Single Package Federal Budget Bill Apparently Doomed After Year's Try By BRUCE BIOSSAT A hopeful congressional experiment, the single package federal budget bill, apparently is doomed When leaders of both houses agreed to wrap all appropriations into one huge measure, they did so in the belief it might save money and valuable time. The theory was that the lawmakers would gain a much clearer notion of how and where to economize if they could see the whole budget pattern rath er than isolated fragments. It was felt also that the plan would per mit wiser decisions on taxation needs. Some time ago House money ex perts voiced disappointment over the actual operation of the idea. Now Senator Lucas of Illinois, Democratic leader in the Senate, has taken the same tack. Rep. John Taber. New York Re publican, put it most bluntly for the House side, "it i a lemon," ne declared. House leaders found it took just about as long to whip the single package appropriation into shape and steer it to passage as the old individual money bills required. 1 Debate on the House floor, plus consideration of countless amend ments, consumed four weeks. Man agers of the bill said too many house members became bored at this lengthy study of a single sub ject. Attendance suffered and Im portant parts ot tne Dill man i gei the careful attention they deserved. The feeling is that budget af fairs will get better consideration when they are served up in smaller morsels interspersed with more varied legislative fare. Though the omnibus measure won't reach the Senate floor for a few weeks at least, Senate lead ers expect the same month-long re view of the bill there. They aren't anticipating this monopoly of the Senate calendar. Because the new plan has not speeded up the appropriations proc ess, congress proDamy will nave to resort once more to its now familiar device of passing interim resolutions to keep federal agen cies going until money is voted. The practical difficulties encoun tered by the single package bill constitute a hard fact of life for those who saw in it a real chance to streamline budgt-making. No easier to swallow is the con viction of experienced appropria- tions men that the omnibus bill's unwieldy character makes substan tial economies no more likely than under the old system. A simplified budget procedure looks no closer than in 1949. Pos siblv we must look for progress first at the real starting point the framing ot budget estimates oy the various departments. Yet it's hard to imagine that their product will be any simpler tinil the agen cies themselves are simpler in form and function. The dilemma of Congress over the budget would seem in the end to be another argument for putting into effect the 14 major plans for Government reorganization propos ed by the Hoover commission but still on tne snen. Reorganization Is no guarantee of economy. But certainly confu- PROVEN PERFORMANCE A standard A40 Devon Sedan ee tabliihed 36 American, stock r record!

C. June 16 (JP) British Columbia rivers, now at flood stage, opened a path of devastation in interior districts today.

The village has a popula tion of 200. Ranchers have fled their homes in the area, driving cattle to higher ground. Some ranch homes have been swept away in the swirling tide of water. The towns of Gold Bridge. Bra- lorne and surrounding communi ties are isolated. The water is reported higher than in the disastrous flood year of 1948. The hotel and a score of houses in Minto are already flooded. Other homes are threatened. Rivers throughout B. C. are ris ing and there is no sign of a break in the hot spell. Temperatures high in the 80' i are forecast for today. Hope For Five Trapped Miners Begins To Fade CADOMIN, Alta., June 15 (CP) Kescue workers, toiling frantic ally to find five miners entombed in the Cadomin mine for more than 38 hours, have found a min er's head lamp, first clue they are nearing the trapped men. This development was reported early today by one of the rescue workers as he came off the night shift. Miners said this was the first sign they are near the trapped men.

