great price," and the man who
old all that he had to buy it

Have you aver asked your
self what It meant?
The "price" la our surrender
of the afflictive human think
ing causing our troubles. Horn
to give up these human fears,
how to grasp and find freedom
would indeed be "the pearl."
The way of this liberating

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-

Towns Flooded By
Rising Rivers In
British Columbia
VANCOUVER. B. C. June 16
(JP) British Columbia rivers, now
at flood stage, opened a path of
devastation in interior districts
today.
Hardest hit is the sprawling
Bridge River area. 200 miles east
of here, where 5,000 people are
isolated by rail, road and tele
graph. evacuation of the village ' of
Minto, near Bridge River, a min
ing center, is under way, Streets
are under three to four feet of
water. 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

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.
As the fate of the missing still
remained unknown, residents of the
town said their hope of finding
some alive is fading.
The rescuers are working should
er to shoulder in a narrow tunnel
where the men have been impris
ond since Wednesday night by a
fall of silt and soft coal brought
down by a flash flood.
The American Optometric asso
ciation recommends periodic re
examination of vision for automo
bile drivers. It says that this should
be required by law, at least with
every renewal of a license, but
oftener for licenses that are for
as long as two or three years.

Oath-Lying Charge
Faced By Arrested
Caltech Scientist
PASADENA. Calif.. 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

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.

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

desire to smooth over the dispute.

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.
