her Of the appropriations committee.

Mondeu. Wyoming. the republican
leader. In his claim OF savings, had
made Director OF the Budget Dawes
a piker in the economy game" He
added that the republicans pretend
ed economy was only a smoke
screen" TO deceive the people and
they knew that as the end Of The
fiscal year approached they would
have TO borrow money % meet ex-
pendltures.

The people will not know Il until af-
t. the next election. IN the moal-
time. and in between time. they Will
