Urges Drastic Cuts In College Budgets Lt. Gov. Parker In Call For Reduction BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (UPD—A high state official Thursday night called for a "drastic” cut in money appropriated to the state’s colleges and universities and said it is “impossible” to support them “on the scale to which they are trying to become accustomed.” Lt. Gov. Crawford Parker called for the move in a talk at a predegislative conference at Indiana University. “We must cut the frills out of higher education,” Parker said. “These soaring budgets must be stopped somewhere.” Parker, noting that the budget submitted by Indiana’s four statesupported institutions for the next two years is 50 per cent higher than for the last biennium, said the Legislature must make necessary cuts “this winter.” Parker warned legislators that Governor Handley would veto any attempt to increase taxes. Handley later backed up Parker’s warning. Both plugged for cooperation between Republicans and Democrats in the 1959 General Assembly. The three-day conference, sponsored by the Ford Foundation, ends Saturday. Handley told the legislators they should go slowly on budget-raising pet projects, that he will present a balanced state budget for the 1959-61 biennium and that he will oppose any new tax increase.
