Fiscal Huddle
WASHINGTON. June 30 (AV
Congressional fiscal experts went
Into a huddle today over ways of

fiscal year neared an end with only
one of 13 regular approprlnUon bills
cleared by both the senate and the
house.
Only two of the departments will
have cosh wiUi which to oerate
past midnight unless something is
done quickly. Hie two "are Uie
treasury and post Office depart
ments, whose appropriation bill for
the year beginning tomorrow is on
President Truman's desk.
Both senate and house have
passed a stop-vno measure allowing
unflnanced agencies to Incur ex
enses In anticipation of Uielr
pending appropriations. But there
is u question wheUier they can ac
tuary meet their payrolls.
- A senate resolution permitting
them to make actual expenditures
is before the house appropriations
committee. Some members of that
committee arc reluctant to accept it
because It permits expenditures at
the rate contemplated In Uie presi
dent's budget estimates, which Uie
committee hopes to reduce.
The 11 snagged appropriation
bills are Uie main business before

flag over more than 25Af soft coal
mines today and formally restored
the pits to the private owners after
13 months of federal operation.

succeed by July 8, Uie miners are
expected to stay home.
