_4 FEDERAL ECONOMY IS THREATENED DUE ~ TO FIXED EXPENSES Balary and Personnel Reduction Loom If Flat Cut of Funds Is Ordered ‘Washington, May 1—(?)—Financial authorities said Saturday a flat 10 per cent cut in government appropria- tions for the next year would involve salary and personnel reductions, A proposal to withhold 15 per cent of each appropriation in the hope that it would not be needed, they added, would bring no savings in many cases, because some of the im- pounded money would have to be re- leased to meet obligations already} fixed by law. Because of these “fixed charges’”— - interest on borrowed money, veterans’ aid, etc.—reductions can be effected in only about half of the govern- ment’s costs, declared, or in $4,- 000,000,000 of the $7,724,000,000 bud- get. The latter figure includes debt tetirement. $400,000,000 Saving Seen If 10 per cent were chopped off this flexible” half of the government's @osts, the officials said, the saving fwould be about $400,000,000. This would necessitate salary cuts ‘nd reduction of staffs, they contend- @d, because about $700,000,000 of next year’s expenditures are slated for ‘personal services.” Some congress- men, however, have suggested making further cuts in relief costs for next vear. Although congressmen have not @iscused the possibility of reductions 4m salaries and personnel, fiscal au- thorities said a few such cuts are be- ing made. The treasury reported Saturday, that 206 emergent¢y tech- nical employes would be dismissed May 15, because of curtailment of federa) buildings. Defense Costs Fixed Among the expenditures which of- ficlals said cannot be reduced, the largest is $953,000,000—12 per cent of| Dic! the budget—for national defense. A Gecrease, they pointed out, would mean disrupting a long-range naval construction’ program and other proj- ects already under way. fixed by law will require $1,200,000,000, or 16 per cent of the budget. Other “rigid” items are $570,000,000 for vet- erans’ pens(oi 000,000 for social security and $53,- 000,000 for expected tax refunds, NTINUE]) -from Dage one: Bureau Business and in Canade.

Strip teasers and male comics, too, more than a little alarmed in the past week by the gales of protest rag- ing around them, had turned con- trite at the last minute and tried to temper their shows. But the commissioner took heed of, leaders and turned down the applica- tions of the theater owners for new Acenses. In a statement, the commissioner specified the old Eltinge theater in 42d street but explained that what he said about this theater was ap- Blicable to the other 13. “Coarse, vulgar and lewd” were @escriptive adjectives Commissioner Moss used. He said he had given the utmost consideration to the fact that the theaters employ between 600 and 700 Persons, but that the welfare of the public was plainly imperilled by “the type of performance, the language used ,and the display of nudity.” » CONTINUED from page one Fargoan to Direct Bismarck’s Initial Bridge Tournament prefer something besides cups as prizes.
