Foreign Aid Main Target Of Demands WASHINGTON, Jan. 13 UP) Republicans set out today lo chop soma $.1,000,000,000 out of President Truman's S39.6a.(IOO.OOO budget for the year starting July 1. The foreign aid program appeared likely to be the main target of the money saving drive. A 15,000.000,000 slush waa the tentative goal set by Chairman Ta ber (R.-N.V.) pending a meeting of the senate-house budget committee to go over details of the unpre cedented peaeeUme spending esti mate Mr. Truman sent to eongrese yesterday. While Taber declined to specify just what Items most likely would be singled out for cuts, he noted that the president's estimate of actual foreign aid outlays during the year and his requests for fundi to finance other projects not yet authorized by law run well over 5,000,000.000. UMT Issue For example, he said, the presi dent wants half a billion dollani to finance universal military training legislation, which congress has not enacted and which some of its top leaders expect It to put aside for at least another year. Taber pointed out that while tha Marshall plan for European recov ery contemplates a $6,800,000,000 ap propriation for the first 15 montha the budget says only $4,000,noo,oa of that sum will be spent during the 12 months starting July L The New Yorker termed even that "too much." And, Taber added, "the president' proposals for huge outlays for edu cation, social welfare and housing, just to menUon a few, seem way out of line even if congress does auth orize these programs." Whatever Uie decision on his $S, 000.000,000 goal, Taber said ho wouldn't be satisfied with anything: less" than a cut of 4 00,000,000.
