lowed brief talk by Capt Herbert

eliminated from House bill, but
that he hoped the fund would be
restored.

He stated that the proposed I'M

that section during the peak hour,
he declared. The director also
spoke on the needed changes at
Dupont Circle and at Fourteenth

than ever when the new airport

completed.

that such legislation constituted q

Mr.. Smith emphasized in his first
public utterance as budget director
that he was not suggesting that an
unbalanced budget could be made to
work continuously, adding:
"As a matter of simple arithmetic,
the budget must obviously be bal
anced over the long run. What
am saying is that there is some
period over which it is advantageous
to incur deficit, and another
; period over which compensating
budgetary surpluses must be ac-

rocked today by a sensational
Rome radio broadcast pledging full
support of the Axis Powers to

Britain.
tThe Rome broadcast was a
commentary on Fire Prime Min

The Italian radio said that In
such contingency the Irish peo-

every assistance by the Axis
Powers "at their comrnand.")
RESIST PRESSURE
Dublin quarters insisted that
neither such overtures as the Rome
radio broadcast nor economic
pressure fro neither side in the
European war would swerve the
government from its neutral
course. II was asserted that new
British restrictions on exports OF
oranges. lemons, fodder and other
commodities would not include
Ireland TO grant the British navy
use of Irish ports as bases.
At the same time the Fire gov
eminent imposed severe linrita-
