Eight THE EMPORIA DAILY GAZETTE Emporim Friday, Augnrt 18,1940 itees Opposes A House Bill Holds DeSoto Celebation a Useless Expense Washington, Aug. Ed H. representing the Fourth Kansas district strenuously opposed the passage of an amendment to a bill passed two months ago providing for a commission to commemodate the 400th anniversary of the discovery of the Mississippi rivei by DeSoto. The House proceedings disclose Mr. Rees' protest as follows: Mr.

Allen of HI. Mr. Speaker. I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Kansas (Mr. Rees).

Mr. Rees of Kansas. Mr. Speaker, the resolution we hive before us this afternoon is an amendment to a bill that passed this Congress about two months ago, providing for the creation of a commission to commemorate the 400th anniversarj of the discovery of the Mississipp river by DeSoto. In other words, provides for an exposition to be held on that account.

This afternoon, we are considering an amendment tba says, aniong other things, that any eicpositicn or celebration may be held in pursuance to this act, deemed advisable by the Secretary the Interior, and shall take the form a conservation exposition for the rpurpo.se of dramatizing all conservation activities of the Federal anc State governments, and may be hele such places in the Mississipp ai the commission may de- LIMIT IS SET. Let's look at the bill. Just for a anomcnt. It says, among other rthings, that the commission shai: plans and programs, subjecl the approve! of the secretary ol interior. It also provides that commission may regard to our civil service person? as may be deemed necessary for the purposes of this Jict.

And now look at Section 6: is hereby authorized to be ap- -pnated such sums as the commission -shall determine, for expenditure in -such manner as the secretary of the shall deem to be advisable tin carrying out the purposes of this lact," Let me call to your attention Iright here, that no limit is provided lln the amount of this authorisation. "But let's get down to brass tacks. CHere we are, 400 years after I eSoto Ihas gone, bringing to the floor of House a measure that provides the expenditure of money to that event. I dare say is not a dozen members on the of the House this afternoon have read this bill carcfululy; I ask a half dozen of you to -raise your hands and tell me if you ever read the bill with the -amendments thereto. ItnaS TO PUT ON BRAKES.

The original bill was enough. It to have provided for one We let that go through, 'hardly knowing what was being "done. But today, you open the gate "wide for the authorization for the expenditure of money in an amount that is not even limited by the provisions of the bill. They tell us on the floor of the House this afternoon that the bill does not provide for the appropriation of money. Mr.

Norrell. Mr Speaker, will the gentleman yield? Mr. Rees ol Kansas. Not now, I want to talk about this bill. You know how legislation is carried on.

First we have bills to authorize the spending of money. Then later we appropriate the funds on the ground, it Is claimed, that Congress authorized the proposition. TIME TO ECONOMIZE. I am in favor of celebrations of all kinds. No doubt but that this celebration would be worth-while.

But I am not in favor of authorizing a celebration that mny provide for the spendinne of hundreds of thousands even millions of dollars at a time when your government find mine is In debt some and with plans before us that are polng to require and need the spending of billions more, in order to have an adequate defense program. Mr. Speaker, this authorization is a fine chance for pork barrel for the entire Mississippi I live in that valley. Look at this amendment for a are using the Department of the Interior's conservation proRram to celebrate the DeSoto discovery, 400 years ago. I do not know how In the world you arc going to connect them up, but It seems to give you an excuse for it.

You give secretary of the interior the right, along with the commission, to approve the places where the money may be spent, and in the next, bill you Congress authorized it Congress approved it." Then what do you do? ahead and spend it. NOBODY WANTS IT. So, this afternoon we are creating a great pork barrel for the Mii- sisslppt valley, because if one town is going to have celebration out of this money, another community la going to do the same thing. Nobody has spoken in favor of this amendment except about three or four members who live right In the vicinity where the money, In all probability, would be spent. Very few seem to care about it.

But let me call your attention to one that there is no demand for.this authorization on the part of the people of your community or mine. Stop and think a minute. Is there anyone in your district, or your state, or any group of people whom you think, after giving this matter careful study, would want you, to vote for a measure of this kind? SEED COURAGE TO NO. So, I hope the gentlemen sitting to the right of the Speaker, as well as those to his have the courage of their convictions and set this legislation aside until least wheTi your government and mine Us in better shape to afford the authorization of this expenditure. Again, let me pay my respects to the distinguished gentleman from Mississippi, who -probably knows more American history, and knows more about the great men who have served our any other member of this House.

I hate the highest respect for what he has to say about the great DeSoto. I want to agree, too, with the gentleman from Arkansas that he represents a wonderful state and a' wonderful Mr. Speaker, neither of these arguments persuades me that this Is a time or place when we should permit the enactment of this legislation. Let's vote it down. Girl Is Queen Of Circus Fliers Antoinette Concello, with the limpid eyes and svelte figure of i Parisian mannikin, is today recognized as the greatest feminine aerialist.
