Supplemental appro priations generally are for the next fiscal year and are fnore often, a re- Tision of the original budget, also sometimes • resulting from congress ional action in deterring considera-1 lion of budget estimates. There are two other congressional i practices which mislead the un initiated in budget calculations: One | •s the pr’actice of ‘'contract authon- jz ‘ions” which permit an agency t.i contract tor expenditures without (setting up any definite budget and which means deficiency or supple mental appropriations in the follow-; in” session. The other practice "len.d’.ng authorization',’ waicn is an ; app, optnat:on-tnr nn-Tigericy to" lend' and which is-re turned to the treas ury at some future date. Such, an authorization would be the amount appropriated to the rural electriflca- pUwH admrn:stratum b> lend-to' co- ops, or to reclamation projects- and which are paid back to the treasury over a period of years. These ap propriations are not truly govern ment' expenditures since they are paid back with interest, but when a ; cut is made, they are counted as ‘'savings'’ by congress. AMERICANISM PREFERRED By Allston Calhoun, of Greenwood NO MARINE—DEAD OR ALIVE! With my years of experience in : observing the activities of labor un ions and labor union leaders, both as ja newspaper man and in radio, I con- Isidered myself well versed with every j trick of’the trade of tne labor racket which is building tne foundation for the conversion of our once free Am- .erican Democracy into a government of Socialism and eventual Commun- j ism. But here is an account of an incident which strikes a new low in J the heartless selfishness of the labor i leaders. A tew days ago the body ot young James J. Donnelly, Jr., of Jersey City, New Jersey, was brought back from the Pacific. Tnis young Am erican had enlisted in . the Marine Corps on August 13th of 1942, and he had fought all through Bougainville. ! Guam, and Iwo Jima. He was killed at Iwo while attempting to rescue a i wounded pal. f- Light Marine buddies from the ; Bayonne Naval Base which is neai : his home were assigned to act as pall bearers when his body would bt laid to rest in his home town ceme- j tery. But at this point entered the AFL United Funeral Chauffeurs and ; Helpers Union of Jersey City which j decreed that the eight Marines could j dof be pall bearers because Union j rules required that six members of | the Funeral Chauffeurs and Helpers carry the casket , from the funeral i home to the church and then place j it in the hearse. Protests were filed with the Union leaders and officials, but they would not change their decisiog. No^ Am erican Marine, alive or dead, 'could have the right to 'interfere with Un ion rules—and that was that. The young hero’s mother, whose appeals had'met with the cold re- fusels of the labor leaders, mpde this remark, “If a boy gives his life fight ing for his country, I think the least the-Union could do i§ to permit him to be borne on ttfe shoulders of his comrades.” Folks, that is a masterpiece of un derstatement—“If my boy gives his life for his country, why won’t the Union permit a guard of his comrades to carry his body to its final resting place?” In the first place, it is a fundamen tal right, as sacred as ones birth into the world and baptism into the church, that when life is ended, then * Secauter She’s considerate of other® She never interrupts when line is in use She releases line in emergency She gives party called Time to answer SOUTHERN CELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGZ.IPH COMPANY Incorpotaiod FAMED FOR QUALITY...
