Continued Funds Jam
Likely Until House
Winds Up Holiday
z Big Bills DeodIocked
While Conferences on
Others Are Uncertain
By J. A. O'Leory

Four big appropriation bills still
tied up in Congress are apt to
stay that way until late in Sep
tember because of the House de-
cision to go fishing while the
Senate struggles on by itself.
There were no indications yes
terday that conferees will be able
to do much, if anything. to settle
differences between the two
branches over these money bills
until the House recess ends on
September 81.
BY that time some Government,
departments will have been func-
tioning nearly three months or
the authority of stop-gap resolu-
tion, which enables them to meet
payrolls. but leaves officials ir
doubt as to how much they will
have in this fiscal year for new
projects.
The Governments fiscal year
starts July l, so that when these
stymied bills finally become law
a fourth of the year will be over.
Small Items Hold Up. ECA Bill.
The two bills in the center of
the log jam are:
The $750,000, 900 Civil Functions
measure, carrying funds for flood
control and river -and-harbor i'm
provements throughout the coun-
try. 1t passed the House in March,
went through the Senate May 20,
and has been in the hands of a
Joint conference committee since
June l.
The $500. .0OO,0 900 Foreign Eco
nomic Aid bill. to finance the sec
ond year of the Marshall plan and
the cost of government and re-
lief in the occupied areas of Ger
many. Austria and Japan.
The aid bill passed the House
in May. 1t went through the Sen
ate August 8. and has been tied
up in conference for three weeks,
not because of the billions it con-
tains for mic recovery
abroad. but because managers for
the two branches cannot agree on
two comparatively small items.
These are Senate amendments
allowing $344,000 for the Congress
sional Watchdog Committee to
keep an eye on overseas spending.
and $25,0 to restudy the question
of dismantling German industrial
plants.

Since the House decided to go
home the Senate also has passed
