A Letter
rom Bill Laniaii
Dear Neighbor.

Dear NelghbDr:
A South Florida gentleman wrote
me a few days ago about my pro-
posal for an automatic budget
balancer as the answer to elimina-
ton of deficit spending and the
road to lower taxation.
In his letter he wrote, uBilI, I've
had q lot Of folks tell me about
your automatic budget.halaneer
which you discussed down here
during July and August, All the
folks say it's the most realistic
approach to balancing the budget
but most of the folks couldn't ex.
plain to me what type gadget IT
was or exactly how it worked. I'm
sorry ! missed your explanation of
this proposal, in persons and In the
press, and wondered If you might
send me a memo on it.
Well, In answering this neighbor,
your Congressman explained ii was
not gAget. II isn't RUDE Gold
berg lHventianstype device with
many wheels and button to press
that would start a machine to
manufacture a eure,all end product.
II is simply an amendment that
would act as governor on the
spending limit of our Federal
Government,
AT the present time there are a.
bout ten appropriation bills pre-
scented to Congress each year,
There's an appropriation bin for
the Independent Agencies, the De.
partment Of Justice, Commerce,
Post Office and Defense, for ex.
ample. Congress considers each APP
preparation bill separately over a
period Of eight ar ten weeks. When
this action Is completed the total
sum appropriated may be more,
OF less, than the total revenues, II
is usually more which results 10 an
unbalanced budget.
Let's say, for example and in
round figures. after Congress has
utilized every means TO trim the
fat from each one Of these appro-
| priatinn bills they approve one mil.
| lion dollars for each Of the ten De.
paFtments. When they approve the
| final appropriation bill they find
that the total amount approved for
all these Department Is ten million
dollars. Now, and only now, Is a
look taken al our total revenues,
| the money that win be taken in BY
government. Say this revenue will
be nine million dollars. We find our,
selves in position Of spending one
million dollars more than We will
| take In. This means deficit spend.

lowed a general pattern in most
|of the counts to the effect that
he "unlawfully, knowingly, will
fully and feloniously received
compensation as retainer fee
for services rendered :"
The indictments were returned
by the special District rackets
grand jury, which had been in
ivestigating influence peddling as
well as narcotics and gambling.
Carries TwO-Year Term.
If convicted all the defendants
face a maximum penalty of two
years in Jail and a $4,000 fine
on each count of influence ped
ding and five years and $4,000
on the conspiracy charge.
Shaver and Cooper were jointly
charged with six counts of influ-
ence peddling and abetting such
practices. They were both charged
with a seventh count of conspir-
acy to violate statutes forbidding
a Government employe to repre-
sent private firms in matters in
which the Government is inter-
ested.
Mr.. Fihelly said the investiga-
ton cleared Mrs. Flo Bratton, a
secretary to Vice President Bark
ley. who was linked with influence
attempts when the cases were first
made public last year.
Last fall a Senate committee
looked into reports that Mrs. Brat
ton and Shaver helped swing a
$1,1 million Government loan
sought to build Florida luxury
hotel. Both denied any wronedo-
ing, and Mr.. Barkley said that, if
Mrs. Bratton did anything along
that line. it was against my spe-
Icific instructions.
Shaver told reporters in October
that he and Mrs. Bratton had
visited several RFC directors early
in 1850 and urged them to grant
Ia million-plus loan for construc-
ton of hotel in Miami. He also
said they had urged RFC approval
of a loan to the Mercury Record
Co. of Chicago. Neither of these
matters were included in the
charges deemed by the grand jury
Ito justify a trial.

sells who now are public officials
or work for the Justice Depart
mentt. He said his definition of
public officials included all those
who work in the legislative or ex-
Iecutive branches of the Federal,
State or local governments.
Mr.. McGranery said the Justice
Department would review promptly
each report on graft or corruption
by Government officials or en-
ployeS. The review, he said, would
examine the adequacy and pro-
Ipriety" of the action that the
United States attorneys took in
each case.
He asked the attorneys to give
special attention to cases of Com
munist activities and "all cases of
bribery and tax evasion and any
Federal law violation that gives
evidence of criminal conspiracy to
aid vice and encourage organized
crime in horse racing, boxing or
other sports and gambling"

the law"

late rules of future action to

six months and explain promptly
to Washington why any unusual
delays occur.
2. Unfailingly prosecute persons
who commit perjury or encourage
others to do so.
3. Keep confidential investiga-

She doesn't really know much
