None Will Starve

In a short statement that ac,

months, Mr.. Roosevelt quoted from
his budget message to Congress
last January as a means of EN-
phasizing that mo one will starve.
In my budget message Il
said the economic situation
may not improve-and if it does
not, 1 expect the approval of
Congress and the public for addi-
tional appropriations if they be-
come necessary to save thou
sands of American families from
dire neer.'
Business conditions not only
did not improve, but gradually
grew worse. This made it
necessary to request additional
appropriations to provide work
relief for the unemployed and
to lay out a program of Fed

not only aid the unemployed
but would at the same time pro-
vide a needed stimulus to busi-

Other Items Lower

President. Miscellaneous internal
revenue, which is composed of
taxes on tobacco, liquor, gaso-
line, admissions, estate, gifts and
sundry manufactured items, will
produce $37o,OoO,OOO less than in

lower, while customs receipts and
collections under the railroad re-
tirement act will decline $81, ,OOO,-

In addition to borrowing money
from the public to finance the

Adams is not in that category. If
he is, Mr.. Roosevelt neglected to
tell the Coloradoans about it.
In Utah today the President
found himself confronted with no
real senatorial contest. 1t is the
home State of one of The bitterest
anti-New Dealers in the Senate,
William H. King, who has voted
against more New Deal legisla-
