troll OF what is spent on regular
activities" he said. He outlined a
six-point program including exam
1nation of the budget, revenue esti-
mate, prevention of expansion of
ordinary activities and reduction of
ordinary expenses, plugging loop
holes in tax laws and inventory Of

sal to establish congressional

Enumerates Objectives.
Mr.. Woodrum gave his objec-
tives as:
81. Scrutinize closely the over
all budget which will be submitted
to Congress by the President at the
beginning of the session.
70. Secure the best possible esti-
mate of the revenues that may be

"3. Prevent, if possible, expansion
OF ordinary activities and the be-
ginning of new ventures which car
ry financial burden.
a. Reduce ordinary expenditures
where it can be done without seri-
ously interfering with the necessary
functions of Government.
IS. Take any steps that may be
possible to plug loopholes in the tax
law or to increase revenues and. in
this connection, give consideration
to new sources of revenue.
