's statement
pointed up a spreading demand in
Congress to ignore President Tru-
mans request for a two-package
approach to the tax program.
The President has recommend
ed an immediate $40 billion in
crease in individual, corporation
and excise taxes, with an addi-
/ tional $65 billion in revenue to be
provided later to balance the rec
ord peacetime budget of $71.e

starting next July /.

Senator Wiley of Wisconsin
high-ranking Republican member

opposition to sending troops te
Europe without Congressional
sanction. He questioned the right
of Congress to say how the Ma

that he can, with our aid, build
up a European fighting force

than with what he called "timid
men suddenly become military
strategists."
Hartman Issues Warning.
w. AvereIl Hartman, special
assistant to President Truman,
told the World Affairs Council of
Philadelphia:
Those who advocate concen-
trating our energies exclusively

Mr.. Hartman added that amy

Senator Taft's new criticism OF
President Truman came in a
speech at Lincoln Day Dinner
