FACES QUIZ
BY SENATE
To Be Asked to Justify
Slash in Funds
For GaIIinqer

Budget Bureau officials will be
called before the Senate Appro-
priations subcommittee on the Dis
trict supply bill this week to
justify their action in slashing GER
tain items IN the District eSti-
mates-specifically the Gallinger
Hospital item.
This almost unprecedented
move, as far as the District ap-
preparation measure is concerned,
was revealed today by Senator FL
mer Thomas Cd Of Oklahoma,
chairman of the subcommittee,
who declared:
I'D like to see more money
appropriated for that hospital,
and I'd like to know the qualifi-
cations of the employees VhO
passed upon the figures submit.

just how they went about cut

He explained that If a juStifica-
ton can be shown for the action
of the Bureau Budget in reducing
the Commissioners recommends
lions for the hospital from $706,-
900 to $679, 900, he will be salts
fled. It was pointed out however,
that the reduction has been vigor-
ously protested both in and out OF
Congress.
Civic Groups to Appear

HOUSE TO VOTE
ON MEASURE
APRIL Il
Rep. Jenckes Is Absent
as Repeal Plan
Is Reported

Approval of the Red rider"
repeal bill was voted today by
the House District Committee.
Although the vote was not
given out, Representative Mary
T. Norton CD of New Jersey,
chairman of the committee, said
that "the committee was very
favorable to the bill"
Representative Virginia E.
Jenckes CD of Indiana, arch.
enemy of the bill, was not pres
ent at the committee session to-
day.
Although she has refused to
return to the committee the Off
cial transcript of her testimony
on the repeal bill, Mrs. Norton
explained that the hearings had
been ordered printed with Mrs.
Jenckes' testimony headed "un.
revised"
The bill will be brought up on
the House floor, Mrs. Norton
said, on April 81.
The repeal measure is sponsored
by Representative Fred j. Sisson
CD, Of New York, and has the
approx of the local school board
and superintendent of schools, DR..
Frank Ballou.
Floor Fight Ahead
Committee approval of the Sis.
son proposal will be only a minor
step in the progress of the meas
ure, since it is known that q hot
floor fight will take place when
the bill reaches that point.
Mrs. Jenckes and Representa-
tive Blanton Cd, Texas, will lead
the opposition on the floor, and
they have promised to utilize every
conceivable weapon to defeat the
proposition.
The Texan has been sniping at
the Sisson bill ever since it was
introduced and has crammed the
Record with long speeches against
the measure and local school Of
ficialS.
The attitude of the District
Committee on the controversy
was revealed during a recent
meeting when Mrs. Jenckes
sought to have 268 pages Of tes-
timony given on the Communism
question during the hearings be-
for the House Appropriations
subcommittee on the District sup
ply bill included in the record
of the hearings held on the Sis
son measure.
Her motion to that effect died,
however, because of lack Of a
second.

Ken M urray
Says:

: According to high AdminiStra-
ton officials, Congress is NOV.
ing full speed ahead in order to
finish its tasks and go home
by the first of June What
gets me is why Congress should
be anxious to take a vacation,
when we're the ones who are
really Overtaxed.
While both Congress and the
schools are out in June, that's
about as far as the comparison
goes At least, the school
kids improve every year.
OF course, when the children
get home they have to show the
folks that they've passed their
exams The average pOliti-
clan gets by with the home folks
by merely passing the buck.
so REMEMBER:
You can lead . politician to
office but you can't make him
think.
