Baldwin Urges U S Spending Cuts to Ease Living Costs
U S Senator Raymond J. Baldwin urged simultaneous cuts in government spending and enhanced aid to resist European communism at a Junior Chamber of Commerce gathering. He proposed reducing government personnel and delaying most public works, except agricultural and counter-espionage projects, to spark price relief and boost production while staving off unemployment. He warned price controls harm patriotism and called for higher minimum wages, export controls, and coordinated federal purchases for Europe to reduce waste. Other speakers included Lt. William Robinson and Yale football star Billy Boor.
