MEMPHIS, Tenn.--Inflation will drive Democrats from office if they fail to deal with it, Vice President Walter F. Mondale said yesterday in an attempt to convince a meeting of Democrats to support the Carter administration's budget policies.
"The Democratic Party in 1978 has to face up to the problem of inflation or it will be driven out of office just as our predecessors were in 1968 by the Vietnam War," Mondale said.
Delegates approved a resolution of the federal budget saying that the administration should scrutinize all areas of spending and make a special effort to avoid harming those least able to protect themselves.
President Carter appeared at the meeting to defend his commitment to Democratic social programs against attacks that urban and poverty programs would bear the brunt of his campaign against inflation.
