FINANCING MAY
UPSET BUDGET
Processing Tax Proposed
As Means of Preventing
Big Increased Deficit
WASIIINnTON. Oct. II t.V)
Administration officials showed
signs of worry todsy over financ
ing the prnpoaed new farm pro
gram without upsetting I'resldent
Knosovelt's forecast of a balanced
budget next year.
Lleiplte the chief eiecutlve's ex
pressed hope of balancing the bud
get without Increasing laiatlon,
there was persistent talk of is-
iHtillihlng processing taxes to
finance a crop control system at
leaat partially.
No Plan Favored
Trealdent Itooaovelt has not an
nounced support of any pui'lculm
farm measure. Home of BorreUry
Wallace's aides hare estimated
the "ever-normaj granary" sys
tem would cost 1700,0011,000
year.
That would be 1225,000.000
more than the estimated cost of
this year's soil conservation pro
gram. Together with the project
ed deficit of fS9Ii.0U0.UOU. It
would make close to a billion dol
dars to be taken care of In next
year's budget, aside from all otu
er current expenditures.
Thst the situation waa causing
aome concern waa evidenced by
a conference yeaterday among br
president. Secretary Wallace and
Secretary Morgan! hau.
Observera recalled that In the
paat when prealdentlal advisers
sought legislation entailing addi
tional expenditures, Morgenthau
had been consulted, and In come
cases the chief executive had In
sisted he must be satlafled before
the program went forward.
At hla preaa conference today.
Morgenthau aald the budget bu
reau la making a atudy to deter
mine whether corn loana could be
financed without disrupting the
prealdent'i lateat budget esti
mates. MorgenUtau said the chlof exec
utive wanted to know "If It can bo
done within the budget."
Th. treasury chief declined to
aay whether Mr. Roosevelt's re
vamped budget Indicated a neces
sity for new taxes. The buditi't
Jumped the groaa deficit forecast
by 2:;.000.uoo to 1895,000.000
Asked whether the prealdent's
prediction of a balanced budget
In the next fiscal year would be
attained. Morgenthau reaponded.
"I don't want to anawer that
question, and I would like you
not to draw any deductions from
that anawer."
The secretary said a 1256.000.

this fiscal year contained In the

OREGON FEDERATION
OF LABOR OPPOSES
PENSION SESSION
PORTLAND. Oct. 21 OP) The
first orgnnized opposition to the
proposed special session of the
legislature to enncte an old-age
pension transaction tax was un
derway today following an appeal
bv Hen T. Osborne, seeretury of
the Oregon State Federation of
Labor, to 425 affiliated unions to
comlint tho proposal.
"Do not ho deceived. A sales
lax by any other name is Just as
odious as If It were called a sales
tax," Osborne said In a letter to
the unions and to central and dis
trict councils.
The letter urged that unl-in
members refrain from signing pe
titions being clrculnted by the
Tnwnxond organizations asking
the session, and that they write
legislators opposing the proposed
tax If the session Is called.
It asserted that the suggestion
of a transaction tax for pension
purposes was a subterfuge, the
real purpose of the move being to
"relieve large property owners
and to prevent the imposition of
of heavier Income taxes upon the
larger incomes."
The letter recalled that Oregon
voters had turned down proposals
for a sales tax on three previous
occaalons.

BORAH ATTACKS
FARM CONTROL
AS PRICES HELP
Foreign Nations Will In
vade market, Surpluses
Needed, Solon Claims
By DAVID X. JOHNSON
United Press Muff Correspondent
MERIDIAN, Idaho, Olct. 21
(UP) Sen. William E. Borah,
R., Ida., predicted tonight that
under the philosophy of crop re
duction to maintain prices, the
American farmer would lose the
foreign market and would have to
fight for his life against foreign
encroachment In the home markut.
Borah assailed what he termed
"compulsory destruction of food
stuffs" and said that existing sur
pluses belonged "in the stomachs
of American children, millions of
whom are undernourished and
poorly clad."
Asks Federal Purchase
He revealed that during the
coming special session of con
gress, called to consider perma
nent farm legislation, he would
seek not to control production,
but ratber to have the government
buy up the surplus and see tbat It
gets to those In need of It.
Borab, speaking to a Pomona
grange meeting In tbia small agri
cultural community, said he could
not condone a measure which
would "virtually buy destruction."
Th. senator criticized Henry
Wallace, secretary of agriculture,
who he said, was "too candid to
effectively discuss a reduction
scheme."
Faulty Distribution
"Our candid secretary of sgri-
cultur. states, In effect," Borah
said, "tbat as America's share of
th. world's crops continues to de
crease we must make from time to
time reduction of acreage In order
to maintain prices. '
Borab said It was "wicked to
penalize the farmer, to put blm
in a straight-jacket for producing
that which the American people
sorely need but which we have not
yet found a way to distribute.
Borah said if the people as a
whol. could enjoy a decent stand
ard of living they would need at
least 10,000.000 more food pro
ducing acres to meet the demand,
- Nations Vp Supply
He said that when this country
"advertised" tbat It was going t
reduce acreage In any world com
modity. It "excited other nations
to Increase their acreage, which
other nations are now doing.
"Our good neighbor, Canada.
will put in two additional acres of
wheat for every acre w. reduce.
Our good neighbor on the south,
Argentina, will do likewise with
corn, and with our trade agree
ments opening our markets to
this increased production abroad,
where will the American farmer
finally land?" he asked.

Check of Instruments Re
veals Plane Blown Off
Course Into Mountains
By NEWTON STEARNS
United Press Staff Correspondent
SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 21
(UP) United Airlines tonight
blamed a sudden unexpected
squall which reached the Telocity
of a gale for the crash of a huge
transport plane In the northeast
ern Utah mountains Sunday night,
resulting In th. deaths of 19
persons.
In a formal statement by Major
R. W. Schroeder, manager of
operations, the company said that
occurrence and Intensity aloft of
the squall could not b. predicted
from the ground. The wind was
estimated to have been blowing
at 70 miles per hour where the
storm crossed the course of the
plane.
Blown Off Course
Schroeder said that a record
ing barograph found in the wreck
age of the giant transport showed
that Pilot Earl D. Woodgerd
climbed to 10,000 leet upon his
takeoff from Cheyenne and main
tained that altitude.
He emphasized that 10.000 feet
Is the normal flying altitude for
the Cheyenne-Salt Lake City run.
That height gives 2000 feet clear
ance above the highest ground on
the course regularly flown.
"Evidence indicates that the
plane collided with the higher
terrain approximately 17 miles
south of the regular course, while
in normal flying position, at nor
mal cruising speed, and headiug
toward the scheduled destination
showing that th. plane was func
tioning properly," Schroeder said
Weather Favorable
When the plane left Cheyenne
at 6:28 p. m. MST, Sunday
weather reports were favorable,
Schroeder said. Ceilings were re
ported 2000 to 6000 feet above
ground levels and visibilities from
