George Creel asserted today In a mag

based on information from authori

President Roosevelt plans to balance
the federal budget In 1939.
The director of war-time propa

had been worked out by treasury
experts at the president's dictation.
Regarding the administration at
titude toward the consitutlon. Creel
declared that the president would
have no alternative but to go before
the country with a constitutional
amendment. If that document should
be interpreted so as to leave "the
present generation powerless to meet
social and conomlc problems that
were not within the knowledge of
the founding fathers.'

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29. (AP)
President Roosevelt, today signed the
Frazier-Lemko three-year farm mort
gage- moratorium bill, designed to re
place the law declared unconstitu
tional by the supreme court last
spring.
The measure permits debt-burdened
farmers to go into federal court
and obtain moratoriums of as much
as three years on their mortgages.
During that time their property, In
effect, would be under court control.
Farmers are allowed to remain In
possession of their land during the
moratorium but must pay a "fair"
rental, cither every six months or at
the end of each year, as the court
may decide.
At the end of the moratorium,
property which has been protected by
It must be re-appraised by the courts
or on court order.
The farmers then may clear their
land by payment of. the appraised
value. But If they fall to do so, se
cured creditors can obtain court
orders directing that the secured
property be sold at public auction.
The bill was forced through the
house late In the session by contin
uous pressure from scores of farm
state representatives, after hope for
passage had been all but abandoned
even by Its chief advocates.
Adopted unanimously with but one
amendment, the measure was hurried
across the capltol to the senate where
it required only a matter of minutes
to win final congressional approval.
Representative Lemke, (R., N. D.),
co-author, has described the act as
giving "a breathing spell" to the
farmers.

citizen.
"Even so, receipts and expenditures
are being given the ultimate In care

experts already see the day when the
