result has been that Greenberg has
become one Of the greatest slug
gers Of the game.
Greenberg criticized misinforma-
ton that had Baker responsible for
his success at the plate. In fact,
he pointed out that he sometimes
took Bakers signals but for the
greater part was IS per cent self
responsible. Hank added that he be-
lieved if he is to attain a high place
in baseball he should dispel the Bak-
er illusions, once and for all.

Budget Message Summary

MORE vitality important than his
Iva annual message on the state of
the nation was President Roose-
velt's budget message to congress.
In It he forecast a deficit of 81, $685.
129, 800 for the current fiscal year
which ends on June 30, and a deficit
of $94s, 606, 900 for the 1889 fiscal
year.
There was no promise that the
budget would be balanced in the
near future, the national revenue es-
Inmates being reduced because of
the depression.
Nearly a billion dollars was asked
by the President for national de-
Tense because of "world conditions
over which his nation has no con-
troll" and more may be called for
soon for the same purpose.

budget statement said:

1873, left it in committee for the

This was victory for the admin

about after President Roosevelt

Wheeler Hits I.C.C.

CENATOR BURTON K. WHEEL
- Err of Montana, chairman of the
senate railroad finance investigat-
ing committee, charged in state
ment that the interstate commerce
commission is using "trick rabbits"
in solving carrier problems.
He accused the finance division of
the I. c. c., which must approve
government loans to railroads be-
fore they are granted by the Recon-
struction Finance corporation, of de-
iberately violating the law and
"calmly gambling" on stock mar
ket increase to protect the taxpay-
ers' money" 94
Wheeler's ire was aroused by con-
ditions surrounding a loan of
5000, 900 by the RFC to the Erie
railroad and an $4,000, 900 RFC loan
to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.

into the purse of the party's ma
tional committee. At the dinner in
Washington President Roosevelt
pleaded with the nation to under
stand that his administration be-
ieves it is helping and not hurting
business by the drive against mo-
nopolistic practices. His talk was
rather conciliatory. He promised a
fight, but he called it cheerful
fight on his part, against mere
handful of the total business men
and bankers and industrialists who
can be expected to flight to the
last ditch to retain such autocratic
control over the industry and the
finances of the country as they now
possess"
At the New York banquet Jim
Farley staged the debut of Robert
H. jackson, assistant attorney gen.
eral, as a candidate for the governor

lawyer, who has attracted public at
tention recently by attacks on big

Because the grassy park where

Feared Capital
Was OUerbuiLt

From slightly more than 100000
the population jumped in two
years to 526,248 and there was
such a shortage of housing facil
tiles that the Government was
forced to build barracks for its
girl workers on the Union Station
Plaza.
The housing shortage created a
building boom and gloomy
prophets after the war walled that
the city had been overbuilt and
property values destroyed.
But when the New Deal came
to Washington the city again
found itself short of homes and
launched another building boom
which as yet has been unable to
catch up with the demand.
The citys real property was as
Sessed at $414,610,691 in 1918 and
today-20 years later-the assess
ment totals $1,171 ,330,921.
The commissioners spent only
$15,778,164 to operate the local
Government in 1918 and receipts
totaled $17,837,918. Today the
budget calls for almost $4,000, ,00O

Washington was worried about
its traffic problem 20 years ago
because there were 34,347 auto

istered.
Twenty years ago there were
10 900 street lights in Washington
and 1886 of them were illuml-

Company was working frantically

Seal Reaffirms RuIinq
Home Loan Banks
Realty taxable
Contends Exemption
Specified in Act
Does Not Apply

For the second time this year
Corporation Counsel Elwood H. Seal
ruled yesterday that the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board was subject
to District real estate taxation on
the office building OF the board
here.
In lengthy opinion placed be-
fore the District Commissioners, Mr..
Seal reaf1rmed position he took
on the issue last March, rejecting
the contention Of spokesmen for
the Federal agency that the District
is not local taxing authority"
under the meaning of the act ex-
empting the H. o. l.. c. from taxa
ton in specified particulars. The
Commissioners at a board meeting
today put their approval on Mr..
Seals stand.
The corporation has been ex-
empted from taxation on its fran
chiSe, capital, reserves and surplus,
its loans and incomes, but the act
states that any real property of the
corporation shall be subject to tax
alton to the same extent, according
to its value, as other real property
is taxed"
The H. o. L. c., however, argues
that the exemption clause was never
intended to subject non-proprietary
property. such as the Office build
ing of the board, "a wholly-owned
governmental instrumentality per-
forming functions solely govern
mental" to Federal taxation in the
District.
The corporation counsel answered
that if the board was to be relieved
of the real estate levy 1t could be
obtained from Congress in the form
Of an amendment specifically ex-
empting the H. O. L. c. once build
ing. He declared collection of the
tax would not impede the Federal
agency in performance OF its duties
and insisted that the District had
full authority to collect the tax.
The assessment made by the Dis
trict on the Office building of the
bank board, First street and Indiana
avenue NV, amounts to $685. 5,552,
which at the current tax rate OF
SITS per 500 would produce tax Of
s16,372. This assessment does not
include two lots adjoining the bank
building, which may or may not be
included in the levy If Mr.. Seals
ruling is upheld.

Smaller Corn
Crop Forecast

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. eUP)
Agriculture department officials
believed today that a reduction OF
$4,000, 900 bushels in the corn es-
innate would ease the pressure on
the new farm program.
A crop board forecast of corn
production of 2,454 ,526, 900 bushels
brought the prospective crop well
within the amount which Secretary
of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace
had estimated would be required
for domestic consumption and ex-
ports.
Hot, dry weather and grasshop-
pers were responsible for the un-
expectedly large decline from the
August estimate of corn crop
of 1866 ,221 1000 bushels. The FORE
cast indicated a crop 100000
bushels below last year.
