The World Today
CONGRESS AS DETECTIVE
BY James Marrow

WASHINGTON, JULY II Up
The detective business in con-
gress is running into big money:
almost S8,000,00O spent on special
Investigations since 1947.
This came out last week in a
report by staff of experts on
congress, working for the SEN
a e's expenditures committee.
They don't complain about tn G
number of investigations. But
they think they're needlessly ex-
pensive.
Congress. forever calling on the
executive branch of the govern
ment for more efficiency and econ
omy. acts like an Amoeba itself; it
multiplies its activities by dividing
and re-dividing itself.
It does so by setting up G. o M
mittees to handle this. that n d
the other thing. Everybody g e s
into the act. Congress started out
with, and will always have, a
number of standing committees.
They handle the regular legis-
lative problems of government,
like finances, commerce, foreign
and military affairs, and SO on.
But these committees divide up in
to subcommittee. In addition,
special committees are created.
All three kinds of committees
make investigations, since that's
one of congress most important
functions; investigations h elp in
lawmaking, checking on the ex-
ecutive branch, and keeping tn e
public informed.
Still. when you pile the SUBJ
committees and special commit
tees plus all the people hired
to work for them on top of
the ding committees and
their staffs, you get quite a bum
die.
For example, in 1945 the house

ing committee has for expenses.
Is there any solution for this !?
The experts in their report seem
to think so:
They suggest congress cut down
on hiring those temporary people
for investigations and make bet
ter use of the permanent, profess
sional men already on the pay
roll.
