INTERNAL REVENUE
BUDGET SLASHED
Treasury-Post Office Bill Car
ries $50, 1862, 500, $12,154,-
140 Below Estimate.
BY the Associated preas.

BY the Associated Press.
Tax refunds, source of much con-
gressional controversy, are believed by
the House Appropriations Committee to
have passed their peak. In conse-
propriations for the Internal Revenue
Bureau.
The Treasury-Post Office appropria-
ton bill, reported today, carried only
$59, ,962, $50 for the bureau, $104, ,437,-
440 less than allowed for the current
year and $12, ,154, 140 below the budget
estimate. Refunds are to be paid out
of an allotment of $26,000,00 plus
$57, 1885, 900 which, 1t Is estimated, will
be carried over.
A decrease of $437,440 in the cost
of collecting taxes next year will be
made possible, the committee reported,
by reduction in personnel, consequent
to the disposal of many large cases.
Unadjusted tax cases for 1926 and prior
years were reduced by 1871 to 9.811 in
the past year. More than $4,000 cases
are pending before the Board of Tax
Appeals, but the work is now about as
nearly current as it will be possible
to get, it was said.
Internal revenue receipts for the cur
rent fiscal year were estimated at So
813,000,000, against $3,040, ,000, 900 last
year. Receipts from income taxes were
forecast at $2.190, 900, 900. In the next
fiscal year the bureau estimates income
tax payments will reach $2,260 600, 600,
increasing total receipts to 1885,
600, 900.

Daughter.

BY the Associated Press

prove its charge that his wife, Pearl,
murdered his 10-ysar-old daughter,

the effects of ground glass in his food,
took an active part in investigating the

Two new offshoots of the Government
enforcement tree-the Industrial Alco-
hol and Narcotics Bureaus-will get
half a million more with which to
function next fiscal year than when
they were merely Sprouting on the
prohibition limb.
To the continued growth of the alco-

compared with $4,338,740 last year: to
narcotics, 81 1,708, ,528, against $1,66l ,26O
Before the committee approved these
sums, 1t heard testimony from the heads
of each branch reciting accomplish
ments and aims.
Alcohol Production Drops.
DR.. James M. Doran, industrial alco-
hol commissioner, said while alcohol
production had dropped 1914 per cent,
principally because of the business de-
prsssion, the number of legal units
handling the regulated product had
decreased but little. His bureau super
vises about $4,000 permittees who buy,
SELL use or manufacture alcohol legally.
illegal conversion of alcohol, he said,
has decreased. There has, though, been
q proportional increase in the quantity
of illicit liquor made from raw mate
rials."
For the Narcotic Bureau, Commis-
sioner Harry j. Anslinger saw busy
future. He spied bulky difficulty In
the lack of assistance from States
which have no enforcement laws.
Turkey Tops List.
Most of the illegal importation, he
said, is from Turkey, and not China.
About TOO pounds of forbidden deriva-
tiyes were exported from the Land of
the Crescent to the United States last
February.
Despite the influx of smuggled'
opiaues, Anslinger saw encouragement
in the results of work by Federal agents.
Because of that work, he said, an ounce
of narcotics now costs the addict an
average of $500.
Since July i the bureau has ssized
between 5000 and 5000 ounces OF
morphine. Informers last year got
$94 ,282 for expenses and $31,748 as
rewards, while it cost $123,240 to buy
evidence for prosecutions. Both bu--
reau heads said they intended to spend
$4,000 next year in educational work.
