guests heard the speaker describe a
recent visit which he made to the
home. In my opinion it's the only
institution of its kind in the coun-
try" he said.

the home, which receives children
from S to Is years of age suffering
with asthmatic and allergic condi-
tions, often takes cases that have
been declared hopeless" by hos
pitfalls, clinics and institutions in
their own home States.
The home doesn't take children
indiscriminately," he declared, add
ing that only those whose families
cannot afford medical treatment are
accepted.

con chairman, presided and intro
duced the speaker.
The luncheon was opened by Mrs.

Finish Reorganization,
Group Tells Congress

The new session of Congress be-
ginning Tuesday was urged today
by the National Committee for
Strengthening Congress to carry out
fully the Congressional Reorganiza-
ton Act
In letter to all members of the
House and Senate, the committee,
headed by Robert Heller of Cleve-
land, stated that "by far the racst
important uncompleted function Of
the Reorganization Act" is the i'm
prcvement of congressional control
over the fiscal affairs of the Gov
ernment.
"At least so per cent of the func-
ton Of Congress is its power Of the
purse" the committee wrote yet
few Of the fiscal reforms voted in the
act were given an adequate trial
during the first session of the
Eightieth Congress"
For example, the last session failed
to carry out the mandate to Ak an
overall ceiling on the Federal
budget by February Is. Both houses
voted early last year for different
ceiling figures, but never were able
to agree.
The Heller group urged the new
session to carry out this legislative
budget feature of the law. 1t also
recommended action to establish
standardized accounting methods for
departmental expenditures, and q
continued strengthening Of the staffs
Of experts to help congressional
committees supervising Government
spending.
