which is put around its neck
The method is almost instantan-

War Agencies
Have Millions
Not Expended

Washington. Apr. l4-lNS-The
joint Congressional Economy COM
mittee received information today
that the armed services and war
shipping agencies have more than
$50 million dollars In uneXpended
appropriations.
The situation, 1t was learned. is
being studied by experts OF the
Senate Appropriations Committee
with a view TO possibly trimming
the huge war budget before final
passage OF appropriation bills.
Action In Senate
Action to slash the huge war
budget will be taken in the Senate,
IL Congress acts at all. because II
will consider the appropriation
near the end OF the fiscal year. and
can get the latest picture OF the
situation
The report showed that unex-
pended balances totalled ia bill
lion 435 million dollars as OF Jan.
81 Huge expenditures since that
time may have cut the total 10
near $50 billion dollars.
The Army had 1913 billions OF the
total unexpended balances, the
Navy AZ billion. the Maritime Com
mission Ave billion, the War Ship
ping Administration ten billion and
the othe war agencies ten billion.
Half Obligated
About half OF the money has
been obligated. The report. how
ever, showed unobligated funds
totalling eighty six billions.
Il don't see the necessity for
all OF that unobligated money" said
Sen. John H. Bankhead (D) Ala.
81 am glad to see that they have
1t. but that much loose money
around might make them spend
more than they ordinarily would.
Eve will, OF course. have 10

needs and requirements. We can't

Economy-minded senators we're

billions may be accomplished be-
cause the vast war plant building
program has been completed.
