Special Dispatch 1o The Star. CHICAGO, July 1.—Gov. Franklin D. | Roosevelt cf New York is closer to the | necessary two-thirds vote than any candidate has ever been in Democratic convention history without actually win- | ning the presidential nomination. | Whether the adjournment taken after | a 12-hour session means that the New | York Governor has reached his maxi- mum and will never attain the goal, or | whether he is only temporarily halted | on his way to a hard-fought triumph is something which the sleepy-eyed delegates, tired and exhausted leaders nd weary onlookers could hardly try to | answer as they left the convention hall | | this moruing when the gavel fell, eager for food and sleep.

The opposition, huwever,; | was ready for the endurance test and | grimly set itself to the task of blocking | the Roosevelt nomination and bringing about a deadlock. Two Viewpoints. | There are two ways to analyze the | three ballots taken before adjournment. One is to look at it from the anti- | Roocevelt viewpoint and another is to appraise it from the Roosevelt view- | paint. The opposition to Roosevelt, or rather the non-Roosevelt votes, amount- ed to 472, which is 86 votes more than | the 386 which constitutes the veto power in a Democratic National Con- | vention _As long as the votes opposed to the Roosevell nomination are co- hesive and have 70 to 80 votes fo spare | beyond the necessary one-third they | | can carry on the balloting frem now until past the Fourth of July in a dead- lock or prolonged attrition. | The purpose would be to convince the | Roosevelt delegates that their candi- dates could not be chosen, and that some | other candidate would be preferable. The weakness in this situation is that the non-Roosevelt delegations have not any single candidate on whom they | are agreed, and there is always the possibility that between Roosevelt and smpromise choice offered by some of the non-Roosevelt forces, that about | 80 or 90 votes could be found that would not go salong with the new candidate proposed, and would prefer Roosevelt, Looking at the picture from the Reosevelt viewpoint, the New York Governor is the leading candidate. He | is lacking less than 90 votes to go over | the top with the necessary two-thirds.| should any one now on the Roose- | velt band wagon get off? What in- ducements can the opposition offer in a political] way?

Miller FEDERAL DEFILT | S LRS00 Receipts Drop $1,196,000,- 000 From 1931 as Costs | Rise $786,000,000. ‘ By the Astociated Press. - The Government ended the fiscal year last night with a $2.885.000,000 deficit, compared with one of $803- 000,000 for 1931. In making the announcement today, Secretary of the Treasury Mills sald total receipts for the year amounted to $2,121,000,000, a decline of $1,196,-| 000,000 from 1931, while expenditures| were $5,006,000,000, a gain of !’168.»‘ 000,000 over the previoms year. | The Increase, Mills said, may be ac- counted for by expanded governmental construction activities and payments under the settlement of war claims act, | the postal defliciency and payment for the capital stock of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and the Federal land benks. | $412,000,000 Debts Retired. Mills said retirements of United States obligations to meet sinking fund requirements chargeable against ordi- nary receipts total $412,000,000, so the deficit, exclusive of debt retirement, amounted to $2,473,000,000 The total gross debt outstanding was | increased by $2,686,000,000 during the year. One of the principal tasks of Congress this session has been the enactment of legislation to make the budget balance during the present fiscal year. 1t passed the new reyenue law to in- crease taxes by more than a billlon dollars and the national economy bill to reduce expenditures by $150,000,000 to $175,000,000. In addition heavy slashes have been made in some of the appropriation bills. Deficit Above Estimate. | Mills said “the Federal finances for the fiscal year just closed reflect the effect of the unprecedented depression upon both the revenues and the out- lays of the Government The deficit was $762,000,000 larger than the estimate of $2,123.000,000, which was presented in the annual re- port of the Secretary. Expenditures exceeding the estimate of $4,482,000,000 by $524,000,000 as a result of subsequent autherizations by Congress for the purchase of capital stock of the Reconstructon Finance Corporation and Federal Land Banks, which together aggregated $625,000,000. Expenditures exclusive of these two items were $101.000.000 less than esti- mated. Total ordinary receipts were $238.000.000 less than estimated, due to the fact that business did not main- tain the expected level of activity.
