Senators Urge
[Pay-as-You.GO
By the Associated Press


Three Senators urged Congress
today to put this country's f.
nances on q pay-as-you-go basis
by constitutional amendment.
Senators Byrd, Democrat OF
Virginia; Bridges, Republican OF
New Hampshire. and Curtis, Re-
publican Of Nebraska, backed
the idea in testimony before q
Senate Judiciary subcommittee,
which is considering proposals
to establish the Nation on a cash
plan except in time of national
crisis. The three have intro
duced legislation to do this.
Senator Curtis said so bills
before Congress to improve the
fiscal procedures Of Congress and
the Executive branch of the
Federal Government establish
the fact that there is real need
for improvement.
Senator Byrd said "It's i'm
operative to do something to
bring about a balanced budget, I"
adding:
"The interest on the national
debt will exceed the principal be-
fore it's paid.
Our grandchildren for gen.
erations will have to pay the
public debt"
He asked that legislation with
these provisions be approved by
the committee:
l. The President cannot pre-
sent a budget to Congress in ex-
cess of receipts.
2. If Congress proposes an in
crease in expenditures submitted
by the President, Congress
Should continue in session until
it raised taxes to take care of
the spending.

On Pension Bill
Held Unlikely
py the Assoelated rre..

for Senate action on a House
passed pension bill with a special
$90-a-month provision for World
War I veterans.
Proposals for bigger payments
to service-disabled veterans and
to veterans widows and depend
ents were stripped from the
measure during a turbulent ses-
sion yesterday in which the
House passed it and sent it to
the Senate by a 364-51 roll call
vote.
Senator Byrd. Democrat OF
Virginia. whose Finance Com
Imittee handles veterans bills in
the Senate, said his group will
consider the pension bill "as soon
as we can find a time to take it
up"
But he noted in an interview
that the Senate committee al
ready has long list of items
requiring its attention. This
late in the session a major bill
usually stands small chance of
becoming law unless it is already
well advanced.
May Hold Hearings
Senator Byrd added that the
committee may decide to hold
hearings on the legislation. Con-
lgress is hoping to adjourn with
in a few weeks.
Chairman league of the House
Veterans Affairs Committee said
the stripped-down bill as passed
by the House would cost 1856

present $78.75 pension for such
veterans who have reached age

sion rolls for 10 continuous years
A 10 per cent premium would be
added for overseas service of &c
days or more. The pensions
would go only to veterans whose

ment, its plan seemed to be "all
right"
He said the announcement
made by the White House was "a
sort Of official recognition Of the
advantages of a one-package
drive" He added that the an
nouncement also stated a policy
Of wanting to cooperate with
local organizations and that the
program admits of flexihility in
carrying out the local plans.
The plan, called the Federal
Service Plan, provides for three
periods of solicitation a year
but no more among Government
employees, both civilian and mile
tary. This applies to Government
agencies wherever they may be. 4
One for Local Needs
One period would be for meet-
Ing local community needs al
provided by community chests OF
united funds. The second would
be for national welfare and
emergency relief and services to
Armed Forces. which covers the
American Red Cross.
The third period would be for
national health agencies seeking
funds for research, care of the
stricken and health education.
Since the Red Cross in WASH
ington is now part Of the United
Givers Fund, the appeals of the
first and second categorieS are
combined. Therefore, there
would be only two appeals made
here.
In the third category, there
are such national health agencies
as the American Heart Associa-
ton. American Cancer Society,
National Foundation for Infan-
tile Paralysis and the Crippled
Children's Society. They are
not members of the United Oliver;
Fund.

and also later installment pay

The provision for no unau-
thorized disclosure of an indi-
vidual's gift or pledge will not
rule out the setting of quotas.
Nor will it m AXE impossible
periodic announcements of totals
received in relation to the quotas.
Charity Figures Total
Mr.. Young explained that, in
stead of the keymen and other
agency personnel totaling the
gifts, the gifts and pledges would
be forwarded to the charity for
which the collection is made,
which would make the tabula-
tions.
While the plan applies only to
the executive branch of the Gov
eminent. Mr.. Young said it IS
hoped the legislative and judicial
branches will subscribe to it.
The plan does not apply to
the District government. A one

among District employees and
for the fiscal year just ending,

quota was 100000.
This was reported yesterday
