Senate Democrats
Fail To Back Quick
Billion ExpenseCut
But Byrnes of S. c., Promises SSOO,OOO,-
900 Savings to Government by
the First of July

WASHINGTON, Jan. % (UP)
Democrats reiterated to-
day from the bold position taken
by their colleague, Senator Mil
lard Tydings. Maryland. for an
billion dollar cut in
government expenditures an d
thereby drew taunts and jeers
from the Republicans.
At a party conference yester-
day they decided to. reduce appro7
priations to government income at
t h e earliest practicable time,
which was not at all what Tyd-
ings proposed. But the Maryland
senator accepted the verdict of his
party. 1t means that real savings
to balance the budget must come
in the special session, not now.
Thus ended the one-day "taX-
payers filibuster" with which the
young Maryland senator stirred
up the senate Thursday and so
his party that they
called the conference yesterday.
TyG:Lgs went into the senate
chamber from the conference and
proposed to withdraw his resolu-
ton and substitute for it the mild
err resolution drafted by his col
leagues. Then Republicans decid-
ed they would make capital of the
Democratic dilemma.
Senator Hamilton F. Kean, Re-
publican, New Jersey, disclosed
the plot by objecting to withdraw
al Of the resolution. Vice Presi-
dent Charles Curtis stood by Kean
to the amusement of the galleries
and the discomfort Of Tydings,
and then Republicans proceeded
to play with the Democrats as a

cat with a mouse. They leased
and chided.
Finally, after considerable of
this, they relented and let the
Maryland senator withdraw his
resolution.
T h g substitute resolution sets
forth that it "iS the declared pol
icy OF the senate that the appro-
priationS in the aggregate shall be
reduced at the earliest practicable
time to a sum equal to that of the
estimated revenue and that the
appropriations committee is in
sructed to make a survey of all
appropriations bills and to make
reductions therein wherever pos
sible without inpairing the eff
cheney of essential services and
conforming to a policy Of strict
est economy"
1t was still pending for a vote
when the senate adjourned last
night.
Democrats were quick to recov-
er from the Republican baptism Of
sarcasm and Senator Kenneth Nc
Kellar, Tennessee, offered an
amendment to the pending billion
dollar past office treasury depart
ment appropriation bill to cut in
half the $5O,OO0,000 public build
ings appropriation.
The Democratic objective, it
was revealed during the debate, is
10 slash between $35, 100000 to
$5O,O00,0OO from the 1851, OOO,-

these men are working with in

In departments where the mum.
