| WASHINGTON. Oct. 10. (UP)
I President Roosevelt last night re-
viSed federal government budget
estimates for the current fiscal
year and forecast deficit of
$685.. 100000 by ncNt June 30, u
sum $277.OOO.OOO greater than he
predicted six months ago.
In summary issued by Acting
Budget Director Daniel w. Bell,
Mr.. Roosevelt confined himself to

during his recent trip through the
west.
The president blamed failure of
government income To meet eX-
pcctationS and legislation by con-
greSS which increased expenditures
by almost $25O.OO0,O0O for the
fact that his third estimate of
this years budget required an up

His figures indicated that the
gross public debt on June 30,
1888. will be approximately $37,-

tailed $36,42l.6l3,732. On Friday,

to predict a deficit of $llS,OOO,-

said he hoped to attain a layman's

mics and through liquidation of
assets of federal lending agencies
such as the Reconstruction II,

Speech Tonight Expected
To Be New Declaration
of Principles
ANTI-NEW DEAL
VIEWS AWAITED
By HARRY WILSON SHARPE

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. (UP)
Governor ALI NJ. Landon's adj
dress to a nationwide mass meet
ing over the radio" tonight may
serve the two-fold purpose Of re-
storing him as the Republican
party'S ranking spokesman and
the voicing of a new declaration
of principles behind which the en-
tire party can rally, political
Washington believed today.
The speech holds tremendous
significance for the COP. as a
whole, veteran political observers
say. They sum up the situation
thus:
The speech will be broadcast
over the blue network of the Ma
tional BroadcaSting company from
$3.50 to 10 p. m. (EST).
!. 1t will be the 1886 Rcpubli-
can presidential nominees first ut
terancc of any consequence since
his disastrous defeat by President
Roosevelt.
=. 1t comes as former President
Herbert Hoover is reaSSuming a
dominant role in Republican coun-
ellis, n role rightfuIly belonging to
Landon as titular head of the par
ty.
3. 1t follows series of con-
ference between Landon and Hoo
yer, Hoover and former Governor
Frank o. Lowden of Illinois, and
Hoover and Frank Knox, the Re-
publican vice presidential candi-
date last year.
i. 1t follows growing demands
of both young and old Republi-
cans, including Hoover, that the
party be purged of diehards and
rcvitalized so as to present a pro-
gram acceptable to a ma ority of
the nations voters.
5. 1t follows demand for an
off-year party convention which
was suggested by Hoover but
failed to arouse enthusiasm in
some circles. Landon was classed
among those opposed but his
speech may reveal him as "cOn-
ditionap convert.
He declined to announce his
topic, saying he chopped the voters
will be curious enough to listen
to what / have to say" but some
indication of it was given by Re-
publican National Chairman John
ID. NJ. Hamilton, who said:
Governor Landon's announce
ment that he will speak to the
voters of, the nation is of deep in
tercst to every Republican and to
other voters, irrespective of party.
who are opposed to the New
Deal"
This was interpreted to mean
that Landon not only will issue a
party rallying cry but finally will
break his silence on New Deal
policies. 1t will not be anti-New
Deal utterances, however, that
party leaders are waiting for.
The paramount issue, it is be-
lieved, is whether the former Kan
sas governor will enunciate new
set of principles to which all par
ty leaders subscribe.

(UP)-PreSidcnt Roosevelt told
the country last night that the
government must pare down its
heavy spending for unemploy-
ment relief or greatly increased"
federal taxes may be necessary to
balance the national budget.
Mr.. Roosevelt spoke over the
radio i'm behalf of community
chest drives for private charity
this winter, as Washington made
public his forecast of the 1888
fiscal year budget indicating q
$685., 900, 900 deficit, 100000
over his April estimate.
The president repeatedly prom
Used during his recent west coast
trip that government expenditures
and income would be made to bal

Last night. he urged the nation
in his speech from his country
home in connection with the an
nual community mobilization for

ity because:
The federal government with

various communities of the land.
81 say this because we all agree
that unless federal taxes are 70

the existing tax receipts.
although federal government
relief activities have to be cur

abatement Of state, local and in
dividual relief work. Indeed. local
and private activities must be i'm

Mr.. Roosevelt warned that the
country may be blinded by the

still exists for considerable part
of our population.
He said that need still is pres

''TheSe are the things" he said,
