Majority Leader Mondell
Points to Record Made
In the First Month.

In a formal statement reviewing
the work of Congress during the
nrst month of the extra session, Ma
tority Leader Mondell claimed yes
terday that the House has made an
unprecedented record"
He said the House had effected
saving of $1,000. 900. 900 in the
amounts carried in the six genera,
supply bills which failed at the las,
session and which have been rushed
through during the thirty legisla-
tive days of the extra session.
Add to this sum the $450,000, 900
cut off the sl.20o.o00. 900 asked for
the Railroad Administration, Mr..
Mondell continued. and the total
savings made by the Republicans,
as compared with the bills passed
by the Democratic House, aggregate
nearly $L500, 200, 900.
Doubtless anticipating Democratic
criticism that these reductions had
been made at a sacrifice of efficiency
In governmental activities. the major
ity leader asserted that the bills
have received careful and business
like consideration both in commit
tee and on the floor The reductions
have not been made recklessly, but
after due consideration"
He added that no legitimate, es-
sential or useful public service has
been inJuriously curtailed by the re-
auctions that have been made"
