FARMERS HERE
TASK RELIEF

Approximately 500 farmers, repre-
senting groups in many parts Of
the country, today began a two
day convention in Typographical
Union Hall, the 400 block of G.
st. N. w., during the course Of
which the delegates will petition
their representatives at the Capitol
for a program of relief.

included the following:
"City wOrkerS-we farmers
want your goods. You want
our food. Support our de-
mandS."
Moratorium on taxes and
interest,""
The group in attendance
seemed to be composed almost
entirely of working farmers.
Some were clad in overalls.
They arrived in any way they
could-some in open trucks, and
some riding freight trains.

AS Federal employees and organ

bitter war on the Presidents pro-
posal for an II per cent additional
pay cut, it became apparent that
the attempt to carry out Hoover'S

Administration leaders in the

opinion of the Presidents plan

D. {. BUDGET.
! IS SSLASHED
.. S4,734,352
10 Per Cent Cut in Estimates
Anticipates Economy
! Acts Continuance

The President, in his budget
message to Congress today,
recommended that District ex-
penditures for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1884, be re-
duced to $39,743,270, a slash
of $4,754,352, as compared to
appropriations for the current
year.
Although the reduction is more
than 10 per cent of the 1888
appropriation of $44,497,622, the
greater percentage of the curtail-
ment is predicated on the he
ory that the economy act will
continue in effect and permit
a saving of $2.426,095,
The estimates are made on a
basis of Federal lump sum
contribution of Sits, 900 to Dis
trict revenues obtained from a
tax rate of $1.70 per hundred.
The lump sum estimate was OBJ
tanned by use of the amount
fixed by Congress last session
after long and bitter controversy
between the House, which de-
manded a reduction of the con-
tribution.
S7,775,0OO in '33
The lower branch of Congress
sought a cut to $6,5O0,0OO from
The prevailing sum of $4,000, 900.
The Senate, however, insisted on
a compromise and the amount
was fixed at $7,775,000.
Total estimates forwarded by
the President to Congress include
permanent appropriations, the ex
penditures for fixed items.
These items total $2,947 500 SO
that the appropriation for general
expenditures is estimated at $36,
795, ITO.
Schools and public welfare head
the list in the drastic reduction
column.
The total public school reduc
JlOI1 Is DAs4Oo,AA Ill Vic CoCAAAAo"CCo
leaving the recommended amount
at $10,679, $50 instead of $12,162,
73O. However, in the school ap
preparation as in all others, the
greater percentage in saving is
derived from application of the
economy act. Therefore the &C,
tual reduction in school expendi
lures is estimated at $598,530 and
the savings predicated on contin
uance of the economy act are
$384,580, making combined to
tai of $1,483,110.
Welfare Half Million
Public Welfare estimates are
$4,915,360 as compared with cur
rent expenditures of $5,633, 1853
Of this reduction $247,725 is
under the economy act and $470,'
683 is actual.
The sweeping reduction in Pub
lie Welfare is derived largely
through the elimination Of items
for construction of buildings

EXPE(;TE[
REVENUE
ON BEER
IGNORED
SO, 100000 Request for Dry
Enforcement to Provoke
Bitter Fight
By GEORGE R. HOLMES

A general manufacturers
sales tax of PA per cent on
everything except food was
recommended to Congress to-
day by President Hoover in
transmitting a budget that
calls for expenditures of
$4,218,808,344 during the next
fiscal year.
The President reported the new
budget carries net estimates Of
$5sO;OOO,O00 below those for the
current fiscal year, but even this
enormous reduction, he pointed
out, is insufficient to meet the
still more enormous, deficit, which
is expected to be well over q
billion dollars by June.
New Revenue One-Half Billion
In addition to the "a per cent
sales tax, which he estimated
would produce 1856, 100000 q
year, the President proposed con-
tinuation for another year of the
Federal gasoline tax, which he
calculated would bring in another
$137, ,O00, ,000-amounting to al
most a half-billion in new revenue.
Mr.. Hoover proposed to attain
this $3.50, 100000 reduction in ex-
penditureS in various ways:
Reducing veterans allowances
by $127,0 100000.
Authorizing no new Federal
construction at this time.
Disseminating Federal road
aid to the States.
Reducing all Government :
salaries (civilian) by II per
cent, above the 81 900 class.
Continuing the administrative
economy measures adopted last
session.
Drastic retrenchment in all
departmental and bureau ex-
penditures.
Beer Income Ignored
Significantly, Mr.. Hoover's cal.
culationS took no account of any
possible revenue from legalized
beer.
Neither in his annual message
yesterday nor in his budget mes
sage today did the President men,
ton prohibition or beer, and the
twin omissions lent some credence
to the theory that he would veto
a beer bill if the lame duck ses-
sion passes it. In any event, beer
revenue did not enter the Presi-
dents picture of Federal finances.

