Full Associated Press MB I Ml EflBEBS 1 A By Taul Mallon Copyright, 1936, by Paul Mallon WASHINGTON, Jan. L President Roosevelt said In his budget message that he was $1,294,000,000 off In his budget last year. He overestimated his expenditures b y $875,000,000 and underesti mated his re ceipts by $419, 000.000. Moat compe t e n t authorities here believe the current f 1 g ures are een less In dlcatlve of what the government s-Wi spend next year, v . .MALLON Therein Ilea the story behind current natural bud getlng. It la that no nation has i real budget any more. Necessity or convenience prevents It. The Roosevelt technique of the past two years has been recognized by all budgeteers. The president has asked congress for far more money than he Intended to spend. Insiders say he had only one purpose. If the economic bottom fell out again, he wanted to be In a position to cut plenty of money. However, he got authority while be was at It to spend the leftovei amounts In ensuing years. Thus, Mr. Roosevelt now is attll spending money appropriated oy congresa three years ago, and carried In the budget then. Thus, he will spend next year whatever Is left from last year's four billion, and the three billion of the previous year. These leftover amounts are au thorizations, not money. If utilized, the treasury must go out and bor jrow the money for them. Hence, the relationship between the expenditures, debt and deficit Is as much a matter of executive leeway as of budgetary determination. Saddest untold tale of the old year la the one about the building ma terials firm seeking government con tracts. The firm was new to the ways ot Washington. It wanted to get a good contact man here to deal with the government. The name of a promi nent democratic lawyer was suggest ed. Firm members came here, called the lawyer on the telephone, went to ee him. They agreed upon a lee, ana the lawyer undertook to aid them in getting the contracts. It was some time later that the llrm discovered a grlevoua error. It had hired a republican lawyer by mis take. His last name was Identical with that of the prominent demo cratlc attorney, but their given names (apparently, also, their contacts) were different. The republican lawyer is now threatening suit for his fee. The house has unofficially chosen Representative Knutson of Minnesota as Jeer leader. He has a long record of distinction In that line. It was he who led the chorus of guffaws which you may have heard over the radio near the end of Mr. Roosevelt's message-speech. Three or four comrades Joined In. but no more than that.

(AP) The treasury tonight advised commercial banks of the nation that all AAA checks outstanding are good and may be cashed. Theasury officials said there was no Intention of trying to repudiate any outstanding AAA checks. The information was conveyed to commercial banka through the 12 re gional federal reserve banka. WASHINGTON. Jan. 7. (API- Farm leaders were summoned by the New Deal today to confer on shaping a program to replace the smashed AAA. Secretary Wallace Issued the call for January 10 and 11 after the pon derous AAA field machinery was brought to a full stop by the 6 to S supreme court decision which demol ished the AAA. Wallace's brief announcement, first formal comment on the supreme court's decision: "Leaders of farm organizations, and otfier agricultural spokesmen from different parts of the country were Invited to Washington by Secretary Wallace today to discuss plans for agriculture in the light of the su preme court'a decision In the Hoosac Mills case. Seventy Invited 'The conference was announced to day following consultation by Secre- 1 tary Wallace and Administrator Chester C. Davis with executives of national farm organizations. It is lo be held in Washington on Friday and Saturday. Jan. 10 and 11. "About seventy thus far have been Invited." AAA officials declined to amplify the statement. Already a farm meeting had been planned for next week. Sponsors of the meeting said 3, 000.000 farmers will be represented by leaders of the American Farm Bu reau Federation, the National Grange the National Cooperative Council, the Farmers National Grain Corpor ation and the American Agricultural Editors association, coming to meet as the National Agricultural confer ence. While many New Dealers worried over how much more of President Roosevelt's program was as good as dead through the same supreme court reasoning that levelled AAA, legisla tors Interested In the farm problem were busy. Farm Program Aim Chairman Jones (D-Tex.) of the house agriculture committee said an "effort should be made" to find "a constitutional method of putting all our citizens on an equal footing." Representative Snell, the republi can leader, said his party would seek to present a farm program. The possibility of adding as much as $800,000,000 to the budget appro priation estimates to allow the gov ernment to meet existing contracts with farmers was seen by Chairman Buchanan (D-Tex.) of the house ap propriations committee. The AAA had estimated $283,000,000 would be needed to meet performance up to ! yesterday. Buchanan said he thought the government was morally obligat ed to fulfill all contracts. At the White House. President Roosevelt continued silent about the mome n tous 6 to 8 dec I si on wh lch tumbled his crop adjustment pro gram. It was said the chief executive ! was not likely to comment at a later ( pro as conference on the decision ; which presents the problem of form l ulatlng an entirely new agricultural plan. Nor was It believed llkelv Mr. Roosevelt would mention the s''hject In his address tomorrow night to democrat a assembled throughout 'he country at Jackson day dinners. A longer wait was Indicated. Proposals Vague Most proposals for an AAA substi tute were vague. Snell aatd more time was needed although republi cans realized farm purchasing power "must be maintained because It Is of vital Importance to the country." Jones, who conferred with Mr. Roosevelt yesterday, said : "I cannot believe the supreme court means to say that a national tariff is legal at.d that a national farm program which merely restores the price balance cannot be made leral. "I can not believe it is mant that the cotton farmers and the producers of other world market crops must purchase their supplies in a htghr priced protected market, and that there Is no constitutional means by which they may be given an even brak.
