Republican Leaders Plan
Cutting of Expenditures

Washington, June 23.-House
and Senate leaders are deter
mined to do all possible to hold
the appropriations which must
be hurried through in the next
several weeks down to the low
est practicable figures.
While greater reductions
could be made were it possible
to devote two or three months
to the bills, it is certain that the
cuts in expenditures will be
large,
The army appropriation bill,
reported recently from the
House military committee, has
been reduced by about s400,00O,-
600.
The navy bill will be reduced
below the figure at which it was
reported in the last Congress.
Other important reductions are
to be made.
