ACE BUDGET GAP
OF s2(0,0)Q,0DO.
House Leaders Claim Slash
in U. S. Expenditures Will
Make Up Balance.

BY the Associated Press.
Standing out conspicuously today in
the whole question of balancing the
Federal budget was the necessity of
bridging a gap of approximately $780,.
100000 between the expected deficit
for 1888 and the billion dollar tax bill
just passed by the House.
The insistence of Secretary of the
Treasury Mills that only Government
reorganization and definite suspension
of the least essential activities now re-
quired by law can save this sum has
brought the matter to a definite head.
A solution may be indicated during this
week.
Plan to Cut Expenditures.
The Democratic leaders of the House,
embarked upon their own program of
economy, claim they will bridge the
gap by reducing Government expendi-
lures. Their Special Economy Com
mittee is engaged with a proposal to
cut Government salaries by some $135,-
100000 or more, and is considering
legislation to combine a few Govern
ment activities.
The reduction of appropriation bills
below budget estimates is continuing in
the House Appropriations Committee
while the Senate's committee today
takes up the question of executing the
Senate request for fiat 10 per cent cut
in all the departmental bills presented
to it. Chairman Jones, however, was
doubtful that more than 100000 900
could be saved this way, while Mills
argues most of this type of saving is
merely postponement and will balance
the budget only on paper.
Senate TO Take Up Bill.
Tied up in the question is the fate of
the tax bill in the Senate. In couple
of days hearings will get under way in
the Finance Committee and represent
ativeS of the industries and lines of
business taxed under the House bill are
reaching the city by every train, ready
to put up the fight of their lives.
But the bill has been received favor
ably and Senate leaders so far are
firmly behind the House measure. Sec
retary Mills statement that the bill
contains defects and determinations is
expected to be amplif1ed and accom-
panied by his ideas for corrections when
hearings open Wednesday. 1t may re-
suit in elimination of some taxes now
included.

NEW TRUCK LEVY
ARRESTS TO START
Maryland Motor Vehicle Head
Orders Police to Cheek on
Compliance.

Maryland authorities today were pre-
pared to go ahead with their plans TO
arrest the drivers Of intercity motor
trucks that have not complied with the
common carrier tax law
Col. E. Austin Baughman, commits
sloner of motor vehicles, announced in
Baltimore this morning that the ar
rests would be made, and this order
was to be executed by State police.
Respite Is Reported.
Through agreement with the Mary
land authorities, however, it was said
by Jerome Fanciulli, secretary of the
Commercial Motor Vehicle Owners
Association of the District, several
truck operators in the District. Vir-
gln1a and North Carolina, for whom he
Is the spokesman, we're to get a tenn
porary respite from the order. and he
understood a similar arrangement had
been worked out by some MARYLAND
and Pennsylvania trucking concerns.
Some operators in the two latter
States already have obtained temporary
lnJunctlons, and these are 70 come up
for nearing on April IS.
Others to Seek Orders.
A group of other operators have an
nounced their intention of seeking re-
straining orders, and the names of
these have been filed in Col. Baugh-
mans Office. They are to be given
time to take action before their trucks
are interfered with, according to Fan
ciulli.
In the meantime, an effort is being
MADE to adjust the situation through
Gov. Ritchie, thus avoiding litigation.
The truckmen contend that the COM
mon carrier tax of one-fifth of a cent
per ton mile cannot legally be applied
to the anywhere-for-hirec carriers

S[EMP SEES ONLY
FIVE STATES LOST
Retiring G. O. P. Committee
man Disputes Democratic
Claims of Is.

C. Bascum Slemp, retiring Republi-
can national committeeman from Vir-
ginia, today conceded only five States
all in the South-to the Democrats in
the presidential election.
The former secretary to President
Coolidge made this informal statement
today in commenting on claims by nine
nationally prominent Democrats that
their party had sure, excellent and
fair" prospects for victory in November
in all but four States-Californi
Michigan, Pennsylvania and Vermont
with these four least probable, but
possible"
The Democrats forecast certain vic
tory in IS States. including the solid
South where four States bolted to the
Republican column in 1928.
Five Conceded States.
Slemp would not go into details, but
said he would give" the Democrats
only South Carolina. Georgia. Louisiana,
Mississippi and Arkansas. indicating he
held out hopes in varying degrees in
the remainder of the South as well as
the rest of the country.
He declined to comment upon States
in which he believed Republican VIC
tories sure, saying, 1T is too early for
either the Republicans or Democrats to
be making any detailed predictions"
In a call for campaign funds, dis
tributed to more than 100000 Demo-
cr2ts in the form of Victory grams, y
the Democratic National Committee in
the ST 100000 Embarrassing drive asks
for contributions up to the giver's limit
to insure success i'll November.
Excellent Prospects"
Besides the IS claimed as a certainty,
18 States are counted as excellent
prospects" IL rate fair prospects" and
the last are put down as least prob
able, but possible"
The least probable, but possible" are
California, Michigan, Pennsylvania and
Vermont. The IS definitely claimed are
the solid South" States, Maryland,
Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona.
Eight of these States went Republican
in 1928.

