today made ready to put 636 youths
to work on P. w. A. projects approved
by Commissioner Allen. in the role of

At the same time officials grew ap-

Applicants Studied Closely.
William C. Cleary. assistant deputy
works progress administrator for the
District, declared the delay was caused
by the necessity for an exhaustive
study of youth applicants to determine
the best fitted for the jobs. The money
was not made available until Deem

Plans contemplate giving work
eventually to 1000 youths. One prof.
ect under consideration. suggested by
Louise MCGUIRE, director of Juvenile

given vocational and recreational
training.
The youths listed for jobs tomorrow
will work one-third of the regular
work schedules for persons in the
w. P. A. program and receive one
third Of their pay scales, which range
from S45 for laborers to $79 a month
for skilled and professional workers.

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
President May Spend
IL eftover Appropria-
tons of Last Few Years.
BY PAUL MALLON.


DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT said
- IN his budget message that he
was $1,294, 100000 off in his
u budget last year. He over
estimated his expenditures by $s75,-
100000 and underestimate his re-
ceipts by s419,00o,0O0.
Most competent authorities here be-
lieve the current figures are even less
indicative of what the Government
may actually spend next year.
Therein lies the story behind cur
rent natural budgeting. 1t is that no
nation has real budget any more.
Necessity or convenience prevents it.
The Roosevelt technique OF the
past taDo gears has been recognized
by all budgeteerS. The President
has asked Congress for far more
money than he intended to spend.
Insiders say he has only one pur-
pose. II the economic bottom tell
out again, he ,Udnted to be in po-
Sition to cut plenty OF money.
However, he got authority while he
was at it to spend the leftover
amounts in ensuing years.
Thus. Mr.. Roosevelt now is still
spending money appropriated by Con-
gress three years ago. and carried in
the budget then. Thus, he will spend
next year whatever is left from last
years four billion, and the three bill
lion of the previous year.
These leftover amounts are au-
thorizations, not money. If utilized,
the Treasury must go out and borrow
the money for them.
Hence, the relationship between the
expenditures, debt and deficit is as
much matter of executive leeway as
of budgetary determination.

allegedly signing a fraudulent birth
certificate, declaring his wife, Mrs.
Nellie Upton Muench, mother of the

was acquitted.
Custody of the child eventually was
won after court battles by Anna Ware,
. domestic, who said the baby was
born to her out Of wedlock and was

TRENTON, N. j., January Z
Members Of the New Jersey Court OF
Pardons today awaited the decision Of
Gov. Harold G.. Hoffman on the place
the court is TO meet to consider the
clemency plea Of Bruno Richard
Hauptmann.
The court is to convene Saturday at
1870 am. The scene of the session is
to be selected by the governor. From
his choice the members will get an in
dication on whether the condemned
slayer of the Lindbergh baby is TO be
heard personally.
II the court meets at the State
prison, where Hauptmann occupies a
death house cell, it will mean, Pardons
Court members believe, that Haupt-
mann will be asked to appear before i.
But If the mercy plea is heard at the
State house, it is unlikely that Eaupt-
mann would be heard.
Governor Is Active.
The governor has shown a particular
interest in the case. having visited
Hauptmann in the death house and
conferred with Ellis Parker, widely
known Burlington County detective,
who expressed doubt that the right
man had been convicted.
Gov. Hoffman was not available to
affirm or deny reports that he was
making private investigation of the
crime.
State police heads declined to COM
ment on published statements that
Gov. Hoffman visited their headquar-
ters and obtained certain requested
information about the case.
There were reports he was investi-
eating the connection Of John Hughes
Curtis. Norfolk boat builder, with the
case, but previously he had indicated
he had no interest IN that phase OF
the crime. Curtis contended he had
had contact with the Lindbergh kid
naper and was convicted at Fleming
ton of obstructing justice
Execution Delayed.
Col. Mark o. Kimberling, State
prison warden. disclosed that the time
Of Hauptmann's execution had been
deferred until late next week The
customary time for executions has
been Tuesday night at o'clock. but
when they do not occur then Friday
night is the usual date
The postponement was ordered, Off

would give more time also for any in
vestigation which might be in progress
as well as provide the defense with
ample opportunity to make new legal
moves should the Pardons Court deny
clemency.
The defense was known to be con-
sidering application for Federal writ
of habeas corpus to present anew the
question whether Hauptmann's con-
stitutional right had been infringed at
his trial.
