House Democrats in debate on
the depressed areas conference
bill this week.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Boiling, Mr..
Madden, Mr.. Sisk and Mr..
Elliott, all members of the Rules
Committee, and several other
Democrats lost no time in try
ing to offset the G. o. P. cam
paign against "backdoor spend
ing" and the opposition of such
key critics as Mr.. Cannon,
Democrat of Missouri, and the
opposition Rules Committee
Chairman Smith, Democrat OF
Virginia.
Process Defended
At a Rules Committee hear
ing last week on a batch of
fiscal resolutions, Mr.. Cannon
let go one of the longest strings
of unflattering adjectives ever
heard against what he called
"backdoor spending" He brand
ed it as absurd" and "uncon-
stitutional." He said there was
no way of telling how many
billions have been obligated that
way.
The Democrats who replied or
commented thus far contend
that Congress is clearly within
its rights to pass laws autho-
rizing Withdrawals from the
Treasury to finance programs
or long-range projects. They
denied that Congress thus
abrogated its responsibility or
lost control of the appropria-
tions process.
They declared also that such
financing is the most efficient
If not essential method for
carrying on of many contin-
uing programs. They noted
that it has worked we'll in such
operations as those of the De-
fense Production Act of 1850

Home Owners Loan Corpora
ton, the Housing and Home
Financing Corporation, the

Music In His Ears
By CHARLES YARBRoUGH

Big, jovial and loquacious
Bart SpanO is the last man or
earth to complain about air
plane noise.
Mr., Spano, an Air Force re-

Federal Aviation Agency to
open an aviation acoustical
conSultant firm CPolysonics)
here. is the man who is going
to gather aircraft noise data at
a number of major airports,
including National and Friend

The quest is for decibel data
on 16 of the newest jets,
turboprops, piston-engine air
craft and turbine-powered
helicopters.
All this may sound super
fluous to many a noise
haraSSed citizen in Arlington
and Northwest Washington.
They can assure Mr.. Spano
and someone else who breaches
the subject, that all airplaneS
are noisy. And some of them
can even identify an aircraft
from its noise alone.
But what is needed from
Mr.. Spano's organization is
something accurate which can
be put on paper to help guide

SEC Delays Move
On Clinton Enoines

A Securities and Exchange
Commission hearing involving
a proposed stock offering by
Clinton Engines Corp. has been
postponed to September 25.
The case originally was to be
heard Aug. 8 but was put off
at the request of the company
. Pending a decision, the SEC
is holding up a proposed sale
by the company of $4,000
common shares at So each. In
addition, $4,000 shares would
be sold by present holders.
The SEC on July 26 charged
that a registration statement
covering proposed offering was
inadequate, particularly as to
the company's earnings record.
Following the hearing the
agency will determine whether
the sale should be blocked
permanently.

BY DONALD b. HADLEY
Star Financial Editor

1t is becoming increasingly
doubtful that Congress will
draft legislation to change the
tax status of savings and loan
associations and mutual saw
ings banks this year. according
to reports from Capitol Hill
today.
The savings and loan ques-
ton is being pushed aside by
other items in the Presidents
overall tax program, especially
the proposed 8 per cent tax
credit for plant investments.
The House Ways and Means
Committee. which heard Off
cials of the mutual thrift insti-
tutions at hearings a week ago,
met in executive session today
for the third day in a row, but
was busy reviewing earlier de-
cisionS on other portions of the
program.
What the committee decides
to do about the mutualS' II per
cent reserve, which the bankers
contend is a loophole permitting
them to go nearly tax-free, will
depend on how other issues are
settled.
The Presidents program con-
templated that tax reductions
to encourage plant investment
would be offset by the plugging
Of tax loopholeS.
The 10 Republican members
of the committee already have
come out strongly against the
8 per cent allowance for plant
investments and if this should
be blocked the pressure for
plugging loopholes would be
diminished, it is believed.
More and more members of
Congress, however, are express
ing doubts that the overall
tax program will have a chance
to pass the Senate. The COM
mittee's work actually may not
materialize in legislation until
next year.
However. the mutual thrift
leaders still have their fingers
crossed. A crisis in the Berlin
situation or a decision to go
ahead with the plant invest
ment credit might change the
picture. Time is getting short,
with Congressman hoping for
adjournment by around Sep
tember is.

Reported failure of auto
makers to place the anticipated
volume of steel orders for Sep
tember. or even October, has
aroused speculation that they
are not as optimistic over pros
poets for On early wage set
tlement as previously indicated.
AS the Kennedy administra- =
ton has frowned or any idea
of advancing steel prices to
compensate for, increased costs
that might arise from a liberal
wage settlement, che delay in
ordering steel may be the tip
off that the industry is girding
for tough battle against the
United Auto Workers.
Two Reviews Agree
1ne authoritative magazine
Iron Age today gave about
the same picture of battling
order delays as the mag
azine Steel outlined earlier in
the week.
"Automakers, slowly being
backed up against the August
81 labor contract expiration.
are not coming in with strong
orders for September, or even
October" Iron Age reported.
I'm the past week, there have
been Setbacks of some ton
nages from August into Sep
tember and more puzzling
from September into October. :"
With new models starting to
roll this week, auto companies
will be eating into their stocks
of steel, the magazine pointed
out. All except Ford and Chew
rolet will be in production this
week and these two leaders
will be turning out 1862 models
shortly after.
The cautious buying of the
automakers is confusing the
market and steel buying is
running behind production in
some other areas, Iron Age re-
ported. This means that steel
now is being consumed faster
than it is being produced.
The magazine added, how
ever, that delays in ordering
automotive steel for 1862
production do not mean a

continue that way until the

the subject.
Kitchen Space
Second home buyers want
large kitchens. Ten or Is
years ago, less accent was
put on kitchen space be-
cause new appliances dazzled
the home buyer into feeling
that he did not need a large
kitchen. This is no longer
true. Second home buyers
insist upon a large kitchen
with enough dining space for
the entire family.
A second important point
is that provisions for four
and five bedrooms must be
embodied in the models. This

model must have four or five
