WAYS AND MEANS CHAIRMAN
HANDLED ROUGHLY BY HOUSE
Columbia. — House Ways and
Means Committee Chairman Charlie
Verner of Greenville has come up
with an idea that may evaporate the
mist that clouds the lawmakers’ un
derstanding of State finances.
The membership of the House has
Representatives to outlaw Commun-
ists in South Carolina. One would ^
require a lo(yalty oath of all the em- —
ployees including teachers. By latest ^

the complexities of even onq depart

is hectic debate, punctuated by de
mands for exact information on a
dozen, problems, and underscored by
criticism of the state Budget and
Control Board which drew up the
basic budget plan.
An air of frustration rules at first,
then the lawmakers settle down to
various attitudes of resignation to the
ultimate outcome of the situation.

ing like no witness ever saw. The
physical and mental strain is more
than one mortal should bear.
Should Be Informed
The solution to this is for the
House members to educate them
selves on the financial problems of
the individual state agencies, insti
tutions, and departments. There are
nearly 70.
Since it is unrealistic to try to get
the 124 House members to undergo
such an indoctrination and continu
ing study course, Mr. Verner has
come up with the next best thing.
As of now the 27-man Ways and
Means Committee which writes the 1
appropriation bill (mostly on the
recommendations of the budget and
control board) is divided into nine,
three-man committees. Each com
mittee isassigned at least a half-doz
en State agencies to study and be
come expert on.
Not only will this enable them to
write money bills more intelligently,
but they will also be able to share
the burden of explaining the con
tents and the reasons for the money
requests to the House—the job now
undertaken by one man, Mr. Verner.
It is only right that the committee
men assume responsibility for the
passage of appropriation measures.
They, not the chairman alone, write
the bills.
When the 1953-54 State spending
bill was handed back to the House
this week, the subcommittees were
ready to handle any questions.
Mr. Verner has appointed the sub
committees to work on money meas
ures. tex the 1954-General. Assembly.
By that time they should be author-

Washington, March 21.—An un
precedented outbreak of animal
disease in the past 15 months has
caused experts to look for evidence
that germ warfare is being waged
against U. S. farmers.
Dr. B. T. Simms, chief of the
Agriculture Department’s Bureau rz
of Animal Industry, said today
‘‘there- is no evidence at *aH” of
such activity thus far.
“Of course, we have thought of
the possibility and are watching it
closely,” Simms said, adding that
field workers have been alerted.
Scientists and veterinarians have
had multiple headaches during the
past 15 months as both old and
new animal and poultry ailments ^
cropped up in almost every section
of the country.
“We’ve never had a time when
so many came along, one right
after} the other,” Simms said.
Causes and remedy of some are
still ^unknown. Simms said some,
which have yet to hit large num
bers of animals, present potential
threats unless farmers are awak
ened to the danger. He hinted that
the BAI will need more money
ifor adequate research.
Among the diseases are:
Air-sac — a recently discovered
poultry virus. It kills about six perils
cent of all broilers annually. Losses j —-
