As Counselor To Truman
Economic Adviser's Resignation Follows Blast at Spending By LYLE C. WILSON WASHINGTON, Oct. 10— President Truman will accept the resignation of his chief economic adviser, who has
that the government's big time spending spree may ruin the natipn.
The White House would not talk about Dr. Edwin G. Nourse's resignation beyond confirming that it is before the President. It was learned, however, the resignation was so flat that the President has no choice but to accept it. It will become effective Nov. 1. Mr. Truman was described as not wanting to see Dr. Nourse go, but having no alternative. Press Secretary Charles G. Ross said Mr. Truman has not found a successor to Dr, Nourse.

His disagreements with fellow}
councilmen have been revealed for many months. His colleagues are Dr. Leon Keyserling and Dr. John C. Clark.
Dr. Nourse did not single Mr. Truman out especially for criti-|3
cism. He said later that he did not intend his speech as an “attack” .on the administration and was surprised that it had been so interpreted. He admonished farm, labor and other pressure groups for squeezing the national economy in their special interests. He cited industrial management for failure to make a robust effort to cut prices in the national interest. But Dr. Nourse’s prime target was government and what he regards as dangerous financial practices.
