Fiscal officials believe that the
budget can and should be balanc-
ed as closely as possible for the
fiscal years 1937-sS. In fact, with
contemplated expenditure of
around seven billions dollars next
year they do not foresee discrep-
ancy larger than one or two hum
bred millions, which would be
small enough to consider practice
ally balanced budget. Relief
costs are not entirely known and
it seems certain that new sums
will be needed for this purpose
before June 80 and that the relief
agencies will start the next fiscal
year without much cash.

Heretofore the policy has been
to require employment Of relief
labor where available" and
where workers could meet GER
tain standards of efficiency. Even
SO, however, contractors found re-
lief labor unsatisfactory and oft

understands that when the PWA
made 4 grant for the construction

from the rolls of the WPA. This
type of work should not be con-
fused with the program Of the
WPA itself which has been MAX
ing grants for a part Of the ma
terial required on jobs. as well as
providing labor for approved
projects.

Some officials believe that the
new regu alton will mean the end
of the PWlA projects in many
areas where there are shortages
of skilled labor ON relief rolls.
The Presidents chief purpose, It
is said, is to eliminate any OBJ

The return of prosperity was
counted upon to bring tax re-
ceipts up considerably and thus
speed the balance desired. How
ever, income tax payments in
March, it seems, will be more
than 500, 100000 less than the
$500, 100000 expected, that the
June collections viii also be short
and that the years taxes will not
come up to the s2,373, GOO, 900
anticipated by the President in
January. Whether later returns
will alter this outlook remains
uncertain.
The Naval Appropriations bills
carrying more than five hundred
million dollars for the fiscal year
1888 has been passed by both
houses and, although minor differ
ences remained to be agreed upon,
assures a continuation of the pres
ent naval policy Of the United
States. The bill provides $780,
100000 for the construction of
fighting craft, including two 35-
ton battleships, eight new de-
stroSers, four submarines and
takes care of the cost of construc-t
ton during the next fiscal year
on total of eighty-one ships Of
al types. The battaeships, the
first to be INSTRUCTED in many
years, will cost about 10000, 900
each but only $15,179,05 is in

STEPS TAKEN
AGAINST NEW
BABY MALADY

CHICAGO. Dec. 6. (UPl-A first
step by medical science toward con-
troll of the virulent, unknown dis
ease which has taken the lives of
II newborn and threatens seven
others at ST Elizabeth's hospital
nursery was revealed today by a
staff pediatrician.
The accomplishment was describ-
ei as a minor refinement of techni-
que of treatment" but physicians
hoped it might aid in saving the
lives of the infants still isolated
in the nursery ward.
The malady, characterized by
acute inflammation OF the intes-
final tract and usually fatal within
"a hours, has baffled pathologistS
and toXicologists. Physicians have
recognized the ailment only in re-
cent years as a new and distinct
malady.
As the death o. the eleventh
victim was announced. DR.. Ben
lamin Levin. head pediatrician of
the hospital staff, said a means had
been determined to offset exhaus-
ton of bodily fluiis-one of the
principal symptoms.
We have found a way to counter
oalancS such deficiencies by blood
transfusions and saline infections"

too far"
