Democrat Senator Says Harding Administration Actually Appropriated Half Billion More Than in 1915
What Savings There Are, He Says, Were by Con- gress' Reducing Army and Navy.

Washington, July 2s..- Republican claims of economy in federal appro. priations and expenditures were de- nied by Senator Overman of North Carolina. ranking democrat of the senate appropriations committee, in | statement today in the senate compar. ing present and past appropriations
 Calls It Pipe Dream"
 All the big headlines which have been appearing in the newspapers showing the great savings made by the budget system under the Harding administration were nothing but camoufage and pipe dreams" said Senator Overman referring to recent statements by Chairman Warren and Madden of the senate and house ap- propriations committees respectively.
 More Than In 1915
 Appropriations under the repubn- can administration for the present year were s5e3,ooo,ooo more than under the Wilson administration in 1915 for actual running expenses of the government excluding war time obligations according to comparisons presented by Senator Overman. He said it was more fair to compare the ls22-23 appropriations with the peace time period of 1915 than to make the comparison with appropriations of last year, as was done by the repub- lican committee chairmen
 When Cuts Are Made
 Tt Is true, as stated by Senator Warren" said Senator Overman, that the appropriations foS the fiscal year lof 1923 are s31s.ooo, ooo less thu, 1922, but by analyzing this statement 1t is found that greater part of 1t was on account of a saving by con. gress in decreasing the army and navy and charging the good roads item to the postal appropriations- all of which are necessary reforms brought about by peace"
 Excluding from the present appro- priations all war aftermath major ex- pense, Senator Overman haid that for the legitimate expense" of the gov this years appropriations were s1,329, 100000 as against s7s3.- 900, ,o00 for 1915.

GRABLE DENIES STRIKE OF
 MAINTENANCE MEN LIKELY
 BUT THREAT LS REPORTED
CAUSE Of ROMA WRECK CAN'7BE ASCER7AINED U. s. and Italian Experts Disagree-Evidence Was
 Lost in Fire

Washington, July 2s.-American and Italian technical experts are in disagreement as to the most probable cause of the wreck of the semi-rigid Italian built army dirigible, Roma February 21, last, near Norfolk, Va. with the loss Of 34 lives. The final report of the investigating board em- bodying the Italian as we'll as the American conclusions, was made pub lie today. with an accompanying statement from Secretary Weeks de- claring there was no controversy be- tween American and Italian authori- ties.
 The statement says that all the facts of the disaster can never be known. Those who might have known what sent the ship plunging to earth in a swift nose dive to be destroyed by fire on thes aground, per ished in the wreckage. Physical evil dence that might have told the story was consumed in te flames.
 The air service report draws from the disaster certain definite lessons. It holds that in future such airships as the Roma should be made so that the ships commander could drop all or any part of the ships ballast tn- stantly; so that he also could drop all gasoline fuel tanks in the same way and so that he could cut off all motors instantly with & master switch. The board found that no bal last had been dropped before the Roma struck earth: that two of her six Liberty motors were still running, pulling her earthward and that the gasoline fuel as well as the hydrogen in the big bag was responsible for the terrific fire that followed the crash.
