WASHINGTON. Dec. 5. Th word
hu gone out from the m&tn new
deal transmitter to lay off economy
predictions.
The great hopes
which Mr. Roose
velt held out for
a thrifty budget
apparently have
not worked very
well. The outgo
Just cannot be
pared sufficiently
without disturb
ing the funda
mental relief ob
ligations of the
new deal.

can be done Is to plug up leaks and
divert government expenditures Into
relief and business channels which
will eventually bring some return.
Hence, work relief liquidating pro
jects, loans for homesteading and
such things are likely to be most
prominent In the budget when It
comes out In a few weeks.
These things cost more than the
backdoor handout system Instituted
under the FERA. but they are more
economical In the long run.
The sub-roBa. budgetary situation
may be the reason for the surprise In
that recently announced treasury
financing.
The best informed bankers were
expecting that the government would
ask for $500,000,000. Instead Mr. Mor
genthau asked for 900.000.000, and
you may have noticed that he was
In Warm Springs when the treasury
department made Its announcement.
Telephones still operate between here
and Warm Springs.
The private official explanation for
the sIm of the sum was this:.. The
treasury has been running quite a
heavy monthly deficit. There are cer.
tain large Interest payments to be
made shortly.
The unannounced policy of Mr.
Morgenthau has been to keep a
cash balance of a billion dollars on
hand at all times. At the time of
the financing announcement his
working balance was down to S740,
000.000. 80 Mr. Morgenthau figured he
might as well seek 900.000.000 while
money market conditions were good.

President Convinced Best
Way Out for American
Farmers Is Adjustment of
Production to Demand
That Is all true, but there was
more In It than tilat. Obviously Mr.
Morgenthau was anticipating winter
relief demands. There are gcid rea
sons for believing that he expects
the present finance to pull him
through until April. No public prom
ise can be made of that, but the
expectation Is reasonable In the light
of existing facts.
The clever part of It was the aus
picious time which Mr. Morgenthau
elected. It was. Just three weeks be
fore the budget will come out.
The results may be announced be
fore you read this, or shortly there
after. Advance Indications were that
they will be favorable. Word from
inside the treasury Is to the effect
that the Issue Is going very well.
The money market was In a much
more receptive condil'on this time
then last September. Uncertainty
filled the air then. Certain bankers
were more Jittery than the country
knew. Now the financing Is being
done In an atmosphere similar to
that of the June financing. For that
reason Mr. Morgenthau did not of
fer as high an Interest rate.
The result will be a significant test
of the long-term bond market, which
was not so good last September.
The public generally may not un
derstand government financing moves,
but every banker knows they are
the only sincere hint as to how
things are going. They always tell
the truth, which can be safely hidden
between moves.
A personnel officer In one of the
new deal units was warned before
he took his Job that a certain sena
tor was to be treated deferentially.
When the senator telephoned and
recommended a man for a Job. the
personnel officer dutifully took the
fellow on. Twelve times he d'.d It.
Twelve Jobs he gave to frlenda of
the senator, on telephone requests.
The 13th recommendation from the
senator came In the form of a let
ter. The personnel officer did his
best to care for the 13th Jobseeker,
but there was no place open. He
phoned the aenstor to that effect.
The senator shouted :
"listen, don't you know the dif
ference betwern a telephone applica
tion and a letter? I was only fooims
about those other Jobs, but I've got
to have this one. I'm on record for
It In the letter."
By an overwhelming majority. 797
voting yea, and 219 voting no. Med
ford yesterday afternoon passed the
$100,000 bond Issue for the construc
tion of a new sewage disposal system
in this city.
A larger vote than is ordinarily cast
in city elections was shown yesterday
in the results, there being 1016 bal
lots marked, . the tabulations show.
On July 28. 1933. when a similar vote
was held on the bond Issue, there
were only 783 ballots cast, 570 for.
and 213 against. Due to technical
changes, and an opportunity to re
ceive between $22,000 and $24,000
from the federal government, should
the bond be voted, a new election was
necessary this year.

GRAIN RATE CUT
WASHINGTON. Dec. 4. (AP) The
Interstate commerce commission today
Issued a ruling affecting the trans
Mississippi grain rate structure which
tt la estimated unofficially will re
duce the present costs to grain ship
per by $6,.00,000 annually.
The ruling was a result of the re
opening of the grain rate case origi
nally decided August 1, 1931, and ef
fective for several months In 1932
when virtually cancelled by a su
preme court order.
In Its finding announced today,
the commission in general re-establishes
the structure set-up In Its pre
viou order.
The rates In the Mountain Pa
cific and Pacific Coast generally are
higher In tills than In the first re
port because present rates are un
disturbed where they do not exceed
the general level prescribed for the
southwest.

Allies Also Accused
By NATHAN ROBERTSON.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. (AP) A
statement that Nobel. Ltd.. British
munitions firm founded by the donor

guilty of "winking" at the rearming
of Germany In violation of the Ver

1925, recognired the allies were con
niving with Germany in violating
the Versalllea treaty because permit
ting the illegal manufacture of ex
plosives in Oermany "swelled the
reparations fund."
Letters Draw Charge.
Correspondence between the Du
Pont company and Its foreign de
partment drew the charge of "wink
ing" from Senator Vandenberg (R..
Mich.) who was conducting the In
quiry.
One of the letters plainly said
Nobel could have brought pressure
on the British government to stop
violation of the peace pact by Ger
man manufacturers In 1026, but did
not do so because of Its German
connection.
Evidence Cited.

partment 'as""ln'-J . Tcttor from Aiken
Simons, Dupont Washington repre
sentative, to his company, reporting
on a conversation he had with Allen
W. Dulles, chief of the department's
near eastern division.
The letter said In reference to
manufacture and export of explo
sives from Germany In violation of
the treaty:
"Mr. Dulles aald he waa well aware
of this and that he waa also aware
that powder and other munitions
were continually shipped out of
Oermany with the connivance of the
allies, since the resulting sales of
munitions swelled the reparation
fund."

PORTLAND. Ore., Dec. 5. (AP)
Federal agents Intimated today that
new. Important and perhaps start
ling Information on the distribution
of the 2 00, 000 ransom paid kidnap
ers of Charles F. Urschel, Oklahoma
millionaire, may develop from the
hearing before the United States
commissioner here, of two men and
two women held on conspiracy
charges in connection with the case.
Urschel. who flew from Oklahoma
city to appear as a witness In the
hearings, waa not permitted to tes
tify, "it Is Impossible," said. United
States Attorney Carl Don a up h, "to
permit Mr. Urschel to testify this
morning. His 'presence elsewhere In
connection with further develop
ments In this case Is Imperative."
The government asked for, and was
granted, a postponement of the hear
ing until late In the afternoon.
Extradition Sought

ment's petition to remove to Okla
homa for trial. Alvln H. Scott and

are Clara Feldman. reputed wife of
Albert Bates, convicted kidnaper, and
her ton, Edward Feldman.
Court attaches said they believed
Urschel ' appearance against Scott
and Mrs. Hurtlenne had been post
poned because special agents In the

question him further about the kid
naping. Scott and Mrs, Hurtlenne were ar
rested early last month after Scott
had been taken to a hospital for
treatment of Injuries suffered In an
automobile accident. Federal agents

Every hour brought new fear that

plane, .which contained Ulm, the

Navlgator-Radlo Operator J. L. Skll

Twenty-four naval seaplanes were
