DRASTIC REDUCTIONS
IMPOSSIBLE FOR YEAR

WASHINGTON. Jan. 22.-(U. P.--
Drastic tax reductions will be impos-
sible during the first year of the in
coming administration. leading mem
bers of the house believe. The reason
is with the big deficit hanging over the
treasury and appropriations for the
fiscal year beginning in July thus far
reported from the house appropria-
tions committee show an increase over
those Of the present year. The total
appropriations cannot be cut to less
than three billions, republican leader
Mondell and Representative Good.
chairman of the appropriations conf
mittee, agreed. Even should there be
some unexpected economy to take ex-
penditures below this, hope for tax
alton reduction is slight because the
present business depression probably
will decrease tax receipts.
