Carter welcomes Trudeau
WASHINGTON - With drum rolls and trumpet fanfales for his guest but none for his husband, Carter gave a warm welcome yesterday to Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, saluting the "tremendous friendship" between the United States and Canada.
the United States and Canada.
After receiving a 10 gum salute, Trudeau told Carter, "We feel these are great days for our relations and for the world. We have great expectations this continental neighborhood will flourish."
Trudeau and Carter met in the Oval Office after the welcoming ceremony. Yesterday was the first of two days of discussions expected to cover such wide-ranging issues as the economy, defense and fishing rights.
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Carter yesterday asked Congress to increase 1978 spending by $19.4 billion above what former President Gerald Geraid R. Ford proposed. Carter said money would put his campaign first step "away" filling his promises to the voters.
Carter asks for budget increase
Carter said the proposed 1978 federal budget was essentially still President Ford's budget because he hadn't had sufficient time to change it completely.
But he said that in changing Ford's budget, proposals had been rejected that would needlessly add to the burden of spending depended upon Medicare, Medicaid and food programs.
CARTER PROPOSED increasing spending to $499.4 billion in fiscal 1978, compared with the $440 billion Ford recommended. There would be a budget deficit of $7.7 billion, which is $10.8 billion more than Ford recommended.
spending in fiscal 1977 is now estimated at $4 billion, with the deficit at a record $686 million.
Most of the changes to the Ford budget were expected. Carter scrapped Ford's plans to cut food stamps, child nutrition programs, Medicare and Medicaid, public works programs and unemployment benefits.
He also rejected Frost's proposals for a $1-billion tax cut, replacing it with his own tax cut and job program that would total an estimated $31 billion over two years.
HE TRIMMED defense spending by about $350 million from Ford's request for fiscal 1978 and proposed cutting back on
authority for defense spending after 1978 by about $2.7 billion.
Outlays for defense under Carter's plans would total $111.8 billion, compared with Ford's $112.3 billion proposal. Carter would increase spending for the Department of Defense to Welfare to $161.7 billion, compared with the $184.8 billion recommended by Ford.
Carter deleted $28 million in proposed spending for 18 water resources development projects for 1978, a proposal that already has raised a storm in Congress. The project was not listed. Carter indicated spending for some of the projects could be restored later.
THERE WOULD be significant changes in outouts for housing assistance. The number of additional subsidized housing units to be assisted in 1977 would be increased from 238,800 to 400,000, which would increase outouts by $70 million in 1978.
Carter also proposed an increase of $27 million in public housing operation subsidies for 1977 and 1978 to offset higher utility costs from the severe winter this year.
Carter's budget proposals are still subject to change by Congress, which will begin in March.

Amin sentences 1,000 to death
OFF THE WALL HALL
727 New Hampshire
SUA
NAIROI- At least 1,000 Ugandans were killed and hundreds more were arrested and tortured in a two-week campaign of terror; directed by Uganda's President Idi Amin and climaxed by the executions of the nation's Anglican archbishop and two senior cabinet ministers, reliable intelligence sources reported here yesterday.
"Amin has insisted that they died in an accident while trying to overpower their enemies."
The sources said the campaign apparently stemmed from a decision by Amin to eliminate what he believed to be subversive elements within the Achene tribe on tribes armed with a Catholic clerical army. It was a Molem and member of the Katwa tribe, both minorities in Uganda.
Executed last week under the cover of an "auto accident" were Archbishop Janani Lawuw and high government ministers Charles Oboth-Ofumbi and Erinayo Oryme. All three had been accused of plotting to overthrow the Amin regime.