The excellent prospect States are

W|[KERSON CASE
REPORT AWAITED
Sensational Disclosures on
Capone Expected to In
fIuence Nomination.

The astonishing narrative given the
Senate judiciary Committee by the
man who prosecuted AL Capone and
revealed the gang leaders undercover
methods may have a decisive effect
upon the nomination of Judge James
H Wilkerson of Chicago to the Cir
cult Court. 1t was believed today IN
Senate circles.
Other ramifcations with q view to
breaking gangland's power are being
discussed by members Of the committee
who are carefully examining the record
spread before them by District Attor-
ney George E. Johnson Of Chicago.
Judge Wilkerson, in connection with
whose nomination johnson was sum-
moned sentenced Capone to IL years in
the penitentiary. In so doing, he over
threw an agreement by johnson. upon
which the prosecutor said he consulted
Attorney General Mitchell to recon-
mend 2l2-year term If Capone would
plead guilty.
Endorsed BY Hoover.
President Hoover nominated wilker-
son as an Endorsement of his yigor.
Since, however, strong opposition to
the nominee has arisen from organized
labor because Of past decisions of the
nrist 1t has been met by support to
Wilkerson by Chicago anti-crime work
ers, some of whom have charged that
even this opposition was inspired by
Capone in his attempt to control Chi
cago public offices.
Hearings on the nomination were
drawing to close when it was decided
to call Johnson The subcommittee
considering the nomination is expected
to decide soon upon its report with the
attitude of Chairman Borah one of the
deciding factors. He has given no in
dication yet Of his attitude
Johnson's inside story of the Gov
ernments long battle to put Capone and
his gang in jail held those who heard
his testimony fascinated
He said the unbelievable arrogance
of Capone in making the terms of the
agreement public, after Wilkerson had
first approved 1t, led to the upset.
Amazing Disclosures.
Most amazing was the prosecutors
description of intimidation of wit
nesses and of the profits reaped by the
gangsters.
Already well informed on organized
crime as a result of hearings on anti
kidnapping bills, the Senators were told
of one case where a man appeared be-
fore a grand jury in the morning and
was slain that night, and another where
of 81 men In a conspiracy case, six
were murdered before the case went to
trial and eight of their associates, in
cluding some witnesses, were killed.

NEW YORK IS QUIET
ON EVE OF PRIMARY
Rival States Of Delegates
Are Entered in Only
One District.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y. April New York
names its delegates to the Democratic
and Republican national conventions
this week, but with the exception OF
local Democratic fight in one cor
ner of the State, no one would know
that Tuesday is primary day.
In only one district, the forty-first
(Buffalo), are there rival states of dele
gates. One two-some is ayowedly for
former Gov Smith for the presiden-
tial nomination, while the other pair
openly is favoring uninstruction, but
is said to be friendly to Gov. Roose-
velt,s candidacy for the nomination.
Republicans for Hoover.
The Republican delegation will be
favorable to President Hoover New
York will have 81 votes in the G. o. P.
convention.
1t has been generally understood that
Tammany, reticent about the Roose-
welt and Smith candidates., would seek
to control New York's Democratic con-
vention votes through the unit rule.
The Democratic delegation will be un-
pledged With few exceptions the up
State delegates are Roosevelt men.
Some political commentators have ex-
pressed a doubt that Tammany will
have enough votes to command a ma
jority at the delegation caucus on the
eve of the Chicago convention. The
State will have "a votes, of which eight
will be cast by delegates-at-large.
State Convention Later.
The delegates at large will be named
at a State convention in Albany about
the middle of the month 1t Is posi-
BILE that both Roosevelt and Smith will
be delegates Large, although neither
has committed himself to that action.
1t is believed if Smith, as titular head
of the party, goes on the delegation,
Roosevelt also will accept a place.
