Appropriations
Continued From First Page.

mented by these Federal appro-
priations.
The effect of the committee
action, some Democratic men,
bers said, is to defer payment
rather than to effect an econ
omy, since the Government will
have to put up the money even
tually when the income from
employe contributions alone is
not adequate to meet retirement
payments made from the fund.
Similarly, Democrats claimed,
the committees denial in full of
a request for $188 million to ac-
quire strategic and critical ma
terials is a 'phony" saving, since
the money probably will have
to be put up later.
$457 Million Balance.
The committee said the Gen.
eral Services Administration,
which handles the stockpiling
program, will have an unobli-
gated balance of around $457
million on June 80 and can
Finance its 1854 program from
that fund. The balance is from
money appropriated in past
years but not yet spent because
the materials to be stockpiled
haven't been available. If the
program contemplated by Con-
gress is to be carried out, Demo-
Gratis said, additional appropria-
tions will have to be made
later.
The committee claimed an
eventual saving of $795 million
would result from its recommen-
dation that no new public hous-
ing units be started in 1854.
Congress in 1949 authorized
construction of $4,000 housing
units in each of six years start
ing July /, 1949. On February
% of this year 1882 units had
been completed for occupancy,
86,177 were under construction
and 8.135 had been approved for
construction.
The 1852 appropriation bill
cut to $4,000 the new housing
starts during the present fiscal
year, and President Truman pro-
posed $4,000 more units for fiscal
1854.
Program Held Not justified.
The committee said the hous-
ing program is not justified and
is not in accord with the pro-
gram for economy and a bal
anced budget. It added that the
Public Housing Administration
is having difficulty completing
the occupancy of some units al
ready built.
A hot floor fight over the COM
mittee's housing recommends
ton is almost certain when the
bill is debated next week.
A $1,271,088, 900 improvement
in the Treasury's cash position
was foreseen by the committee
as result of it's recommendation
that the Federal National Mort
gage Association sell during the
coming year to private investors
81 billion of its mortgage hold
ings and that the Public Housing
Administration refund with pri-
vate money $271 .088, 900 of local
housing authority bonds it holds.
Proceeds would go into the
Treasury.
The FNMA is a market for
FILA insured mortgages and for
veterans housing mortgages.
The committee said FNNIA may
have to slightly discount some
of the mortgages it sells.
No New Cars for Agencies.
The committee also recon-
mended:

the Presidents, salary. This cut
was made at White House rec
ommendation. The 81 million
sought for the Presidents emer-
gency fund was trimmed to ap-
proximately 100000.
3. That the Federal Commu-
nications Commission concen-
trate on applications for TV and
safety and special radio services.
The FEC budget was cut from
So million to ST. million.
4. That the Public Building
Service use private rather than
Government architects to design
and construction buildings.
5. That Housing and Home
Finance Agency loans to educa-
tional institutions be limited to
$21 million during the 1854 fiscal
year instead of SIG million.
Cut for Aeronautics.
s. That the National Advisory
Committee for Aeronautics defer
construction of low priority
projects and get along on $64,-

it had requested.
7. That the National Science
Foundation budget be cut from
SIS million to $5,724,400.
8. That the Tennessee Valley
Authority defer, pending later
committee action, consideration
of moving its headquarters from
Knoxville, Tenn, to Muscle
Shoals, Ala.
The bill contained no funds
for the Veterans Administra-
ton, the Atomic Energy Com
mission, the Tennessee Valley
Authority or the Selective Serv-
ice Commission, all of which
normally are financed in the in
dependent Offices measure. Funds
for these agencies will be han
died in a separate bill due to
reach the House in May.

1t was pointed out that shore
duty starts on the date the man
reports in the continental United
States.
If an individuals tour ashore is
ended for his own convenience at
any time before its normal expira-
tion, he viii be considered to have
served a regular tour of shore
duty. This is new in that a man
previously had to complete IL
months before he was charged with
full shore tour.
Formerly a sailor could turn
down orders to shore duty if he
didn't care for the duty assigned.
This no longer holds true under
the new directive.
The only way an enlisted man
may now decline such orders is
to have insufficient obligated SER
vice and refuse to extend his en-
listment the necessary time.

The same applies to those on nom

New Policies
For ALL EN-
By BILL SEAT0N
Navy Times Writer

Washington - Time needed at
sea before request for shore duty
can be filed has been juggled for
IS enlisted Navy ratings by a new
sea-shore rotation directive which
is effective from / Jan.
The directive also makes i'm
portant changes in the policy to
be followed when a sailor refuses
shore duty, or ends a shore duty
prematurely. It also changes poll
cies affecting total service.
The new order-BuPers Instruc-
tion 13O6.2O-cancels Circular Letter
$3.50, the old shore duty directive,
but pertains only to assignments
made by the Bureau Of Naval Per-
sonnet and not to fleet shore duty
assignments made by commanders
afloat.
All hands are reminded fl,as

them on tihe shore duty sIioibi-
lily list; HE beach must be re-

many men ere not aware ef
this.
Once on this waiting list indiyi-
duals are picked for shore assign
ments according to length of con-
tin0us sea service, need for the
particular rate and the location re-
quested.
Of the 10 ratings which were
given new sea duty requirements
BY the Instruction, II had the time
cut by six months, q year or two
years. Men in four Of the remain
ing seven ratings viii have 10
serve a year longer before becom-
ing eligible to request shore duty,
and first second and third class
ships servicemen had two years
added.
Changes In the chart Of required
sea duty for each rating (printed
at the end Of this story) are made
from time to time. il was explained,

Here are the list Of the 70
changes:

Another major change which
went into effect Jan involves
obligated service. This qualifica-
ton for shore duty has been gear
ed to the shore tour Of each rate.
In other words, a man who re-
eeives orders to shore duty must
have time remaining on his en-
Iistment, or agree TO extend, equal
to the length of the shore duty
for his rate, before his transfer,
Up to now, obligated service Of
