The House indorsed President
Eisenhower's budget plans fol
reclamation construction and in
vestigation yesterday, wiping out
$33, ,654,558 in cuts made by its
appropriations committee.
Giving the committees usually
honored recommendations the
harshest treatment in years, the
House approved exactly what Mr..
Eisenhower asked for construc-
ton, $146, 100000. The commit
tee had recommended $113,220,-
900.
At the same time, in approving
an omnibus money bill for var
ious types of public works, it
boosted funds for reclamation
project surveys from the COM
mittee-suggested $3,669,44 to
$5,104,000. Again, this was what
the President asked.
In the case of the construction
program, the House increased al
locations for all individual pro-
jects to the budget requests,
granting the full administration
proposals even to those projects
for which funds had been deleted
by the committee.
The drive to boost the survey
funds was led by Representative

has been going on for the rs
years or more. Further, the
measure would order the Defense
Secretary to certify the change
overs and report them to House
and Senate Appropriations Com

The committee declared that
this language would prevent the
administration from taking ac-

military services should contract

now performed by their own
personnel.
The citizens committee served
notice that it would seek to get
the section deleted during debate

next week.
A committee aide also said
the White House had shown in

Air Plea Hit
By the Associated Press

A spokesman for scheduled
airlines said today the non
scheduled airlines want just
enough freedom of entry" to
get their own coveted route
awards.
Stanley Gewirtz. executive as
siStant to the president Of the
Air Transport Association, said
that If the non-scheduled air
lines should get the routes they
want, the scheduled lines in a
struggle for survival would have
to abandon service to about 500
Iof the smaller cities on their
routes.
Mr.. Gewirtz told a House Judi
Iciary subcommittee on antitrust
matters, in a prepared statement,
that the airlines then would
operate only between the so most
profitable pairs Of cities.
He said applicants for new
routes frequently call for free
dom Of entry" into the airline
industry. and complain that the
Civil Aeronautics Board has fol-
lowed an ill-advised closed-door
policy.
"But freedom Of entry is only
Ia catchWOrd intended to ad.-|
vance particular interests" Mr.
Gewirtz said.
What the exponent seeks is
just enough freedom of entry toI
get their own coveted route
award, limited to the most lucra-
tive trafflc centers-and then lett
the door close behind them !
1.-THE argument of freedom of
entry is only an argument for
favored privilege. Those who
PROFOUND 1t have, in many re-
spects, combined in their own
field to squeeze out their own
little competitors.
THAT Is a real manifestation
Of monopoly which might WE'LL
deserve this committees veryI
careful scrutiny"
Mr.. Gewirtz said there is more
competition among the sched-
uled airlines than in any other
form Of scheduled carrier trans
portation.
