REP. HARTLEY OPENS: Congress
does have adequate control over gov
ernmental expenditures. Whether it
has, in the past decade. exercised a
sufficient degree of control is another
question. For ten years the country
has been under what practically
amounted to one-party government.
The result has been almost uncon-
trolled bureaucratic extravaganza and
waste. The best evidence of the still
existent Congressional control is the
tightening up process now being pur-
sued by the more evenly politically
divided 18th Congress. q
Congress has two ways in which to
implement its control over expendi-
lures. First, by standing committees
which regularly hold hearings, study
problems, work out and report the
best forms of legislation to meet those
problems! Second, through special in
vestigating committees which conduct
more exhaustive studies of problems
and finally report back to their re-
spective houses of the Congress. There
is no other practical Constitutional
method of parliamentary procedure.
Many special committees are now en-
gagged in investigations. Legislation is
neDer worked out on the floor of the
Senate and the House. This always
has to be done by the Committees.
The real proof Congress does have
adequate control over expenditures
is to be found in the fact that under
our American Constitutional system
of Government, we have, in $50 years,
sbecome the best governed Nation in
the world.
+, MR.. YOUNG CHALLENGES: Rep.
Hartley uses outmoded methods of
reactionary Congressional thinking
to defend his arguments. He blames
the bureaucrats for what is wrong
and defends Congress by waving the
flag; he is partisan in his attack and
patriotic in his defense. On the one
hand. there is uncontrolled bureau
cratic extravaganza and waste; on
the other hand, by some sort of
hokus-pocus, "the best governed ma
ton in the world"-with the same
set of bureaucrats, tool
The inadequacy of Congressional
control is not a partisan issue; it has
haunted Congress for long time
before the Harding scandals, before
the Grant frauds. If Rep. Hartley is
correct, it viii haunt Congress for
some time to come.
REP. HARTLEY REPLIES. Ignor-
ing Mr.. Young's personal criticisms
which are neither argument nor fin-
formation, it must be observed that
the bureaucracy ] referred to in my
opening statement had gotten out of
control under onespArty government.
due to lop-sided $majorities In the

ever inadequacy of Congressional
control may have existed up to the

Subsidy for Prices
On Milk Studied
Hearing Scheduled for
Friday by WFA

In expectation of the rollback in
food prices June l, the War Food
Administration has called a public
hearing of Federal milk marketing
administrators to work out subsidy
plan for maintaining the producer
price of milk.
The hearing will be held Friday in
the Agriculture Department.
VIA officials explained that milk
prices usually are based on butter
quotations, and that if the ONCE of
Price Administration rollback is
put into operation for butter, milk
prices will be affected.
Farmers would then be faced with
lower prices for their milk, unless
the Government moved in to assure
them a supporting price.
Market administrators from %
areas through the country will con-
slider an amendment to existing
marketing agreements whereby they
could use the average market price
quotations plus subsidy payments.
This would take care of any contin-
gencies arising in the future, VIA
said.
The announcement said the pro-
posed amendment would have no
influence on retail milk prices.
