Byrd Plans 10 Study
Unspent Billions in
Federal Agencies
BY the Associated Press

Senator Byrd, Democrat. Of Vir-
ginia, is planning early economy
moves in what he describes as
the more hopeful" prospects Of
the new Republican-controlled
Congress.
Among his economy proposals,
he said, will be a study of the
monies appropriated to various
departments but not yet spent.
These unexpended appropria-
tions will amount to an estimated
$72 billion or $75 billion at the
end of the fiscal year June 80.
Senator Byrd said in an interview.
Urges Investigation.
"There should be an investiga-
ton of why the departments need
more money If they already have
so much still unexpended," he
said. THAT amount is IL times
the value of the State of Virginia.
II think we should determine
why such balances have been ac-
cumulated."
Concerning the prospects for
greater economy in Government
spending, Senator Byrd said he
is more hopeful"
''Any change is bound to be
for the better-it can't be worse
than it has been," he said. 81
think something can be done.
Eve first should balance the
budget. After that there can be
continued economy to effect a tax
reduction"
Sen. Byrd said he will offer
again his single appropriation bill.
This provides for consideration
of all money bills in one measure
rather than in numerous bills.
The Virginian contends the sin
gle bill enables the lawmakers to
grasp better the extent Of prospec-
tive spending and also lends itself
to sharper trimming.
The proposal once passed the
Senate, and the House agreed to
use it. But Sen. Byrd wants the
single package money bill a reg
ular feature.
To Resign Post.
Sen. Byrd said he will again
offer his resignation to the Repub-
lican leaders as chairman of the
BYRD economy committee" He
has headed this group-the joint
committee on reduction of nones-
sential Federal expenditures
since it was created in 1941.
In the Republican-controlled
80th Congress he offered to resign.
But his resignation was never ac-
cepted. He continued to serve as
the only Democratic chairman in
that Congress.
He said he had no indication
what action the Republican lead
ers might take this time.

High Winds Cause
Minor Damage Around
Oakland AS Storm Hits
High Voltage Line Broken BY
Falling Limb Causes Street
Lights To Explode

High winds which accompanied a
heavy but brief thunder storm on Mon
day evening about 5 o'clock brought
minor damage to property in Oakland
and played havoc with the towns
street lights for about an hour. The
rain, however, was lifesaver to
crops.
Several trees were blown down and
numerous branches broken from other
trees. One large branch which fell
across a heavy voltage power line on
Oak street, in front of the residence
of Mrs c. n. McIntire, caused alarm
for a time when it broke the line and
caused a short circuit. Balls of fire
jumped out of more than fifty street
lights as the 6,900-volt line burned
through the 2,300-volt line and sent
a heavy charge through the street
lighting system on Oak, Second, Third,
Pennington, Liberty streets and Crook
Crest. The break also cut service to
the hospital for short time. Electric
service in the Mt. Lake Park area also
was interrupted Service was restored
quickly by the power company and
street lights replaced.
A willow tree fell near Oak street,
narrowly missing the home Of Mr..
Lamberto. Another tree in the rear
of the A. v Schaeffer property was
blown across the Baltimore and Ohio
tracks. Other trees fell >on 4th street
near the former Harne property, and
on the Golf course road. Numerous
limbs were scattered throughout the
town.
The rain was particularly heavy for
about ten minutes and the accompany
ing wind and hail beat down a num-
Der of gardens in the area. 1t was the
first soaking rain for several weeks
although there had been some rain
fall ON Sunday evening.

DEMOCRATS PICK
STEVENSON TO TOP
NOVEMBER BALLOT
John J. Sparkman, Alabama
Senator, Nominated Vice
President

Adlai Stevenson, governor of IL
linois, was nominated the Democratic
candidate for president of the United
States, at the national convention in
Chicago last Saturday. His vice-presi-
Dental running mate will be Senator
John j. Sparkman, OF Alabama.
In winning the nomination Cover
nor Stevenson defeated Senator Estes
Kefauver and Senator Richard Rus
sell, his chief contenders, and several
lesser candidates. Kefauver had led
through the first two ballots but with
out decisive edge. Stevenson was
second on each with Sen. Russell as
third. The nomination came on the
third ballot.
Stevenson, 81 years old, declared
he would talk sense to the American
people" in a campaign to keep the
presidency in Democratic hands. He
received the nomination reluctantly.
Sparkman became a member of the
after ten years Of practicing law at
Huntsville, Ala. He shifted to the
Senate in 1916. His nomination for
the vice-presidency was by acclama-
ton after the names of Mrs. India
Edwards, of Maryland, and Judge
Sarah T. Hughes of Texas were
placed before the convention and i'm
mediately withdrawn.
In the midst of the bitter fight be-
tween the extremists of the North and
South over the party loyalty issue,
it was determined to give the vice
presidential spot to a southerncr to
strengthen the party.
Much of the Democratic convention
time was taken up with struggle
over loyalty OATH" and an attempt
was made to keep Louisiana, Virginia
and South Carolina from voting until
they promised to go back home and
do all they could to put the conven-
tons nominees on the state ballots
Back of the battle was the North
erners' fear that some southern
states, riled by the national party
record on civil rights and other issues
might keep its nominees off the Dem
ocratic ballot-and perhaps throw the
election to Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhow-
er. Leaders of the three baking states
served notice they could not be bound
This week there was talk that some
Dixie segments might bolt and throw
their support to the Republican can
didacy and newspaper in Rich
mond, Va, came out for the Eisen
hover Nixon ticket, marking the frs
time since 1896 that Richmond
newspaper has supported a Republi
can presidential candidate.
The News Leader said the Republi
cans offer lone vital thing: Change
! New faces. A fresh approach"
