    EIGHT N E W O F F IC E R S E L E C T E D B Y F I S C A L O F F IC E R S A S S O C I A T I O N T h e County Fiscal Officers Association held an all-day annual m eeting in R en o o n A p r il 27. T h is association includes the auditors and treasurers from each county and is designed to secure greater cooperation and interchange o f ideas. M iss B elle B oyd, W a s h o e County Recorder, has been President o f the organization since it w as form ed last year. N e w officers elected fo r the ensuing year are: Presi­dent, Bertha M an h ire, Esm eralda County A u d ito r; V ice- President, Peter M e ria ld o , Eureka County A u d ito r; Second Vice-President, J. B . Cunningham , W a sh o e County Treas­u re r; Secretary, M rs. Charlotte Sanford, Churchill County A u d it o r ; Treasurer, C. H . Sloan, C lark County Treasurer. Sixteen counties w ere represented at the R en o meeting, both Storey C ounty representatives bein g unable to attend because they d id not have deputies to leave in charge o f their offices. N e x t year’s m eeting w ill in all probability be h eld in Las V egas. C O N G R E S S I O N A L H I G H L I G H T S W h e th e r all m ajor appropriation bills w ill be enacted p rio r to the end o f the current fiscal year, June 30th, is debatable. O n ly one has already been, one is in conference, five are in H ou se Committee.— A n ew tax b ill fo r July is im probable. Present consideration o f the H ou se W a y s and M ean s Committee is lim ited to Social Security. Incom e o f tax-exem pt organizations is next on the schedule.— T h e T y d - in gs resolution (S . J. R . 8 ), p ro v id in g fo r debt limitation, is n o w in Senate A pp ro p riatio n s Subcommittee, the B yrd b ill (S . 1760), to reduce statutory debt lim it to $275,000,- 000,000 is in Senate Finance Committee, and the K nutson b ill ( H . R . 5886), also lim iting debt, is in H ou se W a y s and M ean s Committee.— ‘T h e all-im portant O rganization o f Congress plan proposed by the Joint Committee o f the O rgan ization o f Congress w ill soon appear in the fo rm .................................. — o f a bill. O n ly tremendous pressure by taxpayer organiza­tion and other citizen grou ps believin g in efficiency in g o v ­ernment can force the passage o f this measure this year.— H o u sin g legislation remains in status quo. Inter-H ouse conferees have not agreed on the $600,000,000 subsidy. Both the Patm an and the W a g n e r-E lle n d e r-T a ft bills have passed the Senate. T h e Patm an b ill w as house-introduced but am ended in the Senate to include most o f the W y a tt program .— Federal aid fo r education appears forestalled again this year. T h e perm anent school lunch p rogram is in conference.ffi-Final result o f price controls and subsidies legislation is in doubt. T h e H ou se did extend the present A c t fo r nine m onths and, as amended, provides fo r im m edi­ate reduction o f subsidies and their termination by D ecem ­ber 31, 1946. T h e Senate, in accordance w ith administra­tion ^request, extends the A c t fo r a fu ll year.— Consideration still continues in the Senate on the proposed British loan. A ction, how ever, appears p robable in the near fture.
