$4,000 Gem Loss
By Miss du POnt
Here Denied

A rumor that Miss Ethel du
Pont, fiancee of Franklin D.
Roosevelt, jr., lost $4,000 worth of
jewels in addition to an appendix
during her recent stay in Emer-
gency Hospital was exploded by
the youthful heiress in Whining
ton, Del, yesterday.
The jewels, according to rumor
making the rounds of Washington
social circles, were deposited in
Miss du Points handbag in the
hospital upon her entry. With
her dismissal from the hospital,
the story describes Miss du Pont
as opening her purse to find the
gems missing.
At the home of her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Eugene du Pont, in Will
mington yesterday, Miss du Pont
scoffed at the tale, branding it as
a myth. She said:
mo, didn't lose any jewels.
1 haven't much to lose and 1
lost absolutely nOthing-except
my appendix"

LEADERS UNITE
T0AV0ID TAX
INCREASES
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
international News Service

A coalition Of Senate and House
Democratic leaders to cut Govern
ment costs, as means Of avoiding
increased taxes and bringing the
budget close to balance in the
next fiscal year, was disclosed to-
day.
Administration StalwartS in both
branches have adopted a practice
of watching the huge annual sup
ply bills during debate and sup
porting the appropriations COM
mittees in their efforts to slash the
Presidential budget.
Representative Rayburn of
Texas, Democratic leader, pre-
dicted the House would back its
appropriations committee. He has
joined the committee in resisting
amendments on the floor.
The House Appropriations Com
mittee SlaShed the Presidential
budget $50 1000, 900 on the first four
big annual supply bills presented,
which carried a total of nearly
$4,000, 100000 for the Navy, indie
pendent offices, Treasury, Post
office and other branches. The
Senate has cut the House Navy bill
another $40, 100000
With six more big supply bills to
be passed, Administration leaders
hoped to slash from $100, 900, 900 to
$50, 100000 from budget figures.
While worried by the apparent
drop in March income tax receipts
Of from $100,000,000 to $200,000,-
900 below the budget, House and
Senate leaders were unanimously
opposed to increased taxes. Ray
burn said:
81 doubt If levying Of new taxes
will be necessary. We are max
ing every effort to hold expendi-
lures within the budget. do
mot think that the failure Of tax
receipts to equal estimates would
in itself cause new taxes. If we
can come within $1OO,OOO,OOO Of
balancing the budget in 1888 we
will not need new taxes. And it
Is not necessary to spend all the
money that is appropriated"
The budget balancing goal of
President Roosevelt admittedly de-
pended largely upon expenditures
that must be made for relief pur-
poses. Administration spokesmen
continued to maintain that cost of
the WPA and CCC could be held
within the $1,50O, 100000 limit set
by Mr.. Roosevelt in the budget
sent to Congress in January.

over which Dick Walsh won the ma
