Additional Government borrow.
ing before the close of the present
fiscal year appeared a distinct pos
sibility today following President
RooSevelt'S request to Congress
for a new relief appropriation of
1,500 million dollars.
Although the flood Of income
tax collections and the recent
1,250-million-dollar spring financ-
ing program gave the Treasury q
working balance of more than
2,317 million dollars, soldier bonus
payments and relief disbursements
will cut heavily into the Federal
money till after June.
The present working balance,
however, can be stretched out to
meet this drain throughout the
summer and well into the fall
months, Treasury officials said.
At the same time it was admitted
that the Administration would
prefer to borrow additional funds
before June instead Of during the
months Immediately prior to a
presidential election.
Success of any Government II.

seems assured in view Of the heavy

MESHK0FF FREED
OF H|T-RUN COUNT
Five Members of Family
. Present AIibi for Boys
Club Head.

John p. Meshkoff, fourth precinct
detective detailed as director of the
Metropolitan Police Boys Club, was
exonerated of hit-and-run charges
at hearing before Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel William H. McGrath
late yesterday.
Meshkoff admitted ownership Of an
automobile which collided with a
taxicab driven by Herman Norris, 36,
colored, 1856 T street southwest, last
Friday morning, but testified he left
his car parked on Ordway street near
Connecticut avenue early Thursday
evening and did not see it again until
he went to the fourth precinct fol-
lowing the accident.
Five Offer Alibi.
Alibi witnesses for Meshkoff, who
said he stayed home and played cards
all evening, included his wife, Olive;
two sisters, Eugenia and Betty; his
sister-in-law, Lillian Mae Lynch, and
his brother-in-law, Paul Morgan. All
testified the detective did not leave
his home at 3446 Connecticut avenue
from the time he moved his car off
of Connecticut avenue to Ordway
street at about 7 pm. Thursday until
he was called by Pvt. S.. F. Malone
of the fourth precinct, after the ac-
cident in which his car was involved
All six witnesses testified they played
cards until about 1880, when they
retired.
Lieut.. Oscar Letterman said he
talked to Meshkoff on the telephone
at his home at :25 a. m. last Friday
after Norris had reported the acci-
dent. The accident occurred at 12:45
am.
Norris pointed Meshkoff out in the
crowded room and testified the officer
wore gray overcoat on the night
of the accident. Other witnesses, in
cluding Lieut.. Letterman, testified
Meshkof does not own gray over
coat. When he appeared at the hear
ing, he was wearing a light tan over
coat. He said he also owns q black
one.
Three Injured in Crash.
Norris and his two passengers,
James Douglas, 80, colored, 1913
Fifteenth street, and Aloysius Brown,
"a, colored, % Fourteenth street, were
injured in the crash, it was brought
out, but none seriously. McGrath
held that the information brought out
against Meshkof at the hearing was
too meager upon which to base a
charge of leaving after colliding. He
said he did not believe a jury would
convict Meshkoff.
Meshkoff was represented at the
hearing by Atty. Charles E. Ford, who
stressed the time element between the
crash at 12:45 and the time Lieut..
Letterman and Pvt. Malone talked
to him on the telephone at his home
and pointed out that it would be a
physical impossibility for Meshkoff
to have secured other transportation
after his car was wrecked, even if
he had been present, and gotten to
his home in time to answer the tele-
phone. Norris was represented by
Harold P. Ganss.

The men, held at the Fourth

bottle of beer, looked the place
over and left.
Later they returned with hand
kerchiefS over their faces, but
became nervous and fled with
out taking anything. The pro-
prietor, Mrs. Rose Fischer, called
police and one of the men was
picked up.
Later the second man was ar
