That's because Congress is about to try a new budgetcutting method that holds promise of real results. An omnibus appropriation bill is ready for House U. debate. . The old method was to move 10 or more money bills one at a time through House and Senate over a period of six months or so. Each was considered without relation to the others, to total appropriations or to probable govern. ment income. When the last of them finally passed, Congress usually had voted even more spending than the President asked.

THIS week he goes so far as to 8. participation in World War 11. “That conflict solved nothing,” Mr. Jacobs writes. “Neither did our participation in it.” Here is his reasoning: “Certainly as a nation it was then felt that our destiny and our own protection were best served by the action we took in supporting Russia and other belligerents, but does the history of ‘the last decade prove we were right or wrong? Or rather, does ft not demonstrate that our destiny is best served by cultivating friendship and alliances within our own orbit, particularly the Western Hemisphere, revitalizing the Monroe Doctrine.

VACANCIES TO FILL . . .

Will Patterson Head the AEC?

WASHINGTON, Mar, 22—One thing President Truman has been doing. during his so-called vacation in Florida and that is to work out a series of appointments to important government -offices that have too long been vacant, :

These steps have been urgently needed if

HIS advent coincided with that of two other Republicans, the late Frank Knox, who became Secretary of the Navy, and Henry L. Stimson who accepted the post of Secretary of War. Mr. Patterson became Undersecretary of War in December of 1940. There is, in a sense, something symbolic about the prospective return of men who served their time in that other war. Fair Dealers will mot be made happy by it, just as New “Dealers were not happy over the entrance ‘of Mr. Knox, Mr. Stimson and the other “Wall Street lawyers” who came to Washington with them.
