WASHINGTON. April 9. A possibility that proposed new govem- : ment activities might be financed by | cutting next year's relief fund, inI stead of raising taxes, came to light l today with a conference of Senator Robinson, the Democratic leader. Robinson said such an idea “hasn’t crystallized yet” but “is possible.” Despite demands from several quarters in and out of Congress for a bigger relief fund, the administration leader asserted next year’s appropriation was “more likely to be reduced than increased.” Like President Roosevelt, he expressed hope of avoiding new taxes tli i t session. “At this juncture. I don't sec any new taxes,” Robinson said. “The President doesn’t want them, but there are some proposals for new expenditures that might require additional funds." Only a few days ago Mr. Roosevelt reiterated that he hoped there would be no new taxes at this ses-

sion.

Chairman Harrison, Democrat. Mississippi, of the Senate finance committee repeatedly has spoken in a similar vein. He favored curtailed expenditures, rather than increased lax levies. If necessary to balance the budget. i Robinson did not make clear what relief figure he thought might be cut. whether it would be the $1,500.000.000 which the President mentioned tentatively for relief in his budget, a smaller figure which some members of Congress have predicted the chief executive would recommend next week, or the present relief spending rate of about $2,000,000,000 a year. The point of the suggestion, however was that instead of adding to 1 the budget expenditures for such things as farm tenancy, housing and other legislation now pending, the cost of these things might be cut out of the relief money. Robinson took cognizance of current efforts to increase, rather than cut, the relief fund. But he said “if that is done it would intensify the budget problem.’’ | Discussion of the budget has intensified since the March 15 income tax returns failed to come up to in- ' formal treasury estimates, and In- ! i Prosperity follows the paint brush.

dientions increased that Congress would exceed the budget estimates in expenditures. In this connection, Robinson said: “The revenue is not quite up to expectations. But that might be recouped. Some big taxpayers are not paying as much as it was estimated they would and that may be recouped in due course.” He acknowledged there is a feeling in Congress that “several subjects will require additional expenditures,” possibly including farm tenancy ami educational aid to the state.?. Robinson said when he asked supporters of these various measures, “Where are you going to get the money?” they replied. “Why spend so much for relief?” In contrast to such suggestions, the United States Conference of Mayors has recommended an appropriation of $2 200.000.000 anil a steering committee in the House, which says it represents 100 members, is seeking an appropriation of $2,400.000,000. On the basis of expenditures for the first seven months this year, WPA’s annual outlay for the present fiscal period will be about $2,000,000,000. The Treasury disclosed a new angle of the fiscal problem today, reporting that employers and employes paid $63 268.000 of the social security taxes on January and February wage •. The January budget estimated that $324,600,000 would be collected from those taxes by the end of the fiscal year, June 30. Internal Revenue Bureau officials said, however that many employers of eight or less persons had faileil to pay old age levies, apparently under the erroneous impression they were exempt. They are exempt from the unemployment insurance tax.

COURT PLAN CP TO PUBLIC <<’onffniieil Krom l*nue Onp) in the Senate. In that battle the tide was turned against the President at the eleventh hour because several doubtful senators concluded that either public opinion or their own conscience demanded that they oppose the plan, according to Neal, who added that the fate of the court proposal may be determined at a similar late period in the strife. In humorous vein. Neal described the deluge of letters about the court received by members of Congress. “One indignant citizen, who opposed the court plan, added a postscript to a letter to his congressman asking for help in obtaining a patent on a WPA shovel,” Neal said. “This shovel, he explained could be collapsed into a seat. An umbrella was attached for use on hot. sunshiny days. The edge was so dull that it could • ot penetrate the ground more Neal pointed out. however, that the than three inches.” Supreme Court issue is noi the only one causing grey hairs in YWishington now. “The budget, monetary trends, price spiraling and labor are among

the problems commanding attention just now," he said. “A substitute for NBA is in the offir*. The President very recently told a congressional leader that he plans to do nothing with wage and hour legislation until the court fight in settled. Ho and others have indicated that they favor a wage and hour bill under which a government board would have authority to adjust both minimum wages and hours of labor in various industries.” The disappfhting amount of March tax collections mgy delay the balancing of the budget, according to Neal, who added that majority leaders were striving hard to avoid introduction of a new tax bill. Neal said there is a real need for honest, truthful reporting on Wash-
