The Administration's admission of a. deficit of nearly six billions shows the piper of spending days must be paid from higher taxes. Anything calculated to remind voters of another drain on the pocket* book is not welcomed in an election Season. The mad scramble tq adjourii is particularly apparent in the House where all must seek re-election while only one-third of the Senate has this weighty problem to solve. Unmistakable signs that the Congress is drawing to a close is given in the strategy adopted by leaders. They have shown a disposition to accept amendments to controversial measures as a means of curtailing debate and thus hasten the passage of disputed bills. Majority Leader Robinson was so anxious to have a bill aimed at chain stores, which he sponsored, put through the. Senate that he swallowed unpalatable amendments. Resentment against this procedure crops up occasionally when the Senate and House realize that this parliamentary device strips them of considerable power to shape the course of legislation. Under the rules, the conferees, as the joint-committee is known, may re-write, measures and force the two chambers to accept or reject their drafts without change. A conference between the (Senate arid House is. nothing more than a compromise system in which the best trader wins. The power of such groups was illustrated recently When a young Democratic Senator asked that a veteran Republican colleague should take his place because of a known ability to wheedle the House. Widespread interest is attached to the parliamentary maneuvers in the House with regard to the forced vote on inflationary legislation as contemplated in the Frazier-Lemke bills to liquidate and refinance farm indebtedness. Administration chieftainshave kept the measure bottled up in the Rules Committee for a year. Persistent campaigning by sponsors for this bill has forced the measure to a vote. It is claimed that the enacttttent will have a damaging effect on government credit which, of course, directly affects all private business. The politicians look beyound this as-: pfect because the breakdown of the j barricade is attributed to propaganda t by the Father Coughlin pressure-, group. A situation of this sort car-] ries many partisan. implications. A! vote is due May 11, but it is likely that opponents of the inflationary, scheme may retard a vote by a few parliamentary tricks still at their command. Level-headed political Campaigners do not want three billions of paper money flooding the country at this time because of its . demoralizing effect on prices and phages. The taxi bill now before the Senate is the pacemaker for all legislation. The Administration wants to defer controversial measures. The Wagner bill to provide low-cost housing in slum areas is not in a good position for enactment. The Walsh-Healy bill >to «s tab Hah working and hour conditions which prevailed under NRA codes for all suppliers of material to the government is snarled in the House. Frantic efforts are underway to salvage the food and drug bill, the copyright revision scheme and relief projects from extinction through House inaction. The Wagner housing idea hit snags because of the failure of local governments to pay their -share of relief costs. Blundering publicity stunts are a ' source of -concern for the active political leaders. The two parties have been made ridiculous by poor timing of campaign material. Four years ago the Democratic propaganda machine whooped charges with great j effectiveness against Candidate Hoov- j er. Now that they are in a defensive j •position, the publicists find it difficult1 to reverse the gears. A policy which •clearly indicates a desire to stifle criticism has brought a hostile re-J . action. The G.O.P. attack on thej New Deal through the press and ra- j dio has not been handled skillfully | with the result that the ensuing era-1 barassments make selected spokesmen unwilling to lend their names to publicity material. [ :,\?;-The political picture is also cloudfnfr with uncertainty over the character of platforms which must be boilt at next month's nominating conventions. Both parties are plagued With psychological problems. The defeatist sentiment now prevailing in some Republican camps as surveys reveal symptoms of Roosevelt strength is checking contributions to j the war chest. Their opponents find that optimism likewise retards collections from faithful party workers. This reluctance to contribute to party funds is traceable to a feeling that millions Who benefited from Federal relief funds will not turn their backs on a gift-horse in a campaign year.

