THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY JANUARY 19, 1950
LAN HAMS
WEEKLY
LETTER
V31H CONGRESSMAN REPORTS
Those of you who read or hear
my weekly reports, will, I am
sure like to hear something of
the lighter side of life in Wash¬
ington. I have to write SO' often
of heavy things like the budget,
taxation, federal spending that
you will relish my telling you of
at> informal supper party I had
the"privilege of attending at the
apartment of our genial Con¬
gressman from the Fourth
Georgia District, the Honorable
Sidney Camp of Newman.
Sidney is a roly-pcly good
natured man who loves to eat,
and better still loves to cook.
Gathered to enjoy his cooking,
which is tops, were Senator Rus
.sell, and Congressman Paul
Brown, Prince Preston and my¬
self from Georgia, and Congress¬
man Tom Murray of Tennessee.
The delicious food perpared by
Congressman Camp included
Brunswick Stew, ‘Possum, Sweet
Potatoes, soul-satisfying Coweta
County Home Made Sausage,
Virginia Cackleberries, Big Ho¬
miny, Turnips and Turnip
Greens, Coconut Coffee, Milk which and for is desert, much J
like from milk-shake, real coconut but milk prepared which j
,
the Congressman had obtained
on a recent trip to Puerto Rico.
Besides the good food, the con-
genial group enjoyed an ad- j
ditional hour or so of conversa-
tion and good fellowship. All in
all it was an evening long to be
remembered.
The Budget
After all this talk of good food
and good fellowship it is some¬
what distasteful to my readers
and listeners I know to have to
consider such an unpleasant
subject, the Federal Budget.
Pleasant as they may be, we
cannot forever enjoy our moun-
taintop experiences, but must
descend into the valley of real¬
ity, and come to grips with the
more serious problems that be¬
set us.
As is occasionally true of a
beautiful woman, the form of
the new budget is mere attrac¬
tive than its inner parts or con¬
tents. Even the content of the
budget for the fiscal year 1951
is better than former budgets
since the total amount is lower.
Form follows Hoover
Commission Recommendation
The form of the new budget is
in line with the Hoover Commis¬
sion Report, in that it is of the
“performance” type. The Citi¬
zens Committee for the Hoover
Report in commenting on the
new form of the budget says
“...it represents one of the
most significant steps in the
nation’s history”.
Because he considered it so
fundamental to improved go¬
vernment management Mr. Hoo¬
ver himself, as Chairman of the
famed Hoover Commission, per¬
sonally undertook the prepara¬
tion of the Ccmhiission’s origi¬
nal Report on Budgeting. Presi¬
dent Truman has taken an act¬
ive interest in the restyling of
the budget along the line sug¬
gested by Mr. Hoover. Mr. Frank
Pace, Jr., the new director of
the budget has worked hard to
make the Budget meet the sug¬
gestion of the Commission, and
has accomplished much in the
six months he has had fer whip¬
ping the annual budget of ex¬
penditures into the proper form.
There is much controversy over
the contents of the budget; but
there is universal approval of its
n;w and more understandable
form.
This universal approval comes
from the fact that the new form
the budget has taken “...gives
mere comprenhensive and re¬
liable information to the Presi¬
dent, the Congress and the ge¬
neral public” in the words of the
Hoover Commission, and < quot¬
ing the same authority further)
“helps the individual Congress¬
man to understand what the
Government is doing, howmuch
it is doing, and what the costs’
are.” This is true because the
new budget attention is focused
upon the general character and
relative importance of the work
to be done, or upon the services
rendered by the expenditures
authorized in the budget.

and the President have
proposed a total spending pro-
gram of $42.4 billions of dollars,
a decrease from the budget pro-
for the current year of
practically a billion dollars. The
budget is lower because the ex-
penditures proposed for natio-
nal defense and foreign aid
have been substantially reduced,
reductions were recoin-
mended for the Veterans pro-
gram, the farm price suppert
program. Included were $250
million dollars for the compul-
sory health insurance program
recommended by the President,
but which will not be adopted
by the Congress. Included also
is the sum of $300 million dol¬
lars for Federal Aid to Educa¬
tion, which I think is of vast
to Georgia and the
country as a whole, but which I
fear will not be adopted by the
House due to the religious con¬
troversy that has arisen in con¬
with this proposal.
If all of the President’s plans
are adopted by the Congress,
I feel sure will not be
done, the new budget would
mean an increase in the na-
tional debt of about five billion
dollars. It is my hope that the
Congress can cut a substantial
from the budget, and bring
it more in lie with expected re-
venue. It is my hope and belief
that excise taxes will be reduced
to pre-war levels, and that the
entire tax structure can be
and improved so as
to stimulate business and pri¬
vate investment. There can be
no further substantial reduction
in taxes, no matter how econo¬
mically we conduct our domestic

the Department of Agriculture
to speed the distribution of sur¬

program. We authorized such
distribution when we continued
price supports last year. But
distribution so far has been con¬
