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. Bwlftest legislative stepper In con-

PLANUM IN
PORTLAND. April 13. 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.
