WASHINGTON. April 2 (UP) The house appropriations committee today approved an appropriation bill including new justice department funds to prosecute Nazi, Fascist and communist organizations which have not registered as foreign agencies.
The $212,087,200 bill contained annual funds for the justice, state and commerce departments and the judiciary.
The committee lectured the recipients of the money on such matters as chiseling by padding expense accounts. The committee also upbraided those responsible for the "grossly inexcusable oversight" in not granting adequate authority to the examiner who heard the first Harry Bridges deportation case in 1939.
