the court, including applications for
Writs of certiorari.
This is the first direct move on the
part of the committee considering the
Presidents bill to obtain information
from the Supreme Court itself. Some
of the members of the committee be-
lieve justices of the Supreme Court
should be asked to appear at the hear
ing and give the committee the benefit
of their opinions regarding the pending
bill.
1t is understood that one or more of
the justices have been approached by
Senators in this connection. There
were reports that Chief Justice Hughes
may be the chief witness next week,
but Chairman Ashurst Of the COM
mittee said today that so far as he
knew none of the justices had ac-
cepted an invitation to appear.
William Draper Lewis of Philadel-
phia, director of the American Law
Institute. was the first witness before
the committee this morning. 1t was
expected that he would be followed on
the stand by Dr. Charles Grove Haines
of the University of California at Los
Angeles.
Lewis gave his unqualified support
to the Presidents plan to increase the
membership of the Supreme Court by
adding new justices in every case

House Appropriations Body
Cuts Budget Unit Figure

BY the Associated Press.

BY lne associated Press.
The House Appropriations Commit
tee recommended appropriations total
ing Sl2l ,222 900 today to finance the
State, Justice, Commerce and Labor
Departments for the fiscal year be-
ginning July /.
The total, making up the fourth
major appropriation measure of the
session, was S3,418405 in excess Of the
amount made available for the current
year, but was S3,067,887 below the
sum recommended by the Budget
Bureau.
In reporting the bill to the House,
the committee said the increase was
due wholly to additional sums re-
qulred by the Labor Department for
grants to States for children's aid
under the social security program and
contemplated Improvements of the Air
Commerce Bureaus aids TO navigation
Approve $4,000, 600 Expenditure.
The bureau was authorized 10 spend
s5,OOO000 for mOdernHing existing
aids and constructing new ones dur
ing the rext two years. Only $1,000
600 Of this amount was appropriated
this year, but the bureau was au-
thorlzed to make contracts involving
the additional $4,000 900.
OF the total appropriated, the Com
merce Department gets S4O,45I ,00O
Justice, S39,425, 900; Labor, S23583,-
900, and State, S17,763,OO0.
The committee said the State De-
partment item did not represent truly
the cost of operating that branch of
government because 1t included proyl-
slonS for contributions by the Govern
ment TO all forms of international or
CARNATIONS, etc"
Net Cost to Taxpayer.
Deductlng those OUTLAWS and reckon
ing receipts of the department. the
committee said, the net cost to the
taxpayer Of its operation was about
$40 100000
Contrary to its usual custom OF ad-
herring strictly TO recommendations of
the budget or reducing them, the COM
mlttee approved $4,000 900 for the Fed

estimate. Asserting the hearings we're
'replete' with evidence of the tremen-
dous increase of work the bureau was
called on to perform, the committee
said 1t had felt "impelled" to provide
additional funds.
Another item in the Justice De-
partment appropriation was sl1066.-
$40 for maintenance of all Federal
penal and correctional institutions, a
reduction Of approximately s2,472 900
from this years figure.
Fund for Fish Hatcheries.
What the committee termed the
most substantial changes effected IN
the entire bill" involved approval OF
an appropriation of s26O,000 for COM
pletion Of construction of fish hatch
cries authorized in 1880 by the Jones'
White act. Twenty hatcheries we're
built under that law, but II stations
and 2 laboratories remain to be built
and the committee recommended their
completion in l93O-4O.
