TRADE COMMISSION
MAY CUT PROBES
Power inquiry Among Those
Involved II Budget Is Re-
duced $3.50, 900.

The Federal Trade Commission may
be compelled to drop several OF its in
vestications because Of the recommenda a.
ton by the Budget BuIe au that s39o,OOU
be cut from the approprl lation the COM
mission requested for l9A3.
Among them is the inquiry into the
power industry. on and on the ironI
pages for four years; the chain store
investigation. going on for three years,
and inquiries into the cots6nseed ano
cement industries.
The Trade Commission wanted
81 ,626. 900 for the fiscal year A933; tne
Budget Bureau replied that 50 ,23o,UUV
would do.
Commissioner Humphrey said yester-
day the commission would not only DC
unable to finish the Investigations IN
queationS-all directed by the Senate
but would be forced to dismiss many
employees unless 1t got more money.
Senators Aid Hoped.
In view of the House action in cut
ting every appropriation bill it has
passed several million dollars below
budget estimates. the commission fears
it might as we'll hang for rent" signs
on several hearing rooms. 1t is hoping,
however. that Senators who sponsored
the threatened inquiries will come to
the rescue. They have been told OF the
situation.
The investigation into the power in
dustry was the result of resolution
introduced by Senator Walsh, Demo-
crat, Montana 1t has been going on
since March, 1928. and already $780,
900 has been spent.
Humphrey, a former member Of the
House from Washington. said there re-
manned several months Of work on the
power inquiry and that the staff OF ex-
perts assembled would have to go unless
the commission gets additional funds.
Commission officials assert that about
1870 employees will have to be dismissed
if only s1,236, 900 is allowed.
Situation Embarrassing.
Another investigation ordered by the
Senate also has placed the commission
in an embarrassing situation. The
Senate last year told it to inquire into
the building materials situation and
directed that the work begin at once
In the past, the commission has gone
ahead after such an order and the
money to pay for the work always has
been allowed The Budget Bureau,
however. said it had no authority to
spend 70,000 in investigating the build
ing materials situation before money
for the inquiry was appropriated.
The commission is trying to get the
$4,000 this year, but If it fails,
Humphrey said the amount would have
to be made up by dismissing employees
10 or more.
The Independent Offices appropriation
bill, in which money for the Trade Com
mission is included, has not been re-
ported to the House II is in the hands
of an appropriations subcommittee.
