 Sen. Byrd, speaking last night In New York, scoffed at MT. RooSevelt's statement that the deficit would be held to 46o5, 900 ,OOO at the end'of this fiscal year. Byrd predicted 1t would be double that figure.
 Chance for Economy
 Despite all these hazards, there appears to be a chance for economy If MT. Roosevelt insists. The only comparable situation during the Roosevelt administration developed in 1883 and later when he attempted to effect 26 per cent cuts in regular government expenditures.
 Conditions are similar now. Nor. genthau selected for the economy axe appropriations backed by some of the most numerous, effective and purposeful political groups in the country. Farmers are accustomed to congressional generosity because of aid granted when agriculture liter ally was on the bottom of the pile m ttHe depression plC.
 Relief recipients run into the many millions-there never has been an accurate count-and include mil- lions of voters. They can express their feelings at the ballot box.
 Public highways have powerful sectional support.
 One of the best organized and most clamorous front line battalions in the fight for bigger and better public works and relief appropria- tions is the National Conference of Mayors of which Tiorello H. La Guardia of New York is the leader.
 La Guardia and his mayors will mete here next week as congress be- gins its extraordinary session.
