Shrinking in Income Tax Returns Means One
 of Two Moves

WASHINGTON, D. O., March 23. Treasury officials give warning that the Government income this year will be found wanting, owing to the decrease in the income taxes.

 One calls for a reduction in the rate of retirement of the public debt. President Hoover has said: "The Administration is opposed to encroachment of the statutory pro- visions for retirement of the public debt"
 The other course was indicated by the President in his last mes- sage to Congress when he warned that the most rigid economy is necessary to avoid an increase in taxes"
