vear 1940 been completed for several departments and independent establishments, it was considered almost certain that Mr. Roosevelt will revise final estimates sharply to conform with his own views on spending for next year. None of the officials who attended the White House conference—Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau, Assistant Secretary John W. Hanes and Acting Budget Director Daniel W. Bell—would discuss the conversations. Mr. Morgenthau releaved only that budget and tax matters were taken up. Fiscal experts believed, however, that a spending program on a scaie closely approaching that for the current fiscal year was in prospect. The current budget envisages spend-

ing for this fiscal year of $8.985.157.-]

600, income of £535.,000.270,000 and a net deficit of $3.984,887.60. Two factors provide the basis for the experts’ views. The first is that authorizations in prior fiscal vears for such projects as national defense, flood control. rivers and harand reclamation, will necessitate the spending of several hundreds of millions in fiscal 1940. The other is the politico-economic one revolving around business recovery. The Administration, thev contend, will have to continue its heavy recovery spending program to msure favorable business and inpicture for the 1940 elec-

Social Security Board

Hits Pension ‘Schemes’ |

1 WASHINGTON, Oct. 11 (U. P.) —| Experts of the Social Security Board, it was learned today, have prepared a report for President Roosevelt on “crackpot pension schemes sweeping the country.” Compiled by attornevs and technicians familiar with pension legislation, the report warns that such “schemes” as the Townsend plan on the more recent “$30-Everv-Thursday” plan in California wouid cause economic chaos “comparable | to the disastrous post-war inflation period In Germany.’ The report was prepared for guidance of the administration and was disclosed shortly after New Deal officials anonunced that they would expedite a program to liberalize and expand the Social Security Act. It analyzes pension plans that are political issues In many states and concludes that they would be threats to financial stability. It was not known whether the report was prepared at the specific request of the President, although he had issued warnings against “short cuts to utopia.” “The epidemic of crackpot pension schemes sweeping the country must be taken seriously only because their urface plausibility has succeeded in deluding so many millions of the aged, their friends and relatives.’ the report said. “This will continue until the men and women of Ameorica realize that there are actuaily no ‘short to utopia.’ ”

Two successive years of bumper crops have resulted in an all-time (record supply of approximately 25.250.000 bales of cotton; a record supply of 1.090,000.000 bushels of! wheat, and a corn supply of 2.780.000.000 bushels, second largest on! record. | Prices Swept Down {

The 1938 corn crop was estimated at 24359,316000 bushels compared with an estimate of 2.454.526,000 a | month ago.

The wheat subsidy program, adopted two months ago and designed to “meet all competi- | tion,” has resulted in the sale of about 10 million bushels of the 100 million-bushel goal.
