JOE THE BOSS
AIDE SLAIN

NEW YORK, May 6 ON.S0.-
Morris Fishbein, Brooklyn gang
ster and one Of the scattered
gang of Joe the Boss" Masseria
which took to cover after Masseria
was recently killed, died today.
He was shot eight times by two
aSsailantS who surprised him while

activities in gangland, police said.
He had been involved in at least
five rackets in Brooklyn, the au.
thOrlties said, including the slot
machine game and the laundry
racket.
The two killers evidently had
been tipped off that the gangster
was to visit at the home of rela-
tives. They met him in the din
ing room of his cousins apart
ment and both opened fire. Leav-
ing FiShbein dying on the floor,
the assassins pitched their pistols
into a hallway as they fled.
Fishbein had been shot at least
three times during his feverish
career. Last October he was met
on the street by two men who
covered him with pistols. He
begged for mercy but they shot
him four times.
Authorities were unable to find
anyone who saw the murder or
witnessed the flight of the two
gunner.

ARMY AND NAVY
FIRST To FEEL.
ECONOMY
Sunday Conference on Rapi-
dan Is First Planned in Dras-
tic Drive to End Deficit
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES

Genuinely concerned over the
billion-dollar Treasury deficit ex
pected to be revealed when the
Government closes its books foI
the fiscal year so days hence
President Hoover has mapped out
a series of departmental confer
ences which he hopes will result
in drastic reductions in govern
mental expenditures.
The general purpose is to make
next years budget the lowest in
years. It will have to be II an
increase in taxes is to be avoided.
Army to Come First
The first Of these conferences
involving the War Department
will be held at the Rapidan fish
ing camp over the weekend. It
will be attended by the ranking
heads of the department, both
civilian and military. The Navy
is to follow, and thereafter it is
planned to take all the depart
ments in turn.
The seriousness of the Govern
ment's financial condition may
possibly interfere with President
Hoover's tentative plans for an
extended visit to the Pacific
Coast this summer. With the
Treasury shy an approximate
billion dollars, heroic measures
are needed if Federal taxes are
maintained at their present levels
Mr.. Hoover is represented as
believing that the Army and the
Navy probably present the best
chances of effecting savings. The
appropriations for these two de
partments represent about 20 per
cent of the present budget, OF
about $500, 100000. The tenta'
tive figures for next year call for
approximately the same amount.
Drastic Change Needed
Army and Navy authorities
privately contend 1t mo material
reduction can be made in these
figureS-unlesS there is a change
in present national defense policy
SO drastic as to be almost revO
luti0nary.
Both services, they contend, are
now at rock bottom" in the
matter of personnel and equip.
ment, and any further economic
ing not only will destroy morale
and the careful planning since
the close of the World War, but
will render the United States in.
capable Of producing a real ma.
tional defense in a time of crisis
Senator Reed (R0 of Peunsyl.
vania, almost invariably a de.
fender of Administration policies,
voiced publicly what the Army
heads say privately-that there
can be no material reduction of
Army expenditures without calam-
1touS results. He said:
"Our army alreaG. J is the lowest
per capita in the world. Our
comparative military costs are
somewhat high, but why? 1t is
because we pay cur soldiers a
decent wage-a dollar a day
while some foreign governments
pay their soldiers a few cents a
day. Frankly, / don't see how
the Army expenditures can be
materially reduced. We are at
rock bottom now"
