WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt today submitted to
Congress a record-breaking ST.
500, 100000 budget which devoted
nearly S11,OOo,0O0,0o0 to this
democracy's utmost efforts for
total defense.
Even this staggering total

omitted huge sums proposed to be
spent on the Presidents lend-lease
plan for aid TO Great Britain.
Greece and China in their fight
against totalitarian forces.
Supplemental proposals for the
latter purpose. unofficially esti-
mated at around $4,000, 000. 0G0,.
will be submitted later, the Presi-
dent said.
So BILLION DEBT
The budget message forecast
deficit of more than SO, 200, 000. 900
next year, and a public debt OF
more than $4,000. 600, 900 by June
30. 1912, end of the fiscal period.
Mr.. Roosevelt suggested that
Congress wipe out the statutory
debt limit of the government, dis
missing it as only a guide rule
anyway. and not legally binding
against additional borrowing.
To help finance the spending,
Mr. Roosevelt said revenue from
taxation and other sources would
reach an all time high-nearly
So, 900. 100000.
AT the same time he urged Con-
gress to seek new revenues during
the coming year, recommending
progressive taxes out of a higher
level of national income" which,
he pointed out, is bound to result
from the defense program. In
fact. he predicted the national in
come will reach record-breaking
heights in the coming months.
CUTS RELIEF
So far as the fiscal year is con-
lcerned, however, the budget and
leXtra-budgetary spending antici-
lpateed under the lease-lend plan
undoubtedly will require a borrow
ing program in excess of $4,000
600, 900 in the next II months.
! As promised, the President took
a considerable slice out of nom
defense spending. Although fixed
charges tsfcr as interest on the
public debit will amount to 81. 200

current year, the so-called regular

seriously to consider what profess

way in the world.
His mother dissuaded him from

decided To become . surveyor.
A surveyors lot was anything
but . bed Of roses In those early
days and In that wild country.
But George probably made a
good selection of the line of activ-
ity for his youthful years.
It gave exercise to this mathe-

As Irving has told US:
Nothing ras left halt

And "to this day." says RideIing,
"the surveys he made for Lord
Fairfax and others are considered
good and valid"
Thus at the age OF sixteen
Washington became public sur
veyor Of Culpepper County.
Moreover. his life was not all
hardship.
He spent some time on his elder
brothers estate OF Mount Vernon,
and ne was frequently a guest nj
the estate OF Lord Fairfax. where
he was not only employed as a
surveyor but welcomed as q
friend.
At Mount Vernon and at Lord
Fairfax's home young Washington
met not only the besux and bellies
OF Virginia. but had opportunity
to talk with military men and to
develop a natural taste for soldier
Ing.
1t was, indeed, but natural that
he should have that taste.
He had inherited IL from his an
cestors who for generations had
fought for England.
Moreover. his brother Lawrence
had served In the West Indies
under Admiral Vernon.
Because of that service the
name Mount Vernon had been
given to the Washington estate.

Drastic Revision
In Tax Program
BY WILLIAM s. NEAL


WASHINGTON. May 8.-The
treasury's $3,5O0.0O0,O0O tax pro-
gram faces drastic revision by the
House ways and means committee
as the result of slashing attacks
on it by two high New Deal Of
ficials. committee members indi-
Gated today.
A scaling down Of treasury
proposals for tax increases in the
low income and middle class
groups, and elimination of many
proposed excise and nuisance
taxes appear likely. Excess pro-
fits taxes may be sharply boosted.
While endorsing higher taxes to
hold down prices and prevent in
flation, both Gov. Mariner Eccles
of the federal reserve board and
Leon Henderson, price admins
traitor, assailed many treasury
proposals.
