Budget Bureau Reported
Ready to Advocate Boost
to Meet Living Cost.
RESTORATION IN FULL
CIV JULY ! POSSIBLE
White House Anxious to Provide
Relief for Federal
Personnel.
The Bureau of the Budget is prepared

The Bureau of the Budget is prepared
to recommend to President Roosevelt
that half of the Government pay cut
tx per cent-be lifted January l. and
that the scale be restored to its for
mer level July ! next, provided condi-
lions at that time warrant, it was
learned today from an authoritative
source.
Budget officials, while said to oppose
restoration of the full Is per cent now,
are represented as believing that the
upward trend in living costs will justify
halfway relief at the end of the year,
which is the earliest date at which the
cut may be lifted.
Todays development followed close
on information from the White House,
Tuesday, that President Roosevelt hoped
to take some action toward restoring
the Government pay to its former level.
and with that emo in view was having
studies made preparatory to fixing q
new index figure, which, according to
law, is the basis on which pay is
lowered or raised.
Information Given Green.
This information was given William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, who, with members
of his executive council, called at the
White House to urge relief for the Gov
eminent workers, in the face of rising
living costs, and in conformity with the
program that is being urged by the
Government on private industry, under
the national recovery act.
Since the White House announce
ment, there have been indications that
there was some doubt generally as to
how soon a pay restoration might be
put into effect. but. as it has beer
pointed out, the law provides TO-
changes only at six-month periods, an.
consequently, the present basis mus,
be retained until December 81.
In having the study made OF tn
index figure on which the cut Wa
based, President Roosevelt met com
plants from the workers that the fig
ure at present used does not accurately
reflect costs, inasmuch as sufficient
weight is not accorded to some fixed
charges.
Deficiency Fund Needed.
In event half of the pay is restored
the first of the year it will be necessary
for Congress to pass deficiency appro-
priations to care for the increased
expenditure.
In the case of the District govern
ment and independent Offices it will
mean a 10 per cent boost, inasmuch
as these appropriations were made after
March and were on the basis of the
full Is per cent figure fixed by the new
administration.
For the departments the deficiency
would be only fractional, inasmuch as
their appropriations originally were
voted on the basis of an BIS cut, which
was the same that prevailed last year,
and the new economy measure simply
tackled another 62s per cent reduction
on and provided that this money should
be impounded.

ROOSEVELT TAKES
HAND IN CAMPAIGN
TO OPEN NEW Jobs
Speeds Up Credit Expansion
and Gives Attention to
Low Farm Prices.
BY the Associated Press

President Roosevelt today impaired
to his national recovery drive the Wig
orous pressure of his own determination
to proviue quickly more jobs and better
prices.
Ample credit for business and agri-
culture by seeking Immediately the re-
opening of banks now closed or re-
stricted was a major objective of the
Chief Executive as he looked especially
toward sluggish farm prices.
Somewhat impatiently he looked for
ward to an agreement between soft
coal operators and miners on the long
disputed N. R. A. code for this basic
industry.
Eagerly, too, the President awaited
receipt of an agreement between the
N r. A. Labor and Industrial Advis-
DRY Boards, which is intended to mod
crate. if not finally settle, conflicts over
the collective bargaining provisions OF
the recovery law.
Sure of Banks Help.

Hugh S. johnson, industrial admin
strator, Mr. Roosevelt was expected TO
proffer such force as his aides deem
necessary for faster coordination ano
stimulation of Federal recovery efforts
In this higher geared program for
lifting economic levels, particularly IN
the way of restoring commodity prices
the President was represented as con-
fident that the banks. with Government
backing, would supply much OF the
credit needed.
He speeded up his credit expansion
program in conference with Jesse Jones,
chairman of the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation, who said he would
have something to announce later IN
the day.
Jones said the administration was
irving to work out something in the
way of loans on pay rolls.
Will Aid Solvent Banks.
The President already has ordered the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation to
give any assistance required to solvent
banks, if help is needed in reinforcing
their capital structures.
With the full support of the Govern
ment the President is determined that
the banks shall push out the credit
needed to tide over N. R. "A. members

employment and higher wages.

repeatedly in recent days by Southern
leaders. But receiving attention IN Of
