Right 10 Cut Spending.
Bark|ey Declares
Could Hold Within
National Debt Despite
. Congress Figures
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Amid waning economy hopes
Democratic Leader Barkley Of Ken
tucky said today that President
Roosevelt could keep the national
debt below the $45, 5,00O, 100000 limit
even if congressional spending tops
that figure.
THE President merely could order
departments not to spend a per-
centage of their appropriations, "
Senator Barkley told reporters
THAT practice has been followed in
the past, and it would eliminate the
necessity for increasing the debt
limit or raising new taxes this year
The suggestion came at a moment
when the riddled economy program
faced a new bombardment In de-
Ynands for $500, 900 900 boost in the
budget recommendation for billion
dollar w. P. A. fund. A House Ap-
preparations Subcommittee tackled
the subject. calling w. P. A. Com
missioner Harrington for question
Ing about relief needs.
Blow to Estimates.
Congressional agreement to q
$500 100000 relief increase would be
heavy blow to Mr.. Roosevelt S
budget estimates. Although the
House and Senate have undercut his
figures for some items, they are in
the process of voting bigger funds
for others.
Despite pressure in some quarters
for a big relief fund boost, the
House Subcommittee served notice
that it had no intention Of exceeding
the budget estimate without direct
recommendation by the President
II then.
Representative Cochran, Democrat
of Missouri, an advocate OF a larger
w. P. A. appropriation, told the
House recently that unless more
money was provided, about 100000
persons would be dropped from
relief rolls before November.
The United States Conference OF
Mayors, headed by Mayor La Guardia
of New York, favors a 81 SOC, ,OOO, ,OOO
w. P. A. fund. House members from
urban districts said there was q
good chance" that amount would
be voted.
The House met an hour earlier
than usual in an effort to complete
action by nightfall on the $785 $780,
094 War Department appropriation
Carrying approximately 10000
for new weapons, additional seacoast
defenses and 81 more airplanes. the
bills total was $67 1857 $50 less than
Mr.. Roosevelt recommended and
S65, 5,474,l5l below the Army's funds
for the current year.
Quick Vote Expected.
In the Senate, leaders hoped for
a quick vote on the bill extending
the reciprocal trade program.
Meanwhile, a conflict of interests
between supporters of flood control
and rivers and harbors projects gave
economy advocates a chance of
staving. off a projected $4,000, 900
increase in funds for that purpose.
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of
Oklahoma, who cast the deciding
vote when a subcommittee added
$25 100000 for rivers and harbors
work yesterday, said he thought this
addition might endanger approval
by the full committee of a s30,0O0,-
600 flood control item. The sub
committee also tackled on SIS 000,0 ,000

State To Acquire Area
Around Swallow Falls
Tract Called The Most
Beautiful Natural Scenic
Spot in State

A 390-acre tract, lined with massive
hemlock and pine, within the Swallow
Falls State forest, soon will become
State property.
F. w. Besley, State Forester, has
announced the Board of Public Works
and the University of Maryland's
board of regents had approved the
purchase of the land which the For
estry Department has sought for more
than twenty years.
Called Beautiful Spot
"When the deal is consummated,"
Mr.. Besley said, at will be one of the
most important acquisitions the State
has ever made. The tract is the most
beautiful natural scenic spot in Mary
land"
The State Forester explained the
land was donated about quarter of
century ago to a Masonic lodge of
Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The
State has been using the land ever
since, but until now had been unable
to make deal with the lodge, Mr..
Besley pointed out.
Trees 100 Feet Tall
He said the land would be purchased
as soon as the Attorney Generals Of
flee has examined the title and drawn
up deed.
Trees on the tract are from three to
four feet in diameter and are more
than one hundred feet tall. The area
also is covered with beautiful shrub
berry.
Mr.. Besley said a CCC camp To-
Gated on the grounds would build
concession stands and construct a
large picnic shelter. The tract hence
forth will be known as the Swallow
Falls Recreation Area.
