First Fiscal Month's Sum Is 10 Percent of Proposed ’39 Deficit

Coming Developments to Have Important

Bearing on Administration’s Tax Program in Congress, Treasury Says.

WASHINGTGON, Aug. 2 (U. P.).—The Federal expenditures exceeded income by nearly $450,000,000 in July, the first month of the 1939 fiscal year, approximately 10 per cent of the projected deficit for the entire year, Treasury

reports indicated today.

If this ratio of income to spending were maintained throughout the year, the deficit might be closer to $5,000, 000,000 than the $4,887,600,000 forecast in the recent budget

revision.

The spread between income and outgo was expected to widen even more sharply during the next few months when the Government turns its recovery spending faucets on full

force. collections, however, will reduce the disparity tempo-

rarily. ' Treasury officials indicated that the next few months of fiscal operations will have an important bearing on the kind of tax program which the Administration will sponsor at the next session of Congress.

July Spending Jumps

The Treasury's daily statement for July 29, most recently available analysis of receipts and expenditures, showed that spending since July 1, start of the fiscal year,

amounted to $740,034,383, compared with $634,738,747 in the same period last year. The comparative figures did not include spending hitherto credited to Commodity "Credit Corp., Reconstruction Finance ~ >=Corp. and the Export-Import Bank.

Up to July 1, the difference between receipts and’ expenditures of the ‘RFC, CCC and the ExportImport Bank was charged against budgetary expenditures, But hecause these agencies now go directly to the money markets for their funds instead of to the Treasury as heretofore, the Treasury has omitted _ spending by these bureaus from its daily report since the start of the new fiscal year.

Income Drops Sharply

Recovery and relief spending in . the first 29 days of this fiscal year aggregated $203,667,487, as compared with $181,024,841 in the same period last year. Spending for regular govenmental p ses totaled $395,363,467, as against $313,995,320 last*year. Of more significance to Administration officials, however, was the sharp drop in the Government’s income in the first month of the year. The July 29 statement showed that receipts so far this year totaled $297,040,184 as compared with $379,617,102 on the same day last year. Collections in the first month of the last fiscal year represented more than 6 per cent of the total receipts for the entire year. This July, it now appears, receipts aggregated 5 per cent of the anticipated total for the year. The deficit on July 29, which was next to the last day of July fiscal operations, amounted to $442,994,199, as compared with $255,121,735 in the same period last year.

OIL STUDIED, SEARCH FOR CLIPPER PRESSED

MANILA, Aug. 2 (U. P.).—PanAmerican Airlines today received samples of oil found near the last known position of the Hawaii Clipper which disappeared last Friday with 15 persons aboard while flying from Guam to Manila. As the fourth day of futile searching drew to a close, the vessels and seven planes seeking a clue to the fate of the Clipper backtracked over a wide sea area east of the Philippine Archepelago.

We played Treasure Island all day yesterday.” . ; They have a pair of old Spanish swords at home and she and Delmer fence with them as pirates, she explained.

COUNTY TO VOTE ON NEW CASH REQUESTS

The Marion County Council is scheduled to act tomorrow on a $300,000 temporary loan for the County Welfare Fund and also on requests for several emergency appropriations. The temporary loan is to carry the Welfare Department until the fall installment of taxes is received. Emergency appropriations not included in the budget are: Insanity inquest and per diem, $6500; clothing for insane, $7842; stenographer for Sheriff, $500; telephone and telegraph, $75; typewriter, $95; moving of Detention Home, $228.35; health commissioner’s salary, $145.50. The two measures were before the Council today on first reading. If they are passed tomorrow they must go before the State Tax Board for review. | :

Crump Machine

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Aug. 2—“Mr. Crump don’t ‘low no easy riders

years ago by W. C. Handy, Negro boss of Shelby County's Democratic,

organization, is particularly descriptive today.

For the Shelby County machine, faced for the first time with a serious .threat to its power, has gone into ‘high gear. The organization, which can deliver 60,000 votes to one man at the bat of an eyelash—and has done so—is out rounding up votes for the Democratic primary Thursday. These are to be delivered to Prentice Cooper, a little known State Senator from Shelbyville, who is running for the Governorship against Governor Browning. Governor Browning broke with Boss Crump in 1937.

City firemen and city policemen have been ringing Memphis doorbells, precinct workers and ward heelers have been carefully going over lists of voters in their respective districts. City and county office holders, owing allegiance to Ed Crump and all dependent on him for their jobs, are spurring their aides to renewed activities. House-to-house canvasses are being made and every occupant is asked to go down the line for the machine. In most cases, they are not asked, they are told how to vote. And woe tc the man who fails to listen.

