u. 5. Chamber Lists
Specific Budget Cuts
10 Save S14.4 Billion

| A $14.4 billion budget cut has
tbeen urged by the United States
Chamber of Commerce.
The chamber said it is submit
ting specific proposals to Congress
to bring spending down to esti-
mated Federal revenues Of $71 bill
lion, from President Truman's re-
lqueSted 1854 billion for the next
fiscal year.
Among the slashes advocated
we're:
Elimination Of proposed new
Legislation for economic controls
and to enlarge Defense Produc-
ton Act operations. $475 million.
Postponement of several long
range. non-defense projects, $225
million.
Agriculture Cut.
Cuts in conservation and agri-
cultural development programs,
$332 million. These would in
clude cuts in rural electrifica-
tion, financing farm ownership
and suspension Of Federal crop
insurance. This would still leave
agricultural expenditures about 76
per cent higher than last year.
Deletion of $500 million for ex-
lpansion of Federal civilian defense
construction grants, leaving this
function to the States, and cut
backs in defense housing. discon-
tinuation of public housing and
curtailment of urban redevelop-
ment, $5.42 million.
Cuts in proposed expenditures
for Federal Intervention in State
Education and for subsidies to coll
Ilege students" 1855 million.
Reduction Of public assistance
grants, 'in a time of high pros
perty and expanding social Sc
curity coverage. to 1948 levels as
Ia first step in returning this func-
Ition to the States where it be-
longs" $3.50 million.
Would Defer Hospitals.
Cuts in veterans programs by
lpostponing construction of three
hospitals, as we'll as economies
suggested by the Hoover Commits
sion to improve efficiency Of in
surance and other operations, $135
million.
Holding of general Government
operations and reserve for con-
tingencies to the 1852 level, $225
million, Government agencies
would absorb an aggregate 10 pei
cent cut"
The chamber said the taxpayers
can be saved $5.844, 900, 900 in the
field of international security and
foreign relations. OF the $10.5
billion of foreign aid, 1888 billion
would be spent from funds pro-
vided by new legislation not yet
approved by Congress" it said. II
this item was held to IS billion
substantially more spending than
last year would still be allowed, IL
was SAID.
Saving on Military.
For military services, $5.531 bill
lion can be saved, the chamber
said.
ut is proposed that the military
services themselves could withhold
spending in this amount without
reducing the level of national de-
fense in any way" the chamber
declared. Investigations of con-
Igressional committees have indi-
Gated that inefficient procurement
practices by all services involve a
waste of IS billions or more, which
could be avoided.
Tightening up on excessive ex-
Ipenditures for operations and
maintenance categories, for land
acquisition and construction could
probably save from half a billion
to a billion dollars a year."

Minnesota has gone Democratic
in presidential elections for the
last 20 years, but some independ-
ent observers class it as doubtful
this year. President Truman car
ried the State by 209,300 votes
four years ago.
Big Write In Vote.
Minnesota, however, was the
State where Gen. Eisenhower got
such a big write-in vote in the
Republican primary last spring
that it gave his bid for the nomi-
nation a tremendous boost.
Mr.. Stassen did not share the
view of those who think the elec-
ton will be so close as to hinge
on the outcome in New York and
California.
Meanwhile, Gen. Eisenhower
started out at noon for the second
day of his drive for votes here in
Democratic New York City. His
schedule this afternoon will take
him to Yonkers, White Plains.
New Rochelle and the Bronx.
He will speak at 8:15 o'clock
