Balancing Of Budget On Normal
Expenses Is Asked By Doughton

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-R-A
policy of balancing the federal bud
get on all normal expense" was
advocated today by Representative
Robert L. Doughton (D-NC) after
conferring with President Roose-
welt.
Doughton, who is chairman OF
the house ways and means com
mittee, said:
"Outside of increased nationa.
defense costs, it is my Individual
opinion that after effecting every
proper and reasonable economy,
we should raise sufficient additi,n II
al revenue at least to meet The
regular expenses of government. "
Treasury Secretary Morgenthau
recently appealed for new reve-
nues and an increase in the federal
debt limit.
Doughton indicated that part Of
the new policy might be to make
substantial savings on non-military
expenses. The defense program
and the improving business stu
alton, he said, ought to reduce un-
employment sufficiently to bring
relief expenditures substantially
below the 81, 400, 900, 900 which WPA
is expected to cost during the pres
ent fiscal year.
Saying that he was speaking only
as an Individual, Doughton assert
ed that I'VE ought not pass on to
future generations any debts that
we can take care of ourselves. -
Work of drafting a tax bill, he
said, had not yet been started by
the ways and means committee.
Elsewhere in Washington talk
was heard of a stiff upward re-
vision of the new excess profits
tax, and possible additional levies
