But such reduction in the civilian

Public Works Budget

The Presidents budget for 1916,
sent to Congress today, recommends
$279 900 900 for many projects, in

cilities for veterans and other war
related" construction. This is $685.
000. 900 mere than appropriated for
the current year.
No Federal building program for
the District of Columbia is recon-
mended in the budget, despite the
fact that there has been much dis
cussion Of postwar construction in
the National Capital to house the
Government here more adequately.
The President recommended ap-
preparations for the planning Of
public works which Congress has
already authorized.
BY the end of the current fiscal
year June 80, 1945, he said, detailed
plans will be ready for about 81 ,5O0,-
00o. 600 Of Federal public works, and
also will be substantially ready for
billion-dollar program of Federal
aid highways, half of.this road pro-
gram to be financed with State
funds"
The District of Columbia already
has been allocated by the Federal
Works Agency, a sum Of $2,974 ,602
as its share of the first $500 900 900
Of the Federal postwar highway pro-
gram, and details Of proposed con-
struction have been made public.
Pointing out that estimates for
the Public Buildings Administration
of Federal Works Agency for the
1916 year would provide for "criti-
cal repairs to Federal buildings in
the District" and the additional
cost Of handling communication
services for certain war agencies,
the budget message recommends
an increase from $2,500,000 this
year to $7,5O0, 900 in 1916, for the
repair. preservation and equipment
of public buildings outside the Dis
trict of Columbia on which no sub
stantial repairs have been made for
about three years.
PBA handles the operation,
maintenance, repair, preservation
and equipment of some 800 build
ings involving approximately A.
SOC, 600 square feet of floor space
in the District Of Columbia and
nearby Virginia and Maryland, the
message points out.
The Veterans Administration
would get an increase from SIT ,945, :
500 from appropriations this year to
s84 500 900 next year for hospital
and domiciliary facilities to care
for the growing list Of veterans Of

growth, the President explained, ol
the decline in expenditures.
Following a course indicated in hi,
message on the state of the Union
the President said he would pro.
pose no substantial change In tax
legislation at this time and he
stressed further that wartime taxes
must be maintained as long as large
scale war expenditures are neces-
sary." He forecast only minor tax
adjustments" when a major de-
cline" in war expenditures occurs
and expressed satisfaction that the
Joint Committee on Internal Rev
enue Taxation is studying the tax
problems of the transition and post
war period.
Postwar Employment.
Taking up the question of full
employment in the postwar period
Mr. Roosevelt stressed that large
scale demobilization can hardly be
expected to begin during the period
covered by this budget" but that
thought nevertheless must be given
to that eventuality.
Under the impact OF the war pro-
gram, he pointed out, So 1000 900 men
and women are employed in produc-
tive capacities, and 10000 900 more
are in the armed forces. Anticipat-
ing an employable figure of co.
100000 after the war, he pointed out
that this army would be in the job
market when Federal expenditures
are down to level Of perhaps $780,
000, 900 900 or even half that.
Full employment In peacetime
can be assured only when the reduc-
ton In war demand is approximately

mand from millions OF consumers,

year.
The construction plans are part Of
the $6.454 ,903 six-year building pro-
gram library officials hope to carry
out. In addition to the funds for
the Central Library Building, the
Budget Bureau estimates cover $685.

of which s671,836 would have been
for building program. These re-
quests included $500, 900 for work on
the Central Library structure.
The l946 operating expenses Of
the Library were set at $685., ,000-a
reduction from the $75o,494 orig
inally requested by Library oficials.
Appropriations for operating ex-
penses in the current fiscal year
total $4,000, which included al

Reconstruction Period.
Tax reform, wider opportunities
for business and development OF
human standards and the material
resources of the Nation" are essen
tialS for the reconstruction period
the President said.
Il shall from time to time submit
to the Congress recommendations
for legislative measures to imple-
ment our demobilization program
and to assure jobs for all returning
war veterans and discharged war
workers." he said.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that some re-
conversion of war industries may
become possible, dependent on the
progress of the war;" and he urged
further that every effort be made to
get full civilian use of plants built
for war purposes when they are no
longer needed for war production,
and to speed their transfer to pri-
vate industry.
An effective national employment
service was advocated as another
step, and the President expressed
hope also that Congress will give
early consideration to extension and
improvement of our social security
system, and will re-examine the
financial basis of the program"
Retraining of Workers.
For the reconversion period, he
said, assistance for travel and re-
training of war workers is necessary
AS the war progresses, MIR.
Roosevelt said further, I'VE must
hasten our plans to secure world
wide economic cooperation in both
the transition period and the post
war period. We have learned that
just as the United States cannot
afford to be isolationist in its polit-
ical philosophy, neither can it stand
the malignant effects of economic
Iisolationism."
With this preface, Mr.. Roosevelt
discussed the plans formulated by
the United Nations Monetary and
Financial Conference at Breton
Woods, N. H., last year for the
establishment of an international
monetary fund and an international
bank for reconstruction and de-
velopment, and urged acceptance of
these proposed agreements, and
legislation to permit the United
States "to make it's proportionate
investment in the fund and bank"
No estimate of cost was submitted.
Stimulus to Trade.
| AS further stimulus to trade. the
President urged that the lending
power of the Export Import Bank
be expanded.
The President also bespoke con-
tinuance of the Economic Stabiliza-
ton Act, which expires June 30.
THE fact that many businesses
and individuals have ample funds
for a buying spree necessitates
caution in relaxing controls" he
said. "The balance between in
comes, savings and expenditures will
still be precarious during the recon-
version period. 1t will therefore be
necessary to retain the machinery
for ALLEGATION and price controls as
long as certain materials and
finished goods are in short supply" /"

Welfare Board Asks
Total Of S1,940,000
|For Public Assistance

The 1946 budget of the Board of
Public Welfare asks $1,94o,ooo for
general public assistance, old age,
blind and dependent children relief
an amount which is $4,000 less
than the estimated expenditures
this year for the same work.
Before Christmas the board cut re
lief grants approximately 10 pei
cent on finding the number of relief
cases increasing rather than declin-
ing as had been expected. Since the
l946 budget estimates were prepared
many months ago, welfare officials
conceded that the 1916 estimates also
might prove insufficient.
The $7,723,000 welfare budget re-
leased today would grant the de-
partment 80 new employees at an an
nual cost of S50,520.
These new positions would be dis
tributed among the Children's Sery-
ices, Receiving Home, Industrial
Home Schools. National Training
School for Girls, District Training
School and the Jail.
The Children's Services would be
given two social workers, and the
Receiving Home for Children. one
administrative assistant, a guard
and an attendant. The Industrial
Home Schools and the National
Training School for Girls would each
be given property clerk, and the
training school physician and five
attendants.
As for penal institutions, the Lor-
ton Reformatory was listed for six
new clerks, dairyman and one
swinehead. The Jail was granted
a part-time dentist, two clerks and
four guards. A citizens committee
which investigated the Jail last year
called for increases in the number
Of guards and matrons and improve
ment of the medical department.
Operating expenses for child care
were given at 1856, 600, slightly less
