The result is that the shafts become
frozen" through rusting, making it
impossible to equalize the brakes or
to have them release properly. Here
Is simple trick that will solve the
problem:
Drill holes in the shaft supports and
screw in grease fittings. The cross
shaft can, therefore, be fabricated
every time the car is at the service sta
ton for a greasing.

and trouble. To avoid this, make sure
that you are using the proper wrench
for the job. This should be, preferably,
special socket which is found in the
tool kit of most cars. An open end
wrench Of the right size will be good
enough for this job on some cars. Un-
der no conditions use a monkey
wrench. 1t may slip, banging up your
fingers as well as the plugs"
Careful With New One.
This is a new slant on safety, but
1t is one that may help to solve your
own problem as to why all of us have
tendency to become careless if we
run for long period without an acci-
dent. I picked the idea from q friend
OF mine who says he is buying a new
car for no reason other than to check
his tendency to grow careless with the
old one. He says he knows his old
car 80 Intimately that he drives it
to the limit. Also he doesn't care par
ticularly If he scratches a fender oc-
casionally. That, in his opinion, Is
bad. The safest way out is to take
delivery of something that he will
treat gingerly for long enough period
D tide him over his weak moments.
Tell Them Weak Points.
Speaking Of old cars reminds me to
suggest the importance Of tipping of
friends to the weaknesses Of your car
If they happen to do the driving. In
one 1888 car there is a tendency for
the steering gear to cramp OCCASION
ally when the front wheels are cut
for sharp turn. Owners become ac-
customed to this and hardly notice it,
but the stranger at the wheel might
be seriously handicapped, If not ac-
tually endangered.

am particularly pleased to note
that car makers this year are stress
ing the importance of synchronized
windshield wipers. This should mark
an end to the annoyance Of having
the wiper blades flip back and forth
out Of time with each other. Any
thing that is irregular is distracting.

STORY Of ARREST
Levaneftsky Rumored Busy

MOSCOW, June 2S.-Ofncial quar-

Sigismund Levaneffsky. noted Soviet
pilot. had become involved in the
latest wave Of arrests in Russia.
These persons declined to say where
Ievanef7sky had been since his last
known flight three weeks ago. but 1t
was considered possible he might be
engaged In secret preparations for a
second Soviet trans-Polar flight to
the United States.
Neither Levanef1sky nor Gen. Y. I.
Alksmis. chief Of the Soviet air force
and vice commissar Of defense, was
present last Friday at an Official re-
ception for DR.. Otto Schmidt and his
returning party Of Polar aerial ex-
plorers. So far, the generals absence
has not been explained.
Levane1sky became we'll known
in the United States when he few

Alaska. Mattern was forced down in
Siberia on his 1893 flight around the
world.
Alexander Arosef1, president of Voks

Alksnis served in the defense COM
missariat with the late war marshal
Michail Tukachevsky, and had beer

The reports died down temporarily
however. when he was drafted to sit

lords to die for treasonable con-
spiracy with an unnamed foreign
country.

FRANCE FORESEES
BALANCED BUDGET
Bonnet Is Rushed to Paris
From Cherbourg to Pre-
sent Program.
Dy the Associated Press.

