More Efficiency in Handling
Augmentation Bills Studied

The budget ceiling law passed by
Congress two years ago, and still in
effect, requires House and Senate
fiscal experts to estimate the over
all income and outgo of the Govern
ment for the next fiscal year by
February IS.
Members of Congress are sharply
divided, however, over the feasibility
of fixing a ceiling that early which
will stand up after all the appro-
priation subcommittee have gone
through detailed study of each de-
partment's needs. This process usu-
ally goes on right up to June 30.
In fixing the February Is ceiling
on spending, the House and Senate
leaders do not have time to dig into
the itemized requirements of each
department. For that reason, the
ceiling figure has become only a
goal at which to shoot The new
plan of having all appropriation
subcommittee begin work simulta-
neously at the start of the session,
if it is agreed to, may offer solu-
ton Of the need for more effective
budget ceiling procedure.
1t also would be a step in the
direction of the plan advocated by
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia and Senator Butler, Republi-
can, of Nebraska for one omnibus
appropriation bill in order to let
the House and Senate weigh the
budget of one department against
another. House members are not
considering going that far at this
time, however. They would continue
to bring out separate department
bills earlier in the session.
Although some of the House ap-
preparation subcommittee may be
thrown together to reduce the num-
Der, it appeared doubtful today that
the District of Columbia subcom-
mittee would be affected. One in
f1uential member pointed out the
District budget is a big job entirely
apart from Federal requirements.

Is Score With

By Lawrence Perry
NEW YORK.

II NEW xO6tA.
Evidence continues to multiply
that while it takes money to make a
show, conversely 1t takes O show to
make money. Two Of the latest
demonstrations Of this were re-
vealed last week in the play Leaf
and Bough," young Joseph Hayes
first broadway venture, and the
Anthony B. Farrell Sammy Lambert
production, "Au For Love-" at the
Mark Hellinger theater. This last
Is q advertisement gorgeous In in
vestiture Of scenery and costume
but lacking. In sharpness of wit,
deity sketches, pervading fun and
melodic charm.
While Mr.. Hayes play owns griev-
GUS faults, 1t has merits of signal
quality. The story tells Of one of
those farm families so often cited as
| the Nations backbone and of a city
family, barren Of any such claim to
distinction.
Play Cropping Affair.
A son Of the town clan and a girl
Of the farm fall in alove, with re-
sultant clash of their families-the
rural one pretty rugged and fine, the
urban one incredibly cynical and
depraved. Three scenes, especially
one on q hillside, between the girl
and her lover, who has seduced her,
rise high in the writing-and the
acting, too. But, otherwise, the
play gropes and wanders.
As for the revue, "All For Love-"
1t Is difncult to see how 1t can long
endure, granting 1t is still appearing
at this writing. In any case Tony
Farrell stands as gallant sort
whose prodigality could make Of him
constructive, highly valuable as
set to the metropolitan theater.
A dynamic man, slightly below
medium height-he suggests a being

rell descended upon Broadway with
at least one essential asset, bulg-
ing bank account. For assets more
closely associated with Snowman
ship, he made contact with Sammy
Lambert, long established as one Of

Lambert's know-how served to pre-.
vent their first enterprise, a musical

Next he and Lambert launched

tainment, supplemented by a score
of eye-filling chorus girls, singing
and dancing chorus men, glorious
costumes, scenic effects and %
forth and so forth.
While rehearsals were in prog
ress, Mr.. Farrell spent $250,0O0 in
making his theater, renamed Mark
Hellinger, into a gorgeous abode Of
Thespis, and we advise you to drop
in there. For even If the show fails
adequately to please, you will find
suitable compensation In the richly
ornate foyers, rotunda with bowed,
golden balconies overhead and
roseate auditorium, with its drapes
and paneled frescoes. Mr.. Farrell
has the ardent wishes of every one
that he may get his money back
and much more besides.
