National Defense
Budget Hits Peak
For u. 5. in Peace

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. CUP)-
President Roosevelt today asked
congress to appropriate a record
breaking national defense fund OF
S1,839. 100000 for fiscal 1941 to
finance unprecedented simultaneous
construction of 10 battleships and
boost Americas airfleet to almost
10000 planes.
No neace- time precedent for the
huge expenditure proposed by the
chief executive exists. Only in the
World war years of 1918, 1919 and
1920 did the nation expend more
funds for its land, sea and air
defenSes.
In addition to outright military
and naval costs of $1,839 900, 900
Mr.. Roosevelt proposed some $497.-
100000 of semi-defense and quasi
military expenditures which boost
ed the overall budgetary total for
defense and related activities to
SO, 1886, 1877, ,000-or about one dollar
out of every four proposed for fed
eral spending in fiscal 1941.

Economy Setup Provides
Two Billion Deficit for
Year: Farm Items SIoshed
Farm Expenditure
I+ems Reduced by
rs Per Gent

WASHINGTON, Jan. d.
UP) President Roosevelt
sent to congress today a 1941
fiscal year budget providing
4 tentative 25 per cent reduc-
ton in federal farm expenditures.
He set farm spending at approxi-
mately S1,171, 1888 for next year.
cut of $685. 900 from the ST.
5O4 ,696,386 budgeted for the cur
rent year ending next June 80.
However, the president asked out
right for 81, ,O46, 1851 and Indicated
he would add $125,000,000 to the
1941 farm budget by requesting an
appropriation of that amount at
later date to finance activities OF
the Farm Security administration.
If accepted by congress, the pro-
posed farm budget would mark one
of the sharpest cuts in agricultural
aid ever made. Last year the legis-
lators added 1888 100000 to the farm
budget over Mr.. Roosevelt's protest.
Mr.. Roosevelt proposed these ma
jor cuts in farm spending:
|
l. Elimination of farm parity pay
ments-$225, 100000.
| 2. Reduction in farm surplus re-
moval program-$25, 100000.
3. Financing of Rural Electrifica-
ton administration by reconstruc-
ton finance corporation instead OF
treasury 500 9,590,0oo.
4. Cut in submarginal land pur-
chases and soil erosion control
S16,320000.
5. Farm Security administration
retrenchment-$31 000 900.
Although the president said that
he was not suggesting abandonment
of parity payments, he added that
future events may call for some
appropriation to this end.

rot fully satisfied with the attitude
of Belgium and Holland and that
it probably would be "unneutral'
for Norway or Sweden to permit
the Allied powers to send important
military aid through Scandinavia
to Finland.
The warnings came in connec-
ton with the German press reports
that Great Britain and France
were rushing large war supplies to
the Firms and that 10000 French
loops would be sent to Finland,
where the defending troops report
ed that they had broken up or
stalled Red army offensives on all
fronts and driven the Russians back
to the eastern border with ex.
tremely high casualties.
Dispatches from the far north
report that foreign planes-believeo
to be British or Italian-had gone
into action against the Russian
troops in the Petsamo district.
There also were reports that

Roosevelt Names
Frank Murphy to
US. Supreme Court
New Appointment Gives
New Dealers Strong
Margin on Bench

WASHINGTON, Jan. a.
UP) = President Roosevelt
today nominated Attorney
General Frank Murphy as
lis fifth appointee to the
supreme court.
Senate confirmation of the lean
Michigan New Dealer as an asso-
ciate justice will put solid majority
of Roosevelt appointees on the court.
The president also nominated
Solicitor General Robert H. Jackson
to succeed Murphy as attorney gen.
eral and Judge Francis ]. Biddle
of the third U. S. circuit court OF
appeals to be solicitor general.
Deaths and retirements opened
five vacancies among the nine
places on the bench within less than
three years-all since Mr. Roosevelt
fought and lost his battle in the
spring of 1887 to reorganize the court
because he did not like its horse
and buggy" interpretations of the
constitution.
Mr.. Roosevelt is the first presi-
dent since William Howard Taft
to name five justices. His other ap-
pointments were Hugo L. Black in
1887, Stanley F. Reed in 1888, Felix
Frankfurter in 1889 and William
o. Douglas in 1899.
The 46-year-old Murphy succeeds
Justice Pierce Butler, who died in
November at the age Of 73. Like
Butler, Murphy is member of the
Catholic church. There is no other
member of that faith on the su-
preme bench.

speculation to increases in income,
estate and inheritance tax rates.
The budget for 1941 totaled $8,-
,000,000-a reduction of S675, 5,000,-
eco under the current years esti-
mated expenditures.
Mr.. Roosevelt forecast treasury
revenue at $6,150,000,000 - third
highest on record-and budgeted for
the governments 18th consecutive
deficit.
Relief costs were sliced to 81 1,433,-
100000, record low.
National defense costs are going
up to $1,839 100000 compared with
81 ,159 100000 in the current fiscal
year. The naval program is in
creased to 10 battleships, of which
six now are building, and the COM
bined air force will be increased to
10000 planes.
Government reorganizations saw
ings were estimated at a mere SILL

The budget, for the year begin
ming July /, 1910, was the last that
Mr.. Roosevelt will submit to con-
gresS unless he seeks and wins a
third term. The next budget, fol
the year beginning July l, 1941
will not be submitted to congress
until sometime after the next in
auguration. Jan. 20, 194l.
The budget message, read to the
senate and house by reading clerks
reported highest production ane
consumption levels in our history
but said agriculture still was moi
getting its proper share of the ma.
tional income.
Mr.. Roosevelt did not specify
sources of new revenue, but said
Il hope that congress will follow
the accepted principle of good tax
alton of taxing according to ability
to pay and will avoid taxes which
decrease consumer buying power.
The president feels that excise
or processing taxes would violate
that principle but that income tax
alton is on an ability to pay basis
There is talk of a -the-tax-
a system whereby an arbitrary per-
centage would be added to the net
liability of income tax payers.
Expenditures for the 1941 fisca
year were estimated at $8,424, 900 ,O0t
compared with $1,000 100000 in the
