House Move Develops
To Substitute Hoover
For Morris in Probe

"A controversy III the HOUSE
Judiciary Committee over the
conduct Of President Truman's
anti-corruption inquiry widened
today, as Representative Walter,
Democrat, Of Pennsylvania. pro-
posed that FBI Director J. Edgar
Hoover take over thes cleanup
drive.
Mr.. Walters proposal came in
a new bill which would substitute
Mr.. Hoover for Newbold Morris,
and give the FBI chief the power
to issue subpoenas and grant i'm
munity to certain witnesses in
the probe.
The controversy has developed
around President Truman's re-
quest Of such powers for Mr..
Morris, who already has begun
his investigation.
Senate Block Set Up.
In a move designed to block Mr..
Morris, the Senate judiciary Com
raittee has approved a bill which
would allow the President to name
a new cleanup chief. The new
appointee would have subpoena
powers, but would have to be con-
firmed by the Senate.
Chairman Celler of the House
committee has said he favors CIV
ing the subpoena power to Mr..
Morris. However. a subcommittee,
which he also heads, has approved
a compromise measure. under
which a new White House ap-
pointee could obtain subpoenas
through Federal judges.
; Mr.. Walter, a member Of the
judiciary group. introduced his
bill shortly after a. meeting OF
the full committee yesterday. The
group had been expected to vote
on the subcommittee measure, but

he intended to bring up the sub

Associoted Press Stoff Writer


Remember those grim March
evenings when the man of the
house clears the table and gets
out his old check stubs to work
on his income tax return?
The normal family scurries for
the other room and keeps quiet.
That mans thankless and lonely
role is about like the one Senator
Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia, has
played for the past IL years.
He is on the Senate Finance
Committee, which has to decide
how heavy Federal taxes will be.
When he first went on the COM
mittee, he started asking:
What are we taxing for?"
what are we going to spend?'
How much taxes must we
have?"
Few Know Now.
No one knew, and few know
now except Senator Byrd's small
Office staff-and those who will
take time to read their reports
Each year a wider group reads
these reports. Last year Senator
Byrd had 81 Senators informally
behind the tax reforms he wants
But not enough of them would
vote to bring his reform bill tt
the Senate for debate. He'll try
again.
| This is the way Congress figure!
out now what it will spend in any
given year:
The Senate and the House de.
bate appropriation bills for sepa-
rate divisions of the Government
from January through June. RICH
now they have 10 such appropria.
ton bills to go through.
Only when both houses have
passed all of them will Congress
have the vaguest notion of the
total to be spent in the "fisca
year" beginning July LIST.
Spending Outweighs Income.
For 18 out of the past 81 years
Washington has spent more thar
it has taken in. This has forced
the Treasury to borrow (sel
bonds to meet the bills.
When World War II arrived an
other quirk in Washington spend
ing happened.
Congress had to appropriate
huge sums for big military prof.
ectS like aircraft carriers, which
cannot be built and paid for al
in one year. Such sums were ap-
propriated in one year but spent
over several.
Senator Byrd estimates $72 bill
lion in such appropriations were
on the books in January.
/ Here are the reforms he would
like Congress to adopt:
l. He wants Congress to study
all appropriations together-in a
single bill-so it will always have
before it the total sum it is plan
ming to spend.
For Calculating Expenses.
2. He wants the single budget
bill to show also just what will be
spent in ally given year so the sum
can be compared with the money
the Government will take in that
year.
/ 3. He wants Congress to put
limits on spending for each veal
ahead so that there can be some
control of deficits.
! For several years Senator Byrd
small research staff-flve people
has worked out a Byrd budget
for the Senate to consider.
1t has brought to light many
things that no one knew before
For example, this year was the
first time since l945 any one hao
added up all the unexpendec
funds on the Treasury books.
The Byrd staff study of the
Presidents budget is unique ir
Washington. The stats phone
rings regularly with calls from
other Congress members seeking
information. People from all over
the courlyry write in for digest
of it
