Figures released Ly the House and Senate appropriatio= commit- tees disclo:ad that by far the gre est sum, $129,761,112,751, went to th> War and Navy depart- ments. . { Thus the 78th Congress takes its T7th place beside the Congress, which declared wa the most pralific spender in American his- tory. The 1041-42 appropriations of the 77th Congress reached $204,- 863,924,329, of which $160,739,010,- 888 went to the military establish- ments. ‘These appropriations contrast sharply with the $28324,499,318 voted by the 76th Congress before the outbreak of war, when the na- tion’s preparedness program was already getting under way. is the $652,454,992 appropriated by the 43rd Congress in 1875-76. Indicative of the increasing im- portance of the Pacific war is the disclosure that the present Con- gress mppropriated more for the Navy than its predecessor. The 78th Congress voted $55,- 201,426,323 for .he Navy depart- ment, compared to $42,491,396,264 appropriated by the 77th Congress. The appropriation for the Army took a sharp drop, however. Whereas the 77th Conrress voted | $118,247,614,624 for the Army, the present Congress appropriated $74,469,686,428. In the opinion of capital observ- ers, the peak has probably been |J reached in war-time expenditures, | with those for the Army expected to continue declining until they are | surpassed by the Navy? | The end of the war in Europe | sometime in 1945 will be accom- ( panied by a demand in Congress for a sharp reduction in cxpcndx- | EIGHT HIGHHEEL TEAMS MEET IN - ALLEY CONTESTS \ WomenKegIers Take Over | Etks" Alleys Last Night for Tourney Games Last night on the Elks' alleys the |ladies league, the Highheelers, took \over with _ the .following results:' | Elks teat the Federals, 1122 to 1065;, Dclls winning over the Gals, 1222 to 1187; Baranof successfully contest !ing the Skirts, 1076 to 1008; the Im perials skinning the Alley Cats, 1162 to 1129. | High scorers (over 400) were Lein of the Federals, 460; Johnson of the Gals, 500; Hagerup of the Gals, 408; Metcalfe of the Alley Cats, 417.

Alresdy various groups, both Democratic and Re publican, are drawing up new ta ms for submissicn to the| 79th Congress. Republicans in the House of Representatives have already served notice that they will call for a drastic reduction in tax lev- | ies when the war ends. “We believe that the present ta burden can be ¢ut in half when the | war ends,” declared Rep. Daniel A. Reed of New York, chairman of ‘a 25-member Republican post-war tax study committee. Taxes Halved After War? Whether Reed meant the end of the war in Europe or the war with Japan also has NOT been made clear. A 50 per cent tax reduction, said Reed, “will require an cnd to ex-| travagant spending of taxpayers’ funds, an end to deficit financing, | and a wise and sound governmen- | tal policy, such as w- have NOT| known in the past dozen years.” House Republicans served no- tice during the closing days of the Sth Congress that they intended to cut non-war expenditures when- ever they coulc. Voting as a solid bloe, with many Democrats absent, they refused to approve a $5,000,000 appropriation | voted § |fnr the 1945 agricultural census, or-which Congress previously 0,000 to establish the ground, work now, pleted this inary work, Conferences and discussions are also being held by a joint :ommittee on internal revenue tax- ation under the chairmanship of Rep. Robert L. Doughton (D.) of Jorth Carclina, head of the House ys and means committee.
