100000 under those for the present fiscal year. These include big cuts Al things which 0 congressman hates to cut in an election year - fnoney for roads, for various forms Of relief, for agriculture, for the government payroll generally, and ro on. Congress will be under tree fnendous pressure to go above the estimates, and will almost certainly do 60.
 CONGRESS- DOUBLE
 DILEMMA
 But the catch in 1t - the thing that really makes 1t Q fast one --isn't the fact that the President would then be able to turn to the ' country and say, Well, I tried to reduce expenditures but Congress Wouidn't 70 along" The real sticker as the fact that the law sets the limit to which tho federal govern. naent's debt may rise ct $A5,0O0, ,00O,- O0O.
 Listen, now, to the canny way the President figured this one. If the presidents budget should be adopt- Cd in toto, the total government debt at the end of the next fiscal year would be just @62,000, 900 under that legal debt limit of 46 billions.
 But if Congress spends more - If 1t goes only 903, ,000, 900 over his bud. eet--it must, ct the same time, vote to raise the debt limit. Which is the one thing above all others that q congressman approaching c re.elec- ton fight would truly hate to do.
 The President, in other words, gets himself out of tight corner. IIe avoids the necessity of having to ask for Q raise in the debt limit . |. |. he hands in sharply reduced bud- get and he puts the burden for both things oil the shoulders of Congress. If there isn't plenty of back-spin on that one, just try to think Of Q trickler one.
 A EE0ACY FOR
 SOMEBODY ELSE?
 There's this to think about, too siiAt third term angle.
 Assume that President RooseveltS budget Is adopted. It covers the period from June 90, 1o40, to July |, l04i. The President who iS In ofsice next winter-the one who is elected next fall, in other words is the gent who will have to do the worrying about what is spent after July l, ie4i. And that President will find himself with public debt that Is within whispering distance of the legal debt limit, and will either have to balance the budget or ask Congress to raise the debt limit,
 Doesn't that sound very, very much is if MT. Roosevelt figured that somebody besides himself was going to Do President next SHOOTS WORKS
 ON RECOVERY
 Meanwhile, 1t is worth noticing that the budget Is based on hope.
 Relief expenditures are cut sharply. This the President frank ly admits Is based on the hope that the present business upturn will continue.
 If 1t does, all well and good. It lt. doesn't - if c recession appears, or even # the curve of business im- movement merely levels out and things stay as they are now - the money budgeted for work relief and tor farm aid Just won't be enough and supplementary appropriations will have to Do asked latc this spring. And If the President does that, he must either get back into his tight corner by asking for c raise in tho debt limit. or get Con- gress to vote new taxes.
 Obviously, the President Is shoots ing the works on tho hope that business is going to continue to aain.

'Steam-RoIIer Charge
 Against Pryor Refuted
Recent Probate Court Tilt in Greenwich Explained;
 Young COP. Voice Confidence in National Com.

New York, N. Y., Oct. 3l -- A flat contradition to charges that he was steam rollered" by the Green wich Republican Town Committee under the direction of Samuel F. Pryor, Jr, Eastern manager of the Republican National Committee, in the October probate court contest in Greenwich, was made today by l.. Paul Burke, of Greenwich, Re- publican member of the Connecti- cut State Legislature from that town for the past three terms.
 Describing as "an unqualified lie" a story printed Monday morning on the Battel Page of the New York Daily News which was sprepared by the Democratic National Commit tte, MT. Burke came to New York today to denounce the article.
 Repudiating the 'Gboss" charge levelled against MT. Pryor in the Battle Page article, MT. Burke said the fact was he was encouraged to enter the probate contest by MT. Pryor and was given MT. Pryor's assurance of a fair contest.
 Refutes Boss Charge
 "Sam Pryor has been friend of mine for many years and know he has never attempted to boss any one," Burke said today. 'sFollowing MT. Pryor's election as Conencticut

STARLINCS SCRAM,
 EVERYBODY HAPPY
Curtin's Plan of Planting Gagged Chicken; Hawk
 in Trees Successful

Thousands of starlings abandoned headquarters on the Green last night when Superintendent of Parks James J. Curtin, struck by bril- liant idea, planted a caged chicken hawk on one of the trees. To the sounds of the hawks piercing screams, the starlings spread their wings and flew away, but not with out dropping a few farewell bombs.
 Superintendent Curtin's hawk, arch-enemY of the starlings, was raised by him through the long summer months. and was given a special kind of food, guaranteed to make the fierce bird screech like Satan himself. When Curtain be- ieved the hawk was big enough to plant in the trees, he conceived the idea of a cage, and tried out his experiment last night. The starlings Scrammed.
 Curtains idea is to leave the hawk in the tree for couple of days, to give the starlingS' scouts the idea that the bird has taken permanent headquarters. Then the hawk would be removed and held for an emer- gency.
 Last year an owl put the starlings rout, but when the night-bird left the Green, the starlings returned. Curtin's idea is that the hawk is so much feared by the starlings that one look is enough to make them flee for good.
 P.S.-Jimmie is keeping his fling CTS crossed, the starlings may re- turn for a weekend visit or to seek new lccatiSns.

Although heavy rains recently
made the Potomac near and below
Washington extremely muddy, bass
fishing is not out of question. If you
are willing to travel 65 miles or so
you can find some fair midsummer
fishing up in the hills.
Strangely enough, with the water
hereabout so muddy you almost can
walk on it. our daily river report
from Harpers Ferry says that both
the Potomac and Shenandoah are
clear at that point. Another report
from Williamsport says the river at
that point is clear and low, which Is
strange, indeed, after so much rain.
1t must be that the Monocacy, which
becomes muddy after heavy dew, is
bringing all the mud into the Po-

Fish Above Harpers Ferry.
So if you have bass fishing in
mind and must be satisfied, you
might try some of the Potomac spots

is the best, for cool weather brings
in the big ones. However, some fish
can be had. Fish the deep holes and
skip the rifles because rifle bass
this time of year are small creatures
The big ones want the deep, cool
spots. Finding the big ones in deep
holes often is difficult with artificial
plugs and bats and you may have
to switch over to live bait.
There are some bats on the mar

Chincoteague is making a de-

sirable boats and better docking IA
cilities. There are four or five ex-
pert deep sea guides docked there
this season, headed by the veteran
John Cass of Miami, who pioneered
this fishing in Virginia waters only
last year. That was the first time
it really was tried there, yet at the
end of the season Capt. Cass had
landed 54 marlin, quite an achieve

erto unexplored waters.
