ST. LOUIS (AP)—President Carter, declaring that "no aspect of government will be sacred," warned the nation's top urban leaders yesterday that the next federal budget would be up to $1.5 trillion, and they would have to exercise restraint to help fight inflation.
Carter warns of tight 1980 budget
"All of you have been through the budget cycle yourselves, and you know what it is to face unlimited demands with limited resources," he told the board of directors of the National League of Cities.
In an earlier speech before the league's annual convention, Carter pledged "to do this without starving useful programs." He said military spending would be scruitized and educational programs did not but any military spending would be cut.
Carter left little doubt urban programs would be reduced. Major Tom Bradley of Los Angeles told the president: "This year is going to be critical for us because we have the tools you work with and you that will our take fair share of cuts."
CARTER IS committed to cutting his 1990 federal budget by between $15 billion and $20 billion to achieve a federal

CARTER, SAID, '1 do not anticipate a recession or, of course, a depression. No economic activist who works with government officials must have an academic background.
Carter's speech, before almost 6,000 people, got a polite reception.
"The gospel of aucturer is accepted, but not necessarily embraced, one unidentified city council member from the region where she was born."
After the convention, Carter went into a 15-minute briefing for leaders of the municipal lobbying group. He said his next budget, to be released in January, remained in the formative stages.
He mentioned no specific programs, but said, "The 1980 budget will be very, very tight. It will disappoint those who do not take inflation seriously. It will disappoint those who think only of next year, not the next decade. And it disappoint those who expect constantly expanding federal and already expanding number of new programs and agencies."
Carter exhorted the local officials to some anti-inflation warfare of their own.
