DEEPER IN RED 1939 Expenditures Set At $8900 Million, Income At $5500 Million. WASHINGTON. May 19 T Informed offlclala tentatively foreraat today a $3. 400. 000.000 federal deficit In the flacal year beginning July 1, aa a reault of the huge aponding-londlng pro gram now before congreaa. That would be allghtly more than double the anticipated abort age for the current year but would be below the doflclta Of 1994, 1935 and 1936. The penk peacetime deficit, ewoltcn by bonua ' paymenta, waa 14,7(3,' 841,000 In the year ended June 30, 1936. Hnialler Revenue Keen Roughly, the next year'a i pendlturea have been aet at about 18, 900. 000, 000 and recoipta at about 15,600,000.000. The tentative estimate, It waa learned, allowed for a 1400, 000,000 shrinkage - In -revenuoa and a 12,050,000.000 Increaae In expenditures, compared with the preliminary figure auhmltted to congreaa by tho prealdont In Janu ary. The January eatlmatea con templated a 3950,000,000 deficit. The flgurea remain uncertain becauae relief needa can not be predicted accuratoly at thla time. The president hna naked 11,250. 000,000 to run WPA from July 1 to February 1. A total of $900, 000,000 haa been estimated aa a probable coat for the remaining flvo montha of tho year, but do velopmenta between may alter the eatlmatea. Home Won't Do Spent If all the monoy asked by the president In hla spending message wero calculated In oatlmatlng next yenr'a deficit, a ahortnge of ap proximately 14,100,000,000 would be Indicated. Offlclala explained, howovor, that actual expondlturea aoldom nro as high as appropria tions, and much of the $1,000, 000,000 nllocnled for public works probably will not be spent until the following year. Another Item that might upset the budget calculations la the potential tl.500,000.000 lending program of the reconatructlon fl nanco corporation.

EUROPE'S PEACE EFFORTS FALTER Franco-Italian Friendship Negotiations Near Breakdown. By The Associated Press Rain mired the Spanish civil war today, and the war In turn, wltb lta ramiflcattona, threatened to bog down efforts at appease ment among the great powora In Europe. France and Italy, on "oppoaite sides of the barricades" In Spain, to quote Premier Mussolini, seem ed on the verge of a breakdown In their negotiations for a new friendship pact. . Bristling Declaration Promlor Kdouard Daladler made a surprising, bristling declaration of France's determi nation to defend her frontlora agnlnst "all attempts at violence" na Italian offorts to rupture France's tloa with soviet Russia raised new obataclcs to au ac cord. Moreover British hopes for a now four-power security pact In Europe were endangered by the same train of circumstances. Even Britain's .partnership with France and France's at tompts to atrlke a bnrgaln with Italy wore threatened by French sympathy for the Barcelona gov ernment and Franco's mutual as slstnnce pnet with Russia. The diroct cause of the present deadlock In French-Italian friend ship talks was reported to be tbe continued shipment of arms through France to the Spanish republican forces and an Italian demand that France abrogate her Russian ties.

STRONGHOLDS in vim CITY Hand-to-Hand Fighting in Streets Marks Drive Through Suchow. SHANGHAI. May 19 (P) Flags of the rising sun were reported flying from government buildings tonight in Suchow as Japanese troops fought hand-to-band with "daro to die" remnants of Chinese forces to complete occupation of the city.
