Expended by
$40 Million
By J. A. OTEARY
star staff Writer

A Senate subcommittee To-
day approved an expanded YER
sion of the Presidents youth
employment program. with the
first-year cost increased from
500 million to $3.50 million.
1t was the second setback In
two days for the Republican
drive to hold down on new ad-
ministration programs. Only
yesterday, the Republicans let
the administrations first rec
reation bill pass the Senate
without q serious fight, after
deciding to center their oppo-
sition on a second recreation
measure still in committee.
Chairman Clark. Democrat
of Pennsylvania, said the SUBJ
committee on youth employ
ment left the revamped bill
open for further action until
next week to allow Republican
Senator Prouty Of Vermont to
offer further amendments next
Tuesday.
Early Action Sought
Meanwhile. Senate Demo.
cratic whip Humphrey Of Min
nesota announced following
the weekly leadership confer
ence at the White House that
the youth employment bill is
one Of five measures on which
Congress will try to act before
Easter. The other four are:
The military pay bill, which
Is originating in the House.
The administrations medical
education bill to help provide
needed doctors and dentists.
The military construction
bill, already reported from q
House committee.
Extension Of the Selective
Service Act. passed by the
House yesterday.
Humphrey Twits G. o. r.
Senator Humphrey said Re-
publicans seem to be having
some difficulty getting their
economy drive off Of the
ground. He said Republican
leader Dirksen threw in the
proverbial sponge" on the rec
reation bill after discovering
that "some Of his most loyal
troops" had come out in sup
port Of 1t.
The Minnesota Democrat
said also that Republicans
have gone along with adding
to the cost Of the military pay
and military construction bills
on the House side.
Senate Democratic Leader
Mansfield charged that Repub-
leans had demonstrated the
"falseness" Of their claims
about cutting the budget by
choosing not to fight passage
Of the outdoor recreation bill.
The Senate Republican leader
ship had said 1t would be q test
case Of holding the line
against any new programs"
Senator Mansfield described
the legislation as IAN urgently
needed and carefully considered
measure, as is true Of the
other administration recon-
mendations for new legisla-
ton"
Mansfield Critical
While Congress has an obi
cation to examine tine Presi-
dents budget with care, Sena-
tor Mansfield said "the Repub-
licans should quit talking about
how they are going TO cut $40
billion or SIS billion until they
have demonstrated how and
where they can do this with

our economy"

British Pound SIumps
After Wave of Selling

discussion Of devaluation among
some orthodox economists in
this country.
Several economists have been
suggesting that Britain should
have q floating rate for the
pound as q means Of accom-
modating a program of eco
nomic expansion for the ma
ton.
Drop In New York
Such a program would re-
quire Britain to import more
raw materials and produce and
export more goods. But this
could produce q temporary ex-
change crisis because it would
take some time for the nation
to earn the foreign money
needed to pay for the imports
it needs.
At New York, similar drops
in value were reported and
trading was more active than
in other recent days.
Traders attributed the de-
cline partly TO q possible rise
in interest rates in the United
States and partly to a sharp
drop last month In Britains
currency reserves.
