Lieut.. Col Webster T. Putnam,

rumors recently when he issued
an official statement which gave
assurance that there were no re-
strictions whatever on the Over

Smith Predicts OutIoy
Of $l5.500, ,0oo, 900
This Fiscal Yeor
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press
Harold D. Smith, Budget Director
predicted yesterday that expanding
defense expenditures would reach .
rate Of $1,000 900 600 . month by
September.
This acceleration, he said. should
make good recent estimates that
defense costs this fiscal year will be
t15.5oo. 900 900.
Reviewing the last fiscal year,
which ended June %. Mr. Smith
said $6274, 4,00o, 900 WAS spent for de-
tense. The spending rate was $807,-
100000 in June.
Il have just spent three and half
weeks visiting defense plants" Mr..
Smith said, and I got the definite
impression that We are going to have
. pretty sharp step-up in production
pretty soon
Every Agency Spends for Defense.
Although noting that the defense
total Of the last year was $3.50 900 900
short Of the budget estimate made
last January, Mr.. Smith said 1t
failed to reflect other millions of
dollars of defense work ,being done
by nominally non defense" agen-
eies.
The defense totals include only
the Army, Navy and q few obvious
defense agencies" he explained.
But nearly every other department
of the Government is spending q
larg part OF its money and time on
defense.
Take the Federal Power Com
mission. for example. That agency
has reoriented nearly its entire
work 10 facilitate defense. But the
cost Of It still appears rs . nom

Of Investigation is another ex-
ample"
Strikes Not to Blame.
Mr.. Smith said no single reason
could be assigned for the fact that
last years defense costs were some
what under estimates. Strikes, he
said, were no more to blame than
management failures, and probably
the best explanation was that the
estimate was too optimistic.

sons between the budget estimates

THE Constitution says nothing about how
the President shall be inaugurated into
office. so the first Inauguration, in 1789, had
to set its own precedents. One precedent set
then has never been followed-that of swear
ing in the President -elect on April 80.
The new Government was supposed to get
under way on March 4, but members OF
Congress were so dilatory about taking up
their new duties that neither House had
quorum when March rolled around. And
until both Houses had quorum no business
could be transacted and the new President
could not be inaugurated.
Washington was almost the richest man
in America at the time, so far as possessions
were concerned, but he was land poor, as we
should say today, ard was lacking in ready
cash for his journey. He had to borrow
money from friends to be able to set out for
his Inauguration.
The first President was inaugurated in
New York; the city of Washington had not
vet been selected as the site of the Govern
ment. Washingtons trip to New York was
in the nature of triumphal procession. He
was accompanied by citizens of one city
until citizens of the next city on his route
met him, to escort him in their turn. AT
