Big Problem OF New
Congress; W amt Programs

WASHINGTON.-With war fin

the new session of congress, four
senators served notice early this
week they would fight all at
tempts to eliminate government
programs for needy persons,
youth-training, and farm-aid as
part of economizing in monde
Tense expenditures.
Senator Norris Ind, Neb.) said
it would be ''penny-wise and
pound foolish to try and elimin-
ate these programs just as we are
starting a war and may need
them most"
Similar sentiment was express
sed in separate interviews by Sen
ators D. Worth Clark 3D., Idaho),
Bone d., Wash.) and LaFollette
prog, Wis.,.
The new session-the second of
the 18th congress convened Mon
day. President Roosevelt annual
message followed with his budget
proposals for the fiscal year be-
ginning July l was the highlight
of the week.
The chief executive expendi-
lures will 60 up toward $5O,OOO,-
900. To meet this in part, congress
sional leaders are planning on
perhaps $1O,OOO,OOO,OOO in new
taxes and some cuts in monde
Tense spending now running
about $6,50O,00O,0O0 annually.
Proposals for drastic cuts in
government OUTLAWS for the social
program of the new deal already
have been advanced by Senator
Byrd d., Va.), as chairman of the
recently created "joint committee
on reduction of non-essentlal fed
eral expenditures"
The Virginia senator and a ma
| jority of this special economy
committee urged congress to trim
usual government appropriations
in order to speed the wartime
program. Byrd said that from ST.
900, 100000 to more than $4,000
10000 could be saved by reduc-
tons in funds for farm benefit
payments, relief probation, the
national youth administration, the
civilian conservation corps and
similar agencies developed under
president Roosevelt's peacetime
administrations.
A preliminary report from this
group proposed specific cuts ag-
fgregating $1,131,75,0O0.
But Norris contended 1--WE sim
