ROOSEVELT, IN DRIVE FOR ECONOMY, TO FIND FUNDS LEAKING AT MANY PORES Waste Scattered Over Vast Area, With Few Short Cuts to Cure Likely; But Job Must Be Tackled. rnllowin* I* the swoond of the erte* describing the taxpayers’ dollar and where it oes. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER t'nlted Press Staff Correspondent fCoDvriaht. 1933. bv United Press i WASHINGTON Jan. 4. —When President-Elect Franklin I). Roosevelt takes over the management of the world’s biggest business two months from today, he will find it an overgrown establishment, leaking at many pores. For instance, he will find one bureau spending $1,750,000 on wild life. At the very same time another department is sending up an alarm over the discovery that 300,000 to 100,000 homeless American !

youths, most of them under 21, are wandering helplessly about the land, scavaging on thin leavings of a four-year depression. Mr. Roosevelt has set for one of of his first objectives the execution of the Democratic campaign pledge to knock off $1 in every $4 of federal government expenses. This is expected to be one of the questions he will discuss with Democratic congressional leaders in New York Thursday. The first difficulty Iho present administration encountered in attempting to economize was the fact that the leakage was scattered over a vast area. It is hidden, camouflaged, mixed in with sound and necessary expenditures. Few Economy Short Cuts Like the parasites of nature, political parasites tak on protective coloring, and pass unnoticed except on close search. Other millions are spent in ways that were desirable when they could be afforded. Like music lessons or trips to Europe, they arc advantages that can be dispensed with when millions of men, women and children scarcely can find food and shelter. When Ihe incoming administration starts checking up on the $3,775,000,000 being spent this year, it will find what Mr. Hoover found —that there are few' short cuts to economy. But Democratic leaders here are convinced that no matter how laborious the job, it must be tackled. Otherwise, they will be compelled to raise taxes again, in spite of the fact that the American people are earning a third or less of what they were four years ago. Budget Is a Big Book This, roughly, is a general statement which covers the thousands of facts tucked away in the budget. . The budget is set down in a book twice as large as the Washington telephone directory. It is the government bible. It contains a thousand pages, and is almost two inches thick. This volume mentions every item for which government money is paid It gives some idea of the complexity of the federal government and Ihe extent to which it has reached out into every walk of life among its citizens. The index contains 3,500 entries. As if the indexer was ironically tracing the cycle of the average taxpayer from the Elysian days of 1929 to the bitter ones of 1933. this index begins with Acadian National park and ends with "Zoological park. National.” How Dollar Is Spent The first stubborn facts that President-Elect Roosevelt will bump hard up against are found in g series of black line charts on page A3. There the taxpayer’s dollar is broken up into small change. The SIOO in taxes which the man of moderate means paid to Washington last year, is being spent, about as follows: National defense. ml ary pensions, life insurance, etc $43.13 Debt. interest and debt, retirement.. 33.3 ft Public improvements 3.22 Promotion of marine transportation.. 1.35 General and other civil functions . . 16 69 Refunds 2.26 GIRL TRIES TO END LIFE Drinks Arid; Reported in Serious Condition at Hospital. After writing letters to her parents. Wessie Boyd. 21, of 323 Osage street, attempted suicide early this morning by drinking a quantity of acid. Leonard Suddith. 24. by whom Miss Boyd is employed as housekeeper, told police he attempted to knock the glass from her hand. She was taken to city hospital where her condition is reported serious.

MOVIE CONTEST AWARDS MADE Many Answers Incorrect in •Strange Interlude’ Competition. The judges in The Indianapolis Times-Palace theater "Strange Interlude’ contest found that few correctly identified the movie players in the three layouts that appeared in The Times. The most serious stumbling blocks were Purnell Pratt in the third layout and Lionel Barrymore in the first. In the second layout the answers generally were correct. The judges did not have to consider the essays, for this reason; the judges awarding pairs of tickets first to those having only one wrong, then two wrong, etc. A total of twenty-five pairs of tickets to "Strange Interlude” were awarded, as follows, to those with all correct.

