goal in the first 12 minutes.
The Texans were forced to try
long shots when they could not

Oklahoma impressed Ihe crowd

Bv BRUCE CATTON
WASHINGTON, - March 21. If
the business world Is going lo
get any "appeasement ot a finan
cial nature from the government
this spring, it will almost certain
ly consist chiefly of tax revisions.
There is practically no hope ot
substantial cut in government
spending at this time, and any
thing remotely like a oaiancea
budget is out of the question.
Indeed, even the tax revisions
won't add up to so much lu actual
dollars and cents. Yet the revi
sions are eagerly awaited, and the
slightest congressional moves to
ward economy are loudly cheered.
Proving, no doubt, that it lsn t tne
money so much as it is the prin
ciple of tho thing.
That, as a mailer ot jaci, ex
presses It perfectly. It isn't the
size of the savings or the sums to
be saved through tax revisions
that are important. It is the sim
ple fact thnt some savings and
some revisions may be made.
Look at the Figures
For tho fiscal year ending next
June, the treasury department es
timates thnt the government's In
come will he about $5,520,000,000.
Budgeted expenditures for ine
same period are roughly $9,492.
000,000, thus producing a deficit
for the year of $3,972,000,000.
Taking those figures as stand
ard, then, take the expenditures
and try to see where any savings
big enough to make a real dent iu
the deficit could be made.
Government departments, $832,
000.000. Public works (less emergency
and relief projects), $576,000,000.
Navy, $574,000,000.
Army. $135,000,000.
Veterans' benefits aiid pensions,
$5-10,000,000.
Recovery and relief, $2,137,000,
000. AAA, $707,00(1,000.
CCO, $200,0011,000.
Social security. $330,000,000.

Most Costs Mounting
Tho reorganization bill when
