THE Utah Taxpayers

TIME Utah Taxpayers
Association is sponsor
ing a campaign tO
pledge individual citizens and
civilian organizations against
asking the federal govern
ment for nOn-defense eXpendi'
lures not vitally essential tC
community welfare.
This movement has a close
relation to the persistent, but
futile, effort to persuade Con
gress that excessive expendi-
lures for national defense
should be offset by curtail-
ment of other expenditures
not essential to the defense
program.
Congress has been repeat
edly told il could reduce nom
defense expenditure by as
much as two billion dollars
annually without impairment
of civilian functions, and in
fact has been strongly urged
TO do so by many authOrita-
tive and responsible states
men. including Secretary of
the Treasury Morgenthau.
But there is little likeli-
hood of any Su bstantia
achievements i'm this respect,
unless the habitual practice
of many Americans as indi-
ViduaIs in furtherance of com
munity projects is likewise
curtailed.
That practice is, Of course,
the familiar one of decrying
II deral expenditure as a
whole hut insisting upon spe-
cifc expenditure conforming
TO local aspirations.
The preSSureS put upon
Congress for individual
spending projects are danger
Gus because they are accumu-
latiVe.
The representatives Of one
community or district or
state, DESTROYS of pleasing
their constituents, cOnSpire
with the representatives of
other communities or states
having similar commitments
at h0me-with the result that
support of one is traded for
support Of another.
The congressman tn q m.
selves have a name for this
procedure 49, properly calling
il LOG ROLLING.
Thus, even if government
agencies responsible for bud.
get recommendations should
propose non-defenSe spending
curtailment adequate in the
present emergency. il is
skepticaIly anticipated thai
Congress itself will restore
most if not all Of the reduc
tions-With no economy at al

NEW YORK - CAMP - Two
resolutions protesting the army
ban against using Negro nurses
in the defense program were pass
ed by separate white organizations
meeting here last week, according
to Mrs. Mabel Keaton Staupers,
secretary, National Association of
Colored Graduate Nurses.
Meeting at the Hotel Penncyl-
vania on Tuesday evening, the New
York State Nurses association, Dis
trict 13, heard Mrs. Staupers' de-
scription Of the attitude of the war
department. and the U. S. Public
health service toward colored nurs-
es, and proceeded to pass a reso-
luton condemning this discrimina-
tory policy.
Invitation to speak few days
later before the Catholic Laymen's
union resulted in such indignation
on the part of that body that a
similar resolution was introduced
and favorably acted upon. In both
instances the resolutions are being
forwarded to the war department.
Mrs. Staupers said that those
