the statute books before this session
OF congress ends, if efforts OF lawyers
in botn houses prevail.
Palms for a new bill which will be
reported to the senate are being
made, Senator Mccormick, Illinois
author of one pending budget measure
and chairman OF the special budget
committee stated today. The house
already has passed bill. Greatest
difficulties will arise when the two
branches of congress try to come to
gether on details, but ultimate sue
cess is predicted.
| Budget legislation has been brought
forward by congress as part OF Its
drive to reduce the high cost of gov
ernment Heavy pressure is being
exerted by party leaders to get a law
through before the national conven
tion in June.
Despite this pressure, however, con-
gress is stalled over details although

Senator McCormick's new measure
would put the budget Office in the

president has too much work. already
"a majority of our committee and
of the senate is for budget system
of some kind" Senator Mccormick
said today.

prove"
Several members of the committee
want legislative instead of an
executive budget This idea favored
by Senator Smoot, republican, and
King. democrat, both of Utah, is to
set up a technical staff of account
ants solely responsible TO congress.
Framing of the annual estimates and
checking up OF executive depart
ments would be the two tasks of
such a staff.
Il think that is what we will have
to come to-" Senator King said to-
day. '-The budget machinery mus
be entirely divorced from the execu.

congress-, Carter Glass, soon to take
his seat in the senate, probably will
be added to the special budget COM
mittee. He is said to favor the Nc
