Levine in his transatlantic monoplane Columbia, in | pursuit of the longdistance record, | had to be postponed this morning for | at least another day because the plane, too overloaded, falled to rise from the ground after two futile at- tempts to take off. There had been some argument be- tween Levine and his pilot, Capt. Walter Hincheliffe, as to whether the field was dry enough for the attempt. It had been raining, but the sun came out brightly this morning and Capt. Hincheliffe was opposed to a further postponement, declaring that there was a limit to his patience and | that it was now or never. Fails to Leave Ground. The argument ended with both men entering the machine about 9 a.m., all garbed for the flizht. The engin was_ set going, but it was not until 10:30 a.m. that the first attempt was made to get into the air. This proved unsuccesstul after a 700-yard run. Then another try was made half an hour later with 20 gallons of gaso- line removed, but this proved equally unsuccessful. the Columbia's tail re- fusing to leave the ground. Levine, as he stepped from the plane, said that he and Capt. Hinch- cliffe would try some other plan to enable the Columbia to take the air tomorrow. Capt. Hincheliffe was by no means satisfied with the way the Columbia's engine worked and attributed the fail- ure of the machine to take off in large measure to this. He calculated that the propeller revolutions were far short of the maximum, probably as much as 100 revolutions a minute. Engine Expert on Job. An engine expert who is a_member | of the air force at Cranwell set to work immediately on the motor, |it was hoped that he would have it |in perfect order again by late after- noon.

Despite an outlook for Increased ap propriations for the Navy and War | Departments and for Mississippi flood control, President Coolidge does not regard these governmental expendi tures will place a barrier in substan- tial tax reduction by the new Con gress. Tho President, after a tentative |study of next ‘vear's budget, has | reached the view that additional Arm: land N expenditures, mainly of & non-military nature, although with the expectation of the Navy's requir |Ing increased funds for its shipbuild | ing program, should be authorized. Special Session Unnecessary. While Mr. Coolidge is said to have 4 that a special session for Mis ssippi flood legislation was not n ssary, he is understood to favor early consideration of the problem in the new Congress. But the administration also is expected to favor the granting of right of way to the tax bill. The Republican leade: including Representative Tilson of Connecticut, House majority leader, and Speaker Longworth have put forward the sug gestion that tax legislation should be the first measure on the new session’s program. The President considers that in v of the probability of the Army engi- neers’ report_on flood control not be- ing completed before November 15 or December 1, Congress could make no headway on this legislation before its regular convening in December. He. however, expected the congressional committees to accomplish much pre- liminary work in preparation for these measures. Budget Hearings Soon. Proponents of a heavy tax reduc- were encouraged by the Presi- dent’s views after his study of the budget. Administration leaders previ- ously have estimated the tax cut would aggregata $£300,000,000, During the last fiscal vear a surplus of $600,000.000 was accumulated at the Treasury, hut the indications are that for this fiscal vear not more than half this figure would be attained. However, the drop in the surplus is | w | not _expected to affect the consumma- tion of a_substantial lowering of taxes The Budget Bureau soon il initiate its preparation of estimates on governmental expenses for the nest fiscal and has set September 26 for its first hearing on proposed de- partmental expenditures, taking up the requirements of the Department of Agriculture. Chairman Madden of the House appropriations committee, has called a meeting of that body prior to the opening of Congress to consider the estimates informally, al- though the fiscal recommendations are - not made public until the President formally transmits them in his con gressional budget message.
