Congress does seem determined to reduce spending, and in fact the legislators are talking of slashes going a bit deeper than the $13 billion that Jimmy Carter proposed two weeks ago as the keystone of his fourth anti-inflation program. But the battle over just which programs to reduce by how much-and whether to enact some relatively minor tax increases as well-is by no means settled...

Mayor Coleman Young of Detroit warned of a "long, hot summer" if Congress votes to chop federal programs that help cities.

...credit scarcer and more costly would pitch the economy into recession for real, or if it would perhaps be swept aside by another onrush of inflation. On Wall Street, the Dow Jones average of 30 leading industrial stocks dropped 23 points on the first day after Carter announced his program. It then bounced back and forth before finally closing out the week down 26.5 points at 785, its lowest level since April...