LEAGUE HONOR AT STAKE

Defiance by .Japan Will Test Power

The Birth of the League of Nations Idea—This sketch of a history-making scene shows President Wilson maknig his speech before the peace conference at Pairs on Feb. 14, 1919, when he read the covenant of the League of Nations. Seated around

This is the first of three stories on the League of Nations, which faces its gravest test as its thirteenth birthday, Jan. 16, approaches. BV MILTON BRONNER European Manager, NEA Service T ONDON. Jan. 4.—Thirteen years after Woodrow Wilson's lofty idealism gave to the world the league of nations, which now links fifty-seven countries into a brotherhood designed to promote peace and end war for all time, this organization faces the gravest test in its history. On Jan. 16, 1920, the league officially came into being when the council of nations met for the first time. On Jan. 16, 1933, Japan's defiance of the league by the seizure of Chinese territory in Manchuria will approach a showdown. A committee of nineteen, which the league has appointed to seek an amicable solution to this crisis, is due to resume sessions on that date after a holiday recess. Time after time the league has enforced its peace demands against small nations. Whether it can compel a major power like Japan to obey is the question now. TWO MORE HELD IN SBOO CIGAR ROBBERY Linked to Theft for Which Pair Have Been Convicted. Two more arrests have been made in the theft of SBOO worth of cigars, which already has resulted in conviction of two men. Detectives Tuesday arrested Charles Jackson, 34, of 866 Udell street, and Harold Harris, 20. Negro, 1062 Holburn street. The convicted men are Jerry Hicks, 23, Negro, 532 North California street, one to ten years for larceny and vehicle taking, and James Earl, 27. of 206 North Sheffield avenue, one year and fine of $25 for larceny. According to detectives, Harris and Hicks stole a House of Crane truck loaded with cigars on Nov. 6. Jackson is alleged to have bought some of the stolen cigars and Earl is accused of selling a portion of the loot.

THE INDIANAPOLIS'TIMES

the conference table are other famed war-time statesmen, including Premier Clemenceau of France (right) and Prime Minister Lloyd George of Great Britain (extreme left). The league officially came into being when the executive council met for the first time on Jan. 16, 1920.

I Thus far, the league's diplomats have side-stepped gingerly, hoping to effect a peaceful solution without a showdown. Prospects for an agreement are beginning to fade; Japan stands firm on her invasion of Manchuria and threatens to resign from the league if its action goes against her. Nothing in recent years so greatly has menaced peace of the world. t The league bands together practically every important nation in the world except Russia and the United States. Though it was Woodrow Wilson's child, it was orphaned by the United States senate when it refused to ratify American participation . . . and Wilson died, a broken man. And what has the record been in these thirteen years? Nation’s Dues Overdue Numerically, the league is strong■er today than ever before, with | fifty-seven nations enrolled. During I the last year it gained Turkey and j the little kingdom of Iraq as memI bers. It stands to lose Mexico, which has announced notice of withdrawal | because of lack of funds. Italy at j one time threatened to quit, but ■ Mussolini since has declared his inj tention to remain. Financially, the league is weak, j for the reason that a third of the | member-nations are behind in their dues. For example, a recent report I showed that China and Peru had | not paid a cent to the league in j eight years; that China owed nearly $2,000,000. Nevertheless, the league I enters 1933 with an increased budi get. Internationally, the league has : had its share of fair successes and ; some great failures. Its successes | have come mostly in dealing with ; small nations. Pessimists Voice Doubt The pessimists say the future of | the league depends on how it han- | ales the question of disarmament and the grave question of Japan's actions in Manchuria, with possibilities that either matter may bring serious results. The optimists, among them the famed General Jan Smuts of South Africa, pi edict so ther league expanding power and influence. Looking at the matter without prejudice, it probably would be nearer the truth to say that the great powers use the league when it is convenient, while the small powers cling to it desperately, in j the hope that it may evolve into

the Indiana Ministerial Association Tuesday. Speaking at the ministerial group’* midwinter retreat. Fey outlined "the new kind of pagan" as a man, who, as a plain citizen, lives a quiet, ordinary life, minds his own business, takes no part in affairs of state locally or nationally, smokes two 5cent cigars daily, wears long underwear in winter, believes in the goods he sells and the standards of morality, but lets religion take care of itself.
