Speaking before the semi-annual budget meeting of heads of govern- ment departments, the president said that a surplus of $599,000,000 was certain for the present fiscal year ending June 30, and estimated that the surplus for next year would reach $338,000,000. ’ Surplus Doubtful & As a guige to the future, ®t said, héwever, that this year’s surplus wa: of doubtful value, because it includ: ed a number of extraordinary receipts that could not be counted on for more t a limited _ period. among these extraordinary items de- layed income tax payments, railroad the capital stock tax and ections from farm loan bonds. n considering the possibility of tax reduction,” he said, keep in mind ‘that- our revenue laws cannot be itten from the stand- point of a single year, but must be expected to yicld adequate revenue over a period of years. It is essen- tial therefore to discount temporary. and non-recurring items and to base the estimated revenue on those re- sources which can be looked upon as essentially permanent in character. “We have no fear our present revenue laws will not produce ample income to carry on the business of ithe government.

It was the Distinguished Flying Cross, _con- ferred on him ‘in recognition of his thunderbolt flight across the Atlan- tic three weeks ago today. Mother With Him Riding beside his mother, who had been the first to meet him when he reached Washington at noon on the cruiser Memphis, the hero scarcely seemed to hear the plaudits of the crowds that packed the way of his triumphal journsy down Washing- ton’s most famous thoroughfare. He acknowledged the rolling cheers now and again with a nod of the uncov- ered head, but most of the way he sat unresponsive. As he rode past the postotfice department, where an airplane propeller had been hung above the entrance in recognition of his service as an air mail pilot, he barely turned his head and waved an acknowledgment. Even before the blonde young air mun had neared the monument grounds, the crowd there expanded almost incredibly. It surrounded solidly the small reception stand for nimost as far as the eye could see. Many more thousands were on-top of the distant knoils. ~ President Coolidge already was at his place on the reception stand. He sat under the protecting top of the stand with his high hut on. Occa- sionally he smiled at the crowd and turned to talk to those about him, Many Notables There idge. sitting to his right, bowed and smiled to nds in the the cabinet with ts on the presi- entire diplomatic gathered to the president’s left with members of the supreme court and of the semi-official recep- tion committee to the right. Shrill cries and cheers announced to the waiting throngs at the stands that Lindbergh was approaching. Is was just 1 ck when the car bearing the Viking of the air turned. into the monument grounds, The band struck up Sousa's “Stars and ipes Forever” and another deaf- ening roar went up from the crowd. With soldiers and police keeping his admirers out of the enclosure about him, Lindbergh quickly mount- ed to the platform. ie bowed ‘and shook hands with the _ president while Mrs. Coliaze drew Mrs. Lind- bergh to seat beside her. Lind- bergh was escorted to the place re- served for him while the great crowd came to its feet with a roaring wel- come that lasted for two minutes. Mr. Coolidge tried to begin hi spech of welcome, but had to down until the thousands hau ¢ their welcome to the young fle Mrs, Lindbergh Cheered Then Mr. Coolidge tried it again with more success. But his speech was interrupted with applause every time he alluded to the aviator. When he mentioned Mrs. Lindbergh, the crowd came to its feet with applause and cheers and a demand that she stand up. The president turned to her and she arose, bowing and smil- ing. The ceremonies crowned a reception such as the nation’s capital never be- tore had given to any person, no matter what his rank, station or oc- commlishment. ‘As the chief executive pinned the bronze medal, the first to be struck off, on the lapel of the blue sack coat of the world's hero, a mighty roar went up from the thousands up. on thousands who were massed in the broad expanse of the park sur- rounding the towering granite shaft erected to the memory of the first president.
