WASHINGTON (AP) - Pres-
ident Ford will send Congress a
6394.2-billion budget tomorrow,
but congressional Democrats
are already attacking it and
marshaling their strength for ^ settling into its long-term
— imminent veto battles to test
their strength in the election-
year spending dispute.
The outlines of the budget
Ford will submit Wednesday
were made dear in his State of
the Union message Monday
night as he urged spending re-
straint and renewed his propos-
al for a balancing income tax
cut.
In his address, Ford said the
nation’s condition was better
now than it was a year ago but
that it’s still not good enough.
He proposed cutting income
taxes by $10 billion, raising So-
cial Security levies $4-2 billion,
adding catastrophic health in-
surance for Medicare
recipients, encouraging busi-
ness expansion by offering new
tax incentives and providing
housing assistance for 500,000
families.

The hike will probably go into

The new prices will be 50 cents
for K4,55 cents for grades four
and five, 60 cents for grades six
through eight, and 65 cents for

Democrats responded with a
chorus of charge that Ford
was putting what they called an
arbitrary spending ceiling
ahead of the needs of the unem-
ployed in an economy just be-
ginning to recover.
The Democrats also signaled
that the forthcoming dispute
over vetoes and the federal
budget will bear the seeds for
future political issue in this
election year.
Ford raised some political
theme in his address, possibly
trying out “new realism" as a
campaign slogan and obliquely
