WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. A budget
Is a simple thing. You figure how
much money you expect to have
coming in ana V
now much
sxpect to sped,
president Roose-
relt figures his:
income next year
win be a Uttlc

and more taxes

In. He expects
his expenses will ifj-
be about tne
tame, because Paul Milloo
what little economies he can make
In unemployment relief must go to
Improve the national defense and
other things.
On that basis, he accounts himself
as being 4.8 billions behind this
year and predicts he will be 4.5
billions behind next year.
That Is all you need to know about
the budget. At least it la about ell
you wtil find out. If you dig through
the 871 printed budget, pnges (sl? of
a large dictionary, from now until
doomsday.
With Mr. Roosevelt, budget mak
ing Is at once a science and an art.
He became Interested in the sub
ject when he waa governor of New
York, and those around htm can
see that he likes It.
Last year he introduced the dou
ble entry bookkeeping system. He
counted his Income in one column,
but his expenses in two columns, one
for real expenses and one for emer
gency expenses.
His adversaries fleured that one
out easily. They added up the two
expense columns. This year, they
will not find it so easy. He has
moved some of the emergency Items
(Tennessee vaney. puonc mmaingsj
bark into the regular budget column.
He has started to combine his two
expense columns, so it is extremely
difficult to tell which is which.
That will hinder any critical com
parlson between proposed and past
expenses. But he has worked in an
other new idea which will absolutely
prevent such comparisons. He has
lumped the biggest Hem of expense
In one single figure, the 3.9 billions
he proposes to spend for "relief of
unemployment."
An added complication Is the fact
that the regular budget Is not segre
gated and totaled as last year. An
entirely new and different list of
categories is laid out. In It. regular
and emergency expenditures further
overlap.
Also. Mr. Roosevelt has abandoned
the arrangement he originated of
estimating a second year in advance.
You may recall that, at this time
last year, he had hoped he would
balance this budget he Is now offer
ing. This time he makes no promises
beyond July 1, 1930.
The boys who know their budget
making from the Inside say that
Mr. Rocsevelt was moved to make
these changes because his problem
was changed. Last year there was
tremendous pressure for budget bal
ancing, which he assuaged by antici
pating a balance a year in advance.
This time everyone realizes the
budget cannot be balanced and the
pressure la now limited largely to
curtailment of heavy relief expendi
tures. The program he offered to
congress last Friday was supposed to
assuage the curtailment pressure by
anticipating curtailment of relief
rolls.
Different situations require dlf
. ferrnt budget methods.
Ycu mlcht call Mr. RoosevMt'a
new technique "the brown budget
avstem." Ordinary bookkeepers mark
their excess emergency expenditures
In red Ink and nominal expesdl
tures In black Ink. Mr. Roosevelt has
combined them.
ArM's will te'.l you that the re
sult of combining blark and red
make a rather vague and uncertain
color of brown, but that does not
destroy the aptness of the metaphor.
Of course, some critics will be
meanles enough to insinuate that
Mr. Roosevelt Is color blind, as far
red Is concerned. There is just no
pniflbilitv of pleasing some people.

in court today by witnesses.

neighbor of Colonel Charlea A. Lind

shortly after the opening of the af-j

der and declared:
"That's the man."
"You're a Mar"
"You're a liar." Hauptmann mum
bled. His voice was so low It waa heard
by only a few newspaper men and
his counsel. Edward J. Rellly, chief
of the defense legal staff; attempted
to get the reply in the record, but
Attorney General David T. Wllentz
objected on the ground It waa not
heard by the official court stenog
rapher. The court ruled the record would
stand without the declaration for the
present, but Rellly might offer news
paper men later as witnesses to insert
the reply In the record.
For the second time In the day's
proceedings the crowded court room
became hushed.
Earlier in the day the spectators
had been startled by the unexpected
testimony of Hochmuth, who pointed
a shaking finger at Hauptmann and
said he was a man who on March 1,
1932, near the Lindbergh home,
"glared at me as If he saw a ghost."
Perrone, asked If during the time
he waa a taxicab driver he ever had
occasion to visit the home of Dr.
Condon, said:

nine miles from Apache Junction
early this morning, carrying an esti

The "nuggets" were Identified by

they had been found in the atatc in

Old-timers said, however, they ap

which might contain some sliver.
Williams was weak, apparently from
hunger, and almost incoherent when
brought to the sheriff's office here at
four o'clock this morning by Ed Lay

all of Phoenix, into whose camp he
blundered.

WASHINGTON. ' Jan. 3 Ai The
new deal, deprived of a portion of
NIRA which the supreme court toss,

the federal lid on "hot oil."
At the same time, the belief was
expressed In one quarter on Capitol

the National Industrial Recovery Act
spelled the doom of some other new

Joe B. Holland, 5, of Astoria, a
butcher, and father or seven children,
testifying as the state's witness in the
trial of George High, and his brother,
Robert N. (Babe) High, of Aahland,
on a charge of setting fire to & model
barn on the Balfour Guthrie tract,
January 4, 1933, for the alleged pur
pose of collecting $15,000 insurance,
swore on the witness stand this mor
ning: Theron ;Red) Martin, now serving
a year in the Multnomah county Jail,
on a burglary conviction, and indict
ed with the High brothers on an
arson charge, "poured kerosene on the
hay, and touched a match to It";
That George High had promised
him ( Holland ) half the Insurance
money, for burning the barn:
That Robert (Babe) High, drove
Martin and himself, to the barn from
thla city and waa seated In an auto
while they broke into the barn.
Itrove to Klamath
Holland, who has entered a plea of
guilty, further declared that after set
ting the blaze, Robert High drove the
trio to Klamath Falls and stopped on
a hill to watch the fire, before pro
ceeding to that city.
The confessor testified that he bad
registered at the Hotel Jackson in
this city, and purchased the kerosene
at a. South Central avenue service
station . - . '
Holland said that ha made an
agreement with Robert (Babe) High
to pay 11000 for burning the barn, to
be paid by George High, and divided
three ways between Martin, "Babe"
High, and himself. Holland testllled
yesterday George High promised him
"half J-.e insurance money for the
Job."
Holland alleged that following the
burning of the barn, he remained
three or four days In Klamtah Falls,
and then with Babe High returned to
Ashland, "with a lady known as
Alice."
From Ashland, Holland aald he
called George High at Astoria, Oregon -and
asked him to come to Ashland.
In a conversation with George High
after his arrival, Holland asserted, he
told him:
Wanted Agreement
"Babe insists on some sort of a
written agreement," and George High
replied :
"I won't incriminate myself that
way. You will have to take my word
for It, and wait for the Insurance
money to be paid."
Holland further alleged that George
High told him: "The fire was a suc
cess, but I'm sorry you took Babe In;
he talks too much."
George High returned to Astoria,
and Holland testified he went to the
same city. He declared he again In
sisted on a written agreement from
Georgo High, and wan told by him:
"I won't Incriminate myself. I waa
In Astoria, and had nothing to do
with It."
Holland claimed he telephoned
George High at his home In Astoria
"to go see a lawyer and fix up some
kind of an agreement, or I will tell
the whole thing."
George High still was dilatory
about any agreement, Holland testi
fied, and averred:
