Byrd Considers Move
10 Restrict Spending

recapture for Congress more
control Of these future expendi-
lures.
New Condition Cited
The resolution would be SINH
lar to previous ones offered by
Senator Byrd as single appro-
priation bill" measures.
The new proposal, however,
would seek to go farther and
extend congressional control over
spending from these unspent
funds.
Senator Byrd told the Senate
this week that in recent years
"a new condition has arisen
which gives to the President very
great control over the rate of
annual expenditures"
This is due. he said, to the
unspent balances of appropria-
tons and authorizations.
Even if Congress cuts appro-
priations, Senator Byrd added,
the President in many in
stances can. if he desires. use
these unexpended balances to
continue the rate of annual ex-
penditures without reduction"
Spending Not Controlled
OF course. it could only be
done within certain limits" but
unexpended balances ARE run
ming high in many Federal pro-
grams" he added.
Il wish to make it clear >"
Senator Byrd said. that Con-
gress can cut the appropriations,
but. because of the huge unex-
pended balances. expenditure
reduction does not necessarily
follow"
Senator Byrd pointed out that
II requested appropriations are
approved by Congress, the total
OF these and the unspent bal
ances would amount to approx
mately $145 billion.
The only legal restraint on
the expenditure of this huge
sum-" he added, will be the

January /, as some influential
Democrats are suggesting.
There are more people who
think the budget will be cut by
from SIS billion to So billion.
than there are who believe the
cut will go to IS billion or more, "
said Senator Knowland.
Chairman Byrd Of the Senate
Finance Committee has taken
the lead.in the economy drive by
urging cut of SOS billion.
Senator Knowland is on rec
ord as believing the 1858 session
will consider some general tax
relief. But in throwing cold
water on tax cut bill this year,
the Senator said. There is a
general feeling there ought to
be some curtailment of the pub
lie debt first"
Exemption Cut Popular
A reduction of SIS billion, or
even SO billion. in the $73.3 bill
lion appropriation budget would
not leave room for both debt
reduction and any substantial
amount Of tax relief.
The relief most frequently
mentioned is an increase in the
personal exemption of each tax
payer and dependent from $500
to s700. This proposal alone
would cost $2.5 billion.
Commenting on the 55-to-27
vote by which the Senate re-
fused to make a $3.50 million cut
in the rivers and harbors bill,
Senator Knowland told re-
porters:
i won't say it discourages me,
but 1t shows it is more difficult
to point up the issue of economy
on an authorization bill than
on an appropriation bill and yet,
to get appropriations down
eventually you must begin to cut
authorizations"
The'Senator was referring to
the fact that the rivers and har-
bors bill now awaiting House
action is only an enabling act for
which the funds must still be
approved by the appropriation
committees.

Housing Funds
May Scarcer,
Says

Senator Sparkman Democrat
OF Alabama. said yesterday new
administration moves to make
1t easier to purchase homes
may have an adverse effect. /"
"They could stimulate demands
without increasing the already
short supplies of mortgage
funds" said Senator Sparkman,
chairman of a Senate committee
now working on an omnibus
housing bill.
Senator Capehart, Republican
OF Indiana. usually an admins
tration supporter, agreed in a
separate interview that the big
problem remains a shortage OF
money to finance home pur-
chases and building"
There are plenty of buyers,
Senator Capehart added.
2 Changes in Policy

line in the numbers of new hous-
ing units being started and con-
gressional protests against tight
credit policies, the White House
announced two housing policy
changes Friday.

1t also revised rules so that

mortgage funds. could use more
funds outside the usual 50-mile
limit.
The new rules apply to- the
purchase Of old homes as well as
