WASHINGTON, Jan. d. U.P) -
Coordinated control of all emer-
gency expenditures was made cf-
fective today by President Roose-
velt in an executive order published
simultaneously with his budget
message to congress.
Henceforth all expenditures of
the emergency organization such as
purchase of supplies, establish
lishment of salaries and increases
of compensation are subject to au-
dit by the comptroller general.
Hereafter the President explain
ed in lis budget message, Just as
in the departmental expenditures
there will be, in emergency eXpen-
ditures, a pre-budget and a post
audit"
by reason of the fact that the
bureau of the budget has had no
control in the past over the va
rious organizations, obligations and
allotmentS made by the emergency
organizations" the President said,
the task of preparing tie present
budget and accounting act went in
to effect in 1921. These difficult

Dexter, adding that final decision
will not be made until after several
conferences with Republican lead
ers of California during the next
few weeks.
81 have been urged by thousands
of my friends for the past 10 years
to enter public life,' he said. 81
have been on leave from Whittier
college since September and I
have just submitted my resignation
to take effect next September /
There are three things / can do:
enter public life, make another ed
ucational connection, or go into
private business.
81 have been trying to decide
whether to make the race against
Senator johnson. My decision will
be reached, of course, after num-
ber of conferences. ! haven t yet
had the conferences I'd like with
Republican leaders in the south, but
the matter should be decided in a
month, if not in the next 10 days
If I decide to run, it will be on a
platform liberal enough for prog

stability
DR.. Dexter is AZ years old and

SPEECH ST|RS
REPUBLICANS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. U.P)-
President Roosevelt S declaration
concerning a stronger tie between
the legislative and executive branch
es of the government was seized
upon today as the chief point of
Republican attack upon the Presi-
dent S annual message to congress.
While a non-partiSan spirit of
cooperation in pushing through re-
covery measures was indicated as
congress convened, some Republican
leaders found something about
which to express themselves in Mr.
Roosevelt closing words.
Senate Minority Leader McNary
likened the President IS statement
to repeal of the constitution.
Mr.. Roosevelt IS reference to the
strong and permanent tie' be-
tween the legislative and executive
branches added that, while the con-
stitution "Wisely declared a separ-
ation,' the "impulse of common
purpose declares a union.'
The President s words probably
will be recalled later in the session
in opposition to any program for
vesting in the White House treaty.

Los ANGELES ALARMED OVER
REPORTED AQUEDUCT BREAK
Aviator Mistakes Designed Spillway From
Recent Cloudburst For New Disaster
Threatening Area.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 4. UP) -
Water being spilled deliberately
from a section of the Los Angeles
aqueduct near Saugus today gave
rise to reports that the waterway
had burst.
Pilot Eddie Blom of United Air
Lines, sighting the water on his NOR
ming trip to San Francisco, radioed
headquarters that the aqueduct ap-
parently had broken.
Fl. A. Van Norman, general man
ager of the city water bureau, dis
closed, however, that he had order
ed the spillage.
An accumulation of silt in the re-
servoirs serving Los Angeles and
fed in part by the aqueduct had re-
suited in muddy faucet water since
the New Years day floods. 1t was
decided to diminish the pressure
upon the reservoirs from above, Van
Norman said, to allow reservoir wa
ters chance TO settle.
The aqueduct water is being di-
verted into the deep bed of the
Santa Clara river, Van Norman
said, where it can run off harmless
ly. The process will be continued for
three or four days, he said.
Report that the aqueduct had
burst created apprehension in the
Los Angeles area, recovering from
the shock of a New Years day
flood resulting from unprecedented
rains.
1t was pointed out, however, that
break in the aqueduct would not
be dangerous. Several ranges Of
foothills would prevent a flood and
an abundance of water in lower res
ervoirS would preclude a shortage.

through which tons Of water were
pouring.
Danger of a serious flood seemed
to be negligible. Blom said most
of the cataract was cmptying into
the Santa Clara riverbed, and it
was understood from water district
engineers that the stream could be
diverted above the spot while the
break was being repaired.
There seemed to be little danger
of water shortage resulting in Los
Angeles and environs, where the
water problem already was acute
as the result of the New Years day
floods having deposited tons of silt
in many mains and crippled many
more.
The hillside reservoirs above Los
Angeles, which store water brought
by the aqueduct from the Owens
Valley, are full almost to capacity
as the result of the storm and FLOOD
New Years eve.
Near Disaster Scene
To still the fears of residents OF
the metropolitan coastal plain, just
recovered from the shock Of New
Years day, engineers pointed out
that there are several ranges OF
hills between the spot where ths
aqueduct burst and the last high
lands bordering the San Fernando
valley and the Los AngeleS-Pasa-
dena-seaboard area.
Officials of the bureau of water
and power said they had not beer
informed of the break, but were in
Vestigating.
The spot is near the scene Of the
disastrous St. Francis dam break
of 1923.

FEDERAL DEFICIT ESTIMATED
BY TREASURY SETS RECORD

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. U.P) - A
Sc ,63l 1897 federal deficit later
raised to S7,309 ,068,211 by President
Roosevelt in his budget message was
reported by the treasury department
today for the current fiscal year
ending June 80, 1884
The treasury figures were based
on the same bureau of budget esti-
mates used by the President but did
not include a 100000 "emer-
gency' item added by Mr.. Roose
velt. This was offset partly by the
exclusion from the 1884 fiscal year
budget by the President of $488 12l,-
500 of public debt retirements.
The treasury report also failed to
take into consideration a S2,000,000,-
900 new emergency item added by
the President for the 1934-35 bud
get which accounted for the lower
public debt estimates in the treasury
report compared with the Prcsi-
dents message.

mate was the largest in peace time

Deficit To Increase
The treasury'S estimates for the
remaining six months of the current
fiscal year indicated that relief eX-
penditures will be accelerated, with
the deficit increasing nearly a bill

til July.
Total expenditures Of the govern

ment for the current fiscal yeal
which ends June 80, 1894, were esti-
mated by the treasury at $9,891,17 =
467. This figure was exceeded only
twice before, in 1918 and 1918. Fed
eral war time expenditures sent gov
ernment costs to S12.696, 7O2 900 in
1918 and to $18,514, ,8O0,0 900 in 1919.
Government income for the cur
rent year was estimated at $685.
938,756, which left the estimated de-
ficit at $6631 ,239,711. The income
this year about balanced the or
dinary' expenditures for running
the government, estimated at So,
533, ,691 ,767. The greater part of the
deficit, therefore, was accounted for
by emergency expenditures which
are estimated at $6357, ,486, roo
Only small portion of this years
estimated expenditures have beer
made in the first six months of the
fiscal year to December 81, indicat'
ing that the government will spend
some S7000,0 100000 between now and
the end of June.
The Reconstruction Finance Cor
pOration, through which many OF
the government S relief activities are
being conducted, will take the great
er part of the emergency eXpendi-
lures. II is estimated that this body
will take $3,939, 100000.

Expenditures To Decrease
Total expenditures for the 1895
fiscal year were estimated at only
$4 ,486, ,562 500 or less than half this
years expenses, while income for
the 1895 fiscal year is estimated at
$3,974, ,665,479 with allowance for
sharply increased income taxes.
This would leave a theoretical de-
ficit for the 1885 year of $5li ,897,-

current fiscal years deficit.
Total receipts of the federal gov

port said, constituted Al per cent o.
total receipts, the largest proportion
since 1924, while the percentage de-
rived from income taxes was less
than in any OF the preceding nine

in recent years have usually ac-
counted for more than half of the
total receipts, were only Sc per cent
of the total in 1888.
