'J 4 VEXING PROBLEM IN HOOVER PATH Mellon Announcement of Billion Dollar Finance Program Brings Tax Situation to Forefront By Krnnots M. Stephenson WASHINGTON, Aug. 31. (AP) Announcement by Secretary Mellon of a billion dollar financing program for the September quarter brought President Hoover face to face today with the vexing problem of how to balance next years' budget. It Is a matter he must thresh out wi'.'i Mr. Mellon and the republican leaders of the house and senate be fore the opening of congress In De cember. It appears now to be very much a two-sided problem. Mellon, despite his resort at this time to another huge bond Issue, Is known to favor a revision of taxes to raise the necessary funds to meet a prospective billion dollar deficit next year. The fiscal year ending June 30 incurred a 903.000.000 de ficit, largely met by a long term bond Issue. Taxes Fall Off In the first two months of this fiscal year, the treasury shows a de ficit of $387,000. Income taxes have continued downward t,hts year, yield ing $11,000,000 less than In this perid a year ago. A drop of $13,000, 000 in miscellaneous tax receipts has added to the administration's worries. Next year Is a campaign year, how ever, and up on Capitol Hill the po litical leaders are holding up their hands against any Immediate raise In taxes contending It is difficult to ask for votes after Increasing the tax payers' bills. Thus, Mr. Hoover Is confronted by a none too easily solved situation. Moreover, Senator Watson of Indi ana, the republican leader, has warn ed the president if congress once starts to raising taxes next session there is apt to be no limit on it. 4 IN LOOSE GRAVEL; TRIO IN HOSPITI George Adams, 25. of Grants Pass and Mr, and Mrs. D.
