District Officials
Prepare 10 Cut
$62,916,577 Request,
Public Hearings
On Budget Estimates
Begin Tomorrow

The District Commissioners and
their budget officer, Maj. Daniel
]. Donovan, began sharpening their
pruning knives today as they con-
templated 194l appropriation re-
quests of their department heads,
which they found total $62 ,916,577.
This figure, more than a million
dollars above the sum anticipated
last week, before all the estimates
had been received, is nearly SIS
000, 900 above appropriations granted
for the present fiscal year. How
ever. the sum requested is roughly
s1,500,000 lower than the original
estimates of the departments made
last year.
The near s63,OOO,OOO figure does
not include trust funds, which will
be near 100000.
Public hearings on the estimates
are scheduled to be held tomorrow
and Friday. More than 20 repre-
sentatives of civic, business and
professional groups so far have re-
served time.
AS yet the Commissioners have
reached no definite decision as to
what figure the total requests
should be reduced to, but informal
discussion is that they will seek to
hold the total down to somewhere
near the s48,00o,0OO level of this
years appropriations.

SeapIane Tender Shifted
Under Neutrality Act

AS one OF its first moves since
issuance OF the neutrality proclama-
tions, the Navy Department today
made preparations to shift the sea-
plane tender Langley from its home
base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, to
Manila, P. I.
Carrying one squadron of IL sea-
planes, the Langley, it was said,
will be instructed to enforce the
neutrality regulations In the
Philippines.
The chief duty of the Langley
will be to observe that ships of
belligerent nations do not make
more than one call every three
months at Philippine ports or clear
q port within "a hours preceding a
ship Of another belligerent nation.
The Langley was the Navy's first
seaplane carrier, but later was
designated as seaplane tender of
the larger type. She was on the
East Coast following the feet
maneuvers in the Caribbean in the
spring, but subsequently was order
ed back to her home base at Pearl
Harbor.
No other plans have been made
at the Navy Department, it was
indicated, for other neutrality as
sig|!ments of naval vessels.

Mary Pickford, who doesn't smoke,
passed through Washington today
en- route to Virginia, where she
will be queen of the fifth an

morrow and Friday at South Boston.
She reported that Hollywood, half
way around the world from war
torn Europe, appears stunned by the
threatened loss of substantial part
of it's foreign market for motion
pictures. England and its colonies
alone often account for one-third
to one-half of receipts from abroad,
she added.
Production of many films is being
held up, pending determination of
scope of hostilities and the degree
to which commerce with belligerent
powers and neighboring nations will
be affected. These delayed pictures

Foreign Propaganda
To Be Fought Here,
President Says
Use Of Country
As Doto-G Gathering
Center Also Opposed
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt made known
yesterday that precautions would be
taken to combat propaganda aimed
at substituting Communism or die
tatorship for the American form Of
Government.
There also should be precautions,
he added at his press conference,
against use of this country as q CEN
ter for gathering of information
that might be especially useful to
nations at war.
Although Mr.. Roosevelt did not
disclose what steps he had in mind,
it was learned that the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation was inquir-
ing into activities of foreign propa-
gandists in connection with its cur
rent investigation of espionage.
Foreign propaganda was the sub
ject of special report recently
by the House Committee on un-
American Activities. The commit
tee said hundreds of agents for for
'eign government were flooding the
United States with propaganda
through every medium of COM
munication Of ideas" in an effort
to shape American foreign policy.
After asserting that American re-
sources may well become the de-
cisive factor in any war waged in
the world today, the report said
there appeared to be two major
grouping of nations attempting to
win this country to their sides.
"The first of these is the London
Paris entente, the second the Ber-
lin-Rome axis, and, in addition to
these, Russia is in a special cate
gory." the committee declared.
