Here In Washington, one paragraph In a $4 2 billion House public works bill approved Feb.

5 authorizes the expenditure of $700,000 to save the hillside. That lone paragraph Is refueling a fiery debate about "pork barrel giveaways." Critics of the $700,000 authorization say it typifies wasteful government spending by a congressman seeking to curry favor with the voters back home. The people back home don't see It that way. They see themselves as victims of a natural disaster, distinguishable from floods and tornadoes only in that it is measured in weeks and months rather than days and minutes. Rep.

Gene Snyder of Kentucky, the fourth-ranking Republican on the House Public Works Committee, wants something done about it and is sponsoring the Burkshire Terrace project Burkshire Terrace is an upper-middle class housing development on the outskirts of Louisville. About 200 houses were built there In the mid-1970s, built on a layer of silt topsot! overlaying an Inclined layer of poor grade shale. Local zoning did not then require geological surveys before building. The homes would be priced In the range today if anyone were buying. Now, when it rains hard, the silt becomes saturated and starts slipping on the shale, sliding out from under the houses.

Of three homes condemned, two have tumbled off their foundations. About 25 others are In Immediate danger, 1 id I and ultimately, all 200 could be threatened, experts say. Snyder, who represents the area, has volunteered the Army Corps of Engineers to stop the landslide, at an authorized cost to taxpayers of $700,000. He wants the Corps to shore up the hillside and develop drainage systems that would allow rainwater to get off the slope without taking the hill with It. He and his supporters say government is serving its citizens.

Critics say using federal money to help private landowners amounts to a government bailout The project has been attacked in a newsletter called "Profiles In Pork" a reference to the pork barrel aspects of the bill written by the Coalition for Water Project Review, a Washington-based environmental group spearheading opposition to the works bill. "It's obvious that those people have a problem," says Chuck Holfman of Lexington, coordinator of the Kentucky Rivers Coalition, which compiled a state-level report on (lie situation for the water project coalition. "But if those folks can get 100 percent free help, why can't everyone else come to Congress and get some relief? You have to draw the line somewhere." Critics also say the project amounts to reimbursing private citizens tor poor house-buying judgment. And, they say, It carries the corps into a project far beyond the Army's usual duties, setting dangerous precedents for future use of tax money. TV.
