$4,000 MILLION
IS TOTAL OF
PUBLICDEBT
By ERIC FRIEDHEIM
International News Service

The Treasury today wound up
the Administrations financial
operations for the current fiscal
year with a deficit of approx
mately $4,000, zoo, 900.
The public debt is slightly less
than the record mark of $34,000,-
100000 attained after the huge
financing program of June Is.
According to the latest figures
available, the Treasury since last
July 1 haI spent $4,712,O00, 900
more than it has taken in. Reve-
nue. derived from all sources
amounted to approximately 81, 1907
100000 viii lie disbursements
totaled nearly $4,000, 100000.
Budget Never Balanced
Although the Roosevelt Ad-
ministratlon has never achieved a
balanced budget, the deficit for
the 1886 fiscal year will be con-
Siderably less than was predicted
by Secretary Of the Treasury Nor
genthau.
While the President in his last
budget message forecast a deficit
Of $3,234, 000, 900 for the year, Nor
genthau revised this figure up
ward to $500. 100000. The Sec
retary's revision followed passage
of the $4,000, 100000 soldiers
bonus bill and invalidation Of
AAA processing taxes by the Su-
preme Court.
Through the record peace-time
financing operation of this month,
the Government borrowed 1,000,-
100000 in new cash principally to
meet bonus payments. Up to June
26 veterans have cashed only
$547, 0OO,0OO Of $1,671,0 900 in
checks and bonds issued to that
time. The balance Of the June
borrowing, added to funds already
in the Federal cash till, gives the
Treasury a working balance Of
approximately ,500,000,OOO to
start the new fiscal year.
Revenue Increasing
Healthy signs of industrial re-
covery are reflected in revenue
statistics for the last IL months.
Income taxes amounted to ap-
proximately $1,000, 900, 900 against
$1.09S,O 100000 during the same
period a year ago.
Miscellaneous internal revenue
approached 100000. 900, a gain
of $500, 900, 900 over the 1885 fis-
cal period. Customs receipts also
were considerably above those Of
last year.
Among the biggest items Of ex-
penditure during the 1886 fiscal
year were $1,244,000,000 for
WPA: $75O,oOO,Oo0 for national
defense: $1.10O,000.0O for public
debt interest and retirement;
$495, 100000 for FERA; $483. 000..
900 for emergency conservation
work and 1914. 100000 for AAA.

MARYLAND SPEECH
SLATED BY LANDON
Candidate Due to Talk in

BALTIMORE, September 29.-The
Maryland Republican State Central
Committee announced yesterday Gov.
Alf NJ. Landon will make one of his
closing campaign bids in an address
here october 27-just one week prior
to the presidential election.
William P. Lawson, State Repub-
lican chairman, said a parade would
escort the nominee to the 5th Regi-
ment Armory, where the address will
be delivered.
Selection Of the date was not COM
municated directly to party head
quarters here, Lawson said. He add

tion from Topeka" he explained,
but that is the inference.
I'VE are awaiting definite instruc-
tion before going ahead with prepara-
tions for the meeting. We can safely
say that the 5th Regiment Armory
will be jammed for Gov. Landon'
address and that he will be escorted
to the armory by a parade"
Party headquarters was without
information as to the duration of the
Kansan's stay here or the route to
be followed on the tour. Col Frank

idency on the Landon ticket, will

case"
A second drawback, he said. is lack
OF sufficient nurses. In many in.
stances, he said, 1t is almost impos-
sible to have carried out the orders
OF the visiting physicians Nearly 100
more patients we're treated daily In
the last fiscal year than in the pre-
ceding year, without any increase in
nurses.
The capacity and occupancy of the
hospital have been doubled in tbs
last five years. DR.. Bocock said in re-
questing additional funds for X-ray
and surgical equipment, extension OF
research activities and creation of an

Foresaw Many Changes.

F0reSaW Many CnangeS.
I have never assumed that the
social security act was without fault.
I had assumed and even hoped that
time and experience might dictate
many and important changes. AS you
stated when you signed the act on
August IA, 1885: This law represents
a cornerstone in the structure which
is being built, but is by no means
complete" But Governor Landon's
address at Milwaukee on the social
security was not a plea for the i'm
provement of the act; it was plea
to scrap the act.
I am interested in the social Sc
curity program not from partisan
viewpoint. I am interested in it as a
humanitarian measure. Governor
Landon has made the problem of
social security major issue in this
campaign and I cannot support him,
I do not feel that members of in
dependent commissions or boards,
such as the Social Security Board,
should take an active part in poll
tics and moreover, I was appointed
and confirmed as the minority
member. While I retain this position
I am not free to defend the act.
Therefore, I am tending you my
resignation as a member of the Social
Security Board.
No work I have ever undertaken
seemed more worthwhile to me than
my brief service on the Social
Security Board May thank you for
the opportunity of this service and
join you in defending it.

NEW GALL|NGER
BUILDING URGED
Dr.. Bocock Cites Growing
Needs, Especially as
to Obstetrics.

Construction of q new ward build
ing at Gallinger Municipal Hospital,
to meet the growing needs for service,
particularly in obstetrical cases, was
urged by DR.. Edgar A. Bocock. super
intendent, in his annual report to the
Board Of Public Welfare.
Reporting that more than $4,000
persons-or about per cent Of the
entire population of the District
sought medical care ut the institu-
ton in the past year, DR.. Boccok said
there Is little likelihood the average
daily population at the hospital again
would fall below 800 patients.
During the FIRST six months Of the
calendar year 1885, he said, the aver
age reached nearly 900 at all times.
For the first two months Of this Pc
riod the average rather considerably
exceeded 800.
Arguing the need for an additional
ward building, he said:
Crowded conditions have prevailed,
particularly in the medical and surgi-
cal services. BY the use Of an annex
the obstetrical service has been able
to handle its problems without undue
overcrowdlng. The isolation division
has been comfortably filled but not
overcrowded at any time. while the
tuberculosis division is now able to
meet its demands reasonably well.
"A crying need is felt for additional
accommodations for housing obstet-
rical patients. and if this were avail
able those beds now occupied by ma
ternity cases should be used with
benefit to allow added space for gyne-
Geological patients, thus greatly reliev-
ing congestion throughout the hos
pital."
DR.. Bocock declared that during the
peak Winter-month periods patients
in some wards had to be placed In

ing it was the task Of jury to de-
termine whether Mrs. Watkins was
slain or died as the result Of an acci-
dent.
A battered coffee pot and a blood
stained knife we're found in the room
near the body, but police have pointed
out that the pot may have been dented
during drinking party and the blood
on the knife could have come from the
woman's nose. which, the prisoners
have told police, was broken in a fall
An autopsy revealed that Mrs. Wat
kins died of ruptured heart. She
is understood to have been drinking
heavily. and DR.. Macdonald said this
could have caused the rupture.

Mrs. Watkins; John McGarrgle, 80,
of 212 Indiana avenue and Edward
