Harris
Privilege is issue
ATLANTA (UPI) — Former
Oklahoma Sen. Fred Harris
says his campaign organization
is the “best organized” of all
the presidential candidates and
will win him essential grass
roots support in an election
year where “privilege is the
fundamental issue” in the
nation.
“I’ve been organizing in
America now since last Septem
ber —a little more than a
year. We now have the best
organized campaign in America
by far. We’re organized now in
43 states and by the end of the
year, we’ll be organized in all
of them,” Harris said at
Morehouse College Tuesday
night.
He said he is “just starting”
to organize in Georgia and has
not yet decided whether to
enter the Georgia’s first presi
dential primary.
The Oklahoman received a
standing ovation from a small
but enthusiastic group of
students at the predominantly
black college. He told the
audience they should have
remained sitting “because I’m
against the ‘imperial presiden
cy.’ That kind of thing goes to a
fellow’s head.”
Chiding newspaper colum
nists and others he said were
skeptical about his “New
Populist” campaign, Harris
said “experts and the polls do
not predict the primaries —
they follow them. What you
have to do is go into the

Ford suspected of playing budget politics
WASHINGTON (UPI) -
President Ford’s proposal to
link a S2B billion tax cut with
comparable cuts in spending
have come under sharp criti
cism in Congress, where there
are suspicions he is playing
politics.
When Budget Director James
Lynn went to Capitol Hill
Tuesday to plead for congres
sional cooperation in carving
fat out of the budget, he
encountered opposition from
skeptical senators.

goes beyond picking numbers
out of the air...,” Sen. Edmund
Muskie, D-Maine, told Lynn at
a hearing before the new
Senate Budget Committee that
Muskie chairs.
“It’s hogwash; pure and
simply a lot of hogwash.”
Senate Democratic leader
Mike Mansfield also raked
Ford’s proposal — particularly
his refusal to indicate where he
would like to slice S2B billion
from the fiscal 1977 federal
budget.

But Mansfield, in a Senate
speech, said “suggestions that
the administration come for
ward and point out the fat and
waste in its own budget have
been greeted by deep and stony
silence.”
Ford is asking Congress to
agree to a $395 billion lid on
spending in fiscal 1977 — S2B
billion less than it would
otherwise be, the same amount
as he would like to cut taxes.
Lynn insisted there were no
firm proposals where to cut,
but suggested food stamp,

Medicare, Medicaid and Social
Security programs as pros
pects. The important thing, he
said, was to set a ceiling now
so there can be a tax cut.
“The President’s proposal
has been long on rhetoric, but
short on facts,” Muskie said.
“Long on headlines, but short
on substance; and, I fear, long
on politics, but short on
economics.”
Even Republican committee
members were critical. Sen.
Henry Bellmon, R-Okla., sug
gested there might be a
“political purpose” in Ford’s
tying a tax cut to a spending
ceiling. Sen. Robert Dole, Il-
Kan., suggested Congress was
being asked “to buy a pig in a
poke.”
