WHY? 1EFENSE OHM IS DEFENDED AS can ttrjufd from pa.ge one? Roosevelt's estimate of $8,424, 000.000, House passage yesterday by 252 to 131 of the Gavagan bill making lynching a federal crime had been anticipated, but southern Democrats in the sen ate announced they were deter mined to filibuster the message to death. Oppose Budget Survey Although no revenge was in volved, house Democratic chief tains simultaneously hung up a red light against the Harrison resolution to create a joint con gressional committee io comb all budget recommendations, in cluding those for defense, be fore any appropriation or tax measures are passed. The sen ate adopted this proposal yes terday without a roll call. Administration leaders in the house took the view the survey might be all right for future congresses, but the house has several supply bills ready and they do not intend to hold them up for a joint inquiry. Meanwhile, the house appro priations committee was report ed to have voted secretly against letting any of its subcommittees exceed the president's spending recommendations. Many congressmen saw in this move an attempt to show that the separate budget inquiry proposed by Senator Harrison (D Miss, would be unneces sary. The action followed a trip io the White House by the house Democratic steering committee. whose members reported Mr, Roosevelt told them to stav within his budget so that the national debt iirait of $45,000.- 000,000 would not have to be raised.
