DAWES REPORT IS
PLAINLY DECEPTIVE
Alleged Saving to the Govern
ment Claimed Is Declared
to Be All Bunk"
tsy The AssoeIatea Preaal

WASHINGTON, May s-Sharp demo-
cratic attacks were made in the house
today on the report by Director Dawes
of the budget bureau, transmitted to the
appropriations committee by President
Harding setting forth reductions in gov
ernment expenditures.
Representative Byrns, Tennessee. rank
ing democrat of the committee, who had
asked for specific information in a resolu-
ton. charged that careful analysis of the
report showed that the figures were
plainly deceptive and that they had
been manipulated in an effort to mis-
lead the public into the belief that some
economy has been erected by the adj
ministration. +"
Joining in the attack Representative
Byrns, democrat, South Carolina, also a
member of the appropriations committee,
declared that If the President had had
opportunity to examine 'the itemized
statement of alleged savings constituting
the total of S1S6.00o, 600, he would dis
cover that it is pure bunk"
Defending the report, Representative
Mondell. Of Wyoming, the republican
leader, asserted that Mr.. Byrns (Ten-
nessee) was quibbling as to details Of
savings effected" and that some Of the
economies had resulted quite as much
from vigilance Of congress as from the
activities of the budget bureau director :
Chairman Madden of the appropriations
committee said somebody had raised the
question of veracity." and that while Mr.
Byrns had mentioned deficiency estimates
for this year OF SAT-, 1000, 00o it was fact
that only s12 600. 600 Of this total could
be attributed To the Harding administ tra-
tion. the balance being hangover.
such multitude of figures hurled at
members that seemed able to grasp them
off-hand. Mr.. Byrns enlivened the pro
ceedings, however, by informing the
house that Director Dawes had claimed
a saving Of $4,000 on "the salaries of
congressman" and then asked II they
could say where.
Here's an illustration Of what Director
Dawes saved the taxpayers, the South
Carolina member shouted He claims a
saving of 81. 500 authorized to be paid the
widow of Senator Proctor. who died in
1905 Mrs Proctor declined to accept 1t.
She died some years ago. There is no
one whom ii could be pafd-and yet he
saved it
In the same. fashion, Mr.. Bryns con-
tinued, Director Dawes claimed to have
saved $4,000. ''in building canal from
the Atlantic to the Pacific and 500. 600.
cannot now be used, for enlarging the
capitol grounds.
Characterlzing alleged savings as bud
get bunk" Mr.. Byrns said 1t was re-
grettable that the President should be
misled by claims of savings "of the pa
per variety and that Ii he believed the
budget bureau he should, in justice to
the taxpayers. urge congress to declare
dividend"

OPPOSE LEASE
MUSCLE SHOALS
Unless Promise to Furnish Fer
tilizers at Half Present
Price Is Guaranteed.
fny The Associated Prssa)

WASHINGTON. May S--opposition to
any proposal for private development Of
the governments properties at Muscle
Shoals. Alabama, which promised" farm
ers fertilizers at half their present prices
and failed TO guarantee" the reduction,
was voiced today by, Charles L. Parsons.
former chief chemical engineer for the
War Department. before the senate agri-
culture committee. He declared his be-
lief that cheapening the prices Of fer
tilizers by production of those commod-
tiles at Muscle Shoals could never be ac-
complished and said Henry Ford s
dream to that end could not come
true"
DR.. Parsons contended that the power
projects should be brought to their max
imum point of development to aid indus
try in the South but warned the COM
mittee against accepting any offer on the
promise of the bidder to manufacture
fertilizers at cheaper prices.
The witness said he doubted the authen-
ticity of reports that new process had
been discovered which would cut the cost
price of fertilizers in half.
Studies of the various processes for the
fixation of nitrogen from the air, made
for the government when he was in
Europe for the war department, DR.. Par
son testified, convinced him that the
Cyanamid methods were essentially obso-
lescent The fact that nitrate plant No
two at Muscle Shoals was designed to
operate by the Cyanamid process, he said,
reduced the commercial value Of that
property to a point where its best re-
turn to the government rested in keep
ing it IN stand-by condition in time OF
emergency
Nitrate plant number 1, the witness
declared, could be operated successfully
as a commercial undertaking and was, he
added, contrary to public belief in no
sense a failure. 1t was intended for
operation by the Haber process, he ex-
planned, and could be made into profitable
establishment by an expenditure of about
81, 600, 900 for improved me hinery. A
willingness TO buy plant number 1, buy
or lease the Waco quarry and create
corporation TO engage in the manufactur-
ing chemical business on commercial
scale as proposed in the offer he made
to congress. was expressed by the wit
ness.
