A perfect flight would take
the Marine lieutenant colonel
three times around the world

the third orbit, braking rockets
would slow his Friendship 7"

The flight is'intended to reap
a harvest Of information on

IN prolonged periods of weight
lessness.

SHOWS expenditures by the
Department of HEW have in
creased two and one half times
the cost Of the agency in its
first year, 1858. On the basis
Of this rate Of growth he
added:
IF the proposed new De-
partment Of Urban Affairs and
Housing should be established,
and If it should equal HEW's
growth rate it would be a
$165 billion department by
fiscal year 1878"
New Programs Add to Cost
A table attached to the Sen
ator's statement indicated that
some of the increase in the
budget for HEW is the result of
new programs authorized by
Congress since 1858, such as
national defense education.
Senator Byrd also suggested
that the proposed urban af-
fairs agency should be called
"the Department Of Back Door
Spending and Contingent Lii
Abilities" because most Of the
activities slated to go into the
new department are financed
by contract authority and re-
volving funds as distinguished
from appropriations.
Senator Byrd said that as Of
the current fiscal year, pro-
grams and agencies proposed
to be consolidated in the new
urban department have used
public credit to underwrite out
standing mortgages and other
contingent liabilities to a total
of about $45 billion.
Huge Spending Authority
The Senator said the Presi-
dents budget shows the pro-
grams that would go into the
new department have spend
ing authority for the current
year totaling $13.7 billion. He
said the budget also estimates
that as of June 80 these pro-
grams will have outstanding
direct and insured loans total
ing $52.9 billion.
These contingent liabilities
figured in his estimate Of how
the new ufban department
might grow in 10 years.
But supporters Of Govern
ment housing activities, which
have been in operation for
more than Is years. contend
that the FHA insured mortgage
program is entirely self sustain
ing.
An FILA spokesman pointed
out that the premium of one
half of / per cent added to all
