So Billion Cut

Senator Knowland, Republic
can minority leader. said today
he believes Congress will cut So
billion from the Presidents $7i,8
billion budget.
He added that he believed
There would be no restoration Of
lcuts made by the House.
The Californian addressed a
United States Chamber of Com
merce breakfast at the Hotel
Statler which drew almost 1000
persons. His So billion cut pre-
diction was greeted with ap-
lplause.
Answering questions from the
businessmen he said he believed
a tax cut would come in the next
session Of Congress. He said it
should not come before a cut in
spending and not before a So
billion to So billion reduction in
the debt.
Senator Knowland said he be-
lieves there can be a reduction
in military expenses and there
is room for economy without
sacrificing security. The mus
Gle" should not be trimmed, he
added.
FavOrs Local Control
He was asked about Federal
aid for school construction. He
replied that he personally be-
lieves school problems should be
left in local hands.
Il have never seen the Fed
Ieral Government place money in
a project without wanting to
exercise control" he said.
In answer to other questions
he said:
He believes there will be leg
islation concerning union well
fare funds and the protection
OF union dues so the union
member will know "his dues are
properly spent and properly ac-
counted for"
Sees Danger to Economy
He believes adjournment of
Congress will come about Aug
ust /.
We are at the point where
high tax rates endanger the free
economy system.
He favors putting the postal
system on as near a self support
ing basis as possible.
There are good prospects for a
number of Hoover Commission
recommendations to be adopted.
Another of his statements
which drew applause was his
declaration that the longer he
has been in Washington the
stronger an advocate Of the
rights Of the States he has be-
come.
