BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

Creation of an independent legis-
lative budget agency by which Con-
gress may police" Federal appro-
priatiops and expenditures was being
urged from widely separated po-
itical sources today.
Among the first and most active
adherents of the proposal were Sem
ator Adams, Democrat, of Colorado,
an influential member of the Appro-
priations and Banking Committees,
and Senator Taft, Republican, Of
Ohio, an avowed Republican presi-
Dental candidate.
AS the movement for closer con.
troll of Federal finances picked up
momentum, Speaker Bankhead re-
minded reporters at a press con.
ference that Congress next winter
will be faced with the tough propo-
sition" of deciding whether to raise
the $45,000,0O0,0OO Federal debt
limit.
Maximum Seen Near.
Although Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau has been quoted as say
ing he does not believe the present
limit will be exceeded, fiscal experts
OF the Government admit the maxi
mum may be closely approached by
the end of the fiscal year next June
30.
I'VE probably will appropriate 4
good deal more for defense and the
people of the country seem to be in
favor of that STEP" Speaker Bank
head said. But I'm not in favor
OF us losing our heads. There got
to be limit to that somewhere"
Since there appears to be little
likelihood that defense expenditures
can be offset by reduced appropria.
tions for regular governmental activ.
tiles, the Speaker said the adminis-
tration would have to look to in.
creased revenue from improved busi.
ness.
On the matter of setting UP q
new legislative budget committee,
Senator Adams disclosed in a press
conference yesterday that he has
discussed the question with other
economy minded" Senators and
that they are prepared to urge tho
idea at the next session of Congress.
Taft Approves Idea.
Senator Taft disclosed his approval
OF the idea in speech last night at
Cleveland before the Ohio Chamber
of Commerce.
Declaring "the fiscal policy of the
Federal Government today is an in
sane policy" the Ohio Senator said
I believe budget committee should
be created to rewrite the so-called
budget presented by the President"
He accused Secretary Morgenthau
OF attempting to pass the buck to
Congress on the insane" policies.
Senator Adams made it clear the
plan is not intended, and should
not be construed. as a criticism of
bureau heads in the executive
branch of the Government for try
ing to obtain additional funds to
carry out the particular functions
assigned to them. Such efforts. the
Senator indicated, are only nat
ural on the part of administrative
officers keenly interested in their
work.
Need More Information.
He has reached the conclusion,
however, that the Appropriation
Committees of Congress need more
comprehensive facilities for weigh
ing the merits of proposed expendi-
lures.
When it comes to raising reve-
nue." the Senator said, "the House
Ways and Means Committee and
the Senate Finance Committee have
the services of their own tax ex-
pertS, under the Joint Committee
on Internal Revenue Taxation"
He has in mind a similar organi-
zation to keep the Appropriations
Committee fully advised as to the

Columbus SINKING
Brings Conflict
Over US. 'Conyo

NEW YORK. Dec. q 6UP)-Sea-
men from the United States heavy
cruiser Tuscaloosa which brought
to port the SIT survivors of the
scuttled. 32.000-ton German liner
Columbus. said today that the Tus-
caloosa quit escorting the Columbus
and moved away when British des-
troyer appeared.
This was one of three versions
of the Columbus incident clrcu-
iating on the waterfront as lminl-
grafton officials opened a hearing
to determine whether all the sur
vivors are distressed seamen' and
entitled to so days Of freedom here
or whether any of them are mill
tarv agents and shall be lnterneo
Another version was that OF the
Columbus master, Capt. Wllhelm
Daehne. He said American war
ships had conveyed at least
.iollowed"-his ship all the way
from Vera Cruz. Mexico, and that
the last of them. the Tuscaloosa
had lust turned away and was two
miles off. when the British des-
troyer came up on the Columbus
right.
The third version was given by
Capt. Harry 4. Bade of the Tusca-
loosa. He was neither conVoyins
nor trailing the Columbus, he SAID
1T was purely coincidental thai
we came upon her" just about
the time the Columbus crew started
to scuttle and burn her.
The Tuscaloosa Seamen, TALKING
off the record on shore leave, salc
two United States destroyers hac
"conyoved" the Columbus from
Vera Cruz. from where she sailed
Thursday, and that the Tusca
,oosa. which left Norfolk Saturday
had taken over the convoy" Mon
day
They said that Tuesday evening
when the columbus and Tuscaloosa
were about 420 miles off the Del
aware CapeS. inside the Unlteo
States neutrality zone. the BrltlsH
DESTROYER. identified by the seamer
as the Hyperion, radioed the Ius-
caloosa asking what ship sla was
convoying. Capt. Badt replied &c
the British to find out for them
selves" the seamen said, and when
the destroyer moved in at full, 30
knot speed to do so, the Tusca-
loosa turned away. In q few min
utes. the Columbus crew was goina
over the sides in boats and foul
puffs of smoke, from fires they
had SCI. were rising from the
decks.
