BALANCED BUDGET HINGES ON' ALLIES Al Estimates Include Ex- pected Debt Payments of $250,000,000. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. All estimates for balancing the budget beginning with the fiscal year that be- gins next July and ends June 30, 1933, include a $250,000.000 payment from the allies on war debts. If Europe doesn't pay, then the budget will not have been balanced. The pres- ence in the estimates of the $250,000,000 item, however, is notice to Europe that when the present moratorium ends in June it will not be renewed and the United States Government is counting on receipts from the allies as usual. This state of affairs was revealed upon inquiry at official sources in an effort to clear up recent statements of admin- | istration leaders to the effect that no increase in public debt was contem- plated with the 1933 budget. ‘The usual provision for sinking fund, amounting now close to $400,000,000, will be a wash-out transaction—that is, the Treasury will borrow the money, pay the sinking fund to cut down the debt momentarily, and turn around and put the public debt back to the total it amounted to before. Allied Payments Figure, As for the allied payments, however, these have been regularly a part of gen- eral receipts ever since the war and the granting of a one-year moratorium in- terrupted payments for 12 months, which has, of course, added to the geh- eral Treasury deficit. If the allies persist in the view that they cannot pay unless Germany pays them, then the United States will have to make up the $250,000,000 either by increased borrowing or by increased Tevenue from taxation. One way might be the new manufactures sales tax, which is expected to bring in more money than the present estimates. The economies thus far made are a matter of dispute, Mr. Hoover's state- ment indicating that some expenses have been deferred is in line with com- ment of Representative Howard of Ne- braska on the floor of the House last week to the effect that deficiency bills | will be required after December, when, | as he remarked, the elections will be | over and Congress will be face to face | with the necessity of meeting the de- | ferred items. | So Congress to date has not been able to make a material reduction in ex- penses, and the most that is claimed is a cut of $125,000,000 out of a $4,000,~ 000,000 budget. Just how the $250,000,~ 000 deficiency in allied payments will be made up if the present outlook for European payment is not changed is not generally discussed either at the Capitol or the executive end of Penn- sylvania avenue. Hopes Still Held. ‘There has been hope, of course, that the allies would pay something toward their debt, and it has been suggested that the Treasury cannot very well as- sume even a part payment, but must officially insist on full payment till an agreement to the contrary is reached. Meanwhile, moves in Europe to ad- Jjust reparations and war debt payments are expected this Summer, so that the December session of Congress will be confronted with the concrete problem of accepting part payment or granting another year's moratorium. Sentiment against another extension is strong in Congress, but there is no telling what reception an adjustment of the pay- ments might receive, The tendency is not to regard the debts as in a pool, but to treat with each.debtor sepa- rately. The fact remains that unless Europe pays something di the fiscal year ‘beginning next July- fact, the first payments come due in December—there will be a sizable item to disturb the ‘budget that is supposed to be in process of being balanced by the present (Copyright, 1932.)

PARIS, March 10—The ministry of agriculture yesterday barred from | France all fresh fruits and plants from the United States that might carry the San Jose scale—an action that was described by the American Cham- ber of Commerce as one of the heav- | jest blows United States trade with France has suffered in the last few | months. The Chamber of Commerce an- nounced it was studying methods of combating the decree and that it would | make every effort to protect the in- | terests of American fruit exporters. Last year American fruit growers ex- between $2,000,000 and $5,000,- 000 worth of apples to France. | ‘The embargo was a complete one American interests expressed 2 hope however, that a loophole might be found in an article providing that au- | thorization might be granted for the importation of certain kinds of fruit handled in the country of origin in such a way as to give every assurance that they were not carriers of San Jose scale. These imports would be made under conditions and through custom houses specified by an order from the min- ister of agriculture after obtaining an opinion from & committee of experts. ‘The said this possibility for the imj tlon of scale-free fruits would be followed up. ——— FIELD MOUSE RUNS 20 MILES IN ONE NIGHT | University of Michigan Assembles Rodents to Study Their Racial Features.

BUCHAREST.—The little 10-year- old Crown Prince and former King of | Rumania has become an ardent hunter, and since the wilds of his country are rich with all kinds of game, from rab- bits to bear, he has recently had | plenty of opportunity to practice his | art, never failing to be present at every royal shooting party. | His father, the King, very evidently at first took him along as a companion, as | he usually does on all occasions, and on the first hunt of the season, which | was in the wilds of Moldavia, where | | bear and timber wolves are plentiful, | | he was able to steal out of the hunting | lodge long before the break of day | | while little Mihai lay slumbering. | | One or two disappointments, however, | aroused the ingenuity of the boy. On the following party held on an important royal hunting estate plans | were again made to slip out and leave the boy sleeping. The alde of the | King tiptoed in long before there was a break of day and woke him, but his gun was not to be found. The search | finally woke up the boy, who rolled | ever and said: “You would go off again without me. Here is your gun, I took it to bed with me.” Chain Store Bill Killed.

B: the Associated Press, DENVER, March 10.—Three men g0 on trial next Monday for the kidnaping of Benjamin P. Bo wealthy bakery executive, last January. Instead of the $50.000 ransom money they are alleged to have demanded for Bower's release, they may get a seven-year penitentiary term, the maximum for kidnaping in Colorado. - The three are Joe Pennell, George W. Reed and A. N. Taylor. Capture of the trio and their indict- ment was the result of a clever plan conceived and executed by police work- ing in close co-operation with news- | paper men. | Bower was given his liberty when, other measures having failed, psychol- ogy was employed to throw distrust and fear into the hearts of the abductors. Leader Commits Suicide. The plan worked so well that the leader in the kidnap plot, Joseph Riley, murderer and escaped convict, put a bullet through his head as police ham- mered at his door. A fifth man involved in the plot turn:d informer and secured liberty by furnishing damaging evidence against the others in a sworn deposition. Bowers was kidnaped January 19. Two of the plotters seized Mrs. Clara Poole and Mrs. T. H. Winbourn and forced them to accompany them to the Bower home. As Mrs. Bower opened the door she was forced inside at pistol point and the whole party was herded into one room, where Bower was singled out. Eyes Bound With Tape. Before the two kidnapers, disguised with large colored _spectacles, _took Bower away, they ordered Mrs. Bower to have $50,000 in cash ready for them the next morning. Bower's eyes were not be able to identify the cabin where he was to be held or any of the men in the plot. A coast-fo-coast man hunt brought no results. Then was conceived the to confuse the kidnapers. It worked far more successfully than was expected. ‘The police authorized a “fake” letter, which was published as having been received by Mrs. Bower from the ab- ductors. The latter, ignorant of such & letter, suspected each other of a dou- ble-crass and decided to liberate Bower without going further with their plans. RE-UPHOLSTERING 3-Pc.
