Mr. Truman had trimmed the money from his budget for the next fiscal year and had asked Congress to do likewise. But subcommittee members said they had agreed to override 'the president and go ahead with plans for the hospital program.

Granting the $237,000,000 contract authority doesn't necessarily mean the money will be spent during the next year, or -tt all for that matters But it does mean that as far as the subcommittee concerned, Congress Is prepared to provide funds for the program. The subcommittee's decision is still subject to review by the full Jkppi'opi-iations committee. But the full group is expected to go along- with the subcommittee. The president's proposed cut in would have eliminated 24 new hospitals and 14 or approximately 16,000 beds. Mr.

Truman's proposal was vigorously fought by veterans organizations and other groups. Elsewhere in Congress: W. R.
