In the past the House frequently has cut hundreds of millions from appropriation requests, only to watch the Senate restore the cuts or even increase the total. Thus, over the years, the Senate has had a reputation of supporting the big spenders in gov- Re-elect- ernment. But this year it seems that leadership of the Senate-backeembarked by the membership-hao n a different The aim is to support appropriation reductions made by the school. d s course House. The first test came on passage of the Treasury Post Office bill, which totals over $3.9 billion. The Senate agreed to the House reduction of $80 million under presidential budget requests. POSTAL SERVICE MAY BE CUT Office Office, the Treasury-Pos- t on the interest govtions to pay Post the to run ernment debt, and Office Offic, the Treasury-Pos- t appropration bill usually is the most difficult of all budget proposals for Congress to cut. In upholding a House reduction of $58 million in the Post Office fund Congress may be inviting a reduction in postal services. Postmaster-Genera- l Summerfield has said this would be the case. But Senate economy - bloc leaders took the position that the Post Office Department should make every effort to absorb the and the question reductions of more money to avoid service cuts will be taken up later. OTHER SENATE BILLS Other big appropration bills will be coming before the Senate in the next few weeks. spend-tax-ele- ... ORPHANS BILL A most distressing legislative impasse has developed in Washington which is threatening a bill I have introduced to permit 5000 alien orphan children to come to this country for adoption by childless couples who want to give them a good home. This legislation which has the support of nearly every member of Congress requires an amendment to our Immigration laws about which there is anything but unanimity of opinion. As a result, the orphan bill may be killed as an innocent bystander in the war between immigration ideologies. .RENEWED PLEA I have asked Francis Congressman again Walter of the House Judiciary Committee to hold separate hearings on my orphans legislation. Whether I will succeed or not depends upon Rep. Walters receiving assurance that the Senate will not use 'the legislation as a springboard to libImeralize the migration Act in other respects. The Orphans bill passed the House last session but was killed after the Senate tacked on an amendment increasing immigration quotas for all aliens. ... non-controvers- ial Walter-McCarre- n ANXIETY HEIGHTENED . . . My anxiety over this legislation is heightened by the many let- ters I am receiving from responsible Amercan couples who have despaired of seeing their turn come up on the regular adoption lists and yet, because of our im- migration laws, are prohibited from providing a better life for an unfortunate foreign-borchild. I hate to see these little alien children condemned to lives of hardship and poverty because of political arguments involving n their elders. NEW STALEMATE ... The Federal which Government, should acknowledge parentage of the withholding tax, has decided that present laws do not permit it to cooperate with Utahs new state withholding tax law for nonresidents. As the Federal Government is Utahs largest employer, this is a serious blow to enforcement of the new law designed to close a loophole through which revenue was being lost to the State. Even more disturbing is a report that the Department of the Treasury would oppose amending federal law to require the government to cooperate. A SHOWDOWN I intend to pursue this matter to a showdown. The state and all of its governmental units cooperate fully with the Federal Government in withholding federal taxes from their employees. I can see no earthly reason why the Federal Government should be relieved of a duty imposed upon other employers in the state. I am now rounding up support for my position from members of Congress from other states where the federal government has said it cannot cooperate. ... ct in the opinion of Congress such economy leaders as Sen. Bridges is responding to a genuine protest of taxpayers over the nation against profligate government spending. SOME ADMINISTRATION Co- leaders operation Economy-blowere happy because Eisenhower Administration spokesmen have not asked the Senate Appropra-tion- s Committee to restore $547 million out of a total of $1.2 billion budget cuts made by the c House. This was regarded as in line with an earlier policy stated by the President that he favors economy without denying what he regards as worthwhile government services. In appealing to the public to keep up for pressure for economy, Sen. Bridges said: Although the goal is in sight, just as in football, the going gets tougher inline. side the He says redoubled efforts will be necessary to reach his goal of a $3.3 billion plus budget cut. Meanwhile, there appeared to be a break in the ranks of the liberals. Sen. Morse of Oregon, usually regarded as an advocate of big spending, told newsmen that a $10 million budget slash could be .mado - without endangering the security or welfare of the nation. 20-yar- d self-style- d buddy POPPY VETER , ANSof.fORtIGNiWARS ESJ AMERICA!