ALBERT ROftIG, Administrator. 48-3 -Steal Fence A mystery presented to Mlddleboro (Mass.) police was the disappearance of 100 cedar posts which supported a fence surrounding a cow pasture, The posts had been sawed off close-to the ground. NEW YORK.--The danger of a wild inflation is grave, James Harvey Rogers, the Yale professor under whose guidance President Roosevelt bolted the gold standard and adopted the policy of a managed currency, declared." His warning came as a shook to his listeners in a meeting of the Academy of Political Science. They had expected him to defend the President's actions. Prof. Rogers, in justifying his previous position, said that with the setting Atip of the new monetary system controls had been provided. Great care was taken, he said, not to permit the devaluation of the dollar to Increase member bank reserves. Largely to assure this result the two billion dollar stabilization fund was created.* Acted to Avoid inflation. "In the new banking legislation still further care was taken to provide additional and entirely ample power to curb any undesirable Inflation which might make Its appearance," he said. "The authority of the new board of governors of our federal reserve system to raise the legal reserve requirements of the member banks by 100 per cent if necessary would seem to be s sufficiently powerful check for any probable emergency. "With such safeguards provided In the monetary legislation and with such powerful checks In the hands of our central banking authorities, what then can be the danger from even large and continued budget deficits? Deficits Are Danger. "The answer Is clear. Continued budget deficits require continued treasury financing. Treasury financing st reasonable rates requires easy snd^ plentiful money conditions. Bnt all the checks to Inflation provided ID oar money and banking system are based upon reversing our easy money policy and turning It Into a tight money policy. "Hence, continued budget deficits snd the resulting heavy government (inane- Ing will lead to an. inevitable clash between the policies of our treasury and those of our central hanking authorities. Which policy will wlnT In all the poet-war European inflations It was those of the treasuries, The Inflation peril here Is very great." . Vitions Rise in National Debt Washington, D. C.--The United States national debt on April 8 stood at SI billion 440 million dollars, nearly 2V4 billions over the debt on April 8 last year. Acting Budget Director Daniel Bell told a congressional committee he expected the debt to soar to 34% billions by July. THE CRACKER BARREL Guess who said this: "If we run into such debts as that we mutt be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries Snd our comforts . . . our people (the English) must come to labor 16 hours in 24, give the earnings of 15 of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses; and the sixteenth, being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live as they do, on oatmeal and potatoes . . The above Is a quotation from the father of Democracy, Thomas Jefferson. It was no surprise to W esichtsier county, N. Y., whose fresh water streams art limited to a few babbling brook*, when the county received a consignment of chloride of lime for flood relief purposes. Westchester previously had been given an allotment of 1100.000 to eradicate malaria fever, although there hadn't been a COM of malaria reported in 30 yean. The days run Into weeks, the weeks Into months and Professor Tugwell's strange silence continues. Evidently some basis for the current report that Farley has succeeded in gagging the Number I Brain Truster until after election. Chief Clause of Deatk...... Heart diseases caused more deaths than any other disease during the last fiscal year, killing more than 800,000. Cancer caused 135,000 deaths. $25,000 FARMS Matanusks, Alaska.--Five million dollars is now estimated to be the total cost of the Tugwell home steading project here to which 200 Minnesota families were moved for a "fresh start in life." On that basis the total cost to the taxpayer would be $25,000 a family. So severe are the Alaskan win ters and so unsatisfactory the farm land and the bureaucratic manage ment, it is expected that only 50 families will remain. This would bring the sverage cost to $100,000 a family. Looks Like the Erosion Is Ruining the Treasury Phoenix, Ariz.--The WPA will spend $3«.4in to "coi-reot" the erosion along seven miles of Unjj^d Stntes Highway 80 In southwestern Arizona. The following description Is provided by the WPA : - "The construction of the highway through this section concentrates drain age In the borrow pit so that erosion has since scarred tlie right .of way. It is planned In this project to fill these objectionable ditrhes and to construct Class C concrete spillways^ and tilling wells to prevent further detrimental soil loss; together; with rounding and sloping of all slopes and beautifying rock gardens and parking areas with local desert flora. HeautitVcatlon and prevention of . erosion are the particu lar aims of this project." Perhaps the WPA is unaware of the fact that the soil erosion service, spending millions of dollars of WPA and PWA funds, is already on the scene in this same region where It Is undertaking the greatest erosion con trol project in the world.

A man who appeared before the com mittee. Identifying himself as "David Stock, attorney. 170 Broadway, New York" and "associated with a firm thai Is counsel for many corporations." was so far opposed to the other corporation attorneys present In his defense of the "surplus tax," he aroused the suspicion of the committee, the majority of which Is composed of New Deal henchmen. The man supported the President's tax plan vigorously. When asked if he was not a lobbyist for the treasury de partment he refused to answer. Later Arthur Kent, general counsel for the Internal revenue bureau, admitted that Stock Is a special counsel for the fed eral communications commission. Mfestinghouse YOU FULL DOLLAR VALUE Red Tape Scares Away Bids on PWA Project Chicago.-- So discouraging Is the red tape under Roosevelt bureaucratic ad ministration. <?nly three contractors here offered to bid on the PWA'S $1,500,000 housing project on the West side. The head of one of the coun try's largest building concerns, located in Chicago.^explained: "Red tape and approval by. countless officials tie up everything. Samples have to be approved by one after an other official In Washington. Plan* drawn by Chicago's tfest architects have to go to Washington' and wan der back and forth from one official to another, most of whom know noth Ing of local conditions. Shop draw ings have to be approved. Nothing can be done unless Washington ap proves. '•Natnrally, all this red tape and delay are boosting prices. TlW 2,790,(Mm cubic feet in the Jane Addams house> will cost about cents per cubic foot, based on the lowest bid of $1,349, 000.'
