need for proposed expenditures
particularly when new or increased
estimates are presented.
In the Banking and Currency
Committee, and in other committees,
we deliberately bring in people on
different sides of question to testi-
fy," the Colorado Senator continued.
THE basis of all legislation is in
formation. The Appropriations
Committee is the most important,
and yet it is the one that, as a
general rule, hears only one side.
The taxpayers are not representa-
before the committee"
Are Officials Concerned.
The Senator explained that while
committee members have an op-
portunity to cross examine wit
nesses, the persons who appear on
specific items are nearly always the
officials directly concerned with the
work to be carried on
The House Committee, he said,
does more thorough job of analyz-
ing budget requests, because the
supply bills originate in that branch
and the members have more time to
inquire into details When a supply
bill reaches the Senate the delib-
erations frequently are confined to
a limited number of major items,
and to estimates not allowed by
the House.
If Congress should decide against
setting up joint budget investigat-
ing service for both houses, it still
would be possible for one branch to
consider increasing it's technical
staff to make such investigations.
ut is alright for the Executive
Branch of the Government to have
Its budget agency" said Senator
Adams, but there should be a legis-
lative agency to make a recheck,
and to be responsible only to Con-
gress."

Miami Beach Orders

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Nov. IL
Persons appearing on the streets

and sticky with suntan oil provide
a situation which, in the opinion
of the City Council. is "unsatisfac-

Accordingly, an ordinance adopted

robes extending from shoulders to

II ChrysIer Plants Grouped
Into Bargaining Unit
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The National Labor Relations
Board grouped II of the Chrysler
Corps IA motor car plants in e
single collective bargaining unit yes
terday and formally certified the
c. I. O.'s United Auto Workers
Union as the exclusive bargaining
agent.
The c. I. O.'s bargaining powers
were extended by the board decision
to include the production and main
tenance employees of twelfth plant
at Newcastle, Ind, but the union
was not given exclusive bargaining
rights at Newcastle for all workers.
The tool and die sinkers were
given a separate bargaining unit at
the Newcastle plant and the A. F.
LIS International Association of
Machinists was certified as the bar
gaining agency desired by the tool
and die sinkers.
The board took no action at this
time with respect to the two re-
manning plants at Evansville and
Kokomo Ind, pending a decision on
objections to the results of board
election in those plants
The C. I. o. union won over the
rival A. F. L.-U. A. w. at nearly all
Chrysler plants in a board
Quoted election several weeks ago,
and its certification at the plants
where it established majorities was
only formality.
The bargaining basis however, was
a controversial issue. On the basis
OF the election returns, the c. I. o.
demanded that all Chrysler plants
be grouped together as one en-
ployer-wide bargaining unit.
Chrysler counsel argued in favor
Of the plant-by- plant unit.
c. I. O. officials said the decision
might have some bearing on current
Chrysler- union negotiations in Mich
igan over new contract. They said
it would clarity the question as to
whether the company should meet
the union on a plant basis or a
multiple-plant basis and speed up
settlement of the controversy.

June Supply of All Oils

oils at 556,55s,ooo barrels, or 142

$4,000 in June last year.
Whereas stocks increased 245ooo
barrels in May, they declined 2425.-
600 in June; this, officials said, wa,
due principally to the face that
nearly 100000 barrels were with
drawn from the market during June
as compared with a small with

Also, they said, the June daily
average production of 3,486 900 bar