June 16 UP) The FBI announced today the arrest of Dr. bidney weinoaum, 52, California Instit'ite of Tech nology scientist formerly with its jet-propulsion laboratory. Kichard B. Mood, neaa oi me Loa Angeles FBI office, said Wein baum ia charged with perjury and fraud against the government. In a complaint filed with U. S. Commissioner Howard V. Calverly, the government alleges that: "On or about Sept. 23, 1949 at Los Angeles, Sidney Weinbaum under oath before the industrial employment review board wilfully and fraudulently testified that he had never been a member of the Community party, when in fact he had held membership in the Com munist party professional unit No. 122, under the party name of Sydny Empson." , Hood also charged that about April 8, 1949, Weinbaum, "in his personnel security questionnaire which he signed in connection with his employment with the jet-propulsion laboratory at Caltech wilfully omitted a statement that he had been a member of the Communist party." A Russian emigrant in 1922, Weinbaum graduated from Caltech in 1924, was naturalized in 1927 and received his doctor's degree, cum laude, in 1933. During the war, and before coming to Caltech, the scientist was employed with the Bendix Aviation corporation. Man's Body Found In Klamath Canal KLAMATH FALLS, June 1&-UP) The body of an elderly man, apparently beaten, then tossed into an irrigation canal, was found 16 miles south of Klamath Falls last night. An autopsy disclosed he died of drowning, but Coroner George H. Adler said there were wounds, ap parently from a brawl, on head and chest. Sheriff Jack Fraley said he was convinced the man was knocked unconscious, then thrown into the canal. The body was recovered from the water 3! miles north of Mer rill. It bore no identification. Adler described the man as about 60, five feet seven inches Religious Spat Delays Committee Vacancy Filling WASHINGTON, June 16 -UP) An undercover wrangle over reli gious affiliation was reported to be Holding up selection of a House Democrat to fill a vacancy on the labor and education committee. Members said the Reps. Mitchell (D-Wash) and Tauriello (D-NY) are being considered for the seat left vacant by the death of Rep. Lesinskl (D-Mlch). Mitchell is a Protestant, Tauriello a Catholic. The religious issue is of some importance because of the bearing it has on a months-old controversy within the committee over federal aid to education. Power Dam Building Urge SPOKANE, June 16 (JP) Paul J. Raver told the Bonneville re gional advisory board Thursday why he is pressing for rapid con struction of power dams in the northwest: The Bonneville Power adminis tration, which Raver heads, ex pects to serve 7.000,000 persons in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and western Montana by 1970. Incomplete census figures Indi cate there are less than 4,000,000 in the region now. Raver said 4,000,000 of the num ber will be living in towns and cities of more than 2500 popula tion.

He was Pete Swansen, 65, reported missing from the Hot Springs hotel since June 8. Adler said the body had been in the canal, which runs from upper Klamath Lake, five or six days. Two-thirds of the drivers in volved in highway crossing acci dents were found to have defective vision on the side of the accident, according to a study made by Ed win D. Fletcher, examiner in charge of research, California state division of driver's licenses. The importance of highway safe ty is emphasized by the National Safety council, which has found that a driver is three times as like ly to become involved in a fatal accident at night as he is in the daytime. Lesinskl, who was chairman of the committee and an ardent Cath olic, bitterly and successfully op posed an education bill by Rep. Barden (D-NC) which would deny Catholic parochial schools certain federal benefits. The Catholic hierarchy termed the Barden bill discriminatory. Le sinskl, with the support of those members opposing all forms of fed eral school aid, was able to bottle up the bill in the committee. While Lesinski's death elevated Barden to the chairmanship, the North Carolinian has indicated a desire to smooth over the dispute. Explained By BPA Head jobs which can be provided through creation of new industries based on the region's natural resources, he added. The BPA director urged imme diate construction of Albeni falls dam on the Pend Oreille river in northern Idaho. He said it would provide an additional 100.000 kilo watts of power in 1952 at Coulee dam through the water it could store. The dam has been authorized but the money for construction is still to be provided. The BPA has announced it will not be able to guarantee continuous delivery of power to more indus tries than it is now serving until ' 1954. YEARS OLD copounoi rmx. 7 W4 Milk Strikes Far From Settlement By The Associated Press Employer insistence on arbitra tion of unresolved issues and strik er insistence on retroactivity for pay hikes blocked settlement today of the strike of 3,250 AFL dairy workers in Pittsburgh and seven surrounding counties. The strike, starting its second week, has cut off all except emergency deliv eries to the 2,300 residents in the area. A similar week-old strike in Washington, D. C, brought a pro posal today by Rep. Miller (K Neb) for Congressional action to "abolish the milk monopoly" in the nation's capital. He told a reporter be will introduce a bill Monday to permit the sale of any milk from outside sources which meets pub lic health standards. Under present law only dairies licensed by the district health department can han dle the imported milk supplies. Several shipments of certified milk to retailers in Washington have been embargoed since 1,600 AFL workers of nine dairies quit work last Saturday. The dispute is over wages and hours with the union seeking a cut in the work week from 48 to 40 hours without reduction in pay. Hoover Economy Plans Assailed At DAY Meet EUGENE, June 16 (JP) The Hoover commission's federal econ omy proposals were attacked last night at the Disabled American Veterans' convention. The critic was Ewing W. Mays, national jun ior vice commander of the organi zation. He said that a survey conducted by the DAV showed that both dis abled veterans and those who are not indicated that the government should do more for the disabled and not economize at their ex pense. He also pointed disapprovingly at the commission's recommen dations concerning the civil service preferential hiring of veterans. He said it would destroy a tried and tested method of hiring veterans. MASONS ELECT PORTLAND.