Relies on Propaganda

Byt the Crump machine has less need to rely on coercion at this election than at any previous one. For, like the dittatorships of Eu-

ganda the .crowd can be made to believe that the will of the boss is the crowd’s will. The current propaganda is to make it appear that Governor Browning, in fighting the machine ' is fighting the people of Shelby County. And the Governor, by the ineptness of his moves, has played into the machine’s hands. The words

of praise which he gave to the

machine two years ago, when it was supporting him, are now being reprinted in advertisements to his embarrassment. 3 ~ But when he indicated that he might send National Guard troops to Memphis on election day, resentment became flaming indignation throughout Tennessee and especially in Memphis. The public protest caused Governor Browning to abandon the plan before it was en-. joined by Federal Judge John D. ‘Martin at Memphis late yesterday. Judge Martin ordered the United States Marshal to “use force, if,

necessary” to prevent National

Scoffs at Injunction

Governor Browning said he “might or might not” decide to have troops come in and take over the polls, “but a Federal injunction will not stop me if I decide to do so.” Judge Martin enjoined the use of militia on petition of Crump’s fol-

lowers. A nomination to the U. S. Senate is at stake and hence, Judge Martin ruled, the Federal Government had jurisdiction over the primary. The machine now does not have to rely on its old tricks. This year it has whipped up sentiment of the people against an “invader.” It also has the benefit of public conviction that Governor Browning is no better than the machine he broke with —that the Governor, too,* has a machine using state employees as the Memphis machine uses city and Federal employees. But the work of getting out th vote goes on nevertheless. . On Beale St., center of Memphis Negro life, organization workers scurry around. Votes are wooed with watermelon feasts and fish frys. i Negro Vote Sought

The huge Negro vote, always 8 factor in previous Shelby organization victories, is now being sought openly for the first time. One Negro Democratic Club now boasts 5000 members and a personal letter from Jim Farley thanking it for efforts on behalf of the Democratic Party, There is also ‘a Browning Negro Club, The white people are not neglected. A picnic at the fair grounds attended by some 50,000—free lemonade and free rides on amusement devices for the children, free music by the WPA band and free dancing, wrestling and boxing shows for the mamas and papas—is expected to swell the tide” of Cooper votes which Mr. Crump has predicted will mount to 75,000. He delivered 60,000 votes to Governor Browning two years ago. Charges of corruption, fraud, and illegality from the Browning forces, evidence before a state investigating body of double registrations, Negroes being voted in blocks, fraudulent poll tax payments and stuffed ballot boxes, have not deterred the machine’s efforts. Nor have they alienated the citizen support, which points to honest administration of public funds by the Crump machine, low taxes, fine streets and beautiful parks. :

Violence Is Feared

Seeking some way to overcome the huge Memphis vote, Governor Browning has threatened to have it thrown out as fraudulent, on the basis of evidence uncovered by his crime commission of dead men, unknown persons and infants being registered. He has sworn ina large number of state policemen at Memphis. Sheriff Joyner promptly appointed 100 special deputies to keep the state police under control. Meanwhile Memphians are waiting apprehensively for the polls to

LA FOLLETTE'S 30 PARTY QUIET

Skeptics Hint F. D. R. May Be Cause of Progressives’ Silent Activity.

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer

MADISON, Wis., Aug. 2.—Do you remember that new political party, the so-called National Progressives of America, which young Governor

| Phil La Follette of Wisconsin pro-

jected, full-blown, into a confused

world about three months ago, with its cross-mark symbol of its philosophy of an abundant life for everybody? Little has ‘been heard of it in recent weeks, \ Wondering why, I went to ask the Governor. Natural curiosity was injed on my part by the fact that I was present at the new party's birth there in the stock pavilion of the University of Wisconsin on the, night of April 28. Several thousand citizens heard the young man sound the clarion call against the huge backdrop of the party symbol. It seems the party is not dead, as suspected by some, but, so far as public activity goes, temporarily

quiescent. T'nderneath, the work of | &

organization is preceding noiselessly. With no publicity, the Governor darts forth, every so often, into his immediate neighborhood and -occasionally beyond, for conferences with converts. He keeps up an active correspondence. The party will have candidates for office, perhaps a gubernatorial aspirant or two, in seven states. It has aroused interest as far away as California, the deep South and New England.

