Martin B. Madden OF Illinois, veteran
chairman OF the House appropriations
committee. bore. single-handed. yestcr-
day the brunt of one Of the most con.
centrated attacks ever launched In the
House against the Federal Govern
ments budget system.
For more than an hour the house lis
tened to Luce OF Massachusetts, and
johnson OF Washington attacking what
they described as an encroachment of
the Budget Bureau on the prerogatives
OF Congress: to Garrett OF Tennessee
the Democratic leader who expressed
apprehension over It's power: and to
Madden, vigorous defender of the
budget. who declared their fears
groundless.
Madden's Defense.
Chaos prevailed before the budget
Madden said, and the Secretary Of the
Treasury performed pcrfunctory
ministerial duty OF gathering all of the
practical and idealistic estimates" He
then transmitted all these unrelated
unco -ordinated. extravagant mass fig.
ures to Congress to unscramble"
The Congress was no better organ

than was the executive branch OF the
Government which sent IT," he added
But Luce and Johnson took a dlf-
ferent view. Both. as we'll as Garrett
said they had no fault TO find with

The practical result OF. the budget
system, Luce declared. Is that II holds
the whip hand" over the committees
OF Congress. The director virtually
exercises the veto power over a very
considerable part OF legislation. he said
Greater Than Veto"
johnson declared the Budget Bureau
was developing Into a third House OF
Congress. with more power under GER
tain conditions than the Senate and
the House" The bureau not only exer-
cises a veto power, he added. but II Is
my belief that II is a power more for
midable than the Executive veto"
Garrett said the point causing him
apprehension was that OF possibly plac-
ing In the budget the question OF de-
termining policies that should be de-
ciced by Congress. he said that the
budget frequently reported on bills un-
necessarily.
If we owe France, tor instance, a
debt. We either owe II or do not. and II
is not question of whether this Is in
accord with some fiscal plan" He ar
gued that many OF the measures en-
bodied matters OF congressional policy
