Helena - In putting special
emphasis on a study of budgets
and appropriations, the Montana
Legislative council is pointing to
the heart of the state governments
fiscal management problem. The
council, a continuing body con-
sisting of six senators and six rep
resentatives, came into being
through a 1857 enactment which
has survived court attack.
AT its December meeting the
council voted to establish a sub
committee to scrutinize budget
mechanics with the objective of
developing procedures which will
result in more frugal and more
efficient expenditure of state
funds. This involves not only
the executive branch but the leg
islative as well.
The budgetary problem is an
old one in our state government.
Proponents of the state controller
law, passed in 1851, p~rofessed to
believe that it would cure the
fiscal ills, or many of them, which
so long had baffled the legislature
and fiscal administrators. In OPP
Grafton, the law has not come
up to these expectations and in
its present form has no real
chance to do so.
Under the former system there
was a state budget board COM
the governor, attorney
general and secretary of state, the
same personnel as the board of
examiners. The function of the
budget board was to review APP
o%ropriation requests and then
submit a budget to the legisla-
.ure. In practice, the budget
making job fell into the lap of
he state accountant, an employee
If the board of examiners. Both

alive committees handling ap-
,ropriations relied heavily on

Democrats Hit
|Eisenhower's
|Nideast Plan
Vote on Doctrine
By Committees Seen
Possible Tomorrow
By ]. A. O'LEARY

Two Democrats attacked the
Eisenhower Middle East resolu-
ton AS a blanket delegation OF
congressional powers to the
President, as Senate hearings
drew toward a close today.
One of them, Senator Full
bright of Arkansas. also renewed
his attacks on the conduct OF
foreign affairs by Secretary Of
State Dulles. e
The Senator described Mr.
Dulles as a Secretary who greetS
the dawn with a boast about his
triumphs, and meets the dusk
with scare-words of panic. saying
that the Nation will be ruined
unless it unites to ratify the mis-
takes he made during the day
The other critic of the resolu-
ton was Senator O'Mahoney
Democrat of Wyoming, sched-
uled as one Of the last witnesses
before the Foreign Relations and
Armed Services Committees.
Vote May Come Tomorrow
The two committees may get
down to voting on the issue by
tomorrow. and indications are
they will approve It before the
end of this week, after tying
several strings to the President s
use of 5000 million in the Middle
East between now and July /.
In testimony prepared for de-
livery at the hearings. Senator
O'Mahoney asked for an amend
ment to limit the authority re-
quested by Mr.. Eisenhower to
use American armed forces to
defend any Middle East country

mist aggression.

If the President thought secrecy
required it, he could make the

The Wyoming Senator also
proposed amendments to restrict
the use of the 5000 million men,

resolution does not appropriate

BROWNSVILLE, Ga, Feb. II.

meet soon with British Prime
Minister Macmillan and French
Premier Guy Mollet in separate
conferences, it was announced
here today.
The Eisenhower Macmillan
meeting is scheduled for Ber-
muda from March 81 through

/ ferenceS, Mr.. Hagerty said the
arrangements were mutual in
both cases"
The British and French have
been seeking meetings with the
President since soon after their
Inflated invasion of Egypt. But
Mr.. Eisenhower wanted to wait
untii events made it clear that
he was not supporting that
power move.
Presumably the air was cleared
for the top-level conferences

King Saud of Saudia Arabia for
his moves to preserve peace in
the Middle East area during the
Kings recent visit to Washing
ton.

ton to pay an official visit to
