Moscow Silent On Bomb Explosion Continued from Page One It brought urgent and hopefulnew demands from lawmakers, scientists, diplomats and others for effective international atom controls -a demand which- merely echoed Mr. Truman's own words.

It caused a general withering of Congressional opposition to sharing American atomic secrets with Britain and Canada. And it raised questions enough to world guessing for months. But when and where the explo occurred, how efficient the Russian may be, and what might on future relations between the east and the west those questions and dozens of others unanswered except for guesses.

Each year the hearings and debates on the authorization bill seem to be repeated when the appropriation bill comes up.

It looks like a re-run of the same old feature, and the ordinary reader probably feels like saying "this is where I came Why does Congress have to cover the same ground twice? The theory sounds pretty good. First the general merits of a measure are considered. The specialists on foreign affairs work the matter over thoroughly in committee. Then Congress passes an authorization bill. On April 14 of this year, for example, it decided to carry on ECA for another year and to provide almost 000 for the work.

Next the appropriation bill for the same program comes up. The appropriations committees look into the matter and decide what the government can afford to spend, taking into consideration all the other demands on the U. S. Treasury. Under certain circumstances they can increase, reduce or withhold entirely the amount authorized original bill.

The trouble starts when the appropriations committees decide to review the merits of the measure. The rules of both houses say they cannot legislate but can only appropriate. But in the ECA bill last year and this year they thoroughly rehashed the arguments on the substance of the ECA program. And in their proposed appropriations they made a variety of stipulations about how the money should be spent. Most of the debate on the ECA appropriations bills hinged on the contentions of foreign policy specialists in the House and Senate that the appropriators were trying to be policy makers.

Fundamental issues of ECA policy were involved in some of the stipulations of the appropriations committees. Typical was the proposal of Sen. MeClellan that $1,500,000, 000 of this year's ECA funds be earmarked for the purchase of U.S. farm products classed as surplus. There is growing resentment in both the Senate and House against such alleged encroachment by the' appropriations committees.

Many senators and representatives feel that once Congress has decided that there shall be a program of a certain tyype there is no necessity for the legislative machine to cover the same ground again. The same thing happened last year. The ECA authorization bill was passed on April 2, 1948, after about six months of work on the measure. But Rep. John Taber then chairman of.

the House Appropriations Committee, expressed doubt of the wisdom of the measure. Largely through his efforts the entire matter was debated for the second time. The ECA appropriation bill was not passed until June 20, 1948 about two and months later. Foreign aid bills are not the only ones that have to pass a double array of legislative hurdles, although they have been the most conspicuous. The dual consideration is that the appropriations committees, and particularly their chairmen, acquire more and more power.

Once the House rose in its wrath and cut the appropriations committee down to size. In 1885 the committee chairman had acquired so much authority that he, rather than the speaker, was the man to be consulted if a member wished to get the floor for one of his projects. Any time he chose, he could thrust a privileged appropriation bill upon the floor and block action on any other measure. In that year the House split the appropriations group into eight separate committees. They were not combined into one committee again until 1921, when the Budget and Accounting Act was passed.

It was felt then that there was a need for one committee to deal with appropriations -taking a broad view of all fiscal requirements of the government. Now, many members feel, the balance of power is once again getting into the hands of the men who hold the purse strings, -DEATHS- DANA: In St. Johnsbury, on Sept. 24, Charles F.
