Renewal program was apparent tc

Then the Republicans have new
game-budget-busting. Last year it
was coloring books and Kennedy imi-
tations now it is budget-busting
Cong. Charles Halleck waves a brown
envelope and says this is what the
Republicans are going to do to the
budget-chop it by SIS billion! What
plans for the Surgery are inside the
envelope may never be viewed by
human eyes.
The Administrator has given Con-
gress the highest peacetime budget
to be spent for the greatest number
of Americans that history has known,
an increase of $17.3 billions of which
73%-$12.5 billions will be spent on
defense and space. Congress will prob
ably increase the latter by 1928 bill
lions. Halleck's brown envelope will
wave forever unopened. We will never
know where SIS billion was supposed
to be cut. .ra ,-...1 .~.~e..,.
Where would the Republicans cut?
You know. No more Forest Service
research in Meagher county, or in
the Sidney laboratory. $4,000 jobs
cut out of the Veterans Administra-
ton. Shut down half of the hospitals.
Seven new hospitals would be post
poned. No land improvements. Knock
agriculture in the head. Cut educa-
ton. Cut defense.
Borden go home. Metcalf was
shocked at the great liberal State of
Montana joining the John Birch So
ciety. 1t reminded him of King Saul
in ancient Israel when he became old
and fearful and turned to the witch
to solve his problems and made every
with the Philistines and lost. The
fearful and bewildered, seek
only the witch of easy answers. Met
calf remains proud of the President
and proud of the government.
Where was Renne when issued the

Seated across from me was the
eason Attorney General Forrest An
lerson put up such a stout defense
or Morton Borden, the history pro-
essor who challenged the free en-
erprise mythology-the AG's vivaci-
us daughter, a former student of
'orden's. Borden had given her bru-
ette head some tools to work with
nd now after trip to Europe she
years an engagement ring and will

When questioned about Knowles
Jam, Metcalf became prophetic about
ne promised early hearing in the
louise, and, tongue-in-cheek coun-
eled his audience to "Pray for Mon
MA Power.
There will be modest tax cuts this
ear. he forecast. In order to do this
e must follow the example of Ger
any and France who paid not the
ightest attention to budget deficits,
hen they offered tax cuts to stimu-
tie economic activity. The budget
lrpluses then began paying back the
ebits.
