Senate Bill Proposes
Joint Committee
On Federal Spending
Stoff Of Experts Urged
To AnoIyze Budget
Estimates of Agencies
By ]. A. OLeoY

A joint committee to do for
Congress what the Budget Bu-
reau does for the President in
scrutinizing Federal spending was
to the Senate to-
day by its Expenditures Commit
tee.
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat,
of Arkansas, father of the idea,
predicted many millions can and
will be saved each year." if Con-
gress enacts the Joint Budget
Committee bill.
The latest in a series of steps
Congress has considered in re-
cent years to cope with the
mounting cost Of government, this
bill would:
/. Repeal the budget ceiling
law of l946. which already has
fallen into disuse. 1t was in
tended to require Congress to fix
early each year a top limit be-
yond which appropriations for
that year would not go.
Requires Expert Staff.
2. Set up instead a House-Sen-
ate committee of 18 members,
backed by a staff of experts, to
analyze the budget estimates of
all Government agencies and fur
nish the results to the Appropria-
tionS Committees. or to any other
committee dealing with new prof.
ects.
3. Require that all bills author
izing new programs carry price
tag, showing what they would
cost, not only at the start, but
for five years.
4. Empower agents of the Budg-
ct Committee to examine the
books and estimates of any Fed
eral agency.
5. Seek to encourage the House
and Senate Appropriations Com
mittees to hold joint hearings on
departmental estimates as a time
saving device, without impairing
the independent judgment of each
committee
The Expenditures Committee
also voted in favor of another
innovation that would require the
President to submit to Congress
each year an alternate balanced
budget, along with the regular
budget.
Separate Amendment.
This alternate budget plan was
not written into the bill but will
be offered as an amendment when
the measure is taken up for floor
debate. so that the Senate may
act on it separately.
The Expenditures Committee
believes these new procedures
would achieve economy in Govern
ment on a more scientific basis
than the fiat percentage cuts
being proposed in the Senate this
year
"An annual, alternate balanced
budget" said the committee re-
port. would bring to Congress,
for the first time, a picture of the
detailed and varying cuts in ap-
preparations all along the line, in
cluding program cutbacks. which
the President believes would be
necessary to accomplish the over
all reduction required to eliminate
a budget deficit"
Congress thereby would be
equipped for the first time, the
committee pointed out, with def
mite knowledge of the detailed re-
ductions necessary to avoid the
deficit implicit in the regular
Executive budget.

Reasonable Plan
Proposed by Nam.
U. N. Officers Say
BULLETIN
By the Associated Press

Inc communists were Ie-
ported here today to have Of
fered a compromise in the Ko-
rean cease-f1re talks under
which withdrawal of foreign
troops would not be discussed
until after an armistice. Indi-
cations are that this proposal
will prove acceptable to the
United Nations command.
The Reds heretofore have in
sisted that the issue of pulling
foreign troops out-U. N. forces
and Chinese Reds-Should be
on the program of armistice
talks.
Responsible information here
is that under the new Commu-
mist offer the most the U. N.
allies would have to undertake
is a promise to discuss arrange
ments under which the whole
foreign troops problem would be
taken up later.
This probably means that out
OF the armistice talks, or per-
haps parallel with them, some
understanding will be reached
for negotiations to be held
among interested governments
on the political issues of a per-
manent Korean settlement.

U. N. ADVANCE HEADQUAR-
TIERS, Korea, July 25.-Commu-
mist ceaEe-fire negotiators today
advanced a new proposal on with
drawal of foreign troops from Ko-
rea. A United Nations spokeS-
man called it reasonable in con-
tent ana phraseology."
Brig. Gen. William Nuckols,
who attended today's sessions,
said the new Red proposition was
more temperate and reasonable
in tone" than previous Commu-
mist demands.
Officially the U. N. said the new
Chinese and North Korean Sug-
gestion on troop Withdrawals was
sufficiently interesting" for Al
lied delegates to propose a long
overnight recess for further study.
Takes 25 Minutes to Read.
Neither Gen. Nuckols nor the
q. N. communique indicated ex-
actly how the Reds had modified
their demand. But Gen. NuckolS
said it required 25 minutes to
read.
The five Communist generals
brought out their new plan after
a three-day recess. They had
asked for the recess Saturday to
consult with their governments on
the troop withdrawal demand
which had threatened to break up
discussions.
Before presenting his revised
suggestion at today's ninth meet
ing, North Korean Gen. Nam Il
asked for and received a further
clarif1cation of United Nations
opposition to the original Red de-
mand. This was done in So
minute morning session.
Then, in the afternoon, Gen
Nam presented the new idea
Joy Obtains Adjournment.
After a recess, rapid-flre ex-
change followed between Gen
Nam and Vice Admiral c. Turner
JOY, head of the U. N. delegation
This clarified just what the
Communists were driving at. Ad-
miral Joy then suggested adjourn
ment until tomorrow afternoon
for full study of the new idea oS
the Allies.
To make sure there was no mis-
take. each side supplied the othel
with key portions of their posi-
tions in writing.
Gen. Nuckols said these were
the first written exchanges be-
tween the opposing delegations II

Representative Phillips, Republi-
can, of California, who had pre-
pared a broader amendment along
similar lines earlier.
Only 104 of the 200 Republicans
in the House attended a closed
conference arranged by the Re-
publican House Policy Committee
for a discussion of the Phillips
amendment. The eventual vote
Ito support the amendment indi-
Icated that it might be defeated

other Republicans and Southern
Democrats get behind it.

Republican Floor Leader Martin

the proposed amendment still is
being revised. In its present ten
tative form, they said. it would

Democrats feel they can defeat
the Philips amendment.
Earlier Attempts Failed.
"If the Republicans want to get

Democrats point out that, In
