Letters to The Star
Resents the Budget Bureaus Plan
On New Planning Commission


To the Editor of The Star:
was amazed when / read in last
Sundays Star that the Budget Bureau
had sent to the President report
of municipal government be reyolu-
tionized completely and stating in par
ticular how 1t should be done
Just at time when the citizens of
the District are asking more of a voice
in the management of their own city
and their demands are being recognized
and actively supported by members of
the Congress- some one, whose identity
is undisclosed, recommends to the Pres
ident that the small part the citizens
now play in municipal affairs be taken
away from them and broad powers for
originating and vetoing projects be
vested in National Capital planning
commission of II members, all ap-
pointed by the President.
My interest as lifelong resident and
taxpayer has prompted me to look into
the proposed plan.
I am informed that: "The plan is
a highly restricted report (not printed
prepared in the division of adminis-.
trative management of the Budget
Bureau"
The creation and authority of the
Bureau of the Budget, however, is no
secret. 1t was created by an Act of
Congress approved June 10, 1921, and
was placed in the Treasury Depart
ment. BY an Executive Order, No. 8248,
dated September s, 1889, the bureau
was transferred from the Treasury to
the Executive Office of the President.
The same order also defines the bu-
reaus functions. Paragraph au-
thoriZes the bureau ito conduct re-
search in the development of improved
plans of administrative management
and to advise executive departments
and the agencies of the Government
with respect to improved administra-
tive organization and practice"
Because 4 do not have copy of the
Budget Bureaus report I cannot review
it. Referring to your article of Decem-
ber 81, it would appear from paragraphs
member only being a bona fide D. c.
resident. would be Federal agency
pure and simple, paid from Federal
funds.
This proposed Federal agency with
power to override most any project or
policy proposed by the Commissioners
is not required to submit a report
or an accounting to any local authority.
perhaps not even to the Congress. It's
report, if any, probably would be sub
mitted to the President.
l think every self-respecting citizen
and also civic bodies having pride and
interest in their home town should
join the Commissioners in their fight
against this undemocratic plan, with
its committee of IL, II members of
which might be nonresidents.
Because of my age I have little to
fear, but I would hate to have this
high commission, in its wisdom carry
ing out provision found in paragraph
4, decree that in the interest of dis
tribution of population" I should be
transplanted from the home in which
I was born to some other section of
the District. 1t might be to George
town where possibly might be per-
mitted to mingle with that historic
towns "Cliveden Set; or I might be set
down in Foggy Bottom or in Swami
poodle, both of which once were quite
as fashionable as Georgetown now is.

Haitian government is committed
through its national constitution
and its endorsement of the Altnatic

criticize government. The United

UNRRA Speaker
Urges Vassar club
To Back Program
By Gretchen Smith

The urgent need for immediate
congressional approval of funds re.
quested by UNRRA to lessen the
famine and want now threatening
Millions in devastated areas through.
out the world, was emphasized in ar
address by Robert Wilson, a mem
ber of the UNRRA staff and of the
Americans United and Food fol-
Freedom organization, before the
Washington Vassar Club yesterday
Speaking at the clubs opening
meeting of the year at luncheon
at the YWCA, the speaker forecast
dark outlook for war sufferers both
in Europe and Asia, If material help
is not sent overseas soon.
Quoting "somber Dutchman'
whom he met at the San Francisco
Conference, Mr.. Wilson said, "the
people in Holland demand peace
and freedom. but they cry for bread
first Of all. They cannot eat Char
ter that promises security tomor-
row."
The speaker warned that these
predictions of hunger are now COM
ing true.
YES" he declared, food is the
first step toward peace. With the
advent of the atomic bomb we saw
that the fundamental fact of our
century is the interdependence of
the world. The handwriting on the
wall was written boldly with the
blood of warriors and civilians and
it said-establish peace or be for
ever destroyed"
The speaker denounced the "re-
surgence of isolationist sentiment
in Congress" and opponents to the
European relief program.
They say relief recipients are
loaflng-they are not helping them
selves. They say it is too expensive
that we are playing Santa Claus
to the world. These critics are not
willing to pay this price for peace
a price of fraction of / per cent
Of the cost of war"
A grim prediction of a winter
ahead and children of Europe and
Asia with stomachs disteuded from
hunger-of old people frozen to
death-of mass death from epi-
denies" was presented by Mr.. VIII
son, as he urged club members to
support and work for congressional
approval of sufficient funds for
UNRRA.
Il sincerely urge each one of you
to DO all you can to contribute to
the great challenge of our century,
to establish world at peace" he
concluded.
