West, Soviet
Set 10 Defend
NewArmsUnit

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y.
Sept. 10 (AP).-The big West
|ern powers and the Soviet
Union sought today TO head on
q blast Of criticism against their
plan for q new donation dis
armament body.
Representatives Of the Biz
-Four lined up as the first
speakers before the S2-Nation
Disarmament Commission in q
general debate today on the
new plan.
United States Ambassador
Henry Cabot Lodge was ex-
pected to lead on. followed BY
Britain's Sir Pierson Dixon.
French delegate Armand Ber-
ard and Soviet delegate Arkady
A. Sobolev.
Answers Readied
Informed quarters said they
would answer criticisms made
privately by some small coun-
tries. They also were reported
ready to offer a noncontro-
versial resolution taking note
Of the Big Four action without
specially endorsing 1t.
The debate was expected To
continue until next week when
the General Assembly opens.
A threatened fight over the
Craftsmanship Of the disarma-
ment commission appeared to
have been averted. Informed
quarters said Mexican delegate
Luis Padilla Nervo weuld be
chosen for the post without
opposition.
The opening Of the disarma-
ment debate was preceded by
intense diplomatic activity be-
hind the scenes. One important
question was whether the dis
armament commission, estab-
lished last fall for a one-year
period, should be kept alive.
It seemed certain that it would.
The Big Four agreement pro-
vides for a resumption Of the
stalled arms talks early next
year in Geneva by a group
made up Of I'VE Western and
five Communist countries.
Members Of the group are the
United States. Britain, France,
Italy and Canada on the one
side, and the Soviet Union, Po-
land, Czechoslovakia, Romania.
and Bulgaria on the other.
U. N. Link Missing
One of the main criticisms
here was the absence of any
U. N. link. The Big Four mere
ly stated that the new body
would report to the u. N. dis
armament commission and that
the final responsibility remained
with the u. N.
There also was strong criti-
cism Of the new agency's COM
position. Several countries
expressed concern over the
presence Of five Communist
countries on the committee
while Asia. Africa, the Middle
East and Latin America were
not represented.
No disarmament talks have
been held since the London
conference of the u. N. Dis
armament Subcommittee broke
up tive years ago. The SUBJ
committee was composed Of the
Big Four and Canada.
Soviet demands for parity
equal representation Of the
Soviet bloc with the Weston
the commission have prevented
q resumption Of negotiations.
The United States always has
objected to the principle Of
parity in any U. N. body. but
agreed to parity in the new 10.
nation group outside the u. N.
in order to get negotiations
going again.

Highway Loan

The budget Office proposed
that Congress be asked to ap-
prove. in addition to local
revenue, another Government
loan to the highway fund, this
time for $4.1 million.
The total proposed highway
budget is $19.7 million. about
$4.4 million under this years
figure. Most of the decrease Is
due to a cutback in construc-
ton money to match the ex-
pected maximum available Fed
eral aid.
Under the recommended
SAP million public works pro-
gram, the only major category
increased over current SPEND
ing was the sanitary sewage
works fund.

obligations when the claim bills
pass.
Another feature Of the Byrd
proposal is that the "one-
package" money bill, and all
supplemental money bills
passed later in the year, would
have to contain the latest es-
innate Of the Secretary Of the
Treasury Of the Governments
receipts for the year.
This would show at a glance
whether Congress was voting
the Government into the red.
Subcommittee Seen Factor
One Of the arguments used
by supporters of the "one-
package" budget bill is that it
would require members Of
Congress to consider the rela-
tive Importance Of each Gov
eminent function. and what
percentage Of the Governments
income should go for national
defense, foreign aid and do
nestle programs in any given
period.
They point out that now Con-
gress may pass a welfare
budget, a farm appropriation
or a public works program in
February or March, without
knowing how much it will be
asked to appropriate in May or
June for national defense.
The Byrd resolution probably
will be referred to the Senate
Rules Committee, which has
approved it several times in
past Congresses.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-02-22

Of the money appropriated this
year may not be spent until
1861.
The Byrd resolution recog-
nizes this situation by provid-
ing. not merely for the COM
bining of all expenditure
authorizations in one bill, but
placing a limit on the amount
that may be spent for each
purpose out of both old and
new appropriations.
Back Door Expenditures"
1t also would bring into the
budget picture the so-called

preparations Committees. The

going funds except the settle

Congress would take one COM
posite look at all the require
nents Of the Government, and
place q ceiling on how much
could be spent in any one year
out Of both old and new APP
propriations.

sums continuing available from

Congress tried a single-pack-
age appropriation bill in 1850,
but in 1851 House leaders in
sisted on going back to the old
system. Senator Byrd said
that there was not a fair test
Of the plan, because the Ko-
rean war began while the ex-
detrimental bill was still being
debated. and Governme n t
spending took an upward squirt.
