 Washington, March 2 - Mir. Roosevelt - of all people, as some might say--B building himself a reputation as a champion of bud- get balancing.
 Politically speaking, 1t is very good medicine for him to be found insisting on living up to his budget promises for the fiscal year lo36-37 while congress balks and squirms at his demand for the necessary taxa ton,
 Presidents customarily have gain ed popular strength in their bat ties with congress and in the pres ent case Roosevelt has Q popular one-budget balancing-with which to work.
 Of course the budget isn't going to be balanced right away. What the president insists is that the deficit be kept below that of 1935-36, now estimated at $3,234, 100000 About $i, 100 ,000, 900 of anticipated unex- pended balances may already be charged up against next years deficit and to that must be added an amount - currently guessed at about $2,0O0, ,000, ,000-for relief.
 To avoid adding to those last two figures, Roosevelt demands that Congress raise $12O,OOO, 900 annually for nine years to cover the cost of prepayment of bonus, 5OO,000,O0O for the new farm plan next year, and $500, 100000 to re- place processing taxes eliminated from government receipts this year by the supreme court which he thinks can be had most ly from processors and others who stood to save 1t under the courts decision.
 Congressional leaders who were shocked" and surprised" to hear that Roosevelt wanted them to raise more than billion dollars needn't have been. And the Repub- licans and other budgct-balancers now complaining that he won't tell them how to raise the money are in funny position, because they have 50 often complained of execu- tive dictation to congress.

HOLLYWOOD, June 6.-Fred
Astaire will limit his future screen
activities to two pictures a year,
believing that is the maximum
schedule which can be efficiently
and consistently followed for the
type of musicals in which he
appears.
Astaire has just completed an
eight weeks creative and rehearsal
session during which he per
fected the dance routines for
Never Gonna Dance" the new
R.K.O. Radio musical in which
he and Ginger Rogers are CO.
starring. During that period he
and Miss Rogers have worked
harder than most stars do when
actually before the cameras.
I'm time of work required. two
pictures of the type I have been
doing, are equivalent to at least
four major non-musical features, -
AStaire explained. From the
standpoint of time alone, it is al
most impossible to sandwich in a
third production even by working
every day. From the physical
viewpoint, it is impossible to
carry out a schedule as strenuous
as would be required by thre0
pictures a year."
