Senate Committee
Cuts Funds for Two
White House Ageneie,
0. 9. R. and Resources
Planning Boord Feel
Appropriation Units Knife
BY j. A. OLEARY.

Funds for two White House
agencies-the ONCE of Govern
ment Reports and the National
Resources Planning Board-were
cut sharply by the Senate Appro-
priations Committee, it was re-
vealed today with the filing of
the report on the 81, ,125, ,985 $50
independent Offices supply bill.
The committee took no action to
prevent the o. @. r., headed by
Lowell Mellett, from moving into
its new building under construc-
ton at Fourteenth street and Penn
sylvania avenue N. w., but cut the
agencys appropriation for the year
beginning July / from $500 900 in
the House bill to $1,093, ,730, with
a. proviso that the President may
not give the agency more than
$500, 900 additional from his blank
check appropriations.
While $1,093,730 is the amount
Congress gave Mr.. Mellett for the
current year, the President was al
lowed to allot $500 600 to o. G. r.
this year. Thus, Ii the Senate
version of the bill stands, Mr.. Mel
lett may move into his new central
information structure, but he will
have to do some economizing to get
along.
Planning Board Hit.
The Senate group cut even more
deeply into the Planning Boards
funds, striking out all OF the
$40O coo the House had allowed for
the boards national defense activi-
ties and $685. 900 for its regular
appropriation.
This reduced the total allowed the
board by the House from 81 ,1o8 .845
to $440. 900. Before passing the bill
in January the House already had
cut SOC, ,705 from the national de-
fense surveys Of the Planning
Board.
OF particular interest to Washing
ton, was the Senate Committees
action in denying the Alley Dwelling
Authority permission to use next
year the unexpended balance of
existing appropriations or its re-
ceipts from housing developments to
meet its administrative expenses
after July /. The House, however,
allowed the use of these funds, so
that the issue is still open to final
settlement in conference.
Obligations of ss6,45o.
The anticipated obligations of A.
D. A. are approximately $96, ,45O.
Against this the agency is expected
to have at the end of this fiscal year
an unexpended balance of $6l ,22o;
estimated receipts in the new year
of SIS, 900 and a reimbursement from
defense housing of $4,000. 1t is
these funds that the Senate amend
ment ties up.
The economy drive in the Senate
Committee yesterday led to cuts
in the travelling expenses of many
OF the independent boards and COM
missions, ranging from 10 to 50 per
cent.
While the s2.l2s .ss5 $50 total in
the bill as reported appears to be
an increase over the House total of
81. .096. .04S,s75, this is due TO a Senate
amendment requiring a new book
keeping arrangement for the Ten
nessee Valley Authority. Hereto
fore, the revenues received from
sale of T. v A. power have been
used as a revolving fund in the
succeeding years. The Senate bill
requires such revenues to be de-
posted in the Treasury and new

Bv The Associated Press.
Confronted with o claim that some
le42 model automobiles might make
their first appearance on the streets
as late as 1912. the House Banking
Committee called on the once of
Price Administration today for an
explanation Of Its car rationing reg
ulations.
The decision to ask o. p A. to ex-
plain what some committee men,
bers said were very complex" regu-
lations came after an automobile
dealer spokesman said some dealers
estimated that under current regula-
tions the present supply of new cars
might last as long as 80 years.
In some cases, said Charles w.
Bishop. counsel for the National Au-
tonobile Dealers Association, local
rationing boards were so confused
by the regulations that rather than
sake q chance on violating them they
often turned down worthy applica-
tions for new car purchases.
coo 80 New Cars In Stock.
Mr.. Bishop said he had made no
study of the length Of time that
would be required to dispose Of new
cars under present orders, but esti-
mates Of several large manufactur-
ers were that from two to three
years would be required, while deal
ers' estimates were much higher
He explained that approximately
600. 900 new cars were in stock, and
they were moving slowly because Of
very complex" rationing rules.
The o. P. A. representatives were
expected to be the last heard by the
committee before it acts on legisla-
ton to authorize the r. F. C. to give
financial aid to dealers, either by
making loans or purchasing their
unsold cars after Is months.
Late yesterday the committee
heard Secretary of Commerce Jones,
who is also r. F. c. head, explain
plans under which he said the Gov
eminent would purchase ell stocks
of new automobiles, tires and trailers
in the hands of dealers or manu-
facturers desiring to sell them.
Under this program, Mr.. Jones
told the committee, dealers would be
able to dispose of their stocks with
out q loss, and later could re-acquire
the products from the r. F. c. at
the cost to the r. F. c. plus per
cent interest.
Aid for Refrigerator Makers.
A similar plan for the relief of
domestic refrigerator producers, he
said, also has been worked out, but
would not apply to dealers because
their stocks have not been subjected
to rationing.
During his testimony Secretary
Jones engaged in an exchange with
Representative Kopplemann, Demo-
crat, of Connecticut, who, he said.
once attempted to obtain q $60, 900
Federal loan for friend on property
that cost 5000.
Representative Kopplemann n n
charged that the r. F. c., under Mr..
Jones, had q record OF not being in
sympathy with small business.
you've made q lot of talks Of this
character" Mr.. Jones declared to
Mr.. Kopplemann. But remember
one day you wanted US to lend
friend of yours $50, 900 on property
he paid 5000 for"
Mr.. Jones reached into . stack of
papers and offered to produce "the
record" in the case, but the incident
ended when Representative VIII
liams, Democrat, Of Missouri sug-
gested that the committee get back
to its main subject.

Inappropriate title of this gripping
picture which graphically illus
trateS how the valiant Red armies
drove the grim NaZi invaders from
the very doorstep of the Russian
capitol. 1t is a picture you'll not
soon forget for it is a realistic
account of Nazi ruthlessness and
Russian bravery. Scenes of the
heroic defenders digging trenches
and tank traps around the be-
sieged city emphasize the do OF
die" spirit of the Russian people
while other sequences of appalling
horror bear the stamp of NaZi
barbariSm.

It's action begins with the Red
counterattack at Moscow and its
tempo increases as the Russian
army recaptures village after vii
lage in the now history-making
drive to repel the invader. Ger
