M. O. Wilklns, attorney, entered ft
plea of guilty to driving an auto while
under the Influence of Intoxicating
liquor, and was sentenced by Circuit
Judge H. D. Norton, to serve three
months In the county Jail, and pay
a fine of S160, this morning,
A plea for leniency made by Attor
ney George A. Codding for WUklns,
and unopposed by the district attor
ney was denied by the court. The de
fendsnt also spoke In his own behalf.
Attorney Codding asked that his cli
ent be given a suspended sentence
and permitted to use his auto, so he
eould continue his only source of
livelihood legs practice.
"The public expects a higher stand
ard of ethics from attorneys, than
others, and this court Is in accord
with this view," tttt court said, In
.passing bentence." There Is a tendency
among lawyers to 'peas over and
'whitewash' the offense of fellow at
torneys, and I don't know as X blame
them. However, If the court grants
leniency for Mr. WUklns, the public
expects lesser penalties. So this Is
necessary, unless the courts close up
shop, and permits the highways to
. become death-traps,"
The court said It had known Wll
. kins "for nearly SO years, and never
.knew he partook of liquor."
In conclusion, the court said, "a
.sentence less than you deserve has
been Imposed."
wilklns was Indicted by the grand
Jury.
The state police report showed that
on the night of September 18 last,
Wilklns had driven his auto Into the
Coy service station at Gold Hill,
striking a gas pump, and narrowly
m (suing the attendant. For this of-
- fense, he was found guilty by a Gold
Hill justice court Jury, and fined ISO
and costs. Later the matter was re
ferred to the grand Jury, and a drunk
en driving charge preferred.

BUDGET BALANCE
(Continued from Page One.)
primarily dependent on business eon- i
dltlons, some tax authorities blamed
the lowered estimates on the stock
market drop and evidences of lessened
Industrial activity In some fields.
The president's budet statement
waa primarily a factual com parte on
of the revised budget with the figures
he submitted to congress In April
and with last year's budget.
He explained the proapectlre deficit
had Jumped from S418.000.OOO In April
to a net of 1606, 000,000 because of
Increased expenditures voted by con
gress since that time and because of
a drop In the estimated revenue since
then of aasfl.ooo.ooo.
He noted Increased expenditures of
344,000,000. but balanced against
them "savings under other Items' of
333,000.000. The savings were listed
ss $116,000,000 from a re-exsmtnatlon
of the old age reserve fund, and econ
omies of 208,000,000 "effected by ad
ministrative action In curtailing other
classes of expenditures."
Vnpredletahle Arises.
He listed specifically these unpre
dictable expenditures as having arisen
since the April eatlmste; Increase
under the new railroad retirement act.
continuation of reduced Interest rates
on federal land bank loans, unem
ployment tax refunds under the so
cial security act, extension of the
PWA for two years, and cotton loans.
Turning to a comparison of this
yesr's revised figures with last year's
budget, the president presented a
more cheerful outlook.
Despite the lower estimates of rev
enues, he said these receipts would
amount to II ,357,000.000 more than
lsst year's. He estimated expendi
tures at 1056.000.000 less thsn IP",
with the biggest cut In recovery and
relief spending.
"The estimated expenditures under
the recovery and relief prof ram will
be SI. 139,000 ,000 leas than In 1937."
the president said. "This amount
represents reductions In expenditures
of 1631.000,000 for the Works Prog
ress administration, aS73.0O0.0OO tor
emergency public works. S83.000.000
for resettlement art mini it rat ton, and
