Simpler Procedure
Heads u. 5. Budget
Reform Proposals

NEW YORK, Mar. % (P.-A
program of budgetary reform for
the National Government is
proposed by DR.. Arthur Smithies,
Harvard University professor and
chairman of the university's
economics department. in
book to be published today after
a three-year study financed by
the Committee for Economic
Development.
THE budget is now so large
that mismanagement can start
as imitation or a depression or
can impede the progress of eco
nomic growth" wrote DR..
Smithies, former chief of the
Budget Bureaus economics
branch.
The CED, a non-profit eco
nomic research organization of
business leaders and educators,
said the author was given COM
plete freedom to find his own
conclusions when he was COM
missioned to make the study.
The result, a 486-page book.
is a comprehensive analysis of
the problems involved in the
determination and control of
Government expenditures.
DR.. Smithies presented de-
tailed proposals to make the
budget more understandable and
to simplify executive branch
preparation and congressional
action
The author noted that in 1929
the Federal budget was slightly
less than SO billion, under 3 per
cent of the Nations total output
of $104 billion in goods and serv-
ices. In fiscal 1854. Government
expenditures had climbed to $68
billion, or about 20 per cent of
the $3.50 billion of gross national
product, he said.
The failure to match this
growth with adequate improve
ment in the budgetary process
should be a matter of major ma
tional concern. DR.. Smithies said.
His study offers recommended
tons covering all aspects of the
budget, from planning through
presentation, enactment, expen-
diture control and review.
