House Ignores Haste Charge,
Speeds Action on TideIunds
Approval of Senate Bill Expected
After Vote on Its Own Measure

the House early last month
passed a one-package bill for
State ownership of submerged
lands within State boundaries
and for Federal sovereignty over
the remainder of the continental
shelf.
The Senate passed a bill re-
lating only to State ownership.
Mr.. Celler declared that the
House. by approving the Senate
version and passing another bill
of its own on the Federal angle.
would lose its bargaining power
with the Senate on the overall
issue. He urged that the bill
passed by the Senate be sent to
a Senate-House conference.
Majority Leader Halleck told
the House that he had been as
sured by Senate Republican lead
ers that the Senate would pass
the Federal ownership bill soon
after it comes over from the
House.
On comparatively brief notice
20 of the 80 members of the
House Judiciary Committee met
yesterday afternoon. BY a IL to
8 vote the committee reported
out the Senate-approved bill and
also the new bill on Federal
control. A few hours later, the
Rules Committee cleared both
measures for House debate to-
day.

Navigation Aid Money Cut.
Beside recommending the mil

Coast Guard, the committee cut
$22.5 million from the Truman
budget request for establishment
and improvement and aids to
navigation, buying of aircraft
and improvement of vessels and
shore structures.
The White House police force
would receive $630,000, reduc-
ton of $68, 900 from the Truman
budget. The reduction contem-
plates a decrease of 1853 to 145
in the number of policemen, but
would not affect the security of
the White House, the committee
stated.
That item was contained in
the overall recommendation of
$3,505 900 for the Secret Service.
The latter sum represents a cut
of $345,000 from the Truman
budget. About $225,000 of that
cut would apply to salaries and
expenses of the Secret Service.
The committee said it was
deeply impressed" by assurances
it received from Mr.. Summerf1eld
concerning further economies
and mail service improvements
he expects to make.

The House brushed aside OBJ
jections of undue haste and ir-
regular action in moving swiftly
today toward passage of two
bills concerning State and Fed
eral ownership of submerged
offshore lands.
1t expected to approve in a
Senate-pa6sed bill establishing
State ownership of such sub
merged areas within the tradi-
tional three-mile limits or other
historic boundaries of States.
Before taking up that meas
ure, however, the House started
debate on a separate bill of it's
own to give the Federal Gov
ernment control of submerged
lands on the continental shelf
beyond those State boundaries.
House passage of both bills to-
day was believed to be almost
certain. Several members pro-
tested, however, that there was
no need to rush" action on the
Federal control bill. They also
sought to delay action by claim
ing that consideration of the
Federal control measure was out
of order.
Speaker Martin overruled that
objection.

The House Appropriations
Committee today reported out a
bill allotting $3,444,145,000 for
the Treasury and Post Office De-
partments. This was a cut of
$127.9 million or 81 per cent
from amounts requested by for
mer President Truman for the
fiscal year beginning July /.
It was the smallest percentage
reduction made by the commit
tee on any appropriation bill

sent to the House floor this year.
The Post Office Department
would get $2,832, $50, 900, about
$74.4 million less than the Tru-
man estimate, or a drop of &c
per cent. But it is 1884 million
more than the department is
spending during the current fis-
cal year.
The Treasury Department
would receive $611 1895 900 for its
regular operations. not including
various fixed charges. This is a
reduction of 1884 million or
about 9 per cent from the Tru-
man budget and $438 million
from the current years appro-
priation.
Job Cut of 3,167 Asked.
The committee noted the rec
commended outlays for the
Treasury Department would re-
suit in 3,167 fewer jobs than
the Truman budget listed. The
indicated reduction would in
clude a decrease of 1,159 in
the military personnel of the
Coast Guard, leaving a total of
33,677.
The report. which is the
fourth major appropriation bill
sent to the House for the coming
fiscal year, did not apply to the
Reconstruction Finance Corp.
and Export Import Bank. The
committee observed that a move
is under way to abolish RFC and
that revisions in the Export I'M
port Bank would result from a
pending reorganization bill.
Reduces Tax Bureau Funds.
The bill would give the Inter-
nal Revenue Bureau $266 mil
lion or Sos million less than the
original request. It would re-
duce the bureaus employment
by 1.700 positions.
But there remains room foI
improvement. particularly in the

Curb on TV Station Cost.
The presidential request was
based on the recommendation of
the Bureau Budget, he explained
in his statement to Congress.
The request for the educational
TV station provided that no more
than $305, 900 be made available
for the construction of the plant
and its equipment.
1t also provides that all rev.
enues received from the opera
ton of the station go to the Dis
trict Collector of Taxes for de-
post in the Treasury to the
credit of the District.

ment fund for public schools in

intended.

the House will approve the full
$12 million Federal payment to

tions Subcommittee in charge of
the city's record 1854 budget Of
$148 million, while making no
predictions, seem impressed with
the demands for service and the
dwindling share paid by the

recommend the full SIP million.
It will write it's version of the
bill early next week. Some re-
ductions in spending plans are
expected.
Real Test Due in House.
Approval by the full committee
then would send the bill to the
House, where the real test would
come on the size of the Federal
share. Last year, the House
moved to slice this by 20 per cent
but later compromised on a much
more moderate cut of 81 million.
