The Senate District Committee
today unanimously approved
legislation to curb charity

the hoped-for result Of the meas

The charity racket measure
has already passed the House
but was extensively amended in
the Senate version. Senator
Clark. who headed the subcom-

ton, explained that it was
amended with the hope of elm
mating all objections from
legitimate groups.

form. requires organizations So

Bill by 7 Pct.
Committee SIushes
Army Civil Projects
And Interior Funds

An $8l4.8 million public works
bill, cut $6l.6 million from adj
ministration budget requests,
was reported out today by the
House Appropriations Commit
tee.
This 7 per cent slash included
per cent reduction in amounts
asked originally for Army civil
functions such as flood control
and other water projects of the
Corps of Engineers.
The committee approved SCOT
million for such construction and
maintenance. This was $31 mil
lion less than the administration
wanted and $37 million below
this years total.
Interior Funds
The committee allowed SPOT
million for various Interior De-
partment agencies such as the
Reclamation Bureau and the
Bonneville and Southwestern
Power Administration. This \
almost $50 million under tbs
budget requests and SIS million
under the 1857 appropriation.
The overall total recon-
mended by the committee was
$8l4,813,023. This showed a
committee cut of SCI, 639, GIT
from administration requests
and $52,521,9 77 from the pres
ent years figure.
The further reduction brought
to almost SAL billion the cumu-
lative cuts made in Is regular
