Top Money Bills
Prevent Congress
From Adjourning
WASHINGTON Law
makers took a look at the tally
sheet on appropriations bills and
deicided Congress would be lucky
to set out of town by Nov. 1.
Six of the 13 major bills carry
ing funds to run the government
still must be acted on. At least
one of these, carrying money for
military and economic aid to for
eign countries, promises to stir up
controversy.
Senate Democratic leader Mc
Farland of Arizona has fixed Oct.
20 as his latest adjournment tar
get. But other senators said pri
vately they did not think that was
realistic. House Speaker Rayburn
said "maybe" Congress can wind
up its work this month.
This is the situation on the re
maining six big money measures
for the current year:
1. $56,937,808,030 armed services
bill. A compromise version has
passed the House.
2. Rivers and harbors and flood
control projects bill, in senate
house conference. The House voted
$514,000,000 and the Senate $638,
000,000. 3. State, Justice and Commerce
departments bill. In conference,
the House voted $1,045,940,000 and
the Senate $1,045,452,000.
4. $1,744,000,000 supplemental bill
carrying funds for defense and
economic controls agencies. The
Senate passed it by voice vole.
5. $4,440,559,420 supplemental bill
carrying funds for construction of
military bases in this country and
overseas and for the atomic en
ergy commission. It was rec
ommended by the house appropria
tions committee, and debate will
start in the house Wednesday. The
Senate will act later.
6. Foreign aid bill, not yet out
of the house committee. The House
hopes to take it up next week. The
senate appropriations committee
expects to take at least a week
to consider this bill. The Senate
completed congressional action on
a $7,483,400,000 authorization meas
sure, sending it to the White House.
More Than 3 Months Late
Congress is theoretically sup
posed to get all the appropriations
bills passed by the opening of a
new fiscal year on July 1, but it
never has in recent years. It is
now more than three months late
on fiscal 1952. It has had to pass
resolutions to permit government
agencies to keep spending until
their regular bills are enacted.
Aside from the money bills, the
only major must legislation re
maining is the tax increase bill.
A conference committee is ex
pected to finish with this in a few
days. The House voted a $7,200,
000,000 annual tax hike and the Sen
ate approved a $5,400,000,000 meas
ure. However, the Senate is expected
to spend considerable time debat
ing two controversial nominations
by President Truman that of
Chester Bowles to be ambassador
to India and Philip C. Jessup to
be a delegate to the United Nations.
Sequoia and Kings canyon na-;
tional parks, which adjoin each
other in California, have more
mule deer than any other National
park.

U. S. Army Youth
Program Also
Winning Adults
By DON DOANE
FRANKFURT, Germany -OP)
The U. S. army s "German youth
actitivies" (GYA) program has
reached ooo.uuu (jcrman young
sters with play-taught lessons in
democracy.
The Americans who sponsor the
program now are convinced it has
reached many German adults too
"There are signs of growing in
terest among ai.'ult Germans i n
organized democratic activities for
their youth," said Mrs. Jonett
Shouse of Washington, D. C, after
a tour of GYA centers in Ger
many. Mrs. Shouse is head of the "Gen
eral Clay fund for German youth
activities" which has contributed
more than $23,000 to the program.
"Voluntary contributions b y
Germans to the GYA are steadily
increasing," Mrs. Shouse said.
In the program's infancy, soon
after the war, some Germans were
suspicious the Americans were try
ing to "Americanize" their young
sters. "But this suspicion has steadily
faded," said Lt. Col. Robert A.
Norman, of Garland, Tex., w h o
oversees the program for the
army.
"We found a simple cure. We
simply invited the parents into our
centers to see for themselves we
are just trying to teach them de
mocracy." The growing interest of German
adults is regarded by Mrs. Shouse
as more than a mere hopeful sign,
It may mean the difference of life
or death for the youth program.
The American "occupation" i s
fast being phased out, With it
will go many of the things that
have made the youth program
possible including funds.
GYA activities include: snorts.
language and citizenship classes,
gardening, orchestras, and com
m u n i t y betterment projects.
Youngsters practice democracy by
forming their own youth councils.

Floundering Congressional Drive
For "Economy" Develops Backfire
By PETER EDSO
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON (NEA) Government bureaucrats
are now going to be authorized to ride around town in taxi
cabs. On official business, that is. And they will be authorized
to tip the drivers, too. At taxpayers expense.
iius is uie unsnoi oi ine preat
congressional economy drive to re
duce the number of government
chauffeurs who had been riding
government officials from confer-
ence to conference in government
automooues. The fantastic ball of
red tape that has been wound and
unwoulnd to solve this latest gov
unwound to solve this latest gov
able. But it has now all been re.
duced to administrative orders.
This is how it happened:
First, General Services Adminis
trator Jess Larson the govern
ment s cniet 'Housekeeper asked
Comptroller General Lindsay C.
Warren, head of the general ac
counting office, for a ruling on how
he was to move his employes from
one office to another in Wash
ington, since the 18 chauffeurs' jobs
in GSA had been abolished.
GAO then told GSA how it could
be done. GSA can't tell other gov
ernment agencies how to do it.
But the pattern established for
GSA will apparently be applied
to all other departments.
Every official wanting
to go from A to B on government
business must fill out Form No.
1012. This is the official travel
voucher.
If he goes by street car or bus.
he enters that. If he goes by taxi,
he enters that. He may tip 10 cents
on every fare up to $1, On all
fares over $1 get this he may
tip only 10 percent "to the nearest
nickel."
If he goes to the Pentagon, fare
$1.25, he may tip 10 percent or
12'i cents. But which is the nearest
nickel 10 cents or 15 cents? Any
way, the tip is not entered on
form 1012 as a tip, but as part of
fare.
Heretofore it has been almost
impossible for government em
ployes to get approval for taxicab
fares entered on their expense ac
counts. Reasons for taking a cab
instead of a streetcar had to be
explained in detail in every case,
and sometimes it took GAO weeks
or months to audit and approve
these expense items.
The new authorizalion for taxi
riding is quite a concession, but
it is only the beginning of the red
tape which the "economy" legis
lation has made necessary. Since
it would not be fair to ask gov
ernment employees to finance their
own transportation about town on
official business, a petty cash win
dow is to be opened in very
government office.
Here the bureaucrat who is broke
may go and get his taxi or bus
fare in advance. By filling out
the necessary voucher, of course.
New Jobs Created
So, by cutting out the chauf
feurs, Congress has in effect
created new government jobs for
cashiers in every department, and
so increased government employ
ment. What's more, it is now estimated
that it may cost the government
from $3 to $5 to audit and process
each monthly travel voucher. The
increased paper work may be stag
gering. When all the government chauf
feurs jobs were abolished by law,
the automobiles which they form
erly drove were not abolished.
They're still on hand. In order to
get some use out of these cars,
new administrative orders are be
ing prepared which will authorize
government officials to drive these
cars themselves, on official busi
ness. Any official who holds a drivers'
license may call up his depart-
