S1O4 Million
Approved for
Legislative

The House approved a $104
million legislative branch ap-
preparations bill today after
hearing a complaint that Con-
gress was moving too fast to
deprive the District of some tax
revenue.
Noting that the bill provided
for the tearing down of build
ingS in the square block directly
east of the old House Office
Building starting August /,
Representative Gross, Republi-
can of Iowa, said he saw no
need for clearing the area so
rapidly.
Congress voted last year to
acquire the property for future
expansion purposes, but has
made no specific building plans.
Mr.. Gross contended that at
least some of the business and
residential structures ought to
be left standing longer so that
the District could continue to
collect taxes.
Hotel Business Hit
From a different angle, Rep
reSentative Avery, Republican
Of Kansas, protested against
Congress being in the hotel
business" He referred to the
Congressional Hotel immedi-
ately south of the old House
Office Building. Congress pro-
vided for the purchase of the
hotel building several years ago.
Representative Steed, Demo-
crat of Oklahoma, floor man.
ager for the legislative appro-
priations bill for the fiscal year
beginning next July /, explained
that the Government was
saving about $4,000 a year by
having the hotel operated by
a private company instead of
maintaining it in idleness.
Start of Removal Explained
AS for the start of removal
of structures in the square
block bounded by Independ-
ence avenue, First, Second and
c streets Sc, Mr.. Steed said
this was decided by the House
Office Building Commission
headed by Speaker Rayburn.
He added that "our committee
had nothing to do with it, no
matter what some Of US think
about it."
Mr.. Steed promised the
House that the Appropriations
Committee would do every
thing possible to see that the
third House office building
currently under construction
is not plagued by troubles such
as those experienced after con-
struction of the New Senate
Office Building.

iStics.

said the best form of govern
ment is a republic and the
worst is a democracy our
purpose is to inform our fellow
citizens so they do the right
things politically"

port stating Mr.. Welch's goal
was to have million members
which would mean $18 million
in dues annually that could be
spent without accountability

stated an audit was now being
prepared, but again refused to

Every father knows that his family's needs
change from year to year. Perhaps there's new
baby. or new house.. or teen-ager thinking
of college. These are just some of the reasons
why every father should have a review of his
family's financial security program regularly
whether he needs insurance or not.
What you could lose without one
Our experience with millions of families shows
there are mistakes, oversights, gaps in the aver
age mans financial security program. Too
much of it is haphazard. Too much of it is left
to chance. 1t lacks a plan, or too often it simply
falls behind the times. For example
