 While the deficit for the current
 fiscal year was estimated in the budget at sI89,000,000. MT. Hoover said it will probably be necessary tor congress 10 appropriate addi- tional money for this fiscal year 10 increase employment and provide drought relief which will increase the deficit above this amount.
 T do not look with great concern upon this moderate deficit for the current fiscal year. the president said. In fact it amounts to less than per cent of the total govern laent expenditures. The adverse bal
 ance can be met by reducing the 1 general fund balance from the amount in 1t at the beginning Of the year, supplemented, if necessary, f by temporary borrowing by the , trea surr.

 This was an increase of $5,o0Q,00o over the outlay for domestic airmail during the current year.

 Mrs. Parsons was present and the mayors tribute was greeted with applause. The people of New Brit ain on the whole are doing splendid work, he said. displaying a fine spirit of cooperation.
 Volunteering to answer any ques- tions about the relief fund, the mayor observed that he understood he might be asked something about the Northend school project. but he did not believe that matter was con- nected with the subject at hand.

 A total of S19,500, he said, repre- scented funds reported by county campaign treasurers as having been received from the Davis-Br committee headed by Samuel Fau- clain, but for which no accounting had been made by the latter in re- ports either to the secretary of state for Pennsylvania or the N\e com mittee.
 Says No Report Made
 Nye also read from records show ing more than a5 county campaign treasurers had made no reports of campaign expenses. He pointed out, however, that under the state lay they are not required to report unless $50 or more was spent.

vote came and voted to seat Davis. The vote apparently left several bruises which will last for some time.
 Senator Walsh. democrat, Mon- tana, told the United Press the vote did not mean the senate had ap- proved large expenditures provided there were no charges of corruption. He said the lack of corruption charges distinguished Davis case from that of Ware and Smith. He added Davis had a comparatively easy time in Pennsylvania and it was not fair to attribute the bulk of the 1 spending to his candidacy. With respect to Truman Newberry of ! Michigan, who finally resigned from the senate, Walsh said the s195, GOO i which figured in that case all had been spent for one man.
 Senator Norris Displcascd
 Senator Norris, republican, Ne
 3raska, was displeased.
 "I don't think,' he said, there was any reason for seating Davis imme ediately. The committee just wanted to wait until it could con- sider all the facts. The country may draw the conclusion the senate has reversed itself regarding these large expenditures and will seat anyone regardless of money spent. But 1 don't think that conclusion is right. The vote merely was to refuse 10 wait for the committees report. The committee still can report and the senate could pass a resolution de- claring the seat vacant" Senator Shipstead, who once pro- posed that expenditures be more
 strictly limited, told the United
 Press:
 "1 don't think that vote ends the
 matter. His title to the seat won't
 be settled until the committee re-
 ports. If no one else will propose 8
 stricter limit on expenditures, l
 would be glad to do it."
