Commerce Secretary Sinclair Weeks, an economic conservative by birth, instinct and training, stepped to the firing line with a denunciation of "budget butchers, whose latest proposals go far beyond sound economy and now threaten progress and peace." In the face of the united Administration front, congressional budget-cutting mail was slacking off, and letters supporting the President were beginning to pile...
