VALUABLE CODES

Claim M a de They Have Been Recovered or Are
 Being Searched for

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5-Copies of important diplomatic and naval codes were lost when the Japanese bombed and sank the United States gunboat Panay. but informed offic- CTS expressed the belief they are safe from prying eyes aboard the Oahu. another vessel in the Amer ican Yangtze river patrol.
 It is understood that divers at the scene have or are now trying to re- cover the codes and other valua- bles.
 The navy codes and other confi- dential data are contained in books with leaded covers so they would sink to the bottom if dropped over side in case of emergency.

NATL. DEFENSE ESTIMATES TO
 BE INCREASED
Relief Expenditures Are Trimmed - Public
 Works Curtailed
IS DISAPPOINTED
 AT TAX RECEIPTS
President Plainly Indicates that Needy Families
 Not to Suffer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Presi- dent Roosevelt today sent to Con- gress his budget message in which he projected a new billion dollar Treasury deficit and a new public debt peak despite estimates of lesser spending in his forecast for the 1888 fiscal year and contemplated $539,- GOO zoo cutsin Government outlays, and conditioned reductions upon the upturn in business.
 The President cut the estimates for relief and recovery of one bil- lion, three hundred and four thou sand dollars, down to $841 ,356,600
 National Defense
 The President asked an increase of S34,300,0 to bring National De- fense spending up to a record peace time level of $991 ,300,000 in 1889.
 The President made no effort to conceal his disappointment over tax receipts and told the members of Congress that the outlook had been changed by the recent recession in business
 Estimates for National Defense expenditures projected increases for both the Navy and War Depart ments. This increase is $54 SAT ,000 over the regular appropriations for the current fiscal year ending June 30.
 Business Improvement
 The President, in his budget mes sage, said We hope the calendar year of 1888 will bring an im- provement in business conditions, therefore in tax receipts. The Treas ury is leaning on the conservative side and predicts some improve i ment over the present level but does not assume in it's figures that bus mess in 1888 will reach as high a level as in 1937 due to world con- ditions over which this nation has no control
 I may find it necessary to request additional appropriations for Ma tional Defense. If the economic sit uation does not improve I may ask Congress for approval of an appro- priation to save thousands of Amer jeans from dire needs this year.
 Public Works Curtailed
 I recommend that public works items be curtailed. These have am- ply demonstrated they do not pro- vide as much work as do other methods of taking care of the un- 
 In brief, the President calls for a budget expenditure of $6,869 000,- 900 with receipts estimated at s5,- 9l9 100000; net deficit of S949 ,600,- i 900 and the public debt at the end of the year at $38, 528,OOO, 900.

street TO the station.
Dick looked at her now and his
heart contracted. There was nc
one in the subway, no one in all
the world but Sally and himself
Sally was young and small and
her nose pointed straight to
heaven. Her eyes we're gray, ex'
cept when she laughed, and then
they were green like cats.
What's happened to the fliers?"
Sally asked.
Dick looked down at his paper
1t was folded at the baseball news
because he hadn't looked at the
front page. Now he reproached
himself.
The train Jared into the station
and. Dick followed Sally up into
the street. Sally worked at the
Equitable Building and Dick
worked next door at the unfin-
lShed Regional Trust, as one of
the assistant engineers.
HAD PART IN BUILDING
He looked down the street at the
great red trapeze rising gauntly
against the sky and for moment
his heart rose. 1t was a monu-
ment of steel work, that building,
and he had a part in it.
He looked down at Sally. "Riv.
eters bother you much?" he said.
"Deafening," she said. But
it's worth it. It's thrilling to
watch. The girls in the office
have a pair of field glasses to see
better. It's really the riveters that
make it worth while. They're
heroes, those men, every one of
'em."
She said good-by and passed in
through the revolving door. Dick
walked into the unfinished build
ing and for once the raw smell of
the concrete, the bark of the rivet
gun and the wild flash of the weld
ing arc failed to excite him. His
mind was all on Sally.
Dick walked up to the conStruc'
ton shack.
He opened the door and saw
Dan Andrews shuffling through
blue prints. Dan whirled around
his lank body as Dick came in,
Where in thunder's that twenty
fifth floor plan?"
Dick found 1t quietly. He al.
ways knew where things were. NC.
Clinton, the chief engineer, came
in and glanced at Dan.
you've got to test fast today,
he said. You're behind and the
men are racing. It's going to rain
and they want to get as much
done as they can"

HE CAN HANDLE 1T

0One dS C11Gy Call
HE CAN HANDLE IT
He saw Dick and nodded. "Crim.
minis, you go help Andrews. I can
handle the office until noon"
Dan led the way into the spat-
tered wooden hoist that took them
to the twentieth floor. From there
on they walked up three flights Of
temporary stairs. e.'
When they reached the top there
were two lengths of ladder that
would take them to the top of the
building. Dan climbed fast and
easily and carefully Dick followed,
AS they came out on the tenn
porary top of the building the
wind blew harder than ever. There
were no walls, no ceiling. There
was just the newly set steel with
loose flooring of boards.
They were on the same level
with the riveters and Dick could
see the heater with his forge in
the center of the building. To his
right, perhaps thirty feet away,
were the rest Of the gang.
They stood on a small platform
Of loose boards that was slung
against the new steel columns.
Dick held his breath. The men
worked at the very edge Of the
building.
The gunman leaned forward
with his pneumatic hammer. The
noise as his gun hit the rivet was
sudden, incredible. It hit Dick like
a blow. He looked at Dan and Dan
grinned. Some noise" Dick said
and his own voice sounded feeble.
Dan moved across to one of the
columns and began inspecting the
rivets. He hit the round head a
neat, expert crack with a wrench
and listened. The rivet was sound
and he hit the next one.
MUST TEST BEAMS
At noon they had most of the
rivets tested except the ones that
had just been done and the pro-
truding steel for a balcony on the
floor below. AS they went down
the ladder to lunch Dan stopped to
look at it. These beams are the
only thing on this floor to test" he
said. They just finished 'em yes
terday."
When they had finished their
sandwiches Dan went back up
stairs and Dick started to catch up
on the mornings work. There
was plenty to do. Notes to be
filed. Prints to go back to the
office. Specifications to get in
order, Dick shivered as he thought
of Dan still working on the twen-
ty.fifth floor.
It was five-thirty before Dick
was through and the building was
nearly empty. Dick knew it was
too late for Sally and he stopped
to ask the watchman if Dan had
Gates shook his head. "Ain't
seen him." he said. HE amt quit
yet"
Dick thought Of Dane alone on
the wind-swept roof and his throat
stiffened. For a moment he hest
tated. It wasn't his business, he
told himself, and then he knew
that it was. He walked quickly
into the hoist. Last trip up," the
hoist boy said.
20, K" Dick said shortly. Well
walk down."
At the twentieth floor Dick got
out and began walking up the
stairs. At the foot Of the first
ladder he nearly turned back. 1t
was a wild goose chase No one
in his right mind could still be
working. It was blowing a gale
and the rain beat cold and taste
