32-Bi||ion Budget
Seen Next Year, With
19-Bi||ion Deficit
Defense Would Get Most
Of Record Smashing Sum-
Smith Opens Hearings
~ The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
Harold D. Smith. budget director,
today began the preparation OF a
record breaking budget for the next
fiscal year and 1t may cost the
Treasury $4,000, ,000,0 600.
The exact figure, however, will not
be known until President Roosevelt
sends it to Congress next January.
A $4,000, 100000 budget would
mean $4,000, 100000 more than is
slated to be spent this fiscal year. Mr..
Smiths task, however, Is something
more than arriving at huge total,
for financial experts hold that ex-
penditures on such an astronomical
scale will be possible only If defense
production reaches a tremendous
volume.
Defense Gets Most of 1t.
They explained that. in the last
analysis, the size of the new budget
will depend not on administration
wishes, but on the estimated amount
of munitions the Nations factories
can turn out. The cost of this pro-
duction plus certain routine Govern
ment expenses will write the total.
Defense is scheduled for about a
$25 ,OOO, 900 900 share of next years
budget, compared with about SIS
600 100000 this year. This fiscal
year will end and the new one begin
June 30, 1912.
Mr.. Smith declined to estimate the
size of the next budget, saying that
he has only begun hearings on de-
partmental requests. The first hear
ing, held yesterday, was for the In
terstate Commerce Commission. In
the coming weeks each of the scores
of Government agencies will present
and try to Justify their requests, with
the big Army. Navy and lease LEND
hearings waiting for December.
Procedure Outlined.
Late in December, the budget off,
ciaS and President Roosevelt will
revise the departmental requests, but
all the details will be secret until
the President sends his report to
Congress early in January.
Congress then must pass appro-
priations to make the Presidents
requests effective.
The revenue side of the budget
will depend mostly on the tax bill
now awaiting final action in Con-
gress.
Roughly, the new bill will add
SO 500 900 900 to the Federal revenues
of the next fiscal year. With reve-
nues from existing laws, the Govern
ment take" thus may reach $l3.-
600 ,000, 900 or more Mr.. Roosevelt
and Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau. however, already have
promised they will ask for still more
taxes next year.
I9-Billion Deficit Seen.
But the indicated deficit of ap-
proximately $4,000, 900 900, as well
as the spending and revenue fore
casts, all would set new records for
American finance.
The largest deficit of the. World
War era was s13,370, ,638 900. Unit
this year. the spending record was
S18, ,522 1895 900 and the revenue rec
ord was $6,694 565 900, both World
War figures. This year the spending
is estimated at $22 ,269 900 900, reve-
nues at approximately $l1,000, 900,
900, and the deficit at about $12,-
269, 900.

To Plan Air Raid Protection

The Q. G. D. advised that indus

stated.
A model protective organization
was outlined. including the designa-
ton of plant defense co-ordinator
for each factory and four division
heads to take charge of fire. police,

Fierce Battle RACES
For Alexandra
In Mock War
Second Army Gets Ready
To Push Drive; Enemy
Poised for Big Smash

Fy the Associated Press.
WITH SECOND ARMY IN LOU
ISIANA, Sept. 16.-A battle for
Alexandria, last major stronghold
of the Sd Army along the Red River,
ragged today in Central Louisiana as
the armored force of the I'd Army
slowed its drive southwark to allow
infantry and artillery to organize
their lines.
AS Gen. Ben Lear'S army swung
Its right flank down from Shreve-
port. virtually no opposition was met
and it appeared that by midday the
battle line would run westward from
Alexandria to the Texas border.
With advance infantry across the
Red River joined with the two
srmored divisions, the I'd Army was
in a position for a direct drive
south as soon as the heavy artillery
is put into place.
Cavalry Move at Night.
The l55-mm. hoWitZerS brought
up the rear movement across pom
toons and bridges of the Red River
from Shreveport to Alexandria, and
an entire cavalry division moved in
darkness to join with the mechan-
lied forces of the LIST Armored Corps.
Infantry and artillery, trying to
take Alexandria, found a stubborn
force holding tight. The city had
been captured early yesterday morn
ing, but Gen. Walter Krueger's in
fantry and mechanical columns re-
took it in a pitched battle in the
business district.
The two armies patrolled the river
shore last night, the I'd on the
west across from the city and the
Sd Army along the high levee pro-
tecting the city.
Whether the I'd Army would make
genuine effort TO take the city or
merely hold the Sd Army as a pro-
lection against a f1anking move.
Gen. Lears strategists would not
reveal.
Terrain Is Rugged.
The roadWays running into Alex
endria on the western side of the
river command vital approaches to
the southern sWamplands and afford
the only avenue through the almost
impossible Atchafalaya stretches.
1t was imperative that the ar
mored forces and infantry, deployed
along the 75-mile front reaching to
the Sabine River. be organized be-
fore a major battle is attempted
with the superior numbers of the
Sd Army. Even with the marshy
river protecting the west flank. the
I'd Army was alert for a move from
the 1st Cavalry Division of the Sd
Army, maSsed near Jasper, Tex.
Most of the enemy troops are in the
marsh lands of Southwest Louisiana
and in the thick Evangeline swamps.

There must be a glorious sea run

On over roads bordered with

wrought-iron gates and up a drive
way lined on each side with fine
hardwood trees.

some.
