Go Slow In Enacting Bills
Aimed At Reds. Warning To
Congress From Justice Dept.
WASHINGTON. March 21. (API Th. justice deportment
today edviiod Congress t 9a ilow in enacting anti-Communist
billi until constitutional quaitioni hava baan settled.

ago.
"The decision in that casa will
be a most important one and action
which may prove to be prematura
in the light of its outcome should
be carefully weighed," Ford aaid
. in a letter to the committee.
Ford's letter was read as the
committee opened hearing on anti
Communist bills sponsored by two
of its members.
One, sponsored by Rep. Nixon (R
Calif), provides among other things
a 10-year prison term and $10,000
fine to conspire to set up a Commu
nist dictatorship in this country.
The other, by Chairman Wood
(D-Ga), would make it unlawful
for federal employes and for per
aons employed under national de
fense contracts to be members of
the Communist party or any othny
organization branded as subver
sive. The Nixon bill, similar to one
now pending in the Senate, would
require Communist and Communist-front
organizations to register
with the Department of Justice and
to furnish a list of members. It
also would require that all mail
and radio broadcasta of such or
ganizations be labeled as Red prop

Appropriation Bill Cuts
Sum Asked By President
House Group
Sets $200 Per
Capita Outlay
National Defense Ittms
Rtprtstnt Over Half Of
Deficit Spending Program
WASHINGTON, March 2l.-l.Vl-A
$29,045,030,164 deficit - boosting
government spending bill repre
senting a $200 outlay for every
man, woman and child in the na
tion was approved today by the
House Appropriations committee.
Grim reminder of the cost of
war, more than half of ita total ia
composed of items for national de-
I fense, including charges growing
out of World War II. The bill
carries $13,911,127,300 for the de
fense department, $5,801,782,795 for
the veterans' administration and
$947,970,000 for the Atomic Energy
commission.
There were no deep cuts in any
major programs, the average re
duction under President Truman's
requests being five percent. But
there ia a move in the House to
send the bill back to the committee
for a further $1,000,000,000 cut or
more.
Voht on Party Lines
Rep. Tiber (R NY) said all com
mittee Republicans present voted
against approving the bill on the
ground it was "too big." He said
all Democrats voted for It. There
are 27 Democrats and 18 Republi
cans on the committee.
Slated for House debate next
week, the bill wraps into a single
measure for the first time in mod
ern history the appropriations of
more than 40 federal agencies. Not
included are foreign aid and mili
tary assistance funds and ao-ealled
permanent and indefinite appropri
ations, aggregating $11,592,751,053.
The bill's total ia $1, 567,900.504
less than the President requested
and, if approved by Congress,
would result in an estimated fed
eral deficit of $4,153,682,312 for the
1951 fiscal year, atarting next July
1. The appropriationa provided are
for that year.
In actual cash, the bill appro
priates $27,266,403,664, which is
$1,385,377,504 leas than th Presi
dent requested and $832,014,180 lesa
than waa provided for comparable
activitiea thia year.
The appropriations committee
pointed out that the cash cuta
would mean a reduction of $979,
489.060 in planned government
spending in the fiscal year 1951.

Defense Fund
Reduced By
House Group
WASHINGTON, March 21 (JP
Th House appropriationa commit
tee today approved $13,911,127,300
for national defenae in the year
beginning. July 1 and aaid even
thia might be too little to pre
pare the country for an emergency.
The committee aaid the need for
economy and financial stability
kept it from raising the total, add
ing: "Undoubtedly we are trying cer
tain very grave risks in not be
ing better prepared."
The House group trimmed $203,
332,700 lesa than ll per rent
from th $14,114,460,000 President
Truman asked for the Army, Navy
and Air Force for th new 1951
fiscal year.
And it cautioned those who might
seek deeper cuta that "the nation
cannot safely make a further re
duction in the military program."
Any aubstantial slash, the com
mittee said, "would cripple the
national defense effort." In fact, it
added, "there ia ample warrant
for a number of increases in the
budget to more adequately pre
pare thia country for an emer
gency." Except for atepping up the
1 mounts requested for the Army,
National Guard and Reserves, and
naval civil engineering and air
craft, the committee either left
th totals untouched or trimmed
them.
The amount finally approved ia
$1,577,423,498 less than the $15,
691,873.498 granted the defense de
partment last year.
The expectation ia that the aame
level of defense expenditures bar
ring a war will continue into fis
cal 1952. Secretary of Defense
Johnson haa already advised the
house military appropriationa sub
committee of that fact.
The Navy felt the paring knife
the least. It asked for $4,008,739,
000 and was cut by $36,054,000 to
$3,972,685,000.
The Air Force's request for $4.

to $4,580,615,000. The Army'a $4.