Skeptics Retain Doubt

But little else is planned until after the fall elections. Governor La Follette and his associates put up a plausible story about the necessity of quiet and gradual organization work. But they cannot blame skeptics for suspecting that something has happened, especially one who heard the April promises of a big splurge or two, with vague hints about a national convention this summer. Might Franklin D. Roosevelt be somehow mixed up in this? A recital of circumstances might yield a clue—for instance—that Phil La Foliette is running for a fourth term as Governor in November; and must be re-elected to keep himself in the public eye and maintain

control of his own state erganiza-|

tion. That Wisconsin Democrats, flushed with Roosevelt strength in the state, want to capture it-bodily, with all the emoluments that go with control. ‘My Friend’ Treatment Feared

. Purther, that Senator Duffy, a|

Democrat up for re-election, wan

to go back to the Senate. >

And, foremost, that President Roosevelt is planning a trip to Wisconsin to give Mr. Duffy the “my Friend Ryan” treatment. Phil does not relish the appearance of Mr. Roosevelt in his state, naturally, for such a purpose. He could stomach an endorsement of Senstor Duffy, but he doesn’t want Mr. Rogsevelt to go below the Senatorship and say nice things about the Democratic state ticket—which is exactly what the Democrats are pleading with the President to do.

nor Huxman, seeking re-election as a Democrat, had no opposition. Senator McGill, Democratic incumbent, appeared certain of victory over his only opponent, Joe Dohner. The Republican Senate race developed a unique twist when a fiery Wichita preacher, the Rev. Gerald B. Winrod, entered on an anti-New Deal platform. His presence in the race went almost unnoticed until Old Guard Republicans began to produce material which showed that he was a foe of Negroes, Catholics,

| Jews, labor organizations and even

Protestants. : The Republican Governor race apparently had narrowed to a contest between two young - liberals, and an Old Guard - Republican. Payne Ratner, a state Senator, campaigned vigorously, as did Harold McGugin, Coffeyville attorney, who outlined a middle of the road platform. Charles Thompson, Topeka, former Lieutenant Governor, had support of the statehouse Republication organization.

Pendergast-Stark

Feud Is Missouri Issue

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 2 (U. P,).»Missouri voters went to the polls today to select nominees for

. | the U. S. Senate and to thoose be-

tween two Democratic State Supreme Court candidates, one supported by the T. J. Pendergast machine of Kansas City, the other by Governor Stark. Election efficials believed that the heated race between Judge James V. Billings, indorsed by Mr. Pendergast, and Judge James M. Douglas, Governor Stark’s candidate, would result in 1,000,000 votes being cast, an unusually large number for Missouri in an off-year primary election. The New Deal was not an issue. With Senator Clark apparently. holding the edge in his effort to secure the Democratic nomination, the contest. between Mr. Billings and Mr. Douglas held the most interest. :

New Deal Is Issue In Only One Virginia Race

RICHMOND, Va., Aug. 2 (U. P.). —The New Deal was an issue in only one contest as Virginia Democrats voted today in a primary election to select nominees for Con-

ress. National interest in the state pri‘mary centered in efforts of William 'E. Dodd Jr, son of the former American Ambassador. to. Germany, to unseat Rep. Howard W. Smith in the Eighth District. Mr. Dodd, 32-year-old Alexandria lawyer, campaigned with New Deal support using the slogan “a vote for Dodd is a vote for Roosevelt.” Rep. Smith, who has opposed some New Deal measures, declined to ac‘cept a flat. New Deal versus antiNew Deal issue. The only other Virginia contest is between Rep. Norman R. Hamilton of Portsmouth and : former Rep. Colgate Darden, who Hamilton supporters claim is a candidate of conservative Senator Hyrd. The remaining seven Democratic Con-

gressmen are unopposed for renomination. Democratic nomination in Virginia has been tantamount to election.

Ohio Straw Poll Favors Third Term

Times Special COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 2 (U. P).— Franklin D. Roosevelt would sweep Cleveland, Akron and a number of other industrial cities of Northern Ohio if he were running for President again, but he would have serious trouble in Cincinnati and in most of the rural counties of this state. This conclusion was reached by Scripps-Howard reporters who have just completed a secret ballot straw poll. Traveling by motor truck, they went from Cincinnati to Toledo, by way of Columbus, Akron, Youngstown and Cleveland, and asked all voters found on the right-hand side of the streets and highways to mark ballots. The ballots asked this question: “Would you vote for President Roosevelt if he were a candidate for President today?” The vote was: Yes, 8505; no, 7345. The President had a majority in

six of the 21 counties polled, and an even break in Franklin County, which includes the city of Columbus, There were majorities against him in Hamilton County (Cincinnati) and Lucas County (Toledo), and in practically all the rural counties south of Summit County (Akron) and west of Cuyahoga County (Cleveland). Strongest sentiment for Mr.

Roosevelt was disclosed in Clevela. and Akron. flevslang
