 Sitting on the station steps, he listened to voluble testimony from townsmen and soldiers involved in hundred petty disputes.

 1 .Analyzing figures for the first two months of this fiscal year, which showed a deficit of $672,000, 900 .pared with $475,000,000 year ago, Morgenthau said this gain was due to increased. spending activi- ties of federal agencies.

 Miami, Sept. 5.-UP)-The last remaining passengers aboard the grounded liner Dixie were re- moved to-day, according to radio adVices
 Rescue ships last night removed 110 of the 2S6 passengers, and 54 members of the crew, leaving 122 passengers and 97 crew aboard the vessel overnight.
 A motor launch of the salvage tug Warbler came alongside the Dixie shortly after dawn to-day and removed 20 passengers.
 Then two coast guard launches carried off 34 more passengers.
 At S:30 a. m., the Morgan liner Fl Occidente, joined in the task of transferring the remaining pas sengers. ,.
 The last passenger was taken from the Dixie at 9:50 a. m. EDT., Capt. Einar Sundstrom reported.
 Message of Master
 The masters message said:
 "All passengers and crew that were to leave off $50 (EST)."

Visit to the hull, resting high on French Reef about 15 miles off the Flor ida coast, was expected to be made shortly to determine the best method of salvaging the vessel.
