WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 U.P.) — | The Treasury's deficit soared to the | $400.000,000 levei today as last- | minute changes were made in the | revised 1938 fiscal year budget | which will be made public tomorrow. The new forecast eagerly was | awaited by heads of Government departments and agencies and by business and financial interests be-| cause it will show the extent to! which President Roosevelt intends to carry his economy drive in the | current fiscal year, as a prelude to next year's promised budget.

The contents of the fiscal sum-| mary were closely guarded by the|

budget-makers pending final ap- | proval by Mr. Roosevelt. It was |

generally conceded, however, that it | indications |

would confirm recent that the budget will not be balanced this fiscal year; that spending |

will exceed income. President Roose- | velt expressed hope last April for |

a “layman's balanced budget'—a

balance between income and outgo |

exclusive of debt retirement expenditures—in the current fiscal year ending June 30, 1938. Various estimates were heard in

Treasury circles of the probable size | of the budget summary deficit. The |

consensus of the best opinion was

that spending this year would ex- | ceed income by between $400,000,000 |

and $500,000,000.

FACT FINDERS NAMED IN SHOE FIRM DISPUTE

Huntington Corp. Can Afford Pay Boosts.

Arthur Viat, State Labor Division conciliator, said today a fact-find-ing committee had been appointed

to study wage conditions at the Huntington Shoe Corp., an unprece edented move in the division's work. The committee, composed of representatives from the union and the company and a Seymour pastor is to examine the company’s records and determine if it can afford to grant general wage increase, Mr. Viat said. A three weeks’ strike of 225 employees was settled Sept. 21 by an agreement granting seniority rights, a 40-hour week, a minimum wage guarantee and sole bargaining rights to the United Shoe Workers of America, a C. I. O. affiliate, he added. First Committee Named

Mr, Viat said that although the 1937 State Labor Act provided the Division might appoint such a factfinding committee, this is the first time one has been named. Members are Guy Arnold, Chicago, national union representative; E. R. Huntington, company renresentative, and the Rev. L. Dewey Burham, Seymour, Mr. Viat said the settlement, agreement involved another precedent in that it provided that no employee can work in the plant while a strike or lockout is in progress, nor can an employee bring materials to the plant at such time,
