Cutting the
budget: Hit or miss Protest
i
Associated Press News Analysis
WASHINGTON - The fine
political art of hudget-cutting,
practiced with great fanfare by
Congress each year, is obscuring,
the fact that congressional ap-
propriations procedures are
failing o keep pace with the
growing complexity of the fed-
eral budget.
The budget has become so in-
volved that some senators and
congressmen who don't serve on
the appropriations committees
complain they don't know
enough about the / budget
amendments to vote intelligent-
ly.
Even committee members fre-
quently understand them only
in general terms.
Last week, the Senate passed
a money bill covering agricul-
tural activities without know-
ing how much spending it
would generate in the coming
year. A spending figure con-
tained in a preliminary report
was dropped, on aide said, be-
cause no one was sure it was
right.
A special congressional re-
form committee recommended
two years ago that Congress
employ computers and other
modern techniques to assist it
with the appropriations process.;
But a Senate-passed bill to
do this is stalled in the House
Rules Committee. While provi-
sions for extra trips home and
additional electric typewriters
for congressional offices have
been passed separately, the
c9mputerization proposal lies
dormant.
In the meantime, Congress is
ready to pass a tax increase ac-
companied by provisions to
chop $10 billion from next
year's appropriations and $6
billion from actual spending.
The two figures differ since
appropriated money can be
spent over a period of several
years.
Congress, having decided cuts
should be made, will let Presi-
dent Johnson bear the burden
of making them. The President
said last month h
gress should be do
e thinks Con- cuts the budget by $1.4 billion
ing this in its in appropriations; ,the Senate
consideration of the appropria-
tions bills.
In the next breath, however,
he said he doubts this wotild
happen. As former chairman of
an appropriations subcommit-
tee, he knows the score.
The reports accompanying
such measures talk continually
about economy and where the
budget was cut. A close scrutiny
gives a different picture.
Take, for example, that agri-
culture appropriation bill.
-The House claims that its bill
says its bill crops $16,9 million
less from the appropriations.
But the administration's bud-
get contained $425 million for
sales of loans in so-called par-
ticipation sales certificates, and
$460 million to reimburse base
losses of the commodity credit
corp., a government owned
body.
Both of these items are, in
effect, only bookkeeping trans-
actions shifting money between
government funds. Thus they
have no real impact at all on
GLASSBORO SPEECH:
LBJ asks Soviet aid
to reach globalfpeace'
spending. By deleting them,
Congress saved nothing in cur-
rent spending.
The budget recommended
also $917 million for the food-
for-peace program. Congress
cut all but $300 million from
this, bringing the appropria-
tions saving on these three
items to just over 4$1.5 billion,
more than the entire saving in
the bill.
It then added more than $100
million to the politically ,pop-
ular soil and water conserva-
tion programs.
But the food for peace 'pro-
gram can get more in various
ways from things such as U.S.-
owned currencies in foreign
countries and carryover funds
from the past.
The House Appropriations
Committee estimated that sav-
ings in actual- spending from
the food-for-peace cuts would
be $361 million of the $414 mil-
lion in spending it claims to
have chopped from the agricul-
'ture budget.
The Senate Appropriations
Committee was unable to give
a comparable figure.
But the actual spending on
the program probably will not
be known until this time next
year, as the 1969 fiscal year
draws to a close.
Sometimes the two houses
juggle figures between each
other.

(Continued from Page 1)
The purpose of the meeting
and the ensuing march were to
gain support for the protest and
financial aid for those arrested,
Monday.
Bond was set at $10,000 for each;
of the 11 students arrested for the
sale of marijuana and at $5,000
for one student arrested for the
sale of LSD.
Students abandoned plans to
visit all the dorms in order to
receive police cooperation and as=.
sistance for the march.
A march leader, Brad Lang,
commented that the counter-
demonstrators "are angry but
they haven't found a way to chan-
nel their anger."

GLASSBORO, N.J. (/P) - -
President Johnson, returning to
this 1967 summit site to encour-
age closer working ties with the
Soviet Union, urged yesterday
that the two countries cooperate
in achieving global peace and
meaningful nuclear disarmament.
Johnson was the commence-
ment speaker at Glassboro State
College - the campus where he
held 10 hours of talks last June
with Soviet Premier Alexei N.
Kosygin.
While there was reason to be-
lieve Johnson would welcome an
opportunity, before leaving office,
to have a return conversation
with Kosygin in some Soviet
Glassboro, he made no mention
of that possibility.
But he placed heavy emphasis
on hopes that, by working to-
gether for man's good, the two
countries can cause the cold war
to fade away.
Discussing current Vietnam
talks in Paris, Johnson said Amer-
ican negotiators "have met with
little more than bellicose state-
ments and evasions" from Hanoi.
Ian trade
Noting that the North Vietnam-
ese demand a halt to all U.S.
bombing of their country, John-
son reiterated a stand he has con-
sistently taken since negotiations
became a possibility: "Until the
men in Hanoi face the real prob-
lems of ending the war, we must
stand firm and fast."
Johnson got a friendly reception
from several thousand members
of the graduating class, their
families and townspeople.

gunfire near border
(Continued from Page 1)
raeli planes were shot down and
seen crashing in flames west of
the Jordan River, in territory oc-
cupied by Israel during the 1967
war.
Israeli sources reported no
planes lost.
At the United Nations, El-Far-
ra and Tekoah gave their versions
of the day's events in letters to
U.S. Ambassador Arthur J. Gold-
berg, president of the UN Security
Council for June. Neither asked
for a council meeting.
USE ROCKETS
El-Farra said Israeli'forces used
ground-to-ground rockets for the
first time in the 20 years of Arab-
Israeli hostilities. An Israeli army
spokesman in Tel Aviv denied
that such rockets were used.
Tekoah said, "During recent
days, Jordanian attacks across the
River Jordan against Israeli vil-
lages have become more frequent
and intensive. The Jordanian gov-
ernment is duty bound to put an
imediate end to such breaches of
the cease-fire."
Goldberg conferred with El-
Farra, Tekoah and several mem-
bers of the 15-nation council.
- In Amman, Jordanian Foreign
Minister Dr. Abdul Moneim Rifai
called in ambassadors of the Unit-
ed States, the Soviet Union, Brit-
ain and France to inform them
of developments, Rifai also met
with heads of Arab missions in
Amman.
The new outbrea lcame after
increasing Arab resistance in ter-
ritries occupied by Israel since
the June 5-10 war last year, and
a call for a massive Arab strike
Wednesday throughout the west
bank of the Jordan.
An Israeli military communique
isued in Tel Aviv said its fighter-
bombers were in action for three
hours hitting positions along a
121/2-mile front. All planes were
reported to have returned safely.
PRE-DAWN FIGHT
The Israeli version of how the
fighting started told of pre-dawn
shellings at settlements south of
Sea of Galilee, a common occur-
rence there. By afternoon, the
Israelis said, the firing shifted to
farm settlements at Neve Or, Yar-
dena, Gesher and Belt Yosef, all
in the Beisan Valey, and Ashdot
Yaacov in the Jordan Valley,
where field laborers were allegedly
shot at.
The Israelis said seven or eight
farms were hit along the battle-
line which stretched from Afikim,
south of the Sea of Galilee, to Belt
Posef further south. The Israelis
said they struck five enemy bat-
teries.
The fighting followed a state-
ment by Israeli Defense Minister
Moshe Dayan to the Arab mayor
of Hebron Monday stating that
Jewish settlers would remain
permanently in the Israeli-held
Jordanian city and that the Is-
raeli army would protect them.
Jordan has asked the United
Nations to take "effective steps"
to keep the settlers out.
