fund for erosion control. The re-
action of the Soil Erosion Service.
as set forth today by a high official
Of the Agriculture Department, was:
Thank you, but $80,000.00O will
be plenty for the next two years
maybe too much"
Overcoming an instinct to pinch
themselves to see If they were awake
for 1t Is an undisputed tradition that
Government bureaus hardly ever ad-
nit they get enough money-the OBJ
servers probed for the reason behind
1t all.
They we're told officials hope to
make soil erosion control on Q size

Government endeavors and fear that
II too much money is poured at once
there might be a loss Of efficiency.
This, in turn, might lead to Incl
dents drawing criticism and damage
the chances Of making the program
