The Districts revenue eSti-
mates have been raised for the
current fiscal period by $445. 600
and for the year beginning
next July BY $1.l80, 900, 1t was
announced today.
These revisions by the Com
missioners' aides. over figures
compiled last July, have no
major impact on the city gov
ernment's fiscal outlook.
Today's report. which has
been cleared by the Federai|
Budget Bureau. raises the total
estimated revenue for the cur
rent fiscal year to 1924, ,373 900.
The 445.000 increase over the
earlier estimate was entirely in

CORY. the general fund.
For the fiscal year beginning
July /. the general fund rise
amounted to $1.140.000. There
was also q hike Of $4,000 in
the highway fund over the
earlier estimates.

Budget Oficer David p. Her
man. said the revision in this
years estimates would mean
that the city could lower its
planned requests to Congress
next January for a 81 million
Federal payment by the $445.-
COO increase.
The Commissioners earlier |
this year had decided to ask
for the 81 million, the differ
ence between the $32 million
authorized Federal payment |
and the $25 million actually ap-
propriated. This amount is |
needed. oficials explained, to
be added to available revenue |
Tor pay raises and supplemental |
public works items.
City officials said that the ef- |
feet Of the revisions for the
next fiscal year cannot be out,
lined because the Commis-
sioners' spending and revenue
recommendations have not been |
made public.
$ls Million Extra Needed
The Commissioners budget |
aides last September recon-
mended . $2e6 million spend-
ing program for the District |
next year. Under the pro- |
posals. about SIC million would |
be needed above the amount
available from current sources |
to balance this budget. The |
SIG million would come from
some combination Of tax in |
creases and q larger Federal |
payment to the city.
In making their recommen- |
dations to the Federal Budget |
Bureau. the Commissioners, |
however, also had before them |
budget proposals advanced at |
q public hearing. from advisory |
committees. and restoration |
pleas from department heads. |
Budget ofhcials today said |
that the upward revisions re- |
flected. in general, the con- |
tinuation Of favorable business |
activities here.
They noted that today's re- |
port showed that taxes on the |
gross receipts Of public utilities |
and banks had risen by $4,000 |
for the current year and by
$300.000 for the period begin |
ming next July /.
Another major item was

The value of the arms, almost
all Czech-made, is estimated to

Previously, authorities watch

Airport shortly after he ar
rived from Paris at 1910 am.

Mr.. Porumbeanu, appearing
nervous, said he hoped to see
Miss Benedict "as soon as
possible" He added that he
might take legal means" to
visit her if her family refuses
to let him see her.
Plans Peace Effort
He said he would exert every
effort to make peace with the
family.
Mr.. Porumbeanu said Miss
Benedict telephoned him the
day after she returned to New
York from Paris. and he phoned
her the following day.
He was asked about a state
ment by Miss Gambel's brother,
Douglas, 81, that she is no
longer interested in Mr.. Porum-

sure her feelings about me are
just the same now" as when
they were in Paris together de-

Before the news conference,
Mr.. Porumbeanu consulted pri-

he was very distressed over
