CONGRESS received q thorough
- scolding for the way it has been
squandering billions of dollars, bring
ing the nation to the verge Of bank
ruptcy, In memorial addressed to it
by the Federation of American Busi-
ness, a national organization with
headquarters In Chicago. The docu-
ment was presented to the senate by
Senator James e. Watson Of Indiana,
and he asked that 1t be read from the
desk instead of being merely fled.
"The very existence of the nation is
at stake and your constituents, alive
to your every action in this crisis, will
accept no excuses and no extenu-
ations," was the conclusion Of the de-
mand voiced In the memorial for re-
duction Of government expenditures
and reduction of taxation.
1.-THE tremendous increase in the cost
Of government is the result Of three
major causes" the memorial contend
ed. First, government competition d.
rectly or indirectly with the business
activities of its citizens, and the abb
sorption by increased taxation of losses
thus incurred; second, new regulatory
or social services not contemplated In
our scheme Of political administration.
but taken on In increasing volume In
recent years. and, third. Independent
boards and commissions, under direc-
ton Of no established executive depart
ment and frequently financed with re-
volving funds that free them Of United
States treasury supervision. The whole
pattern Of government is being changed
without approval or even discussion by
our citizenship"

appeared before house committee to-
warn members that sure way to de-
lay restoration Of the opportunity to
work Is to divert too great portion
Of private funds tepublic purposes.
Public expenditures state,
and local-now total some thirteen bill
lion dollars annually. Mr.. Emery re-
minded the congressman who have be-
fore them the task Of drawing up the
new tax bill with its inevitably higher
rates. OF that huge total, Mr.. Emery
pointed out, only ten billion is met by
immediate taxation, the remainder be-
ing met by continuous borrowing.
"Nearly one-fifth Of the national in
come is taken for public purposes" he
explained, "and we thus face rising
taxation with declining incomes"

NURMT'S STATUS
TO Be DECIDED
This AFTERNOON
By STUART CAMERON
United Press Sports EDITOR

LOS ANGELES, July. %. - The
Paavo Nurmi case, bitterest inter-
national sports controversy in many
years, was to come up for official
consideration today, two days be-
fore the start of the Olympic games.
The International Amateur feder-
alton was to hold its opening ses-
sion in the afternoon and may make
an immediate ruling as to Nurmis
eligibility.
The brilliant Finnish distance
star was declared ineligible for am
ateur competition as a result of
complaint that he accepted exhorb-
liant expense money for running.
Subsequent applications for his
reinstatement have been given no
action. Now, with the International
games only a few hours away, a
definite ruling has been promised.
1t is possible a decision may be de-
ferred until the Friday meeting Of
the I. A. A. F.
The fight today shaped up as in
volving Finland against the feder-
alton. No nation will admit that
it made the original complaint. In
deed, sports officials of suspected
nations have declared their ma
tional declarations had no part in
the suspension handed down to
the Phantom Finn. Thus it seems
TO be the whole matter is an inter-
nal one-a fight within the I. A.
A. F. itself.
America will side with Nurmi and
Finland, the United Press has
learned authoritatively. If, how
ever, the voting on the reinstate-
ment plea is close, the U. S. vote
will count for little Every mem
ber nation has one ballot, and the
American vote means no more than
that of Uruguay.
That Finnish athletic heads, and
Nurmi himself, are bitter about the
matter, would seem to go without
saying. Nurmi has adopted con-
sistent if annoying attitude of refus-
al to comment on his case. This
writer attempted TO interview Paavo
both at Hoboken and at the Olym-
pic Village but got little more than
two hearty handshakes and a cou-
pie of wry and wistful smiles.
