SWEEPING RISE IN FEDERAL
REVENUES BRINGS COUNTRY
NEARER BALANCED BUDGET
Trammels Charges of Collision on Bids for Building

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. (UF

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. (UP).
The federal government made
rapid progress toward a balanced
budget in July, the first month OF
the new fiscal year, treasury fig
ures showed today. Revenues
were almost doubled that of July
last year.
The increased income, couplen
with the reduction of nearly 5o
per cent in expenses held the deh-
cit for the first 81 days OF the
new fiscal year to $107, 751, l4u:,
compared with the deficit OF
SAP, 964,26O in July of last year.
The total income of the govern
ment in July was $163,2l3'oll'
compared with $87,764,2O7 IN the
corresponding month last year.
The boost in internal reVenue
collections is because OF rising
beer taxes, together with manu-
facturers' excise taxes now 1ully
in effect and which were lnaugu-
rated a year ago. The genera III
provement in business condltlChS
accounted for the sweeping rASe
in revenues, f.a.. =. So. -'.'

Another Quarter Million Come Under MIRA.
GOVERNMENT PREPARES FOR
DEFENSE OF RECOVERY ACT
i! BEFORE COURT IN CHICAGO
Point Raised as to U. S.
Licensing Powers in
Chicago Agreement

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2. (UP)
A "war council" last night be-
gan preparation of the govern
ment's defense of it's recovery pro-
gram.
To meet the first challenge to
administration authority over
prices and trade practices, legal
representatives of the farm relief
administration and the justice de-
partment poured over briefs and
material that will be used as
weapons.
The Independent milk dealers
association of Northen Illinois has
defied the government to invoke
licensing provisions of the farm
relief act. 1t declares it intends to
conduct its business without in
reference from Washington and
has petitioned in court for an in
junction against the government.
The issue at point is whether
the farm administrators have a
right to exercise the licensing pro-
visions in the Chicago milk agree
ment. These provisions are the
"teeth" of the agreement.
1t was indicated that counsel
for the government would contend
that Judge James H. Wilkerson-
in whose court the injunction is
sought-has no jurisdiction over
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace.
The license regulations, it was
said, would cover all cases in vio-
lation of the Chicago agreement.
Therefore, officials added the line
of attack decided upon at last
nights conference probably will
govern procedure in any future
court tits between the admins
tration and recalcitrants.
1t was understood that a Ii
cense commissioner for the Chi
cago area probably would be NAM
ed within a few days but that the
presence Of this individual in Chi
cago was not necessary to the eff
fectiveness of the agreement.

ANDERS NAMED WILL ORGANIZE
PRINCIPAL AT DRY FORCES IN
v. BUNCOMBE!COUNTY SOON
To Lay Plans Saturday
for Campaign to Precede
Repeal Election

Prohibitionist Of Henderson
county will hold a meeting at the
court house next Saturday morn
ing beginning at eleven o'clock,
for the purpose Of setting up an
organization to conduct the cam
paign preceding the November
election on repeal of the 18th
Amendment. A regular county or
ganization is planned, with every
precinct in the county organized.
All prohibitionists of the county
are invited and urged to attend
the meeting, by the leaders who
are sponsoring the movement. M.
R. Milford of Naples, one of the
state workers for the United Dry
Forces. will attend the meeting as
the representative of the North
Carolina prohibition organization.
The county organization, however,
as announced by the prohibition
leaders, will be strictly county
organization, having merely a CO.
operating connection with the
state prohibition organization.
At the Saturday meeting Off
GERS of the county organization
will be elected and, in so far as
possible, precinct organizations
will be nerfected. 1t is probable,
also that the meeting will select
a man to go on the ticket as the
Henderson county "dry" candi-
date for delegate to the State con-
vention, if a convention is author
lied in the election.

.ICKES SPENDS
OVER BILLION
FOR RECOVERY
Results of Vast Outlay To
Be Quickly Felt Over
Nation, He Says
is BIGGEST KNOWN
PEACE-TIME PROGRAM
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press Staff Correspondent

OnlteQ EreSS OtdH Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. (UP).
In less than month at the head
of the biggest peace-time sper
ing job in history, Secretary of
Interior Ickes as public works ad-
ministrator has passed the ST.
900, 100000 mark in his campaign
to put men back to work.
Working with almost unprece-
denied speed and in defiance of
the red tape which additionally.
slows down federal machinery,
Ickes has made arrangements to
spend almost one-third of the 3d.
800, 100000 authorized for public
works in the National Industrial
Recovery Act last June. He be-
gan his job as public works ad-
ministrator July 8.
Since that time he has approved
public works to a total sum equal
to an expenditure at the rate of
one dollar a minute since the
birth of Christ.
Roughly these expenditures will
go for the following:
$4,00O,0O0, 000-roads.
$238,OO0, 000-naval construc-
ton.
O,O0O-roads and trails
in national forests and Indian res
ervatioRS.
O,OOO,OOO-civilian conserva-
ton corps.
500, 100000 - Grand Coulee
dam in Washington state.
$22,7O0,00O - Casper-Alcova
dam in Wyoming.
$11, ,O0O-9-foot channel in
upper Mississippi.
$25, ,O00-fnancing of sub
sistence homesteads.
SIG, O0O,O0O-forest service.
-' Secretary Ickes has driven for
two objects, first to approve prof.
ects which could be started at
once and which would involve a
relatively large amount of human
labor; second, to keep politics and
1aVOrlIlSnl OuI VI CllS NdSN hIo
chinery. He has laid down the
rule that projects must have def
note public or social value to be
considered and that there is no
inside track by which fixers may
tap the huge federal till. His OBJ
ject is unemployment of labor as
quickly as possible.
Just before he became admin
istrator Ickes clashed with Budget
Director Douglas who held that
business was recovering and that
the huge public works program
need not be carried out in full.
The battle was carried to Presi-
dent Roosevelt. His answer was
to announce that the full $780,
100000 would be spent and that
Ickes would be placed in charge
of the job.
At least two of the projects are
of far reaching economic signifi-
canoe. The Grand Coulee dam is
