ing a grounded 700-foot Italian

tug bringing barges to take
60,000 barrels of oil from the
stuck ship, Finale, delayed the

WASHINGTON — President
Carter proposed his first budget, a
one-half trillion dollar package that
[ceeded his self-imposed limit and
promised a substantial tax reduction
for most Americans.
I It exceeds current federal spend
ing by $38 billion but, with few ex
ceptions, proposes no new federal
ending programs.
Carter’s budget concentrated on
|eeping up with inflation and pro
sed little new spending except for
ergy conservation and research,
ere was a small increase in out-
iys for national defense and a hint
lat spending would rise for ailing
lies, towns and older suburbs.
Despite the fanfare surrounding
the introduction of the Carter ad-
jiinistration’s first budget, the final
pending decisions must be made
by Congress. If history is any guide,
the budget will be changed consid-
frably before the bureaucracy be
gins to spend the money this Oc-
ober.
I Of the $38 billion in proposed in
creases, he said $30 billion was
accessary to maintain current serv
ices because of inflation. Carter
ticketed one-third of the $8 billion
in new spending for energy research
and conservation, and suggested
modest rises in spending for educa-
Ition and assistance to the jobless.
KCarter asked for $13.2 billion to
more than double spending for
energy conservation, to substitute
wood and other fuels for oil and gas,
and to step up research on all
energy sources except nuclear reac
tors.
Rut a White House forecast of fu
ture spending showed the years of
rapidly growing energy budgets are
about to end.
Carter said he wants to cut back
the space shuttle program by seek
ing funds for a fleet of four orbital
transports instead of five as origi
nally planned. The shuttle is a reus
able ship that will haul satellites to
and from orbit and carry manned
laboratories to conduct space re
search.
Carter offered only two new in
itiatives in his campaign to cut un
employment from 6.6 percent to a
historic full employment level of 4
percent by 1983.
The president created 725,000
public service jobs in fiscal 1978 as
the backbone of his jobs campaign.
The new budget would continue to
fund those jobs, plus 50,000 more
through a welfare reform demon
stration project.
Acknowledging the political real
ities of trying to scrap a program
with strong support on Capitol Hill,
Carter withdrew his ill-fated attempt
of last year to chop nearly $400 mil
lion in “impact aid” funds for schools.
Carter disclosed plans to end
