Morse Raps Truman Budget CHICAGO ( The President's proposed 85 billion dollar budget is inflationary, unnecessary and impractical, according to Sen. Morse (R.-Ore.). He said in a speech before the Chicago Council on Foreign Re lations that Congress "should not approve a budget beyond 70 bil lions. The proposed budget is impra tical ior a number of reasons he said: "First, it cannot be spent eco nomically during the next year. It will in and of itself produce waste and inefficiency in the adminis tration. "Second, it is not needed as of now. Sure, I know that if the goods were available we could use 85 billion dollars worth, but they are not available. The attempt to spend that much money will only result in contracting for a lot of goods and services that will not serve any vitally needed purpose. Let us spend less but produce the most vitally needed goods such as planes and new atomic weapons. "Third, an 85 billion dollar budg et will increase inflation pres sures." On foreign spending, Morse urged a "point four program based upon a line of credit loaning policy."
