NO COMMENT
BY JAMES ". DourHAr

WASHINGTON. Nov. 9LMem-
bers of the congressional econo-
my bloc are renewing their as
sault on what is known as back
door, financing a practice
which has permitted multi-billiOn-
dollar Government spending by
by-passing the House and Senate
Appropriations Committees and
BORROWING dir e G ly from the
Treasury.
This is regarded as a danger
GUS fiscal procedure, which is
practiced by the Big Spenders in
order to avoid any checkmating
by the congressional Appropria-
tons Committees of some of the
grandiose spending programs.
The system for by-passing the
Appropriations Committees has
developed during the past 25
years and has esulte d in
additional expenditures totalling
many billions Of dollars.
1t has been used to finance
such programs as housing. farm
subsidies, the International None
tary Fund. the Export-Import
Bank. and rural identification.
Senator Morton (R-KY.) COM
mented year ago = when the
practice was being vigorously as
sailed that 1.-THE famous back
door to the Treasury is getting
as TANNED as a telephone booth
on college campus in the
springtime.''
Thanks to the 1859 anti-"back
door" campaign, the opponents
had greater success than usual
during the 1860 session of Con-
greSs - but they are determined
to be even more successful in
future years.
Back door" appropriations ap-
proved by Congress this year
totalled $3.50 million M which was
$3.50 million above the amount
provided in P re d e n Eisen-
hower's budget.
! This brought the overall total
of appropriations approved by
ongres S to $74, 464, 1886, 992-
which was 1913, 1863. SOP above the
Presidents budget.
Excluding the "back door,
funds, Congress approved ap-
preparations totalling $73.634, 1885,
992- which was $211 ,638, 498 below
the Presidents budget.
Back door" appropriations
authorized we're: $500 million for
college housing loans, $50 million
for public facility housing loans,
and $500 million for direct vet
Grams loans.
| Among the leading opponents of
| this financing practice are Rep
Smith D-Va.), Chairman of the
House Rules Committee; Rep.
Cannon (D-Mo.), Chairman of the
House Appropriations Committee;
| Senator Byrd (D-VaD, Chairman
Of the Senate Finance Commit
tee; Senator Dirksen Of Illinois,
the Republican Senate Leader:
and Senator Robertson (D-Va.D
Chairman Of the Senate Banking
Committee.
President Eisenhower, too, is
on record against the practice
Questioned at a news conference
last year about borrowing from
the Treasury to finance foreign
development loans. he replied:
Il do not believe in borrowing
for any purpose from the Federal
Government in times of pros
perity unless there is great
emergency facing us. / believe
we must pay our way, and we
should begin reducing this debt.
If we don't we have almost I'M
solvable problems confronting us
all the time.

What About Savings?
At the present time, the rate
Of individual savings has been
increased to over sos billion a
year. This is almost 81 billion
more than people saved in the
1858 recession year, and almost
81 billion more than they put
away last year. In addition, by
easing up on bank borrowings
and whiting down their out
standing loans. consumers have
held the inflationary rise of con-
sumner debt in check.
The task of saving today is
made easier by the record level
of personal income. However,
this increase in income presents
a strong inducement to indis-
criminate spending. Hence, the
fact that consumers have volun-
tarily chosen to put aside more
money for the future makes me
more optimistic on the future of
this country!
Putting Savings To Work
In recent years, the low inter-
est rate on savings bonds has dis
couraged saving via that sector.
In fact, many people have been
cashing in such bonds. At long
last the Government has raised
the interest rate on these bonds
to make them competitive with
other savings media; SO it may
be that savings will again be put
into government savings bonds.
Savings accounts in CONNER
cial banks, mutual savings banks
and savings and loan associations
are at an all-time high. Savings

were the election returns and SO
habitual now is the coalescing be-
tween Democrats and Repllbll-
cans that the majority will of the
American people is not discerni-

