BRITISH DEFICIT
ESTIMATED At
S106,455,0OO
Income Tax Is Raised
To q Per Cent; US.
Debt Forgotten

LONDON, April 81 d.N.SJ.-A
deficit Of Ell, ,291 900 (about $780,.
$4,000 was estimated by Chan.
cellor of the Exchequer Neville
Chamberlain today in his address
to the House of commons on the
1936-37 budget for the nation.
Chamberlain estimated eXpend-
itures this year at E797 1897 900
and total revenue at E776, 900.
Chamberlain then outlin e d
minor tax increases which would
reduce the deficit to 20,266,000
pounds (about $101 1886, ,00O.
Income Tax Rises
Continuing, Chamberlain an
nounced he was increasing the in
come tax 3 pence, making it 4
shillings 8 pence per pound, or
about $1.15 per IS. This would be
about % per cent.
Chamberlain said he proposed to
cover the deficit out of revenue
during the year.
Discussing the new armament
program, Chamberlain said:
1--WE are entering new commit
ments in the course Of the next
few years which will involve ex-
penditure of very great sums.
"The defense program is the
longest ever undertaken by this
country in peace time"
WILL FLOAT LOAN
He said it was inequitable that
the whole cost should be met in
five years, and he indicated part
of the cost would be met by a loan.
Chamberlain'S estimates con-
tanned no provision for payments
on the American debt. The gov
ernment should be paying about
$3.50, ,O0O, 900 to the United States
this year and should receive
about $9O,o00,000 from Cont
mental creditors who have de-
faulted.

Snag Slows Up Chain
Store Drive in House
international News Service

While a bloc of go Representa-
tives in Congress pushed a drive
for immediate enactment Of the
Patman-R Robinson bill to regulate
chain store prices, it appeared to-
day that consideration OF the
measure was definitely held up
for at least three weeks.
The Congressional bloc backed
Representative Wright Patman
CD of Texas in an effort to force
the measure to the floor Wednes-
day. However, Chairman John j.
O'Connor CD Of New York, of
the House Rules Committee, said
it was unlikely that the rule
sought by the bloc to give the
measure right.of-way would be
granted for Wednesday.

Rules Fur
Keeps Title

The District Boxing Commis-
sion today ruled Phil Fur has re-
tanned his District welterweight
championship, despite his Is
round loss to Johnny Lucas, Cam
den, N. j., boxer, at the Arena
Monday.
The commission declared it was
not a sanctioned title bout and
there was no mention in the con-
tract that Furr's title was at
stake.
The commission also repri-
manded Promoter Goldie Ahearn
for allowing the impression to be
gained that it was a title affair.
The board also rebuked Ahearn
for permitting Furr to enter the
ring a pound over the welter-
weight limit.
The commission also has asked
the National Boxing Association
to suspend Jackie Portney, Balti-
more welterweight, for lodging
his match with Phil Furr here
September 13. The commission
also announced that John Henry
Lewis has cabled Promoter Earl
Mcdonald his willingness to box

BaCkfie|d Pair
Central Stars
In Series
BY GARRETT WATERS

All players, regardless Of what
branch of sport, experience their
off days.
A week or so ago, an entire
group of high school grid per-
formers went through the most
trying 40 minutes of the season.
That body of youngsters wore
Central High School football uni
forms. The game was against
Tech High, traditional rival Of
the first water.
Central took a 6-to-0 beating
that day and each player in the
lineup was subjected to beating
that was indeed hard to take.
Two performers in particular
had a tough time. They were Billy
Vermillion, sturdy quarterback,
and Bill Wootten, heftv fullback.
Stopped in Tracks
Time after time they were
thrown for losses. And time after
time they were kept from working
the overhead game both had been
taught during the early season
practice sessions.
Yesterday, the pair went back
on the field as Central made its

third appearance of the current
interhigh series.
A different story ruled, as both
played their best games of the
campaign. Roosevelt High was
Central's foe in this instance and
the Riders, after playing gallantly
in the first half, gave way after
the intermission to lose, "a to 0.
Score All Points
Vermillion and Wootten were all
over the field. Both ran the
leather confidently and between
them chalked up the four touch
downs registered by the Blue and
White.
Vermillion scored in the first
and third quarters. Wootten regis
tered in the third and fourth.
Now the point Of all thiS-if
you're still listening-is this: The
two backfield aces are capable
football players. They should go
far in collegiate ranks, particu.
larly Wootten, who has the build"
to stand plenty of rugged play.
That game yesterday handed
down a few more impressions be-
sides the fine play of Vermillion
and Wootten.
Early Play Uncertain
It showed a Central team rather
uncertain of itself in the first
half--due chiefly to thoughts of
the poor showing against Tech.
And While fumbleS were many,
it showed fine Central team in
the second half making a deter
minel comeback. In RooSevelt's
behalf, the Riders were beaten
quite as was expected to be the
case.
The boys were terrifically out
weighed-they couldn't move
that powerful Central line an
inch - and their overhead game
was stopped every time it was
used.
The Riders put up their charac.
teristic fight, however, through,
out. And again, Harry Moore,
Eddie Vasvary and Joe Kolker,
on the line, were outstanding.

