Budget Cut Must Be Now or Never Declared in Senate Debate
Senator Ferguson demanded immediate thrift in a Senate address urging a six billion dollar budget cut from President Truman's 37.5 billion plan. He argued wasteful spending costs Americans more to be governed than to eat, as other leaders weighed a four and a half billion cut and military allocations faced protections.
