A12 ¥ BUREAUCRACY HIT BY SENATOR BORAH Holds Government proaches “Most Wasteful Form” Yet Conceived. By the Associated Press. The people have been told by Senator Borah that the Federal Government is approaching “the most wasteful, the most demoralizing and most inefficient form" yet conceived. This statement was made by the Idaho Republican ye:terday to answer President Hoover's recent assertion that no tax increase would be necessary if Congress kept expenditures within bud- get reccmmendations. Borah replied that “Tongress is con- etantly being beseiged by the executive departments for_much larger appro- priations than Congress is willing to | grant” In the last 10 years, Congress has lop- ped $414,000,000 from budget estimates, while Federal appropriations have grown from $1,008.602,000 in 1914 to $4.821,- 374,000 for 1931. There is no remedy for the situation, Borah said, “unless the people, the vot- ers themselves. place this subject on their 2genda and call for an accounting in no uncertain terms.” Within the last two years, the Idahoan asserted, 26 Government commissions have been established, of which Con- gress has been responsible for only one or two. Bureaus Held Extravagant. “The most wasteful and extravagant part of the Government is this bureau- cracy, Nation-wid2, which we are build- ing up. and appropriations are its life bloo Borah continued. “Unless there is some limit to be placed upen the building up of these bureaucracies there cannot possibly be any decrease in appropriations.

He ascailed what he| | called “an effort to put the sole blame on Congress. “The fact is,” he said, “Congress is constantly being besieged by the execu- | tive departments for much larger ap-| propriations than Congress is willing | to grant.” “It needs no argument,” Borah said, “to satisfy one that Government ex- | penditures are wastefully large and that | the evergrowing burden of taxation one cf the great factors in bringing | about our present depression “If the matter is left to th> unbridled | discretion of the men who gather at| the Capitol, without the most emphatic instructions from home, there will not be any reduction in expenditures or cur- tailment in the building p of a bu- Teaucracy.

Prince Svasti _of Siam, buoyant | father-in-law of King Prajadhipok, re- turned to the Capital late yesterday, after a trip to Arlington and Mount Vernon, with a rather wearied group | of companions. For the prince is onc of those peo- [ple who, when they go places, see things, and he “did” the Washington shrine’in a manner that would put the ordinary tourist in eclipse. If there was a nook or cranny of Mount Vernon that Prince Svastl missed, it was certaintly not his fault, for, as he emphasized on two or three occasions, when it was intimated that perhaps he was tiring, “I want to see cverything.” On his rounds, Prince Svastl, who was accompanied by the Princess Svasti and other members of the royal party. showed himself entirely familiar with early Americana in general, and with Washington in particular. Encounter Hundreds of Tourists. Incidentally, the prince‘and princess encountered several hundred tourists in Mount Vernon, composed, for the most part, of boys and girls of high school age, and_their willingness to accede to continued requests for photographs and the prince's friendly banter with the youngsters made & decided hit with the latter, who sped the visitors away with | a cheer. Prince Svast! offered to “grin” for the first group who sought to photo- graph him and Princess Svasti as they arrived at Mount, Vernon, and the prin- cess, obvlously pleased with the recep- tion, turned to the group to say that| “I love you all.” | “We love you, t00,” one of the girls ! responded, and, with this friendly basis | established, the crowd set out in the | wake of the royal visitors, at times | your deli= Ducks, Fresh Squabs S thro g about them to such an ex- tent that their aides felt called upon to caution them. ne hlnx that appeared to strike odd was that the Gov- zmmem hu never taxen over the sd- ministration of Mount Vernon as a national shrine. Prince Decorates Tomb. Following custom, the prince, on ar- rival at Mount Vernon, went immedi- ately to the tomb of Washington and there placed an immense wreath. “I have great reverence for Washing- ton,” he said as he approached the tomb. “I read about him as a boy.” Then, placing the wreath, he withdrew | a few paces, stood sllently for several moments, then, bowing deeply, with- drew. The sightseeing tour then was started, and for an hour Prince Svasti explored, even going so far as to walk a hundred yards or so out toward the Potomac to | Fet n betier view of the mansion, As the various ftems were pointed out | he continued to repeat, “That's good; | that's good.” As their last act he and Princess | Svasti, together with Gen. His Excel-| Jency Chao-Phya Bijayendr, chief aide | de camp general to the King, and Mom-Chao Vipulya Svastikula, the pri- vate secretary to King Prajadhipok. | signed the register at Mount Vernon. Party Visits Arlington. The royal visitors, escort=d by Stanley Hornbeck of the State Department. and their aides prefaced the trip to Mount | Vernon with a visit to Arlington, where, with simple ceremony, a wreath was placed on the Tomb of the Unknown | Soldler. | Arriving at the Fort Myer gate, the | prince was accorded a salute cf 21 guns, | and formally greeted by Gen MacAr- | thur, chief of staff, and Brig. Gen. Ed- gar T.
