A smoldering controversy be-

into the open yesterday with a

ance" with the Republicans to

Its all right to vote to send

it's all wrong to let them vote for

Senators Will Seek
To Restrict Powers
Of Budget Bureau
Right to Hold Unused

In Reserve Is Issue
By ], A, OLEARY.

With the approval Of the APP
preparations Committee, Senator
Mcclellan, Democrat, of TenneS-
see will lead fight in the Senate
this week to curb the power of
the Budget Bureau to hold funds
in reserve not required by the
Army or Navy, or to impound ap-
preparations authorized by Con-
gress for particular projects by
any agency.
The limitation will be offered as a
rider to the 1907 ,976.5ls.23 first sup
Elemental appropriations bill for
1914, which the committee reported
favorably yesterday, after adding
Sal ,222 1894 to the House total.
Hearings on the bill, made public
yesterday, reveal that the proposed
curb on the Budget Bureaus power
was prompted, not only by recent
discussion OF whether the Army will
have $4,000, 000, 900 Of unspent au-
| thorizations but also by variety
Of other instances cited by senator's
in which they claimed appropria-
tons for specific projects had been
impounded by the executive branch

In brief placed in the hearings
the Budget Bureau contended the
practice OF holding appropriations
in reserve dates back to the day the
Budget and Accounting Law went
into effect in 1921. Originally the
job OF apportioning funds through
out the year, and holding some in
reserve, was a responsibility of each
department., but the function was
transferred to the Budget Bureau
by an Executive Order in 1893, under
the Economy Act, the brief pointed
out.
Issue Made Clear.
Further on, the Budget Bureau
argued:

Russian Troops Drive
Within 3 Miles Of

Reported Retreotine
Through Bott|eneck
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Sunday, Dec. s.
Russian forces yesterday swept
to within miles Of Zhlobin, big
trunk railway crossing, in their
pursuit Of the Germans retreat
ing from Gomel, and in the
Ukraine pounded out new gains
in a drive to link the impor-
tant Kremenchug and Cherkasy
bridgeheads, Moscow announced
today.
Several hundred thousand Ger
mans, who have now fallen back 40
miles in 10 days since Gomel was
captured, were streaming through
the bottleneck town of Zhlobin as
the Russians battered into the rail-
way station of Khalch, said the Mos
COW midnight communique, recorded
by the Soviet monitor. This town
is miles from zhlobin on the rail
line from Gomel, and its fall marked
a 4-mile frontal advance on the
junction from Soltanovka, taken
Friday
German rear guards tried to make
a stand at the approaches and
launched several counterattacks,
but Soviet infantry, Supported by
massed artillery splintered the Ger
man defense and broke through into
the station. After a fierce battle the
Germans were routed, leaving great
quantities of booty behind.
Capture IL Towns.
Another Russian push in White
Russia threaded through wooded
and marshy ground northwest of
Propoisk-north of the Zhlobin
area. Here the forces of Gen.
MARKHAM M. Popov were thrusting
a spearhead to the Upper Dnieper
near Mogilev, capturing IL towns
and heavily fortified height. More
than 300 Germans were killed as
they retreated, at least one bat
Italian fleeing in disorder, aban-
donlng two artillery batteries.
Miserable weather was hamper
ing both of these White Russian
drives, but Gen. Constantin Rokos-
sovsky's forces heading for Zhlobin
rounded up 80 more towns and
hamlets in an advance which also
captured Gorodets, IA miles north
east of Zhlobin and an equal dis
lance southeast of Rogachev, a dis
trict center on the north-south
trunk railway.
zhlobin itself is on the Lenin-
grad-Odessa north-south railway
and the Minsk- Gomel east-west
line. Its loss will not be fatal to
the Germans since they still have
functions available to the north or
south, but its capture will aid in
the cleanup of Germans still on,

AS Certain Nominee
If Trend Continues
New Yorker Dominates
Preconvention COP Scene
Despite His Avowed Wish
By GOULD LINCOLN.

wv. AiioAiloo II. DCWCy VI NcN
York dominates the Republican
preconvention picture-although
he has declared himself not a
candidate for the presidential
nomination.
This is the word brought to WASH
ington by Republicans who have
travelled about the country, among
| them former Gov. All Landon of
Kansas, the party standard bearer
in 1896. who has been here for 4
week comforting with COP leaders.
Those who support Mr.. Dewey
wave aside any suggested difficulty
which grows out Of the fact the
New Yorker is not going into q fight
Tor delegates to the national con-
vention or the fact that he will not
give assent to the presentation OF
his name to the convention.
The Simple Way Of Voting.
Delegates, they say, will just vote
for Gov. Dewey, when their States
are called, and let it 60 at that. 1t
Is simple way, provided there are
enough unpledged delegates favor
able to the New Yorker.
Some of the Republicans insist
Gov. Dewey is likely to be nomi-
mated on the first or second ballot
provided the demand for him re-
mains as it is today.
This is not pleasant tor the can
didates and their friends. 1t is q
situation, however, which they must
face and overcome If one of them
is to be nominated instead of Mr..
Dewey.
Take look at the list OF candi-
dates. Two open and avowed can
didates are Gov. Bricker of Ohio
and Representative DirkSen of Illi-
nois. Wendell Willkie of Indiana
and New York, while he has made
no formal announcement of candi-
dacy. Is hard at work campaigning
for delegates. Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur has considerable following
in the country. as shown by various
polls. The Minnesota Republican
State Central Committee has tossed
former Gov. StaSsen's hat in the
ring-Without any open word from
him. He is now in the Navy.
Taft's = Possibility.
Gov. Warren of California is
another possibility, and so, too, is
Senator Taft OF Ohio, although the
latter has announced his intention
of running again for the Senate and
his support of the Bricker presiden-
tial candidacy.
Not long ago it was Mr.. Willkie
against the field for the Republican
presidential nomination. stop Will
kie' plans Weer under discussion in
many quarters-both by friends of
other aspirants and by Republicans
who do not favor Mr.. Willkie.
1t looks now as though Mr.. Will
kie is Jumped with the rest of the
candidates with the growing de-
mand for Gov. Dewey. The stu
alton is almost fantastic. Undoubt-
eddy efforts will be made to smoke
Gov. Dewey out. He has stood pat
however, for year on his declara

Republican leaders who discuss
the matter insist Gov. Dewey could
not refuse a presidential nomina

select him. Further, they say that
ii he did refuse, he could not hope
for such party preferment in the
future.
Gov. Bricker, it is expected, will
