estimated government income for this
fiscal year based on the present reve-
nue. law, Is disclosed by the statement
presented to the House Ways and
Means Committee by Secretary Mellon
The total income is estimated now
at S4,217,643,oo0, as against the esti-
mate of S4,547 643, 900 contained in Sec
rotary MELONS letter of last April 80
to Chairman Fordney.
In the same time the estimated ex-

A marked weakening of the effective
ness of the Bolshevik army was indi-
Gated in a statement given out yes
terday by the Russian National Society

statement purported to be a compila-
ton of extremely confidential economic

an agent of the society in London from
an employee of Leonid Krassin's mis-
sion.
According to this statement, large
proportion of the troops on which the
Soviet government depends are of
doubtful loyalty. Of the first contin-
gent of 10000 mercenary troops. the
statement said, 81 per cent are classed
as IN. 81" which means Cannot be

American Aid to Austria
Depends ON Mellon Bill

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.--When Con-
gress has passed the Mellon bill giving
the Executive power to deal with for
eign loans it will be possible for the
State Department to take steps calcu-
lated to aid in the rehabilitation of
Austria, and not until then. it was de-
clared officially to-day. This statement
was made in comment upon reports
from Vienna that a definite answer
from the United States with regard to
postponement of the payment of Aus
trian obligations was essential to the
sterilization OF the economic and finan-
cial situation in Austria.
Austria owes the United States $24-
100000, which was advanced by the
United States Grain Corporation for
relief work. In addition, there are
other claims against Austria growing
out of the war. The contention has
been made that uncertainty as to what
course the United States would pursue
with regard to the collection of these
amounts had impaired the credit of
Austria in European money markets so
that a catastrophe was imminent,

Murphy Leaves for
Country TO Doctor
Tammany Slate
Craig Also Quits City, to Re.
main Away Until List Is
Announced; Meyer Probe
! BOlsters His Chances

Running true to ancient Tammanv
form, Charles f. Murphy, the Tam
many boss, yesterday betook himself
to Good Ground for the week end,
and with him went the Tammany slate
for city, borough and county Offices.
Comptroller Charles l.. Craig also
went to the country, telling his office
associates not to expect him back until
next Tuesday. AS the Tammany lead
ers will meet tomorrow to be told
about the Tammany slate, the Comp
troller's absence from town is due to
obvious reasons.
The gossip around Tammany Hall
and the City Hall is that if the Comp
troller is not renominated, the Meyer
investigating committee will find him
q very entertaining witness. Charles
r. Murphy is keeping this fact in mind
reason for the recurring reports that
Mr.. Craig will be renominated.
The Tamnlany leader is keeping
close mouthed about the choice Of the
organization for President of the
Board of Aldermen. He prefers Henry
Smith, Deputy Comptroller, but Dock
Commissioner Murray Hubert and
Robert l.. Moran, who made the race
two years ago, have claims.
Bronx Demand Insistent
Arthur H. Murphy, Tammany boss of
the Bronx. iss strong for a candidate
from that county on the city ticket
There is no doubt that if the coalition
lists had selected man from the Bronx
as candidate for the Presidency of
the Board of Aldermen, Tammany also
would have taken its candidate from
above the Harlem River. With the des-
iignatlon of Vincent Gilroy, of Manhat-
tan, Charles f. Murphy feels that the
fusion element would have no geo
graphical advantage if he failed to pick
Bronx man for the job, although
there is strong local spirit in the
Bronx and the county has a large vote
rms situation creates a strong suppo-
sltlon that the candidate for President
OF the Board of Aldermen will come
from Manhattan.
