Jan. l2 —(A.P) - President Truman today sent Congress a. $39.669.000.000 budget. a. record-smasher for peacetime, and Republican lawmakers rear-v- ed swiftly with cries of “extrava- gance." In asking this sum to run the government for the fiscal year be- ginning July 1, Mr. 'I‘ruman said it is needed to head off "total- itarian rule" in Western Europe; to maintain "a modern and bal- anced armed force" for America's security; and to strengthen "the foundations of our democracy and the happiness of our people." He also forecast record-break- ing surpluses if congress does not cut the over-all tax bill of the United States. Senator Robert Taft (Rep. O.) called the President's spending recommendations .“too high.” Sen- ator Homer Ferguson (Reps Mich.) accused the President of "bad faith." Democrats largely went along with the President. calling the estimate reasonable at a. time when. as Senator Tom Connaly (Dem, Tex.) put it, "the world is in a. state of chaos." The total is about $2,000,000.- 000 larger than what the Presi- dent asked a year ago for the fiscal year ending this J1me 30.

At the re- quest of many citizens frrm all ‘wards, who appear satlsfiedwlth the work of the Council and him- self, he had decided to offer again. He thanked the Council for their help during his illness last sum- mer. particularly Councillor Wedgr who acted as Mayor in addition to his regular duties. After the meeting Councillor Henry Wedge, T. D. Morrison, and Lloyd Gorrill, whose terms also ex- ,pire this year. all stated that they plan to offer again.

"until we have met our interna- tional responsibilities and can see the way clear to a peaceful and prosperous world." Prudence demands it. he said. While Republican leaders said they were astounded at the size of the budget-and said it would be cut-there was little criticism of the 311.000.000.000 for national defence. Calling this figure “realistic”, chairman styles Bridges (Help. N.H.) of the Senate Appropria- tions Committee nevertheless said of Truman's over-all proposals that he has "played politics."
