The principal item. of course. is for the Maritime Commission. which takes all the contract authorization to which I have just referred and $4.000.000.000 but of the $4.125.000.000 of appropriations. Outside of the Maritime Commission. there is only about $125.000.000 of appropriations. which reflects a decrease of $13.900.000. or 10 percent. as compared with the Budget estimates. The principal items outside of the Maritime Commission are $40.000.000 for the Public Roads Administration for ac.cess roads. $10.000.000 for the Office of Education for training programs. $31.000.000 for the Treasury Department. largely for expenses of loans and the Bureauof Internal Revenue. $7.500.000 for the Department of Justice. largely for the Immigration and Naturalization Service. $6.800.000 for judgments and claims. $5.500.000 for the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics. $4.700.000 for the Department of Agriculture largely for forest fires and insect control. and $3.250.000 for the War Labor Board. with particular reference to wage stabilization.
