Board With No Purpose Funded By Walter Br Mears
The Subversive Activities Central Board, called a costly sinecure for political cronies, will likely stay funded for another year as the Senate Appropriations Committee approved 295000 for the five member panel for the year ending June 30. Sen. Proxmire blasted the board as inactive, noting it has not held a hearing in two years and that members collect 500 weekly despite doing nothing, but critics concede pushing funding would risk revival. The panel was approved as part of a 52.2 billion funding package for State, Commerce and Justice agencies, despite ongoing controversy and a prior recommendation to withhold funds.
