The House began consideration
of the District appropriation bill
this afternoon. Debate was linn
tied by agreement to two hours.
[ CONGRESSMAN Louis c. Cramton
of Michigan, acting chairman of
the subcommittee, which held hear
ings on the bill, outlined the diff
ferent items.
Congressmen Moore Of Virginia
and Blanton of Texas criticised
the methods of the Appropriation
Committee in bringing up supply

report, and reports of the hear
ings.
FaVOrs Former Law.
In his speech on the bill, Con.
gresham Moore advocated taking
away the District appropriations
from the Jurisdiction of the Budget
Bureau. He said:
II am thoroughly convinced now,
as I have been for some time, that
mistake was made in including
the District of Columbia in the
budget law, and that the sensible
thing would be to amend that law
and go back to the former law I'M
der which the Commissioners sub.
mitted their estimates directly to
Congress.
"If I could have my way, not
acting upon any theory. but for
the purpose of bringing Congress
into a common sense relation to the
District, I would amend the budget
law by excluding the District from
it's operation, and in addition Gre
ating joint committees of the two
Houses on the District of Colum-
bia, and vest that joint committee
with complete jurisdiction to formu.
late and propose legislation relative
to the District, including appropria-
ton bills"
Criticises Subcommittee.
,, In speaking Of the haste with
which the Appropriations Committee
brought the District bill before the
House for action, Congressman
Moore said:
"The House is now expected to
drive ahead and pass bill freshly
printed, with little or no prospects
of any real scrutiny or analysis of
the various subjects and items that
are involved"
Congressman Moore criticised the
