ing to instructions from President
Roosevelt, have locked up in reserve
funds about s4oo,oOo, 900 Of their ap-
preparations.
Fiscal officials, disclosing this today.

lease part of this reserve for expendl-
ture later in the year

opinion. however, that a substa ntial
reduction can be made in the S4i8,-
100000 deficit originally estimated for
this fiscal year, which ends next
June 80.
A new procedure has been worked
out, they explained, so the Budget
Bureau can maintain a tighter hold
on the Federal purse strings.
After department has set aside
a percentage of its appropriation in
aEreserve fund. they said, the money
can be released for spending only on
authorization by the bureau. 1t may
hold hearings to determine whether
tho expenditure is justified
Mr.. Roosevelt's instructions, con-
tanned in recent letter to department
heads, asked that reserves be set up
in all appropriations susceptible to
reduction.
Officials said today the departments
have set up reserves averaging about
10 per cent, the figure suggested by
the President.
Both expenditures and the deficit
since July have been running sub
stantially ahead Of last year, but fiscal
authorities predicted this trend would
be reversed in the next few months.
Through August the gross deficit
this year stood at s257,177,00O, COM
pared with $l5l.423 900 in the same
period year ago. Gross expenditures
totaled 1878, sos 900 and se03 .4O5 900,

on. many day shift workers leaving

but fewer Of those reporting for work
took it. Some workers kept the
papers, others tossed them aside.
Meanwhile. Dearborn police investi-
gated conflicting reports that two
sticks Of dynamite had been found in
a tunnel carrying power cables and
steam pipes at the Rouge plant.
James Denny. a Dearborn detective,
said the dynamite was packing
grease.
Henry B. Miller, another Dearborn
detective, said it WAS dynamite.
