POW GROUP HERE HAPPILY DISBANDS

The moment that about 400 mothers, fathers, wives and sweethearts have been waiting for since March 10, 1944, came last night for the American Prisoners of War society. The group disbanded in the war memorial auditorium and 17 repatriated veterans were on hand to sketch their lives in German prison camps at this last meeting. There was a touch of sadness, however, at the meeting. The members regret the dissolution of a body which has resulted in warm

friendship among the families of |

captured Indianapolis soldiers. Members were glad, though, that two-thirds of their sons or husbands have been liberated and are home and that the other third has been accounted for. The society was headed by Mrs. Lester Moreland Sr.

‘Millions Lonped by House, May Be Restored.

By Scripps Howard Newspapers WASHINGTON, June 20.—Most {of the millions cut from the war agencies bill by the house are expected to be restored by the senate appropriations committee today, By a vote of 7 tg 6 the subcommittee handling the measure recommended $39.500,000 for the office of war information. This is an increase of $21,500,000 over the OWI appropriation of $18,000,000 voted by the house. The senate appropriations committee, under acting Chairman McKellar (D. Tenn.) has boosted the bills coming from the house so regularly that it is acquiring the name of the ‘senate restoration committee.” A comparison of the recommendations made by the house appropriations committee for the fiscal year 1645-46, not including the bill due today, shows that the senate committee has recommended increases totaling $354,352481 over those recommended by the house committee. Insurance Lopped Off Restorations were as follows: Agriculture department $18,291 - 827; District of Columbia $715,200: interior ~~ $37,646,304; legislativejudicial $623,480; state, justice and {commerce departments $9,671,138; treasury-post-office $281,580; war department civil functions $13,285,000, and first deficiency bill $273,837,952. The senate committee cut the house recommendations $11,555,220. On the first supplemental appropriation bill and $73,660,655 on independent offices. The latter figure was more than accounted for ‘by a $100,000,000 cut below the house on national service life insurance of the veterans administration. So the net on what the house committee cut and senate committee restored is $269,136,604.

Sessions Are Secret

After passing the senate, the total] usually is compromised in conference. The whole matter of how appropriations are made is under study by the joint committee to streamline ‘congress. Under the present system something new has been added. During the continued absence. of ailing Senator Glass D. Va.), Senator McKellar is acting chairman. He alsé is president pro tem of the senate, chairman of the committee on postoffices and postroads and senior senator from Tennessee. He has refused to give up any of this. He was invited to attend cabinet meetings by President Truman and thus has almost the rank as well as the pay, of vice president because of his position as president. of thea senate. He also attends all White House meetings with th& senate and house leaders. So for the first time in fact, if not in name, the White House is represented in the senate appropriations comgmittee chairmanship. The hearings of the joint committee to improve congress have brought out that only department heads appear to plead for their funds. No congressional evidence is presented to challenge such requests and pleadings: The appropriation. - sessions are secret. Hearings, well edited, are issued the day the bills are reported out. The appropriations are made, particularly in the senate, with few having any knowledge of them and often fewer than a handful on the senate floor,
