TREASURY WIRES
 FOR TAX TOTALS
Asks Collectors to Rush Figures
 to Washington

Washington, March 17 P(-The treasury today wired number of the larger income tax collection of- fees in various parts of the county to report by telegraph estimates of the March 15 returns in their re- spective areas.
 In this way officials believed that by nghtfall 9 preliminary estimate would be ready for Secretary Mellon and President Hoover of the amount Of money Uncle Sam had received on his first big pay day for the calendar year 1930.'
 Figures Already Added
 This morning adding machines and pencils were being used with dispatch in the offices Of the inter nal revenue bureau but it was inn possible to figure just how much money had been received.
 Up to the close of business on March 14, the last day for which complete figures are available, the treasury had collected a total ,,t S49,35S99S since the first of the month from income tax payments.
 During the same period last year the collections amounted to $56,- SO4350 This however, was not taken to indicate much. since during the year before. 1928, the collections were SS,000,O00 above the 1929 re- ceipts, but when complete the 1929 receipts exceeded those of 1928.
 The treasury has estimated that the total of the payments made last Saturday should approximate $559,- 100000. The collections last March were $601, 100000, but since that time congress has authorized one per cent cut in the normal income rate.
 stock Situation Uncertain Treasury officials have been un- able to tell what effect the stock market collapse of last fall will haze upon the returns. They were as much in the dark on this today ;ts they have been, as the only accur- ate answer will be found when tha ! payments are totaled.
 | In order to keep expenditures in | line with budget estimates, Preoi- i dent Hoover at a recent White | House breakfast conference called { upon congressional leaders to a0- 1 ply the brakes on all expenditur a= not recommended by the budget. Al ! that time bills proposing an outlay Of more than a billion dollars in ex- 1 cess Of budget figures were pending ! ir the house and senate.
 The congressional leaders assur- | ed the chief executive that most ot 1 these measures would be tucked away on committee shelves to gath CT dust and some democratic merr- bers took occasion to denounce the president. saying that congress had gone beyond the budget in cutting down expenditures and that the bilis he had referred to as pending prob- ably never had chance of being l passed.
