HOUSE VOTES VA

COP Members Admit Ma.
jor Error In Original.
Economy Estimates

WASHINGTON, April 1.-W.D-
The House voted today to ap-
propriate {, 1927, 526, 1856 for a score
OF federal agencies after correct
ing a self-confessed major error in
COP economy estimates which
had threatened to deprive the
veterans administration of $780,
600, 900 to pay readjustments bene-
fits under the CT Bill of Rights.
The bill, containing funds to
operate the various agencies until
the end of this fiscal year June 30,
was approved by voice vote. It
now goes to the Senate.
Chairman John Taber, R., N. Y,
of the Appropriations committee,
one of the COPS sternest economy
advocates, admitted that his group
had erred in chopping the Vete-
rams benefit fund from 1878, 1856,
900 to 1923, 1886, 900. He sponsored
an amendment to restore the cut
amid gleeful Democratic shouts
that the move was a "deathbed
repentance"
Taber said the committee had
been "deceived' by original testi-
mony on the need for the ap-
preparation, but that this had been
cleared up in last-minute question
ing Of Veterans Administrator
Omar Bradley. Rep. Clarence
Cannon, b., Mo-, retorted that "it
there was any deception, it was
self-deception."
The House also restored $6,000,-
600 to operate the federal school
program for the rest of this school
year.
And it gave the Democrats
another chance to claim a victory
by voting, ITO to 81, to pay $2,15S
in back pay to three former gov
eminent employees - William e.
Dodd, Jr., Goodwin B. Watson and
Robert Morse Lovett.
