The bill specifically denies to congress any review of appropri ations or control over specific ex penditures. We need federal support for re development of slum areas, for guaranteed financing of new home, for such honest assistance as is really justified. But H. R. 4009 will do more toward aggra vating those problems than solv ing them. It is a cruel political hoax on those who need help.
