Senator Douglas Backs Spending Cut in Senate Battle
In Washington on May 11 Senator Douglas of Illinois joined Republicans Bridges and Ferguson in a push to require a five percent reduction in current year funding for the Treasury and Post Office. The plan would let department heads choose spending cuts, arguing it is a sensible way to trim the budget without harming operations. The Senate bill would provide 3113 million for the Treasury and Post Office, up 40 million from the House. Critics warned the Post Office operates at a loss and may need future supplemental funds.
