fused to give Mrs. Oveta Culp
Hobby. the Secretary Of Health.
Welfare and Education, the gen.
eral authority she asked for to
transfer funds from one activity
to another and from construc-

This authority could prevent
layoffs if the department got
into a difficult financial situa-

In refusing this authority, the
committee said it was some

Hobby for asking for such pow
ers. The committee said it would
not give up its congressional
prerogative of determining the
amount OF funds to be spent for
a given activity and the agency
which is to spend such funds.

LEAVE-It'S pretty certain
now that Congress will repeal
the Thomas uSe-it-or- lose it

very likely that House-Senate

West Virginia's Budget
Held Unconstitutional
BY the Assoeioted Press

CHARLESTON, w. Va, May
l9.-The State budget enacted
by the 1858 West Virginia Leg.
islature was declared unconsti-
tutional in its entirety by a unan.
imous decision of the State Su-
preme Court yesterday.
The courts ruling made certain
a special session of the Legis-
lature in the near future.
The judges held, among other
things. that the budget act Gre
ated a deficit within the mean
ing of the States Constitution
and for that reason is wholly
unconstitutional.
The court held also that vio-
lations of the Constitution with
respect to individual budget
items were 80 numerous and
extensive" that throwing out only
those items would create "a bud
get act not intended by the Leg
iSlature."
For that reason, also, the court
said the act Is unconstitutional
in its entirety. even without TAX
ing into account that it creates
deficit.
