Local Governments
Warned 10 Expect
Less Federal Aid
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, April 1.-State and
local government officials should
be prepared for less financial
aid from the Federal govern
ment, a conference of invest
ment bankers was told today.
Otherwise "a standstill policy
could later produce some red
faced officials" said Joseph F..
Clark, executive director of the
Municipal Finance Oficers' AS
ISOLATION of the United States
and Canada.
I'm recent speeches of respon-
sible Federal officials one may
detect a move toward change
in policy away from Federal
financial aids to States, local
governments and their subdivi-
sions," Mr.. Clark said.
'"The significance of change
in policy should not be under
rated by local officials especially
because any change will mean
their communities will have to
be prepared to finance some
services which the Great White
Father in Washington has beer
financing or aiding in financing
for two decades or longer.
"The prudent local official will
be prepared to meet changes as
they may occur-if they do. A
standstill policy could later pro-
duce some red-faced officials"
he said.
