" FREQUENT CRITICISM , .. . The- practice of. deadline spend ing by government agencies, .us ually on a smaller scale, has been a subject of congressional criti cism for years. Mansfield said the amount obli gated last Thursday was 575 mil lion dollars and .that this was more-than half the total amount ear-marked during all of June. He said the Defense Department thus gained legal authority' to carry the 575'million dollars Into the present fiscal year and avoid ed tho congressional order for a turnback of all except 200 mil lions on hand. . "SHENANIGANS' ' . Mansfield, a Foreign Relations committeeman, said last Thurs day s transaction "amounts to nothing more than deliberate shenanigans, incredible shenani gans practiced on the American peopla and on Congress.' "The Defense Department," he said, ' apparently thinks it can avoid an express prohibition of Congress by the pretense of obi gating huge amounts of aid money on the last day of the fiscal year and then, if it so de sires, unobligating the same amount later and keeping it ly ing around available, for some future time.

Marlene is- being introduced during hoc current . engage ment at the swank Cafe de Paris by a different celebrity nightly. Bessie, Laborite mem ber of Parliament and presi dent of the Professional Box ers Assn., was the barker Tues day night. Lady Docker, booked to . balk next week, was on hand for a preview. When Bessie curled her 50-40-50 frame into a bow, Norah grabbed, her multimil lionaire husband and her furs and headed for her gbld trimmcd Daimler, squawking "I'm furious." Lady D. has garnered head lines in the past by entertain ing miners on her spouso's yacht and shooting marbles with working girls' clubs. But Tuesday night she demanded of the club management: "How dare you ask me to Introduce" Dietrich after Mrs. Braddock. You'll never see my face in this place again.'.' Bossie took the Docker exit calmly and went on with her work. Wearing a dark gray suit and the bronze medallion of a boxer, she told the fash ionable audience, "This isn't my way. of life." She said she was doing the . t.urn to help British'Amcrican relations. She 'said she'd reciprocate by hav ing Marlene to' lunch at the House of Commons .next week. "I've been chasing you -for weeks," Marlene told Bessie later. "I just want to get you alone and talk politics with you." What do a pair of 55-year-olds care about marbtes anyway?
