But so far as I car find out,

no one-afternoon job-if you

The new budget, presented to
Congress a short time ago, is
the eleventh straight edition of
the Federal governments YER
sion of Gone with the Wind"
1t tells the same gloomy story
as its ten predecessors of mil
lions and billions of dollars
blowing away down the gale.
And it has the same old villains:
a skyrocketing national debt, a
huge deficit, and the prospect
of heavier taxes hung like an
anchor around the neck of Mr.
Average Citizen.
The annual budget is a big
book, and it's a dull book, but
it's all written about your mon
ey. On that account, it's worth
while spending some time dig
ging around among the millions
and billions and squillions to get
at least some idea of what all
the shooting's about.

WASHINGTON SIDELIGHTS:
DR.. Leiserson, the latest addi-
ton to the National Labor Rela-
tons Board who was added be-
cause proponents of the Act
figured that his appointment
would forestall criticism of
Board bias, has diSSented from
his colleagues in a number of
important cases. His memoran-
dumS to the other Board mem
bers, produced as evidence by
the the House Committee in
vestigating the Wagner Board.
have also showed that he often
differed with them. OF this sit
uation, a former trial examiner
for the Board made the follow
ing analysis in a recent public
address:
DIR. LeiSerson is either in
viting the courts to reverse his
associates on the Board, or in
viting Congress to clarity its
intent with respect to certain
antiquities of the Act by am
endmentS. His dissenting opin-
ions are tacit admissions that
the Act is defective and that
his associates on the Board
cannot be trusted to admins
ter fairly and impartially its
provisions"
