Senate conferees today.
The conference reconvenes at 3
3. 10. today, with reinsurance that
the new legislation will be- whipped
into shape before il adjourns.
The fiscal controversy over the
relative costs Of the House and Sem
ate measures was partially clarified
at the opening session Of the con.
ferees.
The major point Of difference be-
tween the cost figures Of the Budget
Bureau and those Of the Comp
froIIer Generals office were de-
veloped with reference to the House
Bill
Sc 900 900 Difference Seen
Joseph Il. Woodside, representing
Comptroller General McCarl, told
the committee that there is not more
than $1,000 900 difference In the
costs Of the two bills.
He construed the law applying
the salary increases In q different
manner than the Budget Bureau
experts.
Variations IN cost figures, It was
brought out, revplves largely about
these two different methods Of
computation.
So FAR as can be learned. the
Budget Bureau has not changed
its estimate from $25,000.OO0 as the
cost OF the Senate bill.
The Comptroller Generals expert,
on the other hand. still maintained
that this bill viii not mean an ad.

Up to Experts
The new bin Is eing written by

Owing to the Administration at

his lower cost figures. however.
hope remains that the Senate bin
