WASHINGTON, June 20 HTV Eeven veterans' bills involving continuing annual costs of more ti a n $358,000,000 skimmed through the house today without Tecorded votes and with little vo cal opposition, The measures provided also for big one-time expenditures topped by $335,000,000 for hospitals. They dealt with a wide range cf subjects construction of new hospitals, increases in pensions nd disability payments, insur ance, and free automobiles. ? "None of the bills has passed the senate iand, even if they should, some-of them may be vetoed be cause of known ; administration poosition. ; The bill that : caused the most controversy was one directing the veterans' administration to build 24 new hospitals and enlarge 14 others to provide 16,000 addition al beds. One would be at Klamath Falls, Ore. The 16,000-bed program was approved several years ago and funds authorized, but ; President Truman cancelled it. ' The bill's opponents said exist ing hospitals have space for vet erans and medical personnel to man those already built is not available. The bill provides no funds. It simply adds on paper 16,000 beds. Contracts for Salem Street Jobs Approved Contracts for improvement on four Salem area streets were ap proved for Warren Northwest, Inc., by Marion county court Wednes day. ' " Work on, the streets are to be : completed by September 1, accord ing to the contracts. Streets on which asphaltic con crete pavements will be laid, and the cost of each project, include East Frederick street, $2,110; Fair haven avenue, $6,685 and Rickman road, $5,540. ' Glen wood avenue will be graded and gravelled at an estimated cost of $9,606. Property owners adja cent to the streets will bear the cost of the work. Meanwhile the court also was informed that opposition to pro posed improvements on Chester street in Silverton was shaping up. Plans, on .which the county au thorized calling for bids, call for asphaltic concrete pavement on Chester street at a cost of about $7,871. Rex , Albright, Silverton attor ney,;- wrote the court Wednesday that the project would be a burden to property owners-along the street and that the property is not worth the assessment for improvement. Bids are to be opened July 6 and If, by that time, more than 50 per cent of the property owners along the street protest the project will oe droppedsaid the court. t Senate Aims At Government Press Agents WASHINGTON, June 2HJP The senate swung at government press agents . today and by a 63 to 10 vote ordered a cutback , of 25 per cent in funds given. them In 26 government agencies.

But Byrd got- that increased to a 25 per cent cut in funds spent for "pub lic relations and propaganda pur poses."
