DEFICIT DROPS
NEARLY BILLION

The Government wound up II
months of its fiscal year with a
deficit of 3,133 million dollars,
which may be increased slightly
by the year end, Treasury records
disclosed yesterday.
A 612-million-dollar gain in re-
ceipts against an increase of SO
millions in expenditures promised
to hold the years deficit nearly
1000 millions under that of 1884.
The II months expenditures
totaled 6,704 millions, and the re-
ceipts 1886 millions.
The most marked pickup in re-
ceiptS was ZIG millions in income
tax collections to a total of S45
millions. The Treasury expects
substantial benefit from the
higher level of payments again
this month.
The Government cut emergency
OUTLAWS 352 million dollars from
last year, due to RFC collecting
more money than it is paying out.
Relief costs increased.
The reduction in emergency
spending was more than offset by
q 450million-dollar increase in
ordinary expenditures.
Customs receipts increased %
millions to a total of 315 millions
for the ii months.
The public debt increased nearly
$500 millions, standing on May 81
at 1858 million dollars.
The remainder of the deficit
was financed by drawing on the
Treasury's huge cash balance for
624 million dollars.

PARK PROJECT
FACES SNAG IN
HIGH COURT

Owner of considerable land in
the Shenandoah National Park,
Robert H. Via may yet stop the
Virginia Conservation and Devel-
opment Commission from con-
demning the land for presentation
to the Government.
The action of the three-judge
Federal District Court in West
virginia dismissing the bill OF
complaint which held the commits
sion had valid authority to take
the land through condemnation
proceedings, will be reviewed by
the Supreme Court, it was an
nounced by the justices yesterday.
Acts of Congress authorized
the Secretary Of the Interior to
accept donations of land in the
Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia
to be used in creating the Shenan-
doah National Park. The Virginia
assembly in 1925 authorized the
State Conservation and Develop
ment Commission to acquire land
in the area by condemnation pro-
ceedings, and to give it to the Fed.
eral Government for national
parks.
Via claims that it is beyond the
power Of Virginia to condemn
land for the purpose of giving 1t
to the United States and asserts
that the taking of his land is IN
direct violation of the Fourteenth
Amendment as we'll as his constr
tutional rights. He added that 1t
would amount to the confiscation
of his land without due process OF
law.
