ANNAPOLIS, Md. October 30.-The
wreckage of Navy plane Of the same
type that took of from Dover. Del,
during the forenoon, was found in
Chesapeake Bay near here today dur
ing a break in a heavy fog over the
area.
No trace of the pilot or passenger
was seen by the crew of a tugboet
which sighted the wrecked plane,
towed it to a wharf and notified off,
cials of the Naval Academy.
Seven seaplanes and eight sub
chasers from the Naval Academy were
sent to the spot where the wreckage
was found. of Hacketts Point, about
5 miles from the Annapolis Harbor.
The wreckage, half the lower right
wing and two wheels, was found by
the tug Margaret, owned by the Cott-
man Co. of Baltimore. Seamen on the
bay had reported they heard crash
about 10 am.
Navy officials said the wreckage
seemed to be that from single

apparently was an F-4-B-3 or an
F-4-B-4 type Navy plane. No planes
of that type are stationed at the
academy.

ROOSEVELT FACES .
ISSUE Of BUDGET
Opposition Sees Higher
Taxes if Spending
Continues.
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
| In drafting the new Federal budget,
President Roosevelt has run squarely
up against the problem which may
develop into q leading 1885 campaign
issue-New Deal spending and future
taxation.
The issue Is drawn In conflicting
statements about whether new taxes
will be necessary.
Republican orators recently have
concentrated, more and more, on the
administrations spending policies.
Many already have pointed them out
as the prime issue for next years
election campaign.
Administration critics, including
Republicans. some Democrats and the
American Liberty League, have said
continued spending on the present
scale will wreck the Treasury or re-
suit In unbearable taxes for years to
come.
Denies Taxes Needed.
In his recent budget summation,
the Chief Executive said the budget
was being prepared with a view to
sharply decreasing the spread between
income and outgo." Denying what he
characterized as gloomy predictions"
Of higher taxes. the President said the
Government will not need new taxes
or increased rates in existing taxes to
meet the expense of its necessary an
nual operations and to retire its pub
| lie debt"
These two conflicting viewpoints are
accompanied by sharply contrasting
| assertions.
The Liberty League, which speaks
OF heavier tax burdens in the future.
also contends taxes can be increased
practically only by including smaller
incomes which are now exempt" be-
cause soaking the rich cannot pay
the enormous expenses this admins
tration Is piling up"
Revenue Estimates Secret.
On the other hand. Treasury ex-
perts assert the Federal income is now
virtually back to the postwar level
Of S4.000,O ,O00, 900 a year, which per-
mitted former Secretary Mellon to
retire the debt at the rate Of about
81 900, 100000 a year.
While closely guarding the official
estimates of revenue for the next few
years. Treasury officials contend ex-
isting tax rates may be expected to
yield at least $500 5000 in a year
Of normal business activity, and as
high as $1,000 900 900 in an abnormal
year such as 1928.
Even next year, Treasury officials
say they expect an income large
enough to take care of a considerable
relief program in addition to provid-
! ing for the normal expenditures of
the Government. They point out that
this years $4,000, 600, 900 income is
based largely on last years much
lower level of business activity.
The Liberty League comedies ex-
isting taxes will soon provide suf-
ficient revenue to finance all legiti-
mate expenditures, including neces-
sary relief, IF unsound spending poll
cies are abandoned"
! But it says the record Of the ad-
ministration with respect to the bud
/ get offers little reason for hope that
great significance can be attached"
to the Presidents promise of sharply
decreasing the spread between in
come and outgo."
The league agrees that revenues
during the current and subsequent
| fiscal years will be greater than in
any period since the World War, be-
cause Of "a tremendous increase In
| tax burdens"
