In Washington Senator Hubert H. Humphrey called the administration's justification of about 17 billion in budget cuts inadequate for a sophomore debating course. He labeled 8 billion of the cuts political cosmetics and said the explanation contains undocumented assertions and errors of logic and fact. In Cleveland the Ohio Highway Patrol joined in the search for Solon High School wrestling coach Walter S. Porowski who has been missing since last Tuesday. Porowski, 55, from Garfield Heights, was last seen after school and his abandoned auto was found on Interstate 80 near Lake Milton after a crash, with keys in the ignition.
