They do not need the help of a federal agency to police the roads. than the total appropriations ap proved by the Congress for that particular year. DEFICIENCY BILLS ADD TO BUDGET . <1 This comes about as a result of several situations, two of which I want to point out. First, is the matter of deficiency or sup plemental appropriations bills. These are bills which each year provide certain departments with additional funds to spend that same fiscal year above the amount originally appropriated in the preceding session of Congress. For example, let’s consider de ficiency and supplemental “ap propriations approved at thfe ses sion of the Congress last year. In 1955 Congress had appropriated about $64.5 billion for 1956. But when Jhe 1955 session of Con gress met, deficiency and sup plemental appropriations were reqeusted by the departments, and Congress appropriated an ad ditional $857,414,000 for use in fiscal 1956. This, in effect, in creased the total appropriations for 1956. Thus, the appropriation made for each fiscal year of the Fed eral Government is not final un til all the deficiency and sup plemental appropriation^ bills are Clinton High Senior Is Budding Goli Star By Florence Winn In Clinton High Sentinel A few weeks ago a cute, petite, vivacious blond made CHS very Missions Banquet At Joanna Church Is Well Attended t, Over 125 people attended the Youth-Parent Mision banquet at the Joanna Baptist church on Sat urday evening, May 18. .... , i, ’ In keeping with Girls’ Auxili- proud of its own daughter, E aine p ^ K k h banauet was Addison, who shot the first 'hole k *n t>anqu ^ was » . , « * sponsored by all the missionary in dne ever to be made by a worn- ( 0 ^ amzatl0ns y * , the churc h. ^ Larry Murphy was master of ceremonies and Elvin Floyd gave the invocation.

When these facts were made clear to members of the Commit tee, I was able to secure more than half the members to support my opposition to the bill when I explained the red tape.

BUDGET CONTINUING PROBLEM moves along, the continuing chief topic of consideration aftd con versation is the size <^f the pro posed budget. Perhaps the budget is generally a dry subject to you. The reason I have been discusing it is that I believe-you should know what is happening to your tax dollars.

Funds carried over from prior years, which will be spent in 1958, now total more than the 1958 budget itself. ACTUAL SPENDING IN 1958 NEAR $143 BILLION More than $143 billion will be spent if the proposed budget is added to the funds available from prior years. Highway trust fund appropriations and balances might raise the total above $150 billion. I have already voted to reduce the budget requests this year by nearly half a billion dollars in the regular appropriations bills which have been considered in the Sen ate.
