Address Given
By Mrs. Hobby

Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby de-
clared yesterday that the De-
partment of Health, Education
and Welfare is being budget-wise
like the other Government de-
partments, and that it is going
about budget cuts judiciously.
In a talk before the Congress
Sional Club. the only woman
member of President Eisenhow-
er's cabinet. declared: I'm rela-
ton to the other departments
we're trying to make cuts, not
in an indecisive way. but care
fully. to see how it fits into the
picture as a whole"
Mrs. Hobby said so many peo-
pie ask why a department that
spends SAG billion a year can't
cut more from its budget. The
answer is that it has no control
over some expenditures, she
pointed out.
AS an example, Mrs. Hobby
explained that 98.8 per cent of
a $1,722,544,870 appropriation
the department is asking from
Congress for the next fiscal year,
must go to meet the health,
welfare and education demands
of the various States. AS a DOS
slble budget cut. she added, it is
"as uncomfortable an item as
the installment payment on your
car or the mortgage on your
home"