The New Haven Express is
heading South!
That fact isn't helping South
ern duckpin spillers to have peace
full dreams.
The New Haven Express is none
other than cigar-chewing, fidgety
Jack White, who has already worn
out three or four of Tennyson's
best brooks during his career as a
top-notch bowler.
Ten years ago the only bowler
from New England people down in
Washington had ever heard about
was Jack White. Jack was plenty
tough then, the Capital stars OF
those days, Howard Campbell, Jack
Whalen, Earl McPhilomy, Make
Rosenberg and Al Work, confess,
and like a rooster he seems to get
tougher with the years.
A wrenched back subdued him
for a couple Of seasons but last
year he again remounted his
throne as the King-Pin OF Con-
necticut, Nick Tronsky notwith-
standing.
Right now he is the hottest
thing on the drives.
Swamps S6 Rivals
Last Saturday he Swamped 36
contenders TO capture the Brass
City Sweepstakes with a ten-game
average of 1903. It was consistent
shooting, too, not a couple Of hot
games. his high total was 157 and
he slumpeu once to 118 and his
sets were 693 and TO.
He beat Billy Wierdak by 26
pins, Wally Pipp placing third
with 1856 and Nick Tronsky
fourth So pins behind his team
mate.
And so when the New Haven
Express chugs into town Saturday
with his Seagram Star and
Seagram Crown companions, and
opens fire on the ducks in the
sixth annual Washington Times
Mems Dixie Sweepstakes, he'll be
the cynoSure Of rivals and Specta-
tors alike.
Winchester'S Cobb
The Dixie will also mark Win
chester, Va, stepping out in big
time" bowling with the entry Of
William L. Cobb, the 25-year flash,
who is clocking naples for SEN
sational averages. Cobb has three
400 sets to his credit this season
and sports q 119 average.
He contributed his share to
Jack Zimmerman'S Health Center
teams recent 744 game.
The Black Rock Alleys of Bridge
port, Conn.,, will send Gus Kim
berley to represent them, which
means that with Doc Williams,
Bozo Dente and Joe LAM bstra
and Kimberley on hand Bridge
port, Conn.,, will be present and
voting heavily. All four GsS ltia1suU tia1suU
bowlerS have won their share of
duckpin honors.
Teammates Tough
Speaking of Jack White and
Frank Barber's two teams, Sea-
gram Stars and Crowns, Jack
will have plenty of opposition
from his teammates as mere
mention will show.
The Stars lineup has, besides
White, Nick Tronsky, Wally Pipp,
Mike Begino and Joe Gacek,
while Bill Tate, Bill Dente, Ben
Kosky, Pat Rooney (RudinD and
Billy Wierdak are the bearers of
the Crowns colors.
And so when the New Haven
Express Steams out of the North,
he'll be dragging along a train
load Of duckpin dynamite.
The Dixie opens at the Arcadia
Saturday at II a. M, shifts to
Convention Hall at 3 p. m. and
closes at Lucky Strike at 1880

PICKS TEMPLE
Army-NOtre Dame - A tradi-
tional in which Notre Dame more
often than not plays its best foot
ball. Army is favored, but l look
for the Irish to come through with
a bang.
Temple VS.. VillanOva-Temple
has grown stronger and stronger.
Pop" Warmers boys upset Holy
Cross and then tied Michigan
State. Villanova had a letdown
but is back in shape now. A close,
hard game, with Temple favored.
Duquesne VS.. Carnegie Tech-A
local rivalry and one which has
grown in Importance. Tech is a
greatly under-rated eleven. I look
for the Skiboes to come through
with a real fine effort to defeat
the Dukes
Kansas State VS.. Iowa State
Here is a tie game on paper, If
ever there has been one. Both
tied Oklahoma. If either team
has an edge, it is Kansas State.
Nebraska VS.. PittSburgh-This
will be one for the books. Ne
braska is a top team. Since the
game is played at Lincoln, I'll take
Nebraska.
State VS.. State-Traditional bat
tie. Toss a coin. My coin says
heads and South Dakota State.
Washington VS.. Southern Cali
fornia-The latter slipped a bit
last weekend but should be back
up by Saturday. The Huskies also
slipped a bit, too. A hard, close
battle, with Huskies favored.
u. C. L. A. vs.. Washington State
Another tough one. U. c. L. A.
came through last weekend, but I
doubt that the Uclan will do so
this Saturday.
California vs.. Oregon-All games
on the Coast are tough, come mid
November. This one is no eXcep-
ton. California should win, but
will it?
Utah State VS.. ColoradO-Did
not play last year. Both good
teams.
Gives Stanford Edge
Oregon State VS.. StanfOrd-Both
teams have been coming rapidly.
It would seem that Stanford holds
an edge.
Georgetown VS.. Manhattan
"Chick" Meehan's boys turned in
a fine effort last Saturday.
Georgetown, an alert and capable
team, can win if the players are
in the right mental attitude.
Georgetown.
Maryland vs.. v. M. 1.-The
Keydets are dangerous. However,
Guckeyson plays with Maryland.
Catholic U. VS.. N. C. State-One
of these days, C. U. will click like
it should. Saturday appears to be
the day.
B. C. vs.. Western Maryland
The former is capable Of winning
by a city block, but it has been
an in-and-out team. It looks very
