WASHINGTON, April 6. As spend
thrlfu, the new dealra art proving
to be something of a disappointment
to themselves.
They have suc
ceeded In en
couraging a rath
ex general Im
pression that
they are good
time Charlies
with the money
bags. Yet some
how or other
they always wind
up their fiscal
years by spend
ing a couple ol
cool billions less
PAUL MALLOM
than they expected to.
President Roosevelt promised last
year to run the treasury 7,300.
000.000 Into the hole. Congress au
thorised him to do It. At the end
of the year he had succeeded In
driving It In only to the extent
of $4,900,000,000. That was 2,400,
000.000 short ot his goal.
You can get a good line now on
how he Is coming out this year by
checking the tlgures for the flret
three quarters of the fiscal year,
ending April 1.
He had then dished out about
7 000.000.000, and his program for
the entire year calls for e.500.0QO.
000. This Indicates hla hoped-for del
lclt of 4.800.000.000 will turn out to
be $2,800,000,000. which Is about
$2,000,000,000 short.
This failure la due entirely to the
deficiency In spending. His Income
la running true to the line he
marked out. The three-quartera fig
urea show receipts of $2,800,000,000.
which will make the whole year's
receipts come out at around $3,700,
000.000, as estimated.
But to carry out hla spending
program, he would have to double
the existing rate of expenditures
for the remaining three months of
the year.' Even Harry Hopkins, big
gest spender who ever hit this town,
cannot do that, unless he starts
throwing away dollar bllla from the
top of the capttol dome.
The spending rate this year has
been about $555,000,000 (not billions)
a month,, and this rate probably
will be maintained for the remain
ing three months of the fiscal year.
If Mr. Rooaevelt wants to punish
anyone for letting money go un
spent, he can start with Jes
Jones. The RFC was supposted to
touch the treasury till for M00.
000.000 this year. Instead, Jones has
triven the treasury $137,000,000.
Therefore, his spending calculations
are off more than half , a billion
so far. iaflrt
The AAA-ers hoped to run 660.
000,000 behind the processing tax
receipts, but have succeeded In run
ning only 167.OO0.O00 behind. Mr.
Ickea fell half a -billion short of
his estimates. Mr. Farley's deficit
Is nearly 20,000,000 les than he
anticipated, even after giving away
those stamps. Interest being paid
on the public debt Is 8300.000.00U
below estimates.
The only money-thrower who can
hold his head up ia HopKlna. He
figured he would get rid of 1.700.
000.000. and he has disbursed sl.200.
000.000. Tou can trust him to get
rid of the rest before the end of
the year.
The man In the street who has
been trying to lay aside a couple
ftf dollars for an Faster hat may
nnt Ronreclate this self -disappoint
ment of the new dealers. Also, the
t.mivM. whrt were drained March
18. may suspect It is not realistic.
There sterns to be something in
such suspicions.
Mr. Roosevelt's habit of over-estimating
expenditures for his advance
budgets serves several userui pur
it kwma the spendlnc en
thusiast quiet In and out of con'
press. It. gives an inflationary buoy
ant to business sentiment. And
no matter how many billions he
spends, the fact that he spent less
than expected makes the spending
sppear to he conservative.

FIR. BLAMED FOR

FAILURE OF N.R.A.
Direct Attack On President
By Iowa Senator Holds
'Brain Trust' Not Cause
Spending And Theories
Deplored.
ROANOKE, Va., April 6. (AP, A
direct attack upon President Room
velt waa made tonight by a Repub
lican leader. Senator L. J. Dickinson
of Iowa, with a declaration that the
"short comings of the 'new deal' re
covery plana can no longer be charged
to the 'brain trust.'"
Hia direct arraignment of the pres
ident, deltered In this southern state
that deserted the Democratic ranks
to swing to Herbert Hoover In 1938,
marked one of the few times that foes
of the new deal swung from attack
upon that title to place responsibility
for what they term la failure upon
Mr. Roosevelt.
Dickinson has been mentioned aa
a prospective Republican candidate
for president In 1936 and his ad
dress tonight was regarded aa par
ticularly significant In view of known
efforts by Republican campaign strat
egists to have Mr. Roosevelt person
ally bear the brunt of party attack,
as did his predecessor. Herbert Hoo
ver. Senator Dickinson tonight opened
with an assertion that under Demo
cratic administration "the sky Is
growing darker and no man knows
what the weather will be tomorrow."
Repeatedly he cited Roosevelt's
campaign statements to support the
contention they are far different from
present administration policies.
Broken Pledges
"Verily," Dickinson said. "Candi
date Roosevelt 1a a total stranger to
President Roosevelt."
The silver-haired senator told a
Virginia conference of Republicans
that there was only one place to put
the blame for administration errors
and that was on the doorstep of the
White Hotise."
"It cannot be denied," he contin
ued, "that every detail of our social
and business position in thla country
la worse than it was in the beginning
of 1933."
Item by Item, he took up "state
rights." "public utilities," "control of
business," "agriculture," and "cam
paign pledges" to emphasize his con
tention that the president had repudi
ated his pre-election assurances to
turn back to paternalism, to bureau
cratic control, and to execute orders."
Warns of Collapse
The duty of the Republican party
is apparent." he said. "The collapse
that will follow the present course
should be pointed out."
In his speech tonight, Dickinson
quoted Franklin D. Roosevelt as say
ing In 1930 that "Washington must
not be encouraged to Interfere" in
control of public utilities, insurance,
business, agriculture or social vel
fare, then asked:
What la taking place In the utility
field of the United States?"
Answering his own questions, he
said: ,
"In the first place, the Tennessee
Valley authority la entering Into di
rect competition with every public
utility company in that area."
8mal) Investors Hit
Adding that he declared the "net
effect" of the bill for control of pub
lic utility holding companies "will be
to destroy the Investments in the se
curities of those companies, amount
ing to billions of dollars."
Establishment of NRA and nullifi
cation of the anti-trust laws," he as
sert ed. has brought "oppression of
small enterprises and bureaucratic
rule over business."
In bitter language, the speaker as
sailed the proposal of Secretary Wal
lace of agriculture for a national eco
nomic council with power to suggest
economic laws for a direct vote of the
people.
Wallace Assailed
"What Secretary Wallace really
means." Dickinson said. "Is that con
stltutional safeguards should be abol
ished so far as they tend to hamper
experiments under the "new deal.'"
Summarizing, Dickinson declared,
"the Democratic party Is proposing to
regulate everything through a bureau
in Washington."
"When the spending spree la ended.
when crystal gazing ceases to be at-
tracttve. when It la found that most
pRnaceaA ar a myth, then the Ideals
of tne Republican party. Its construe
live policies. Its dependable leader
ship, will again be in favor."

