$345, 200, 900 Slash Coming

Strength Uncertain.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, December 3.-The German
Reichstag met today for the first time
since last october, listened to the
finance minister's outline Of financial
reforms which will slash the nations
expenditures by $345 ,ooo, coo year. and
adjourned debate on this aL-important
issue until tomorrow at noon.
It was a quiet session mile Herman
Dietrich spoke for an hour about the
drastic measures for economy contained
in Chancellor Bruening's emergency
decree issued yesterday. He told them
what the nation already knows-that
Germany must resolve herself to life
of Spartan simplicity for the next three
years so that she can climb out of debt.
Taxes have been boosted to the very
limit. Dietrich said, and there is no
other way out of the financial woods
except through the most rigid economy.
Government salaries must be slaShed,
administrative appropriations must be
cut to the bone, unwieldy governmental
agencies must be reorganized on a
more efficient basis, and the program of
economy must extend not only through
out the national government, but also
to every state and commune.
Every measure in the budget, which
totals $2,458,010,000, has been so con-
structed as not to conflict with the
constitution, said Dietrich, and he re-
minded a Reichstag which contains an
important refractory element. that its
support of these emergency measures
would have Salutary effect on industry
and finance, making things easier for
German merchants who work in world
markets.

DAVIS AND CAREY DUE
ON D. C. COMMITTEE
Assignments of Senators Not Yet
Settled to Fill Republican
Vacancies.

Although committee assignments of
new Senators have not yet been set
tied, It was indicated this afternoon
that the two Republican vacancies on
the District of Columbia Committee
probably will be filled by Senator's
James J. Davis of Pennsylvania and
Robert D. Carey of Wyoming.
It is possible that the ratio In the
number of Republican and Democratic
members on some of the committees
may be changed somewhat, but it is not
known whether this will apply to the
District Committee.
The two vacancies on the Republican
side of the District Committee result
from the defeat of Senator Robsion,
Republican of Kentucky, and the fact
that Senator Baird, Republican Of New
Jersey, completed his service in the
Senate following the election of Dwight
w. Morrow. Senator Baird was serv-
ing only pending the election.

Chairman Nye Of the Senate Cam
paign Funds Committee said today that
his committee had uncovered expendi-
lures Of $272,312 for the Davis Brown
primary ticket In Pennsylvania over
the $685. ,962 reported to the committee
last May.
Nye read the total Of $64l,274 ex-
penditures in concluding a session Of
his committee to delve further into re-
ports of discrepancies in ths account
ing Of campaign funds spent for the
ticket headed by Senator Davis and
Francis Skunk Brown, gubernatorial
candidate.
No Accounting Made.
A total Of $19,500, he said, represent
ed funds reported by county campaign
treasurers as having been received from
the Davis-Brown committee, headed by
Samuel Vauclain, but for which no ac-
counting had been made by the latter
in its reports either to the secretary Of
state for Pennsylvania or the Nye COM
mittee.
William r. Douglas Of Camp HILL
Pa, secretary to William s. Ware and
organizer for Brown, testified under
questioning that expenditures would
have been as great IN the Pennsylvania
primary if Davis had been of the
ticket. He added the cost probably
would have been the same II Davis had
been the only one on the ticket.
Its just the cost Of conducting an
election machine" he said.
Was Popular Candidate.
Senator Dale of Vermont, Republican
member of the committee, asked if
s500,000 would be fair" start for a
campaign chest in Pennsylvania.
Very fair" Douglas replied.
"How much of that would be allowed
for Davis, assuming that that was the
goal set?" Nye asked.
That's hard matter" Douglas re-
piled, its unfair to charge most to
him. Mr.. Davis was popular can
didate"
Douglas said he was not associated
with Vauclain, but collected funds for