Gated as still belonging to us-the-

likely loss in the Senate. Gov
Daniels will certainly appoint a
states rights conservative in Lyn-

thing.
The anti-Kennedy showing in
the South is larger than is being
counted, it is larger by the
amount of Alabama and Missis-
sippi. Remember, too, that South
ern congressman and Senators
who toe-ed the party line for Ken

lition camp. now that lip service
has been performed.
With the popular vote in the
nation so close and the Goa
lition actually strengthened in
Congress. the principles for which
we opposed Senator Kennedy
may be taken as representing a
sometime majority Of Americans
and an always nearly equal mum

Dog Versus Man

4 Colorado innkeeper said the other
day that he considered dogs perfer-
able in some ways to human guests. He
has never he observed, had to toss an
intoxicated dog out on his ear; nor has
he ever encountered dog who shined
shoes with towels, or smoked in bed, or
pllfered small item of hotel equipment.
This speaks well for the dog, granted
But the traveller might retort that no
dog has ever rented him a room where
the shower spurts two temperatures of
water only ~ scalding and frigid - or
permitted the fellow in the next room
to run what sounds like an all-night
boiler factory. He might also note that
he has never had dog open cab door

Mr.. REESE: During those days. Mr.. Chairman, the
Governor was not in the Virgin Islands. The Government
Secretary wasn't in the Virgin Islands. We had the Com
missioner of Finance acting as Governor, and the most he
was doing was sending out emergency orders to the Radio
Station telling you not. to use the telephone unless it is an
emergency, and don't come out on the streets and all
kinds of nonsense.
Mr.. Chairman, nobody knew there was going to be
such a terrible flood. Of course, it was an act of God, let's
say, but from last week Thursday and Friday it started to
rain. We had the fire truck down in the vicinity at Caren-
age pumping out water and it was the same men on duty
all the time. And, even though they had that warning
from the heavy rains we had Thursday and Friday-there
was not even available a cup of coffee for those men who
were working. You couldn't even get it from the Police

During the Administration of Governor Alexander we
had a Contingent Fund of a Hundred Thousand Dollars.
The Contingent Fund, as we know it, it.used for the pur-
pose Of having an emergency fund and to take care OF IN
foreseen~ circumstances. If we think that perhaps an emer-
gency might arise during the course OF the fiscal year,
when we are not in session, a major one, we appropriate
more money than normally. If we think that perhaps,
we'll, nothing will happen that we need to appropriate too
much money for, we give him a token contingent fund
But this is nothing new, Mr.. Chairman.
But don't believe that we need to bubble about that.
Our purpose here today is to make sure that we give as

MRS MILLIN: / understand that the Social Wei

appropriation?
Probably we may make too small an appropriation. |

When we have appropriated money, if there has been too

IN MEMORY

In loving memory of our dar-
ling husband, daddy and grand
pa, Thorton Nieswonger, who
left us two years ago Aug. 80:
Two years ago you left us
AS the sun was sinking low,
We knew that death was Oh so
near
1t was so sad to see you go.
Meath our eyes you softly faded,
Growing day by day more frail,
Bearing sweetly all your suf-
fering,
Without murmur, moan or wall.
Sometimes it's hard to under
stand
Just why you were called
away,
Why you had to leave your home
and family
And with us could no longer
stay.
But God watched you as you
suffered,
Daddy, he knew you had your
share,
He gently closed your weary eyes
And took you in his care.
Your cares on earth are ended
And you are resting there
alone,
Peacefully resting in the grave
yard,
Not so very far from home.
In a graveyard softly sleeping,
Where the flowers gently wave,
Lies the one we loved SO dearly,
But whom we could not save.
God knows how much we miss
you,
He counts the tears we shed,
And whispers that you only sleep,
Your loved one is not dead.
How we miss the welcome foot
steps
Of the one we loved so dear,
Oft we listen for his coming,
Almost sure that he is near.
If all the world was ours to give,
We'd give it, yes and more,
To see the face of the one we
loved
And have him back once more.
Somewhere back of the sunset,
Where loveliness never dies,
Dad lives in a land of glory,
With God in the deep blue
skies.
Dear God, be thou good to dad,
Keep him in your loving care,
Make up for all he has suffered
And everything that was un-
fair.
If you have a loving daddy
Cherish him with care,
For you will never know his
meaning
Until you see his vacant chair.
Sadly missed by Wife Chloe

dren and a host of relatives and
friends.
