perior asked him what was going

The officers were rather .criti-

1t was stupid to issue q formal
directive to a man in an adjoin-
ing room when the officer could
have stopped in and made his
wishes known with a few words.
There was much mention OF

One officer asked another,

The laughter that greeted that

Budget 70 Yield
Some Control
Over Spending
Bs Tie Assosiaied Pfsss

Senator Byrd, Democrat, Of
Virginia, said today Congress
may gain some added control
over Federal spending next year
|if the Eisenhower administration
adopts o proposed change In
submitting its budget.
Senator Byrd disclosed that
Secretary Of the Treasury Hum
|phrey recently told the Senate
Finance Committee In o closed
session the administration is
working on o plan to return to
10 system Of annual review Of
appropriations BY Congress.
Billions In Unspent Funds
As the virginian explained 1t,
this would involve abandonment
|of the present system under
which Congress has piled up
around 500 billion In unspent ap-
preparations to be used by the
|executive departments In the
next several years.
Instead. he said, Congress
would be asked to vote only the
amount to be spent in the forth
coming fiscal year. giving con-
tract authority for projects such
as dams and naval ships which
require more than q year to
lconstruct.
Under such q plan, Congress
would review each year the
amount to be spent on the con-
tracts, instead Of voting as 1t
does now q lump sum for the
project to be spent over sew
leral years.
Wants to Regain Control
IF this system can be put into
effect" Senator Byrd said in an
interview. "it will help Com
lgress regain its control over ex-
fpenditures. As matters stand
now. once the appropriations are
made. the executive department
can decide when to spend them.
"The appropriations bills
which have been passed by this
Congress, plus about $50 billion
IN carryover funds. total about
$l25 billion. That's enough to
run the Government for about
two years and Congress has moth
ing more to say about when 1t
win be spent"

BY ROBERT X. WALSH

Chances of congressional ac-
tion on proposed Federal financ-
ing Of polio vaccine viii depend
largely on what happens at q
House subcommittee session this
week, sponsors Of such measures
believe.
Outside developments also
could have q major bearing on
whatever decision Congress it
self makes before adjournihg
late this month.
From the legislative stand
point, however, a new bill spon-
sored by House Commerce Com
|mittee Chairman Priest, Demo-
|crat. OF Tennessee, repeatedly
has the inside track. It offers q
compromise between an admin
istration supplementary aid''
proposal and an "all out" plan
backed by Democrats on the
Senate Labor and Public Welfare
Committee.
Some Factors Involved
But, in the opinion Of some
members especially interested In
the polio vaccine problem, the
outlook for or against Mr..
Priests bill or any other meas
|ure could be affected by such
currently undetermined factors
as:
/. Findings in q report which
the Public Health Service plans
to issue soon. possibly in a day
|or two. on the so-called Gutter
Incident" A comparatively large
number Of paralytic polio cases
we're traced last April to some
lots of vaccine produced at the
Cutter Laboratories, Inc, Berke-
ley, Calf. PHS has not yet dis
closed the results Of its investi-
cation to determine the exact
cause Of that trouble in the man.
ufacturing or testing.
2. Any widespread decision by
States and local communities to
defer mass incubation programs
at least until after the ''polio
season" ends in late summer
Several postponements of that
kind have been announced. al
though not on q country-wid
scale. In any event. because OF
the general suspension Of the
mass incubation program, suf-

be available in the next few
months except for completion Of
the program for first and second
grade school children.
3. Release of further lots o.
vaccine by a clearance commit
tee Of experts which met last
Friday and Saturday at the Ma
tional Institutes of Health, Be-
|thesda. None has been released
since June 6. The committee con-
ferred with technical represent
|atives of vaccine manufacturers
mainly concerning the operation
of recently established stricter
testing standards. A spokesman
said that review and recon-
|mendations concerning release OF
vaccine was not the, primary
purpose of the meeting and no
public announcement concerning
release of vaccine is anticipated
as an immediate outcome Of the
meeting"
To Discuss Financing
The House Commerce Commit
tees subcommittee on health and
science, which last month heard
la panel of polio experts discuss
scientific aspects of the vaccine
problem, will take up the flnanc-
ling question at a closed meeting
Wednesday. Mr.. Priest Is chair
man of the subcommittee.
Besides discussing Mr.. Priests
bill. it will consider the admins
Itration's proposal for about $35
million In Federal grants to
States as supplementary aid In
helping their public health de-
|partments meet the added bur-
|dens Of distributing vaccine.
The proposal to give States
about $135 million in Federal
grants to buy vaccine for free
vaccination of all persons under
the age of 20 was made origin
ally in q Senate bill sponsored
|hy Senator Hill. Democrat. Of
Alabama. Senator HilY has the
backing of all fellow Democrats
ION the Labor and Public We'll
fare Committee Of which he is
chairman.
His bill Is opposed by Repub-
|licans on committee, and by
Welfare Secretary Hobby. Amer
|ical Medical Association Spokes-
men, and others. The committee
has not met on the measure
since holding two days Of public
hearings May IA and Is.
Similar Bills In House
Similar measures have been
introduced in the House, how
ever and are expected to be
discussed at the House subcom-
|mittee meeting Wednesday.
MFR Priests bill would provide
about $38 million in Federal
grants to States. This would be
for assistance in buying vaccine
and in administrative costs Of
inoculation programs.
It differs from the administra-
|tion measure in the formula 1t
would apply for allotments to
States. 1t also gives States con-
siderable latitude in determin-
ing eligibility for free vaccina-
|tions. even to the extent Of In
|oculations without cost to all
children under 20.
At the same time it would bar
any means test or ''other dis
termination" by public agencies
