Truman Renews Call
For 5esqui Funds at
Meeting With Cannon
House Committee Head
Says Request Will Be
Studied, Perhaps Soon

President Truman today re-
newed his request for funds for
the Districts sesquicentennial OBJ
servance at a 20-minutes confer
ence with Chairman Cannon OF
the House Appropriations Com
mittee.
Mr.. Truman's request will be
laid before the committee. Mr.
Cannon said afterward.
The House has twice turned
down funds for the project which
would celebrate the 150th ami
versary of the establishment OF
the Nations Capital.
Chairman Spence Of the House
Banking Committee accompanied
Mr.. Cannon to the White House
but told reporters with laugh he
had only sat in the meeting as
intelligent observer"
Mr.. Cannon had little to say
about the morning meeting.
I'VE discussed the matter with
the President and got his views on
the subject" he said. Asked when
the matter would be laid before
the Appropriations Committee. the
Missourian first responded when
ever it is convenient. but then
amplified it would be probably in
the near future"
While an appropriation Of 3d.
000,0 900 has been suggested to
finance the observance. which
would be known as the Freedom
Fair, Representative Cannon said
that the amount would be left up
to the committee.
President Truman originally
asked the Senate for 100000
and this was cut to 100000 in
an appropriation bill.
The House turned this down
just as had been done with ca lier
requests for smaller funds.
At present, there is resolution
pending in the House Banking
Committee to permit the Scsqui-
centennial Commission to borrow
funds from the Reconstruction
Finance Corp. in the event no ap-
preparation can be obtained.
Backers of the fair insist it will
pay for itself.
President Truman has repeat
eddy urged that the fair be
staged.

it was unnecessary.
