HUGE D. c. BUDGET
|. OPPOSED BY KING
Senator Favors Keeping Fig
ure for Next Year Near
$46,OOO,OOO.

The next District budget should be
held down as closely as possible tc
this years total of approximately
s46,000,000 to avoid placing added
tax burdens on the community, Chair
man King of the Senate District Com
mittee declared today on his return to
the Capital from Hawaii.
Senator King announced he would
start committee work on any local
matters that may be ready during the
special session, which convenes next
Monday, rather than wait for the
regular January session.
With this in view, he expects to
communicate with District oficials
this afternoon to see If they have any
proposed legislation they think should
be taken up Immediately. The COM
mittee also has a number Of bills lef,
over from the last session awaiting
consideration.
While Senator Kings legislative
committee does not handle the budget
1t will have charge. along with the
House District Committee, of revising
the tax program enacted last August
and the scope of this revision will de-
pend largely on the amount to be ap-
propriated. The budget still Is in
process OF preparation at the Budget
Bureau.
The expression by Chairman King
OF opposition to any heavy increase
In the total Of the estimates is In
accordance with sentiment recorded
Saturday night by the Federation OF
Citizens Associations, which took the
position that increased expenditures
should be allowed only in the highway
and water departments, which are
financed separately by water rates and
motor taxes.
Senator King recalled today tina,
he had opposed the gross receipts busi-
ness tax in the Districts new revenue
law and believes that II the same
amount of tax money Is needed next
year, Congress should look for some
substitute for the gross receipts levy.
The Utah Senator said he was moi
sufficiently familiar with the street cal
rate situation to pass judgment on the
recent increase from four tokens fpi
80 cents to six tokens for so cents
but plans to study the subject. :"

PARIS, Nov. "a source close to
the Duke and Duchess of Windsor said
today the couple had decided tenta-
lively Oh February as possible new
date for their postponed trip to the
United States.
TIL Duke and Duchess believe that
by that time "the criticism will have
subsidized" making the tour possible,
one Of their associates said.
The Windsors expected to remain in
Paris, at least until Armistice day,
when they may participate in memo
rial observances 'in completely un-
official capacity" their associates said
Dispatches from Austria were that the
Windsors might return to Vienna or
to the Enzesfeld castle of Baron Eu-
gene de Rothschild for short stay or
to spend the winter. Circles close to
the former King said his plans for the
immediate future still are indefinite.
1t was disclosed yesterday by -
sons close to the Windsors that the
Duke had sent message to oresi-
dent Roosevelt regretting he would be
unable to make his scheduled call at
the White House.
Special police protected the Duke
and Duchess during their afternoon
drive and assured them privacy at
their hotel. The Dukes associates
placed before him what they described
as evidence that his postponement of
the journey to America had turned
public opinion in his favor.
The Duke read the statement OF
William Green, American Federation
of Labor president, that he would be
welcomed by United States labor since
Charles E. Bedaux, American indus
trial engineer whose association with
the Duke was criticized by labor, would
not be connected with the tour.
LONDON, Nov. 8 Rl.-Charles
Bedaux, millionaire industrialist and
key figure in the controversy which
led to the postponement of the Amer
lean visit Of the Duke and Duchess of
Windsor, resigned today from the
Board of Directors Of British Bedaux,
Ltd, consulting industrial engineers.
The announcement of his resigna-
ton merely said it would in no way
affect the management of the, COM
pany.

There is little likelihood that

ing field came about when he was
sent a mile in the creditable time
of 1912. 1t was the longest work
he has done during his training
for the Derby, and it may induce
Trainer Bob McGarvey to start
him.
Case Ace appears to be just
what the doctor ordered for the
Milky Way Farm stable. On the
basis of his recent race here when
he ran away for three-quarterS OF
a mile, was brought back to the
starting gate and won all the way
in a 7-furlong sprint, he would
seem to fit very nicely in the pic
ture.
Case Ace would appear certain
to outstep the speed horses in the
race, like War Admiral and Pom
pooh. Reaping Reward and Mill
tary should be able to overtake the
rest of the field and, If Case Ace
gave up the job Of pace setting,
they would be in position to drive
on from behind.
Despite the fact that War Ad-
miral is strictly the horse to beat,
chances for a Milky Way victory
look excellent. Reaping Reward is
a cinch to improve over his Derby
trial effort, when beaten by Dellor.
Military shows all the marks Of q
slayer and Case Ace wouldn't sur.
prise one whit if he led from start
to finish.
You can probably guess from the
above that this correspondent is
picking the Milky Way Stable to
win the $4,000 heat.
