The commission's task force said all the long, complex list of recom mended changes would save some four billion dollars a year if adopt ed. That would be 6 per cent of, all current spending. j The commission's key recommen dation was that congressional ap3 propriations and government spend ing, accounting and budgeting alt be shifted from the present "obi gational" basis to a "sot" basis Closer Controls It said this would eive both Congress and the executive depart- j ment closer controls over purse strings. . At present. Congress approves ap propriations which are authoriza tions to take on spending obliga tions, that is, to place orders and sign contracts for future expendi tures, as well as to meet current bills. The commission recommended a shift to budgeting, appropriating and accounting for the actual "cost of goods and services" to be re ceived during a year. To inclement this fundamental shift in the federal government's approach to its finances the com mission recommended that: 1. The Budget Bureau be "re vitalized" so that it "can meet its management responsibilities be yond those pertaining solely to budget preparations and control." 2. The Budget bureau's authority to review "management, organiza tion and business practices through out the executive agencies ; should be strengthened. ; ' 3. The Budget Bureau be auth orized to establish one or more of its own men in each maior branch and agency of the executive gov- ernment, to be the bureau s eyes and ears, and to report to the bureau "on agency budget prep arations and administration and other facets of the bureau's man agerial responsibilities." More Money 4. That Congress give the Budget Bureau more money and manpow er, and that the bureau should es tablish a new assistant director of the budget to head an Office of Accounting, as a central watchdog over spending and accounting throughout the government 5. Every government r g e n c y have a comptroller who would be selected with the help of the Budg et Bureau, and the new assistant budget director would "assist ac tively" in the hiring, training and firing of 'accounting personne'l throughout the executive ; govern Vatican Stepping Up Radio Power to Offset Commuijists c By ALDO FORTE Jto start beaming news around United Press Staff Correspondent the end of this year. VATICAN CITY (UP) 24 Languages The battle between religious Meanwhile the broadcasts and Communist in terference is now in full swing between the Vatican and Moscow. Without making , any open charges, the Vatican has decided to install six new powerful radio transmitters to give new strength to its already mighty radio sta tion. The decision to install the new transmitting station was reached after numerous complaints had been received by the Vatican re garding constant jamming and disturbances which always oc curred when special topics were being broadcast behind the Iron Curtain. The problem of interference was first discussed when the sta tion broadcast the news of the excommunication taken, by the Sacred Consistorial Congregation against Yugoslav government leaders following the trial of Aloysius Cardinal Stepinac of Zagreb in November 1946. , The Vatican learned that many faithful behind the Iron Curtain failed to receive the news be cause of effectively jammed ac tivity by the Reds. End of Year .The complaint was raised again when similar action was taken by the Holy See against .Poland in October, 1853. for the arrest of Stephan Cardinal WyszynskL primate of Poland. The problem was discussed, and it was decided that the radio station which had been installed by the famous inventor, Gugliel . mo Marconi, was not powerful enough to battle Communist in terference. A new spot was found in the small town of Santa Maria di . Galena, 11 miles north of Rome, where the Vatican had a small property that enjoyed extraterri toriality as a result of the Later an accords of 1929. Work was started 'immediately and the malaria-swept area was cleansed by purifying the waters ol the Arrone River. Once this was completed, work on the new station itself began under the direction of such an expert as Father Giuseppe Gianfrancescbi, who accompanied Gen. Umberto Nobile in his expedition over the North Pole. The new station is scheduled old" station. situated on the highest - hill of the Vatican will continue its work. It was 24 years ago last Febru ary that Pope Pius XI pronoun ced the words "Laudetur Jesus ChristusH Praised be Jesus Christ into the microphone of the Vatican radio station, thus inaugurating one of the most powerful weapons of the Catholic Church. These words have been pro nounced, day in and day out, every time the station starts broadcasting its daily programs which are beamed throughout the world in 24 different langu ages. The programs are organized by 17 Jesuit fathers who have a handful of secular priests colla borating with them. The programs consist of news casts, full texts of Papal speeche encyclicals. 1 m p o rta n t docu ments issued by the Holy See, religious ceremonies,' interviews conversations, sermons, special broadcasts for the sick, religious concerts, and recital of the rosary. On Sunday, masses are broad cast together with special homi lies in the language of a coun try behind the Iron Curtain. The masses are recited both in the W A ' I A ? ' Lun ana ine uneniai rues. Cannon Used in Test of Aircraft SAN DIEGO, Calif. (UP) A 20-mm cannon is being used by the Convair division of General Dynamics Corp. to test the effect of rain on supersonic aircraft Convair said that various met als and shapes are tested under controlled rain conditions. The company said some materials sur vive only a few seconds at high speeds in rain. : i A sDecial nose on the cannon allows materials being tested to -be fired through the rain for of a second. Speeds can be con-j trolled up to 1,900 miles per hour, or Mach. 2.5. - On the rear of each piece of test material is a tracer element which burns during the test. This gnites a black power charge just after the material has passed through the rain and releases a small parachute. This lowers the tested material undamaged about 1,500 feet from the firing point.
