Deficit of S6OO,OOO
Reported in Virginia

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. II.
Governor Pollard's balanced bud
get claims to the contrary not
withstanding, the State govern
ment closed it's books on June 80,
the end of the fiscal year, with a
cash deficit of more than $500, 900,
it has been learned.
Inasmuch as the State began
the bienniaum with cash surplus
Of $3.50, 600, the deficit indicates
that, despite legislative and exeCu-
tive reductions in salaries and
other appropriations, the central
government actually spent about
$l,1O0,0O0 more than it collected
during the fiscal year 1928.

Major DalrympIe Charges
Aides Double Crossed Him

Charges that his associates
"double crossed" him and made
him the victim of "multifarious
acts Of disloyalty" were made
yesterday by A. V. Dalrymple as
he left his post as director Of
the Prohibition Bureau.
Dalrymple's position was ter
minated by the Presidents execu-
tive order placing the prohibition
unit under the division Of in
vestigation in the Department OF
Justice.
The retiring director charged
some of his associates with "du-
plicity, double-crossing and double
dealing" and demanded that they
be removed from the service.
His charges were directed
against a member Of the service,
who, under Dalrymple's name,
the other day dispatched tele-
grams to 1900 employees Of the
bureau, notifying them Of their
separation from the service.
Dalrymple said he knew nothing
Of the kilograms. Only 900 were
dismissed.

Slaughter of Million Sows
Urged to Cut Pig Crop

Those officials of the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Administra-
ton who have read "Pigs Is Pigs"
will realize what a Solomon's task
has been presented to them in the
latest request of the Corn-Hogs
Producers Association.
In short, the corn and hog pro-
ducers have asked for pig birth
control. Pigs is pigs, they say,
and the present problem is not
unlike the famous one described
in the book, in which a crate of
guineapigs shipped by rail quickly
multiplied into a whole trainload.
Now, say the Corn-Hogs Pro-
ducers, there are 100000 big
sows-expectant mothers this fall
which should be killed off to
prevent 100000 more pigs COM
ing into the world.

REAL ECONOMY.
D. c. TAX BODY
DEMANDS
E. C. BaItz, Head Of Local
Organization, Writes to
D. C. Commissioners

A demand for real" economy in
the District government is con-
tained in an open letter sent to-
day to the District Commissioners
by E. C. Baltz, chairman of the
Washington Taxpayers Associa-
ton.
The letter, pointing out that
while Washington's population
increased only 6 per cent between
1925 and 1888, the municipal ex-
penses jumped 25 per cent, as
serts that the factors which per.
mitted lowering the tax rate this
year are temporary. When con-
ditionS change, the taxpayers
group argues, taxes again will
rise.
Baltz wrote:
eve urge that the Commits
SiOnerS make every efforL to see
that real economy is secured in
the operation and maintenance
costs of the government. This
association stands ready to sup
port the Commissioners in such
efforts.
"By real economies is meant
those which do not impair the
necessary functioning of the
District government. UnfOrtu-
nately, necessity has forced the
District officials, for which they
cannot be blamed, to effect
savings which are more appar-
ent than real, such as allowing
equipment to wear out, closing
the highway testing laboratory,
making various inspectors walk
instead of ride, ETC."

WEEKLY AWARD
On DEATH TIP

An out-of-town newstipper
flashed The washington Times
first information of the news
that shocked the nation-the sud-
den death of Senator Thomas j.
Walsh, of Montana, and thereby
won the first award in the Times
weekly news-tips contest.
Second prize went for informa-
ton of the beating of a sentry,
on guard at the Bellevue Maya
zine munitions plant, just beyond
Anacostia.
A tip on the runaway from the
White House of "Weegie," one of
the Hoover canine pets merited
another award, while still another
went for information concerning
the death of Calvin T. Milans,
prominent local attorney.
Another alert person picked up
the news that General Ansell was
going to accept the dare hurled
by Senator Huey P. Long and sue
him for half million dollars. The
general did and the Upper mer-
tied a prize. A tip on a crash at
Eighth and H. SITS. N. E., in
which two policemen were in
jured also brought it's reward.

Several cases, however, were
continued by Judge Ralph I.
Given in Police Court when de-
PENDANTS said they had no ready
cash and their money was tied
up in banks. These cases were
continued until after the banks
have opened.
All judges in the various
courts said they would be as
lenient as possible in minor
cases where fines were to be
imposed, as long as the banks
remain closed.

OFFICIALS PLAN
D. {. BILL MEET

House and Senate leaders and
municipal officials are likely to
confer today to determine what
action they will take to obtain
passage of the District supply bill
for 1884 at the special session OF
Congress.
It is probable that the bill
which originally passed the House
and was sent to the Senate to be
increased and finally killed in the
closing hours of the session by
Representative Thomas L. Blan-
ton CD of Texas, will be rein
troduced.
Blanton killed the recent meas
ure because of the Senate's
increase to $9,500,O0O of the
Federal lump sum contribution
which the House had fixed at
$6,5O0,OO0. He refused to accept
a compromise.
The Senate, however, is ex-
pected to continue its demand
for an increase.

N CARL BACKS
MASTER'SC GUT

Contracts for the payment of
Federal officers and employees
are dependent on congressional
appropriations, and if Congress
doesn't make appropriations suf-
ficient to carry them out, it is
Just too bad for the person who
hopes to be paid, according to
the implications of a ruling today
by Comptroller General j. r.
McCarl.
The question arose in connec-
ton with the employment of one
George E. Rexley by the Federal
District Court for the district of
New Mexico to serve as master
in chancery in a certain case at
$35 a day. Mr.. Rexley drew his
stipend in full for several
months, but later found that 10
per cent had been chopped from
it, cumulatively, on one months
pay check, and that thereafter
his pay checks were 10 per cent
short.
He protested to the Comptroller
General that he had an oral con-
tract which was effective on the
day the economy act went into
effect; that masters of chancery
are not included among those
whom Congress affected by the
economy act, since his compen-
sation was not determined by
Congress, and that he had never
consented to. a pay cut.
The Comptroller Generals
ruling is that he gets the cut
regardless.