PARIS, June 28.-Georges Bonnet,
finance minister In the new French
government, came back from the
United States today to seek a bal
anoed budget for his nations money
Ills.
Bonnet was recalled from his post
as Ambassador at Washington as soon
as the new cabinet Of Camille Chau-
temps was formed. He would have
preferred to stay there, but the second
Peoples Front government has hung
on him its hopes for solving financial
crisis
He was called Immediately to see
Camille Chautemps, the new premier,
and then take his financial proposals
before a full cabinet meeting. A spe-
clal train sped him to Paris after he
landed at Cherbourg from the liner
Queen Mary
Hotels May Close.
Chautemps, meanwhile, failed to
swerve restaurant, hotel and cafe own
ers from their decision to shut down
July 3 in protest against nation wide
application of the 40-hour week. They
agreed, however. to confer again July |.
Bonnet's undersecretary Rene Bru-
net announced his goal was a bal
anced budget. He asserted the first
step-balancing the ordinary budget
could be taken this year.
Vincent Auriol, the retired finance
minister, estimated the ordinary
budget deficit at 46O0. 100000 francs
(about 100000 0000l. The combined
treasury deficit Of both the ordinary
and extraordinary budgets has been
estimated a. 36,l27,oooooo francs
(about $500, 100000.
That total, Brunei said, could be
balanced within three years. The regu-
lar budget Of about SAIL 600, 600 does
not include the extraordinary ex-
penses, most of which are for defense.
Bonnet WAS expected to present his
declaration of policy to Parliament to-
morrow along with projects to increase
taxation and reduce expenditures.
Chautemps meanwhile summoned
a delegation OF hotel, restaurant and
hotel owners to a conference in
new e1ort to prevent a nationwide
closure.
Trouble Is Inherited.
This first major trouble of his gov
eminent was inherited from that of
his predecessor, Socialist Leon Blum,
whose Peoples Front cabinet fell over
a demand for virtually dictatorial
powers to meet the financial crisis.
Publication of a decree of the Blum
government, extending the 40-hour
work week to the hotel industry,
brought Widespread protests from op-
orators, who threatened to close their
businesses rather than operate un-
Ger it.
AS Bonnet boarded the special train
he told intervievers he was more
than ever convinced Of the necessity
for Franco American Cooperation.
The retiring Ambassador was full
OF enthusiasm for the United States,
and said, Frankly, I would have pre-
ferred to stay there"

ECONOMY DRIVE

Years Spending Already Is
$1U,000,0 900 Above Re.
vised Estimate.
By the Associated Press.

Treasury figures indicated today
that the Administrations economy
campaign will fall about $500 900 900
short Of its goal.
When President Roosevelt instructed
all departments last April to cut ex-
penditures sharply. he revised his bud
get to figure s295 100000 under the
January forecast.
Treasury reports showed. however,
that expenditures from last July /.
through June "a, were s7,8s3, ,o00, 900.
compared with a revised budget of
$7.7Sl 100000.
Thus the years spending already
has gone sl02 100000 above the re-
Vtsed estimate At the current rate
1t will increase another 100000 900
or more by Wednesday, the end of the
fiscal year
While expenditures have not been
kept within the April figure, revenue
also has been above estimates made
At that time
Receipts were s5.2l3,0OO, 900 through
June "a, and are expected by Treasury
ofhcials to reach about $3.50 OO0, 900
by Wednesday, or s56, 6,00O,0 900 over the
revised estimate This figure would be
$55o,000,000 under the January
estimate.
Officials attributed the decline un-
der original estimates to failure of
income tax receipts to meet expecta-
tions. litigation tying up rail retire.
ment and windfall tax collections and
a sharp drop in expected gift tax
revenue.
On the basis of these estimates, this
years deficit would total about So
670,000,000, exclusive of debt retire.
ment, compared with a revised esti-
mate of s2557,0o0.o0o and an original
estimate OF s2248.000,000
That deficit would bring the public
debt to about 500. .30o,OO0,000
Approach of the fiscal years end
focused attention also on plans for
next years spending.

FARM TENANT AID
IS HOUSE ISSUE
Questions Of Degree Of Paternal-
ism Follow Report on
Measure.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
The degree Of Government super
vision over proposed farm tenancy
loans became a major issue today in
House debate
The House Agriculture Committee
approved bill authorizing $4,000 900
IN loans to tenants sharecroppers and
farm laborers for the purchase of farm
homes during the next three years.
A group led by Representative Bier
mann, Democrat, of Iowa. offered an
amendment to let the Government
purchase, improve and resell farms to
tenants. The latter would have to
serve a fve-year trial, supervised by
Federal agents
Other salient points in the commit
Gee bill:
Borrowers would have 80 years to
retire loans at per cent annual
Interest.
Loans would BE- extended only to
tenants and on farms approved by
county committees of three farmers,
appointed by the Secretary of Aeri-
culture.
Borrowers would be required to keep
their farms in repair and to follow
farming practices that would prevent
Soil exhaustion.
Liberal rehabilitation loans would
finance farming operations and re-
finance Indebtedness Funds for such
loans would be made available from
relief appropriations.
Expenditure of s5o,ooOooo during the
next three years would be authorized
tor purchase and retirement of un-
productive land.
The Resettlement Administration
would be renamed the Farm Security
Administration and would carry out
the tenancy program.
