ELEEBi I Afofer I EX CCC DOCTOR If mtd mm ALLY r r"T HH& NEGRO FUGITIVE ' JS&r , srjj By PAIL MALLON WASHINGTON, April 13. The wise New Dealera make a business of not knowing much about their spending plans. Congressional Inquisitors have not been able to get much out of Mr. Hopkins on that subject. The Impression has been created that the federal handout next year will total $1,500,000,000, as requested by the president, plus whatever Is left over from this year, and no one Paul Mallon ever knows bow much will be left over. That Is, no one ever admitted knowing until Mr. Dan Bell, the non- political budget director, testified at a house tax hearing recently. He let It out while his bearers were so deep ly Involved In the taxation subject that they overlooked it. Mr. Bell was heard to say that the amount obligated for this fiscal year la 93.382.000,000 (not the amount al located, mind you, but the amount which will be spent). The left-over, ho said, would be ex actly $1,128,000,000 on the basis of figures compiled as late as March 30. If you will add this left-over to the new relief fund, you will have President Roosevelt's secret namely that the relief sock under his bed for the year beginning July 1 will con tain about $2,628,000,000. Mr. Bell was giving the status of the laat relief fund of $4,800,000,000. He said It was carried on the books at $4,583,000,000 because some of It Included reappropriatlons from the previous year. It would be Incorrect to deduce from his figures that re lief expenditures would be $750,000, 000 less next year than this year, as the figures seem to Indicate. If you count In the bonus, the 'extra-budgetary appropriations being made In congress, and the relief appropriations switched from the emergency budget Into the regular budget for next year. Mr. Roosevelt's total spending fund will be much larger than this year. In other words, Mr. Roosevelt can spend considerably more money next year instead of less, as generally sup posed.

P) A test to determine whether counties which must finance aid to the poor by war rants can deposit a master warrant with banka or must pay each case by individual warrant will be presented to the Oregon aupreme court soon. If a county could deposit a master warrant, receiving cash from banks. It would simplify technlcsl bookkeep ing procedure. Psyment by Individual warrant would require banka to keep records of each warrant received for presentation to the county for re payment and also would complicate county records. The aame question applies to the issuance of old age asslstsncs checks by those counties which must resort to wsrrant financing. If tht court holds that countlee may not draw against a single wsrrsnt for psyment of aid, Individual warrants will have to be Issued. The question will be presented by the attorney-general sometime after April 30. In the meantime countlea requiring warrant financing will pro ceed on the aame basis as In tho past.
