Congress Claiming WASHINGTON '(VPl) The 88th Congress wound up Hs first session as usual claiming tn have chopped the bejabbers out of the Presidwit's budget. Any way you look at it, the claim is misleading if not downright phony. - ; About all the law makers can say for a fact is that they have trimmed the lete President Ken nedy's year-old . requests . for new money, and by a consid erable sum. though even this must be suallaucd with salt. As for intimations this reduc tion means a Cut in the govern ment budget. President Johnson already has blon that nut of j the water.

And he said furthermore that Congress, in approving military pay boosts, school aid, and other new programs already has "built in" spending in creases for next year totalling about S3 5 billion. This is an old story, but one not generally understood even by congressmen. Some lawmak ers who do understand it would rather pretend that they don't. It is nicer to be for economy, to support "budget cuts," and yet to vote for popular pro grams that mean added federal spending. After Kennedy sent Congress last January his plans to spend a record $! 8 billion in the 12 month period that now is half gone House ftepublicans set up an "economy task force" to OPINS TONITI AT 4:45 Ends TUESDAY! .

The task force shortly an nounced that it knew where to cut appropriations requests by SIO billion to $15 billion and ac tual spending during the new fiscal year by $4 billion to S6 billion. Democrats said the Republi cans were just stealing their thunder. Anyway, with both part-pitching in on behalf of us taxpayers, most appropriations wound up being cut. Task force Chairman Frank T. Bow, R-Ohio, estimated to day that such reductions dur ing the year totaled about SB. 4 billion. Bow one who under stands the difference between appropriations and spending and is honest about it con ceded that the immediate spending effect would be far less than that, running maybe to a fourth of the total. Bow said most of the rest of the cuts would show up to the taxpayers' credit in subsequent years. Maybe so. But the rec ord shows this doesn't always work out.

Officials said there would be no attempt to salvage the 20,-000-ton liner, which had been re fitted at a cost of $840,000 just before the tragic Christmas cruise from Southampton, Eng land. The Lakonia lies more than a mile deep in the Atlantic about 275 miles west of Moroc co. Three tugs were trying to tow it into port when the ship, described by lugmen as a "burned - out. stinking hulk," rolled over and sank. The sinking ended hopes for investigations into the cause of the blaze. The controversy over the fire and the rescue operation con tinued to boil with the arrival in Tilbury, England, of 265 sur vivors 124 passengers and 141 crew members. Almost all the passengers were British. "It was absolute chaos," said Mrs. Jean Wendt of London, ac cusing the crew of failing to carry out its rescue duties. But one of the Lakonia stew ards.
