Much Of this construction

lieved to be In need Of stimula-
ton. The President decided a
year ago that he was willing to
pay the political price Of in

out" is also imperiling another
administration aim the avoid
ance Of the Nations first 500
billion budget. A norm al
growth Of Federal spendin g
would carry the total over that
figure In the budget that goes
to Congress in January. But
Federal spending will be q ma
jor political issue in 1864 and q
500 billion budget would be a
handy club for the Republic
cans. One Of the incentives in
the current budget review is q
against odds to stay
beneath that figures.
Last fall the Budget Bureau
squeezed SO billion out Of the
requests before the
President made his recommen-
dations to Congress. This year
the budget experts cannot
judge the agencies d e an DIS
nearly as precisely because
they are dealing ct every turn
with assumptions instea d Of
c ertanties. This Is o severe
handicap for analysts accus-
toned to working with exact
figures.
Blame for the delay is spread
broadly upon Congress. 1t is q
result Of Southern resentments.
antiquated procedures. and
stubborn committee chairmen.
It is part Of the straggling.

developed on the Hill. The de-

Star Special writer

- 49, 49,
The difficult state Of rela-
tons between an impatient ad-
ministration and q dilatory
Congress is already reaching
into next year. The preparation
Of the 1865 budget is being
jeopardized by the legislators
failure to act on the appropria-
tons for 1854
The budget-m q kers find it
impossible to ask sc archin 6
questions on the bureaucrats'
spending plans for the next fis-
cal year when they do not
know In most cases how much
they are going to spend in the
current year.
I In a procrastination that is
unique in the Governments AZ
years Of operation under the
Budget and Accounting Act.
Congress has failed to pass
two-thirds of the appropria-
tons bills for the year that be-
gan last July /.
Unless these bills can be
enacted before Thanksgiving,
budget officials doubt that they
viii be able to finish their COM
lputations and submit next
years budget before the legal
DEF dime, is days after the
start Of the new session. This
does not mean the President
viii go to jail. because Congress
win presumably extend the
deadline upon request. But It
win mean a SLOPPY beginning for
the new year.
Cite Economy Need
The virtue claimed for this
procrastination by its congress
sional perpetrators Is economy.
The agencies c annot proceed
with expansions and new pro-
grams until their appropria-
ton bills are passed. Some leg
islators contend that savings
to the taxpayers are running as
high as 81 billion q month be-
cause Of Congress failure to
act.
Such claims would be hard to
prove. but some degree Of saw
ing is obvious. Agency heads
respond cautiously to the I'M
certain modus vivsndi Of the
continuing resolutions. which
allow them to spend at the
1868 levels until their bills are
passed. They do not hire new
people, sign new contracts or
start new programs. But their
plans are only deferred. and
most Of the savings ultimately
win be counterbalanced by
larger expenditures.
The National Aeronautics
and Space Administration has
been unable to turn q shovel on
some $700 million worth Of
construction proposed In its
1864 budget. The Army Eng
ineers are similarly delayed in
beginning the new phase Of

struction programs. But these

Finger Sucking
Seen Cutting Rate
Of Tooth Decay

CHICAGO, July / (AP) -
Thumb or finger sucking by
youngsters-a habit frowned
on by dentists as a cause of
tooth irregularity - appears to
slow the rate Of tooth decay,
a dental specialist said today.
DR.. Sidney B. Finn of Bir-
mingham, Ala, said the amount
of dental decay a person suffers
may be influenced by heredity,
saliva flow and tooth formation,
or a combination Of the three.
He said children who are avid
finger suckers when falling
asleep seem to have fewer cavi-
ties than other youngsters. He
said it is believed that finger
sucking stimulates the flow of
saliva.
other dental studies, he
added, have revealed that ami
mails have high decay rates
after their salivary glands are
removed.
DR.. Finn, professor of dentistry
and chairman Of the Depart
ment Of Pedodontics. School of
Dentistry, University of Ala
bama, made these points in an
article in the current Journal
Of the American Dental Associ-
alton.

Committee today awaited a
tape recording which 1t hopes
will show whether Representa-
tive Powell, Democrat Of New
York, did or did not assert he
had rewritten President Ken
nedy's recent civil rights mes
sage.
Mr.. Powell was quoted as
making such an assertion In a
talk at Long Beach, Calf. but
in a news conference Friday
the Negro Congressman denied
he had made such a statement.
DR.. william B. Prendergast,
research director for the COM
|mittee, said he has been adj
vised the tape was being mailed
to an aide, Joe Harrison.
Mr.. Powell was not available
for comment. The White House
refused conn ent after the
original report and had moth
ing to say after Mr.. Powell's
denial.
At his news conference Fri
day, Mr.. Powell said luckily
there is a tape" OF his Long
Beach remarks and said Il
would support his contention
that he had been quoted mac
curately.
Mr.. Powell went TO his home
in Puerto Rico over the week
