These committees re solve differences between house and senate versions of the bills. The four appropriation mea sures may be immobilized until the house returns from its cur rent recess Sept. 21. Pattern Set With the defeat of the senate economy bloc s big effort yester day, the pattern of congressional action on the budget this year is practically set. Before passage of the $14,790. 380,478 armed services appropria tion bill, administration forces in the senate succeeded in blocking rider aimed at balancing the fed eral budget. It would have re quired the president to hold gov ernment spending an average of five to 10 per cent below his spending estimates, which totaled about $42,000,000,000. .here were 49 votes for the fLand agamst J!i1ut,a tw 'h'f. vote was needed for adoption.

Office Building Site Selected Salem Allfr 30 (IP1 Ollielr a tion by the slafe board of control Tuesday resulted in selection of the Jensen block near'the labor temple in west side Portland for the state's proposed $2,500,000 of fice building. The board's action ended weeks of controversy as to whether the consolidated state offices should be housed on the east or the west side in Portland. Gov. Douglas McKay, Secretary of state EarhT. Newbry. and State treasurer Wal ter J. Parson voted unanimously to exercise the 60-day option of fered by the Jensen Investment company. The option calls for offers of up to S325.000 for the site. The Jensen block Is bounded by S. W. Columbia and Clay streets and 4th and 5th avenues. Gov. McKay favored the loca tion as convenient to those who must do business with the state and convenient to state employes. "The state offices, such as tne industrial accident commission. handle a heavy volume of busi ness. All the state ottices win go into one building just south of the congested area. Newbry favored the west side location because it would "remain the center of business ... as in dustry and residential districts develop on the east side. Pearson favored the civic cen ter location on the east side be cause it is' a less congested area.

Testifying in the climax of the senate's "five per center" Investigation, Vaughan said he received "two or three thousand dollars" from Hells for the 1946 democratic campaign and "probably not over $2,000" which had been collected by Maragon from other persons. The White House general said he had turned the money over to Roy Harper, Missouri stato democratic chairman. Vaughan also conceded that he probably used the president's name without Mr. Truman's knowledge or approval to help Maragon make a business trip to Europe in 1945.

Hunt and other alleged "five per centers" and "fixers."
