ION Oct. 1, 1888, Russian paper
alleged that Lindbergh had said the
German air force could defeat the
combined forces Of Russia, Britain,
France and Czechoslovakia.
"A few days later Hitler gave
Lindbergh an award with the i'm

thought it should have been the

Americans as I do, I think they will
know what to sdo with his speech,
too"
The Sunday Express headline was
"Hitler's medal goes to Lindbergh's
head" and added that Lindbergh,
"fervent admirer of Nazi strength,
is now apparently developing a Hit

The Sunday Chronicle said Lind

that "the Hitler technique now

Cassandra derided Lindbergh's
claim to fame, denounced him as
"the flying Yankee Hitler" and con-

"And if you don't understand what

Otner recession problems. IL Cney are
wrong, some Of the administrator
pressing fiscal problems win begin
to take care Of themselves as tax
payers make first installments to the
treasury on their 1899 income. First
payday will be March IS, next year.
Recession Would Hurt
Another recession would duplicate
some recent United States history
recorded in 1887 and 1888. Business
recovery collapsed in the autumn of
1887 causing the administration sud-
denly to abandon its economy pro-
gram for more shot-in-the-arm
spending, bigger relief appropriations
and bruising battle with congress
sional conservatives over these poll
cies.
But as Of today the immediate
business, budget and treasury pros
poets are entirely cheerful. The in
dex Of industrial production hit ITO
in September, according to govern
me ntexperts, and probably has ex-
ceeded 100 by now and may reach
125-130 before q recessionAif any
reverses the tide.
Biggest Business News
That Is the biggest business news
in 10 years. The highest industrial
production index in 1929, a boom
year until the collapse Of October
and Noevmber, was 119.
TN that year." says Editorial Re-
search Reports, "the national income
was $S1, 100000, 900. So a production
index for 1910 of 125, might result
in national income of $85 ,OOO,-
100000 Or even $4,000, 900, 900 fol
1940."
President Roosevelt prescribed q
national income last January in his
budget message as the remedy fol
unbalanced budgets. Neither the
president nor Congress has discov-
cred any large item Of spending
upon which they can agree to econ
omize and it appears that the only
way the budget will be balanced will
be for national income, upon which
taxes are levied, to increase ire
mendously.
This Years Budget
This years budget was based upor
expectation of a national income
somewhat less than $4,000. 900 ,00(
annually and a tax revenue of S..
670, 100000. But without raising 9
single tax rate, treasury income
.. would increase as a national income
increased. With national income al
$50, 000, 100000 year, treasury ta1
revenue would aggregate 100000.
600, Mr.. Roosevelt said, and on $780,.
600, 100000 q year, the treasury
would exact SIC, 500, 000, 600 in taxes
Something above $4,000, 000, 900 {
year in tax revenue might be ex.
pected from sustained industrial pro.
duction at an index rate Of 125 be-
cause national income with business
at that level probably would b.
around $85 900 ,0O0, 900 to 500, 600, 000,,
600.
The foregoing is the brightes
treasury outlook In the years of tn,
Roosevelt administration. The gov.
eminent could live within Its mean.
on an income of IS, 900, 000, 900 a veal
although little if any would be avail.
able for retirement Of the nationa
debt which now is headed towarc
SAL 100000, 900. The only shadow OF
hopes Of a balanced budget is tn,
fear that the current boom will no
last.

lowing statement: I'VE wish to re-
pudiate a statement in the Water
bury American of Oct. 10 that "the
Independent Democrats also will
support Scully in the election if he
turns back the bid of Senator Cul-
hane. This is an unauthorized
statement and we, the undersigned,

nounced that other members of the
+. D. town committee could not he
reached.
May Aid Scully
The action Of the 26 members of
the Democratic town committee
should be Of considerable aid to the
Scully cause, since presumably the
committeeman will work in the cor
poration counsel's behalf in their
respective districts between now and
the primary.
Culhane hackers are nevertheless
confident of victory, claiming that
the senator has strong support in
every section Of the city. They went
ahead with organization work in all
80 voting districts.

named chairman of the finance

seph Mulville is treasurer of the

terday afternoon voted to endorse
Attorney Scully's candidacy for the
nomination. The Young italian
Democratic Club, of which Domenic
Barbieri is president, is backing
Senator Culhane. Support of other
racial groups is being sought by
both sides.
