IN RELIEF
COST PLANNED
YPRESIDENT
IntsrnatIonal Newn aerviee

International News SERVES
President Roosevelt is hopeful Of
holding relief expenditures, pranci-
pally wPA, to 1887 ,OOO, 900 in the
fiscal year beginning next July l.
The President, members Of Con-
gress revealed today, has expressed
this hope since he conferred with
six governors who prot eSted
against the proposed rapid cut OF
WPA now under way.
To hold relief expenditures to
the figure set by the President, the
WPA must be cut from its present
level during the next fiscal year.
On the basis of past expenditures,
the Presidents figure would allow
for an average WPA personnel Of
100000 compared to also, 600 at
the present time.
Representative Taber of New
York, ranking Republican on the
House Appropriations Committee,
disputed Mr.. Roosevelt's prediction
of o balanced budget in 1928.
"The President estimates an
increase Of S1,50O, ,OOO,O in tax
and other receipts in the year
beginning July l, including $780,.
100000 social security taxes"
said Taber. "The estimate is
ridiculous. He estimated $780,
100000 receipts for the fiscal
year 1887. With eight months
past, we have little over half
that amount"
The Presidents relief message is
not expected to be sent to Congress
until after March IS income tax
payments have been compiled.
Under the plan laid down by
Harry L. Hopkins, WPA admins
traitor, the WPA will be cut from
100000 in February to 10000
in June.
Chairman Edward Taylor D)
of Colorado, of the House Appro-
priatfons Committee. asserted that
expenditures for relief cannot be
determined fer many weeks.
Can't Figure Ahead
I'VE will make every effort to
keep within the budget" he said.
II think our committee will. But
we can't say what relief needs will
be. With dust storms, drought and
millions Of unemployed, we can't
figure very far ahead.
While Mr.. Roosevelt will not
send his request to Congress for
funds to ruin WPA after July /
for several weeks, he has reiterated
his determination to bring the
budget at least within 1000 900
of balance in 1888.
Explains Relief Plans
"1t is expected that relief ex-
penditures can be held within the
budget limit" explained Repre-
sentative Rayburn, Democratic
leader of the House, following q
White House conference on the
budget. In his budget message,
Mr.. Roosevelt said that $1,537,-
100000 can be spent for relief and
still make possible a balanced
budget.
eff expenditures are held
down, the budget can be brought
within 500, 100000 of balance"
explained Rayburn.
Because Of the Presidents in
siStence that Congress provide new
taxation if it runs away" with
the budget, the President called
in Chairman Doughton CD Of
North Carolina, of the House Ways
and Means Committee, as one Of
the conferees on the budget.

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Sept. l.
Veteran air pilots disagree with
statements made at Nome yesterday
by the Rev. Bernard r. Hubbard.
The Glacier Priest criticised Point
Barrow for a rescue base for the
missing Soviet fliers. stating that
point is often iceo in, while VAIN
wright, 80 miles away, is ice free
most of the time, and also saying
there is very little probability the
missing fliers are still alive.
Noel Wien said: "As to wheth-
er the Russians are alive, that is
one persons guess and perhaps as
good as anothers."
"As to establishing base at
Wainwright, why there? All search
planes would have to pass Point
Barrow to reach the route Levanev-
isky and party are supposed to have
taken Ski equipped planes are the
best at Point Barrow and the base
there is better than at Wainwright. "

for operations"

 The two adventurers have trav- eled the rivers and creeks to Ber- ing Sea- They padded up the Hud- son and spent the winter at Fort Smith.

 Although they completed the trip six weeks ahead of schedule, they met with many adventures on their journey. At one time they travelled sixteen days without getting out of the canoe. They were forced to build ice breakers on the bow at Fort Smith to save themselves from the ice and to help the boat break through.
