A new railroad pension proposal
punched a $l00,000,000 hole In ad-
ministration revenue estimates today,
forcing Budget Bureau officials to re-
check Federal income and outgo for
this fiscal year.
Chairman Doughton OF the House
Ways and Means Committee, har-
monizing differences between the
Treasury and railroad management
and labor. introduced yesterday a rail
retirement program which would give
the roads and their workers tax re-
funds of about $50,000, 900 each.
Doughton said the new plan, de-
signed to replace the court contested
1885 retirement legislation, was ac-
ceptable to the carriers, rail brother
hoods and the administration.
The Treasury, objecting to a VOL
untary plan formulated by manage
ment and labor, originally contended
no tax refunds should be granted.
Although ignoring this. Doughton's
program would lift the tax rates to
meet Treasury standards.
In his January budget estimates,
President Roosevelt forecast taxes un-
der the 1885 act would put $l34 900 900
in the Treasury this fiscal year. The
revised retirement progral would
whittle this income to about $780,
900 900.
Fiscal officials said this was being
taken into account in the Budget
Bureaus recast OF income and spend
ing estimates.
At his press conference today Presi-
dent Roosevelt said he probably would
reach a tentative decision tomorrow
on the relief appropriation to be re-
Quested in message to Congress next
week
Estimates of the amount he will
seek for the fiscal year beginning next
July l generally have ranged from
SLIPS, 100000 to $500 100000 Ap-
proximately $2,o00,OOO,000 is expected
to be spent in this fiscal year which
ENDS June 30.
Preliminary figures revising last
January's budget estimates of receipts
and expenditures we're received by
the President yesterday from Treasury
officials. He will see the officials
again today He will begin writing
his message Monday.
The President referred inquirers to
the Works Progress Administration
when asked about reports there was
to be a seasonal cut Of 100000 in
w. P. A. rolls.
The estimates will fix the amount Of
new borrowing necessary between now
and July to finance Government. op-
erations. Morgenthau said yesterday
this financing would start Monday
with a $5o,o00oOo issue Of discount
bills. He did not say how many weekly
issues would be offered
Asked whether unsettled conditions
in the money market had prompted
the decision to issue bills rather than
long-term obligations, the Treasury
head replied only that he thought the
short-term paper "a proper way Of
raising money at this time"
The Treasury, meanwhile, disclosed
it had bought $l19,553, 900 Of Govern
ment securities to steady an cratic
market in Federal issues during
March.
This was record investment for a
single month and compared with
$5,oo0,000 in February and $4,000 900
in March a year ago. The purchases
were made from Government trust
funds available for investment.
The Federal Reserve Board, contin-
uing operations to maintain An "or-
derly market" reported it acquired
s28, 100000 in Government bonds dur
ing the week ended April IA.
