The best evidence of the still existent Congressional See is the tightening up process now being purs, Politically Congress has two ways in which to implement its control over expendi- tures. First, by standing committees which regularly hold hearings, study problems, work out and report the best forms of legislation to meet those problems! Second, through special in- vestigating committees which conduct, more exhaustive studies of problems and finally report back to their -re- spective houses of the Congress. There is no other practical Constitutional method of parliamentary procedure. Many special committees are now’en~ gaged in investigations. Legislation is. never worked out on the floor of the Senate and the House. This always has to be done by the Committees, The real proof Congress does have adequate control over expenditures is to be found in the fact that ‘under our American Constitutional: system of Government, we have, in 150:years, pierce the best governed Nation in (world, , MR. YOUNG CHALLENGES: Rep, Hartley uses outmoded methods of reactionary Congressional thinking to defend his arguments. He blames the bureaucrats for what is wrong and defends Congress by waving the flag; he is partisan in his attack and patriotic in his defense. On the one hand, there is “uncontrolled bureau- cratic extravagance and waste”; on the other hand, by some sort of hokus-pocus, “the best governed na- tion in the world”—with the same set of bureaucrats, too! The inadequacy of Congressional ‘control is not a partisan issue; it has haunted Congress for a long time— before the Harding scandals, before the Grant frauds. If Rep. Hartley is correct, it will haunt Congress for some time to come. REP.

Con- gressional procedures are deficient om | both points. Instead of passing a budget bill, Congress passes a dozen appropria- tion bills. These 10,000-word bills are detailed beyond comprehension; ‘the attention of Congress is thus diverted to 2 dptratpperer es specific allocatiot bout which it knows little.
