The Political MiII
Vast Funds for War Are FunneIed Through
Hord-Working Committees Totolinq IS Men

TO be expended-and to see that
as far as possible the money is
expended wisely and not thrown
away. And that is precisely what
they seek to do.
When 1t is said that $4,000
000,0 900 has been appropriated and
authorized to be appropriated for
the fiscal years l94l, 1912 and
1943, it does not mean that this
money has been expended. AS
matter of fact, the expenditures
for national defense in the fiscal
year l941 amounted to about S.
00O,000000, in the present fiscal
year they are expected to amount
to s24, 900, 900 900, and in the fiscal
year 1e43 to $50 900 900 900. This
means that huge sums will still
remain to be expended, for these
expenditures total only $83,000,-
100000.
This does not seem to make
sense, until the facts are brought
out. The appropriation by Con-
greSs of great sums of money
simply starts the wheels in mo-
ton. The money is not actually
expended until long time after
ward. Not only must contracts
be let but the materials must be
produced. The accounts must be
audited and finally the money is
paid by the Treasury Department,
and only then is money lex
pended" Sometimes the arms
and munitions have been used,
or even destroyed, long before
the money for them has passed
from the Treasury into the
pockets of the producers.
Must Anticipate Needs.
However, appropriation must be
made, and made early. 1t can
not wait until the actual need
of certain arms and ships Is felt.
The plans for these great arma-
ments must be made long in ad-
vance, and there must be con-
slant flow of production. True,
production at some point-for all
wars end-will outrun the need.
There will be vast contracts
under way and huge stores OF
material when the war comes to
an end. 1t was so during the last
war. When hostilities ceased in
1918 Congress was confronted
with a salvaging task. 1t also
had the job of repeating appro-
priations totaling $4,000, 900, 900.
When the present war ends, it
may be in a position to repeal
even more billions of appropria-
neutrality-suspicious. for the ex-
penditure of money which has
not been begun. or only partly
begun. Naturally, the taxpayer
will hope that this will be the
case.
These Appropriations Commit
tee members work long and hard.
Mr.. Cannon heads the House
committee and Senator Glass Of
Virginia that of the Senate. While
all appropriations originate in
the House, they must also be put
through the Senate, and the Sem
ate has the power to amend,
either increasing or decreasing,
the amounts, or striking out or
adding items. In the end both
houses must agree to the final
draft. The importance of the
work in these days of the Ap-
propriations Committee Is very
great. For members of Congress
as a whole must rely upon the
judgment of these men-no wom-
en- have yet been added to either
of these committees-when they
come to vote on these bills. In
other words. the huge task of
legislating these sums of money
devoIves in reality upon the COM
mittees,

I understand why. Since World
War I the dollar-a-year man has
occupied unique place in the pub
lie heart. He is looked upon by the
citizenry as combination Paul Re-
we're without horse, Patrick Henry
without hall. Betsy Ross without
thimble-well, he is looked upon
as the man who laid aside all per-
sonal business, abandoned all
thought of monetary gain, hurriedly
kissed his wife and hddies good-by
and hastened to Washington to wear
out his two-pants suit in the service
of Uncle Sam from sunup to sun
down-strictly for free.
That's lovely picture. I hope It's
true. do not want to be branded

my epitaph I do not want them to
scrawl these words on the imitation

headstone:

But, since this country went TO

Midwestern States and Pacific Coast
States.
You know the biggest beef I have
heard? 1t didn't concern the negli-
gence at Pearl Harbor or the lenient
treatment Of enemy aliens or con-
gressional pensions.
No, it concerned the dollar-a-
year men.
In every town I've been to citizens
like you and me have told me that
the dollar-a-year men are nothing
but watchdogs for the great indus
trial interests of this country. They
are pictured, everywhere I have
been. as nothing but lobbyists with
the power to hand out Government
contracts.
The Government pays them only
dollar a year. But, so this country
feels, they are drawing tremendous
salaries from the large interests
they represent. 1t is generally con-
ceded that these men are Of great
ability. But here, there and every
where, citizens are questioning their
allegiance. Does it belong to the
United States or to the powerful
companies with which they have
definite ties?
Manufacturers of motors have told
me that the small manufacturer OF
motors has no chance to get a con-
tract. The same goes for the men
who are able and willing to manu-
facture high test aviation gasoline.

fellows who, so have been told,
are kicking that gong around for
their own interests, and to hell with
Macarthur and his boys.
Maybe they are not kicking it
around. But a lot of people think
they are, and the people who think
they are, are pretty substantial citi-
zens.
Well find out all we can on this
subject. If it requires a cohgres-
sional investigation, let's have it.
My guess is-and it's strictly
guess-that where there is so much

DR., N. X. Sullivan
Is Given Hinebrand
Chemical Award
Presentation Made
To 6. U. Professor
At Society's Dinner

The Hillebrand award Of the
Chemical Society of Washington
was presented at the annual dinner
at the Cosmos Club last night to
DR.. M. x. Sullivan, professor of bio
chemistry at Georgetown University.
for his work on The sulfur-con-
tanning substances OF the body.
In this work, which has extended
over 20 years. DR.. Sullivan not only
has developed methods of quantita-
tive analysis of extremely minute
amounts of sulfur, but did much OF
the pioneer work In demonstrating
that this element Is essential to
life.
1t occurs chiefly in the form Of
the amino acid, cystine, one Of the
building stones Of life, which is
found most abundantly in the liver,
the hair and the nails. Every organ
contains some of it. however. and
without 1t any growth Is impossible.
The award was presented by DR..
Normal Bekkedahl, president of the
society, after DR.. Sullivan had been
introduced by DR.. H. L. Haller, past
president.
After the presentation DR.. Vincent
Du Vigneaud, professor OF bio
chemistry at the Cornell medical
school, described the latest develop
ments in his studies of the way
cystine is formed in the body from
simpler chemical entities. Much of
this work was started while DR.. Du
Vigneaud was at the George Wash
ington medical school where he
worked in close association with DR..
Sullivan.
DR.. Du Vigneaud announced the
recent finding of a hitherto I'M
known engine present in the liver
which seems to play vital part in
the transformation and can be con-
sidered probably essential to life.

Judy's Pool Lures
Neiehbor's Ducks

JUDY GARLAND is havini
"neighbor trouble" and all because
Of a flock OF ducks.
1t seems that every morning thu
birds, owned by a rancher neigh
Dor, invade Judy's swimming poo
and remain until the owner Il
forced to drive them home.
The other morning the gentle
man paid Judy a visit.
"You will simply have to drain
your pool, Miss Garland" he de-
manded. my ducks won't stay
home and I'm tired Of running
around looking for them every
day."
maybe you should equip your
pool with . good-looling decoy,"
Judy quipped, "and your troubles
would be over"