COMMISSION URGED
TO BAR TWO STATIONS
Each Had Requested Chief Engi-
neer Yost to Remove
the Other.

In its outspoken determination to
drive astrologers and other soothsayers
off the air and its tacit plans to elimi-
nate undesirable broadcasterS gradually.
the Federal Radio Commission last week
had before it one Of the most unusual
examiners reports ever submitted.
Two Los Angeles stations, bitter local
rivals but forced to share a common
wave length, appeared before Chief Ex-
aminer Ellis A. YoSt last July, each to
demand that the other be taken off
that wave length, so that it might have
full time. The case, as usual in such
cases. developed into contest between
the station officials and their counsel to
show that the one was rendering a
superior service to the other Yost.
however. apparently became disgusted
with both. In the case of KIM, one
of the applicants, he found the record
replete with broadcasts by an astrol-
oyer called zenda. In the case of
KELW, the rival applicant, he found it
mismanaged. off the air periodically.
poorly equipped and in such desperate
financial straits that it sold time for
whatever rates the advertiser was will
ing to pay"
In his recommendation to the COM
mission Yost points out that the bur-
den is upon an applicant station to
prove that its service is superior to the
other and in the public interest. In
the KTM-kELW case, he Said neither
applicant had proved case, and urged
the commission to deny not only their
applications but the license renewals of
both. 1t is the first time in the COM
missions history that a recommended
ton of this kind has been rendered.

RADIO IS CONTINUING
MARCH OF PROGRESS
U. S. Sets Pace for Industry's
March Throughout World.
Considered Phenomenon.

Radios almost reckless march Of
progress that has set it apart as phe-
nomenon among industries, continues
unabated throughout the world, with
the United States setting the pace.
That is the gist of the Commerce
Departments survey of radio markets
and conditions throughout the world,
made public last week in a compre-
hensive volume based on reports from
all over the globe In the entire world
it Is estimated that there are between
80, 900 900 and 5000 900 radio receiving
sets, of which at least one-hah are
said to be within the United States.
And of the worlds population of broad
casting stations, estimated at 1900,
nearly so per cent (6l0 stations) are
reported to be in this country.
Compiled by Lawrence D. Batson,
of the departments electrical equip
ment division, the report is designed
primarily to help American radio manu-
facturers merchandise their commod1-
ties in the export field. which now
represents about $23,000,000 turnover
annually. But it is crammed with in
formation about broadcasting customs
and conditions throughout the world.
and shows significantly how many

SIGNALS TO GAUGE
RADIO ACCURACY
New Station of Standards
Bureau Expected to
Cut Interference.

Radio signals, accurate to the degree
of one in 5000 900, soon will be streak
ing on daily schedule from the new
master station of the Bureau of Stand
ards, to be available to all stations and
to radio minded listeners in calibrat-
ing their equipment for precision oper-
alton.
Avoidance of wave wobble" and con-
seuuent interference for the listener Is
the reason behind this newly expanded
service. Effective october /, the
signals will be sent out from the bu-
reaus new station continuously from
1O am. to II noon, and from pm.
to 10 pm, Eastern standard time, on
Tuesdays. Formerly. less imposing
schedule was maintained.
Marred in Some Areas.
Ultimately, the bureau hopes to pro-
vide 24-hour service on q permanent
basis, and to increase the accuracy Of
its signals to one in 10,000,000, as well
as to boost the power of the standard
frequency station, WWV, so that its
signals may be picked up at points over
the entire world Now, while the
signals may be picked up by most sta
ticns in this country, reception is
marred in some sections.
While the service primarily Is for the
benefit of transmitting stations, listen
ers having a technical knowledge of
radio also can use it. The signal is
transmitted on the short wave channel
of 5000 kilocycles and can only be
picked up on short wave receiver. A
listener, for instance, can tune in his
short wave receiver and check the pre-
cision with which his own broadcast re-
ceiver Is tuning stations. Instructions
on how to use this service have been
published in pamphlet available for
distribution by the bureau.
Interference Reduced.
BY enabling broadcasters to keep in
the center of their ethereal track, in
reference is sharply reduced and the
listener gets improved reception, pro-
vided his own receiver Is efficient SIM
ply by picking up the signals, which
consist principally of series of very
long dssheS, station may check its
frequency, working out its own precise
frequency by simple mathematical
formula.
In announcing the new schedule the
bureau stated it desired to receive re-
ports on the transmission. especially be-
cause radio Transmission phenomena
change with the season of the year
In addition to this. the bureau desires
aid in its studies of static and fading
arch enemies OF good reception.
