Invasion 10 Guide
Congress Spending,
Cannon Declares
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
The Allied invasion of Europe,
Chairman Cannon of the House
Appropriations Committee declared
last night, holds the answer to
whether congressional appropria-
tions will begin to decline.
Successful military operations, he
said, will be reflected Immediately
by reduced expenditures.
Already, Representative Cannon
told a reporter, the armed services
have all they need Immediately in
the way of factories, munitions,
guns and other supplies, new ex-
penditures being required only for
production of ships and airplanes.
Not all of the money already
appropriated will be spent because
Of successes We had not figured on
at the time" he said. There are
many less ships at the bottom of
the ocean than we had expected,
because of our success against the
submarine, and lease-lend supplies
have not been sent to the bottom
In as large volume as many had
expected"
Mr.. Cannon indicated that the
1944-45 War Department supply bill,
estimated tentatively to provide for
some $4,000, 900 900, might be held
up by his committee until the in
vasion is on to determine whether
the amount must be boosted or
pared.
1--WE have already reached the
peak in appropriations and are on
the way towards more normal spend
ings," Mr.. Cannon said.
In the last six years, appropria-
tions have totalled more than $10,-
600 900 900 annually, reaching high
Of $147,071 ,208, 900 for the fiscal year
1943. Up until 1917-18, during the
First World War, they had never
exceeded 1900 0OO, 900 annually. The
first "billion dollar Congress was the
6Oth, which for the fiscal year 1909
caused considerable eyebrow rails
ing by appropriating a total of ST.
O06, ,431, 900. Since then, appropria-
tions have never gone below q bill
lion dollars.
