WASHINGTON, March . 30. An
Inkling of ''hat la happening to
the economy program may be found
In the old suck-
trick method by
which congress
now appears to
be economising
on federal ap
propriations but
Is not. The house
appropria 1 1 o n 8
committee cour
ageously econo
mized on appro
priation bills.
The committee
men really stud-
Paul Mallon led expenditures
and did & sincere minor Job or cur
tailing. This was big news and at
tracted big headlines.
After that, a quiet little process of
wriggling out of the economies got
started. First, the house membership
voted to restore a few of the com
mittee cuts. Then the senate com
mittee voted back a few more. Fin
ally the senate Itself, In a burst of
generosity, not only wrecked the en
tire economy work of the house
committee but voted extensive ap
propriations even beyond the bud
get. It you thlnic this la a minor mat
ter, consider the fact that the sen
ate has Increased the house appro
priation bills by 2, 179,000,000 so
far this year.
The Interesting part of It Is that
the restorations attract little atten
tion. They are made Item by Item.
Hence they are of great interest
only to particular localities and
Interests affected by each Item. 'They
are not voted up or down In bulk.
Congress apparently desires It so.
Today you can find a foot-high
tack of report on appropriation
bills by house and senate commit
tees. These are published In the
congressional record. But nowhere
wlU you find a compilation of the
mounts of the bills as finally pass
ed with all the restorations, unless
you flgve it out for yourself or
consult an expert of either the
house or senate appropriations com
mittee. This does not mean congress Is
concealing anything. The fl gures
are available. But the point Is that,
while the purported economies' are
handed out with eclat,, you will
tiave to dig to find that they did
not last long.
