House Makes Small Cut In Eisenhower's Budget
Washington — (U.P.) - The House Appropriations committee took its first vote today on President Eisenhower's budget and reduced it only a microscopic amount.
The committee, in its first action on a money bill at this session of Congress, cut only $5,541,000 off the $3,338,783,000 requested by Mr. Eisenhower for the Treasury and Postoffice departments for the 1955 fiscal year starting July 1.
This was a cut of less than two-tenths of one per cent. The small reduction indicated that Congress is going to find it hard to reduce the overall budget enough to eliminate the $3 billion deficit which the administration has predicted for fiscal 1955.
The committee voted $577,855,600 for the Treasury, compared to $578,-783,000 requested by Mr. Eisenhower. Last year Congress gave the Treasury 612,001,000.
The committee reduced the Treas-
ure and Postage departures box, $4,614,090.
The Postoffice department w a s voted $2,755,386,000 by the committee, compared to $2,760,000,000 requested for 1955 and $2,771,317,750 appropriated to the department in fiscal 1954.
In addition to the operating funds for the two departments, the committee approved $10,191,602,145 for fixed charges of the government. These charges included $8,800,000,000 for interest on the national debt and $2,728,000,000 for tax refunds. Congress is required by law to appropriate whatever money is necessary to meet these fixed obligations.
The committee noted that the Postoffice department has an estimated deficit of $329,000,000 in the next fiscal year, which is $108 million below that for this year. Another house committee has approved legislation to raise postal rates by some $240 million to offset a substantial portion of the deficit. But Postmaster General Arthur Summerfield asked Congress today to approve pay raises for postal employees that would add $580 million a year to the postal deficit.
The committee did not approve any funds to continue the pneumatic tube service for handling mail in New York City. Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield recently cancelled a contract for this service.
The Internal Revenue service was voted $265,912,000, only $88,000 below the the $266,000,000 requested. The committee said it "looks with favor" on plans to increase the number of revenue agents and take advantage of the opportunity to collect more