Cement Plant Suit.
WASHINGTON. April C. (AP) The

The California Oregon Power com
pany, contended the Oregon water
code enacted in laoo. construes
by the courta, deprived it of riparian
rights without due process of law and
without compensation.
Reames asserted his company had
riparian rights in common with the
cement company located on the op
posite side of the river to the joint
use of the bed of the stream. He pro
tested vigorously to dynamiting of
the bed of the stream by the cement
company, asserting It was for the
purpose of diverting the atream to
Ita side of the river during most 01
the year. The dynamiting, he de
clared, had been done under a per
mit of the state engineer's office to
construct a dam for the development
of hydro-electric power fox the op
eration of the cement plant and (or
use in the city of Gold Hill.

MILWAUKEE. April fl. uP The
Milwaukee Sentinel said tonight tha

with evidence which shatters the
testimony of Bruno Richard Haupt
mann and ome of nU principal alibi
witnesses.
The Sentinel aald the priest, the
Rev. Michael J. Kallock, pastor of
St. Joseph's church in Cudahy, a
suburb of Milwaukee, told a story
whicn indicated, the Sentinel aald.
"that the plot against the Lindbergh
family waa fostered many months
before the kidnaping and that Bruno
Hauptmann knew every inch of the
grounds surrounding the Lindbergh
estate."
The Information is .now In the
hands of the department of Justice,
who have relayed it to New Jersey
authorities for further Investigation,
the Sentinel aald.
The Sentinel said that for five
years prior to taking up hla pastor
ate here. Father Kallock waa pastor
of St. Michael s Catholic church on
the outskirts of Trenton, N J.
The high spots In Father Kat
lock's story, the Sentinel aald, were
the following:
"That Bruno Hauptmann fre
quented a riding stable and roadside
rendezvous within several miles of
the Lindbergh estate for many
months prior to the kidnaping.
"That Hauptmann often rode atone
in the woodlands about the riding
stable and within a couple of ml lee
of the Lindbergh home, and at one
time wns aeen coming from that sec
tion of the woods where, man
months later, the Infant's body waa
found
"That Hauptmann studied a set
of plans of the Lindbergh estate
in the office of an architect who
had been bidding for the work
on the Sour) and mountain estate'
of the aviator ace.
"That Mrs. Greta Henckel blonde
Bronx manicurist and Elvert Carl
strom New York carpenter both ol
, whom appeared as defense witnesses
had been seen by him at the
render vous and about the riding
stable grounds."
Father Kallock, in telling hla atory,
the Sentinel aald, did not qualify i
It In any way.
The Sentinel quoted Father Kal
lock: . .
"I saw Hauptmann many times
I saw htm sitting on the porch
of the building. I saw him riding
In the woods. I talked with htm
and one time he saddled a horse
for me. I saw him looking over a
aet of plana for the Lindbergh home
and when he noticed I waa looking
at the plana he covered them up."

5. Well, today Austria says
they want a gun. Yesterday it
was Germany.
England's got a gun, France
has got a gun, Italy's got a gun,
Germany wants a gun, Austria
wants a gun. All God's children
want guns, going to put on the
guns, going to buckle on the
guns and smear up all of God's
heaven. All these come from
treaties which say "I will have
two gum and yon have one."
It just don't mnke sense to
say that one nation shall have
more than another in anything.
