...decided they want to spend for the same purposes. If this is true . . . why does the President object to Congress earmarking the money and insist on reserving to himself the right to earmark it?" Another shot was added by Mr. Snell's New York colleague John Taber: "This bill was full of pork when it came out of the White House. It was full of pork when it came out of the committee, and it is full of pork...
These shots might as well have been saved, for the House was assembled this time to pass the bill that the Administration wanted and it voted overwhelmingly to stay in session until it did so. Taking the usual 40 minutes for each roll call, the House went doggedly on into the night before a crowded gallery.* With roll call after roll call, the earmarking amendments were knocked out one by one until, when the final vote was taken, not even the amendment to reduce Administrator Hopkins' salary remained...

In both meetings, held simultaneously...
...Bill of Particulars. Mr. Morgenthau listed eight kinds of tax-dodging, all of which he classed as "moral fraud": 1) setting up personal holding companies in the Bahamas, Panama, Newfoundland and other places from which tax money cannot be extradited; 2) buying one-payment life insurance (from a Bahama company), borrowing back the "payment" and claiming tax deductions for interest paid on the loan;* 3) establishing personal holding companies in the U.
