For Capitol Police

The House yesterday tenta-
lively approved an additional
$4,000 for the proposed reor-
ganization and strengthening OF
the Capitol police force.
The item appeared in q SIS
billion supplemental appropria-
ton bill on which the House
planned to take q final vote to-
day. In the reading of the bill
yesterday there was no objec-
ton or suggested amendment to
the Capitol police section.
A separate bill to set up a
professional career force Of 200
Capitol policemen was reported
out last week by the House Ad-
miniStration Committee and was
expected to be debated by the
House late this week. The $175,-
900 tentatively approved In the
supplemental appropriation bill
would give q total of 1854, 585
for the Capitol police. The adj
ditional sum would provide for
employment Of 43 more men
and for uniforms. firearms and
miscellaneous equipment.

bill was reported out last week by

Other items tentatively APP
proved yesterday included: au-

$4,000 additional for Federal
court jurors and commissioners
fees because OF an 8 per cent
increase in jury trials; and $275.-

Dispense With ssrriIls."
Representative Davis, Wiscon-
sin Republican on the commit
tee. said his group was deter
mined to continue the "austerity
program" in military constrlIc-
ton. This, he explained, would
provide essentials but do away
with ''frills. =
He cited the Naval Academy's
request for a $50 million in adj
ditional, physical training IA
cilities as an item that the COM
mittee rejected because 1t
seemed to be excessive in both
cost and scope" He said the
gymnasium at Georgetown Uni
versity was built at q cost pro-
portionately far less than the
amount sought for Q gymnasium
at Annapolis.
Among amendments expected
to be offered today were those
Of Representative Wigglesworth,
Republican, Of Massachusetts,.
to provide the full $82.6 million
requested by Gen. Eisenhower
for ship construction instead of
the 81 million recommended
by the committee. He received
promises of support by some
Democrats as well as Republi-
cans who warned the cut would
"decimate" the merchant ma
rine.
Several members said they
would try to restore the $8.4
million, requested by the admin
istration but refused by the COM
mittee, for a census of business,
Misunderstanding and mineral In
terests. A move also was sched-
uled to be made for restoration
of $165, 900 for the Children's
Bureau to do special work on
juvenile delinquency.

In section by section reading
Of the bill yesterday the House

would be 1884, 85.

House Republican leaders. ex-
pecting some aid from Demo-
Gratis, hoped today to reverse the
House Appropriations Commit
tee and restore many Of the mill
lions cut from President Eisen-
hower's request for $40 billion
in supplementary funds for 10
agencies and programs.
General debate on the supple
mental appropriation bin yester-
day disclosed that several Re-
publican as well as Democratic
members will offer amendments
before a final vote on the meas
ure late today.
The House seldom overturns
its Appropriations Committee on
major departmental supply bills.
At this session it has done so
only on those for the Agricul-
ture, Commerce and Health
Education and Welfare Depart
ments and the Army.
But legislative leaders dis
closed that the 80 per cent cut
made by the committee in the
Eisenhower requests in this in
stance not only brought protests
from the White House but
aroused considerable opposition
in congressional Republican
ranks.
Restoration Sought.
Principal amendment efforts
today were aimed at restoring
amounts the committee clipped
from shipbuilding proposals, the
Federal aid to airport program,
hospital construction, military
public works projects and civil
defense.
Gen. Eisenhower asked for q
total of $1,959, 958,267 in emer-
gency appropriations for the
various agencies or programs
during the fiscal year which
started July /. The House COM
mittee trimmed the total to
$1,194, 188,079, q slash Of $685.
770,188.
Committee Chairman Tabor,
of New York not only defended
those cuts but also told the
House yesterday that they were
not as bad as they seemed. He
declared that in most cases there
were sufficient unexpended or
unobligated balances on hand
