Hazardous,

The practice of double parking on
busy thoroughfares by delivery trucks,
buses and private automobiles was as
sailed today as hazardous and too
prevalent by George E. Keneipp, man.
ager Of the Keystone Automobile Cluo.
Mr.. Keneipp urged that authorities
give more attention to enforcing the
ban against double parking on arterial
streets. He blamed the practice for
the major part Of the citys trafhc
congestion and described it as danger
GUS to motorists and pedestrians alike.
Keneipp said trucks are the prin-
cipal offenders, and that buses often
obstruct traffic lanes unnecessarily by
not pulling as near as possible to the
curb while loading and unloading.
Drivers Of private automobiles. he
added, "are by no means blameless."

Of these patients come from Maryland

The Federal aspect has proved q

NEXT FEW WEEKS
H0LDBUDGETF FATE
Figures Already at Printers,
but Chances of Balance
Still Unknown.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
secrecy-bound printers took first
glimpses today at next years Federal
budget. but economic developments tn
the next few weeks may decide
whether it can be balanced.
The figures, to be made public early
in January, will disclose Treasury
prospects for breaking even on receipts
and expenditures in the fiscal year
beginning next July 1.
Although much Of the detailed work
has been completed, many OF the
budget estimates will stay blank until
about January /. when the President
will have had more time to gauge the
extent Of the current business recess
sion.
Both Mr.. Roosevelt and Secretary
Morgenthau have promised to try to
achieve balance between income and
outgo.
Declining business would dim income
prospects, however, and spread of
unemployment might require more re-
lief spending. There also have been
demands for a resumption of pump
priming" expenditures by the Gov
ernment.
The recession was described last
night as "a temporary check in our
progress" by the American Federation
Of Labor. which appealed to private
employers to reduce no pay rolls.
Serious danger lies in the pos
sibility that workers buying power
may be reduced while industrial pro-
duction is checked during the waiting
period" the statement added.
In . variation Of this idea, Mr..
Roosevelt said yesterday he would
ask Federal department heads to an
ticipate their supply needs for the
next six months and make the pur-
chases now. 1t was estimated this
would pour $245 100000 into trade
channels.
tn. ecretary Morgenthau has aban-
doned his intention to help balance
the budget by holding next years
relief spending below the 81 SOC, ,000, 900
appropriated this year.
He also has urged less spending for
agriculture, public works and high
ways. Mr.. Roosevelt said yesterday
he would ask Congress to pass legis-
lation reducing the annual outlay for
Federal aid highways, which has more
than doubled since 1929 and which
now approximates 100000 900.
Most observers were dubious about
ehecting any savings on agriculture
because the pending farm bill will
continue and possibly increase benefit
payments.
Secretary Morgenthau has sug-
gested balancing the budget by bring
ing next years expenditures within
this years anticipated receipts Of
$3.50 900, 900. making a gross savings
over this years expenditures OF about
$500. 100000. Despite the economic
situation. he said next years revenues
should equal this years.
