Taber Pushes Balance Budget This Year With Cuts
Rep. Taber of New York vows to balance the federal budget this year by cutting unactioned 1947 spending and recapturing unspent funds. He targets OPA, Commerce, Army and Navy agencies and argues revenues are underestimated, urging 15,000 OPA workers and other redundancies to be trimmed. He aims to separate 1,000,000 federal jobs if savings materialize.
