"a Billion NAVY Bill
Reported Out by
Senate Committee
$40 Millions Also Given
With Vote to Restore
FSA to Farm Measure
BY ]. A. OLEARY.

The Senate Appropriations
Committee today reported out
two big supply bills, carrying
S24,850,427.l9S for the Navy and
$500, $50, 209 for the Department
of Agriculture for the coming
year. after voting to restore the
Farm Security Administration to
the latter measure.
AS the bill came from the House
it carried nothing for the FSA ex-
cept s500000 liquidation fund.
The House Appropriation Commit
tee had attempted to transfer the
functions of the agency to the Farm
Credit Administration, but this was
knocked out on the floor of the
House on point of order.
Later the House wrote into a de-
ficiency bill an amendment designed
to prevent the President from trans
ferring any of his emergency funds
to either the Farm Security Admin
istration or the National Resources
Planning Board. That amendment
is still unsettled between the two
Houses.
Want to Clear Path.
Efforts will be made to pass both
appropriation bills in the Senate
early next week. to clear the wav
for half a dozen more important
appropriation measures that also
must go through by June 30.
The Senate committee authorized
FSA to obtain S97 100000 from RFC
for loan purposes and gave the
agency S29 ,607,57 for administra-
tive expenses, reduction of about
s7,0O0000 from budget estimates.
For the farm tenancy program the
Senate bill carries 1926 .07O, instead
Of the $500,OOO allowed by the House
for expenses. Loans under this
heading may be made through the
RFC up to 30,000,000.
Fate Seen Up to Conference.
If the Senate approves these
restorations. the fate of the Farm
Security Administration will remain
for final determination in a confer
ence committee of both houses.
When the agricultural bill left the
House, it totaled S715 ,099 ,662. making
the net Senate increase s105 ,568, SAT.
One of the chief Senate increases
was s7,273,37l given the Forest Serv-
ice for greater fire protection. The
committee explained this increase is
to be considered part of the war
emergency and not precedent for
later years.
Although the Senate report on
the Navy bill reduces the cash
amount allowed in the House by
1858 ,260 900, it is largely a book

nance and ship maintenance items
