TO ECONOMIC IN

Preparation OF the District of CO.
lumbia appropriation bill for the next
fiscal year will be begun tomorrow
by the subcomitee of the House Ap-
propriations Committee In charge OF
he measure.
Congressman sisson of Mississippi
head of the subcommittee.
Just as in the case OF the legisla-
i've bill, which is also being consid-
red in subcommittee, efforts will be
.ade to hold down the appropriR-
ions. The economy movement will
,e felt in District appropriations as
other lines. Members are inslstent
hat no more employees than neces-
airy be provided for.
The half-and-half issue. which has
been a feature in connection with
District bills for years, is not ex-
9ected to cut much figure in the COM
ing short session. While some of the
advocates of the abolition OF the half
ind-half plan are likely to be heard
from. they are not expected to make
Tor long time, as they did last sum-
ner.
One reason Is that the opponents Of
The llalf-Rnd-half plan have no hope
of getting the Senate to abolish II.
Another reason Is that there will
be such a rush of business at the
short session that Congress will not
be in a frame of mind to waste much
time in a dispute over the established
system OF dealing with the finances
of the District of Columbia
The District Commissioners are get
ting ready to submit the details of
the estimates to the subcommittee
Officials of the various departments
are being heard daily by the subcom-
mittee in charge OF the Legislative
bill, of which Congressman Byrns is
the head. The officials of the Civil
Service Commission have been before
the subcommittee for the last two
