WHAT ABOUT REDUCING EXPENSES?

In his speech at Pittsburgh last Thurs
dav evening. President Roosevelt devoted
a large part of his time to defense OF the
spending policy of his administration III
the period of the depression. Walter Llpp-
man saws that in this attempted argument
the President set up and knocked down
number of straw men. That seems to be
the sum total of the Presidents effort to
Justify his course.
The President is compelled to admit the
spending. 1t is in the records-there Is no
possibility of lodging the records-So MI
Roosevelt attempts to Justify the spending
and asserts that prosperity has been coaXed
into full Towering again in this country by
the process of borrowing and spending.
If for the sake of argument it is granted
that all the spending was necessary, and
that, as the President contends, normal ana
prosperous conditions have returned to the
country, there arises the one big question
as TO the right course to take now. II the
country has come back-or almost-to nor
NAL conditions, then the logic of present
conditions requires reduction OF eXpendl-
lures and a return to normal conditions IN
government as we'll as in business.
On this point the President was mysterl-
ouslv silent in his Pittsburgh speech. Ii the
national income keeps on rising, ne sald'
some time in the future we may expect the
national income to become so swollen that
even New Dealers will be driven crazier
than they are at present to discover the
schemes for spending it. This is reason
able inference, we think, from the actual
words of Roosevelt. He said not word
about reducing expenses of government
about spending less, about reduction of in
tolerable tax burdens; but talked about
larger income evidently with the one
thought of having more to spend and
wringing more tax money from the people
of the country.
The fact is that the countrys present
budget for regular federal government eX-
penses is approximately double what it was
before the depression; and while we are
told that the country is far on the road to
recovery, II Is q SOlSlIlH low 1he'N WIN w.
of government for the present fiscal year
will be much greater than the cost last
year; and in spite of the hollow promises
of the President there is not. an honest,
fsir-minded, intelligent citizen of any po-
htical party in the United States who can
make himself believe that under the lead
ership of Franklin D. Roosevelt there will
ever be a reduction of government eX-
penses or a balancing of the budget.
= He has not promised anything like that
and has no intention whatever-as far as
his words and his record disclose - OF
adopting such a policy. His one hope is
that the income of the country will rise so
that there may be additional spending and
additional tax burdens may be imposed,
The country "ain't seen no spending to
compare with what it will see if Roosevelt
is reelected, with what he will regard as a
mandate from a majority of the people, to
continue the crazy course of the alleged
New Deal.

$25O,0()D TO END
GRADE CROSSING
Last Major Traffic Peril in
District Will Be
Abolished.

Removal OF the last OF the ma jor
railroad grade crossings in the Dis
trict was assured today when the
Commissioners were notified of q
grant of $250,000 for the purpose by
the Bureau OF Public Roads.
While the Commissioners have not
determined how the money will be
used. it is tentatively planned to build
viaduct over the Bates road cross
ing Of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
tracks near Tenth and Varnum streets
northeast and to widen the viaduct
over Bladensburg road northeast near
the intersection with New York ave-
nue.. it was reported by Capt. H. C..
Whitehurst, director of highways.
Heretofore the District has received
$4,000 for grade crossing elimina-
ton from funds provided by Con-
gress for such work in the States and
the District for the purpose of reliev-
ing unemployment
With this money the District has
proceeded with the building of an un-
derpass at the Eastern avenue grade
crossing, a project now nearly fin.
ished; and with the building Of the
Michigan avenue viaduct, now about
IS per cent finished. In the latter
project District funds are being used
to supplement the Federal grant.
Capt Whitehurst said it was likely
widening Of the Bladensburg road
viaduct would be undertaken first,
since that was regarded as of greater
importance from a traffic safety point
of view. The roadway there is now
40 feet wide and will be made go feet.
The new grant contemplates two
year program and the Bates road via
duct project is contemplated for the
second phase for the reason that land
must be condemned before work can
be started. {

POLICE TO SEIZE
CLAW MACHINES
AFTER NEW YEAR
Garnett Orders ConfiScation
of Gambling Devices
Beginning Saturday.
ROTARY MERCHANDISER
ALSO is HELD ILLEGAL
Operators, Influenced by Court
Rulings, Agree to Remove
Contraptions.

United States Attorney Leslie c.
Garnett ordered police today to seize
all claw-machines found in operation
after the city welcomes the New Year.
A directed verdict of District
Court jury, declaring the machines
illegal gambling devices, was formally
recorded this morning. Immediately
a letter was sent to Superintendent OF
Police Ernest w. Brown requesting
him to give claw-machine operators
until midnight, December 81, to clear
the city of the devices. which are esti-
mated to take 81 900 900 annually from
the Washington public.
At the same time Garnett revealed
that rotary merchandisers. the city's
newest prize game, also will be re-
moved. He notified Julian I. Richards.
attorney for the rotary merchandiser
owners, that he considered them
gambling devices. Influenced by the
successive court decisions outlawing
pin-ball games and claw-machines,
the operators agreed to take out the
contraptions.
Eighteen Rotaries in Operation.
The rotary merchandiser is q large.
boxlike arrangement containing a
wheel on which are placed various
prizes. The wheel Is set in motion and
the player tries to halt the spin SO
the prize he selects will be opposite the
hopper. A mechanical arm then Is
showed out in an attempt to push the
prize from the then stationary wheel
into the hopper. Eighteen such games
are said to be in operation in drug
stores and other gathering places.
Justice Jesse C. Adkins announced
late yesterday he would direct a yer.
dict for the Government In the claw
machine test case. Since the jury,
which had been hearing testimony in
the cause for the last two weeks was
excused before the Christmas holidays
until today, it was necessary to delay
the actual verdict.
The case arose from a replevin suit
by Mrs. Freda Boosalis. claw machine
owner. for return Of three of her ma
chimes seized by police April 10 from
the Shoreham Pharmacy, Fifteenth
and H streets. BY agreement. the
case was to be considered as settling
whether the machines are gambling
devices.
Attorneys Note Appeal.
Attorneys Harry T. Whelan and
william A. Gallagher. representing
the claw machine interests, noted an
appeal from Justice Adkins ruling.
The decision to give the claw ma
chine operators until the end of the
year to remove their machines was
made after conference today be-
tween Garnett. Assistant United States
Attorney John j. Wilson, who tried
the case: Whelan and Gallagher.
Wilson also represented the Govern
ment in the civil litigation which
ended in outlawing pin ball games.
When the claw machines and the
rotary merchandisers are removed, it
is thought that the city will have
been stripped of all mechanical de-
vices Offering prizes to successful
players.
