TREASURY FAGING BRIGHTER FUTURE Results of Congress’ Efforts to Balance Budget to Be Apparent Soon. Editor's mote: This is the second of hree stories recapitulating the vast emergency efforts of the last session of Congress. B the Associated Press. A brighter outlook faces the United Btates Treasury today thah for many long months past, thanks to the biparti- san efforts of a persistent Congress to balance the budget. The cry of “balance the budget” echosd through the recent Congress from beginning to end, equally as strong as demands for emergency relief legislation and with results that were | comprehended only partially by the people of the Nation. In building the giant arch to bridge the Treasury chasm, Congress began at both ends. seeking to add more than a billion dollars to Treasury receipts and cutting almost as much from the ex- Ppenditures, Only time will tell how well Congress did its job. The new fiscal year is less than a month old. but by the time Con- gress returns in December, Treasury ex- perts expect to be able to size up the situation and decide whether the arch needs a few more stones. Tax Law Is Keystone. ‘The keystone of the budget-balancing structure was the gigantic tax law es- tim to add $1,118,500,000 to the Nation's revenue which had dwindled sharply with falling incomes. Almost as important was the de- termined drive to cut Government ex- Ppenditures. When the National Economy Bill was riddled in the House and passed with economies of only about $40,000,000, the Nation got the impression the campaign for_reduced appropriations had failed. The bill was rebuilt in the Senate, however, and finally passed with a to- tal of about $150,000,000 in savings, in- cluding a drastic payless furlough for Gevernment employes. But this was only a small part. of the program. The biggest economies were made in the annual supply bills carry- ing appropriations for the Government departments. S Economy Drive Relentl \ Using the prun! knife r:lenuu&gx Congress cut. an additional $184,000,0 from the already sharply curtailed bud- get estimates, making a total saving :{113334,000,000. including the econcmy Chairman Jones of the Senate Ap- propriations Committee estimated a to- tal reduction of $1,007,353,618 had been made in appropriations, including all supplemental and irregular funds. The Democrats challenge these figures. Some of the savings undoubtedly will be Jost through deficiency appropria- tions at the nexi session, but Gov- ernment officials say the Federal ma- chine is operating today with far less money than formerly. Congress also authorized President Hcover to ra certain of the Government _agencies in the interest of economy and he alrady has transferred the radio division of the Commerce De- partment to the Radio Commission. Finally the Senate, continued its spe- clal Economy Committee to study. the operation of the Government and rec- ommend further reductions next De- ‘cember. — EGYPT CALLED HOME OF EARLY SCIENCES Mathematics, Medicine and Surgery Known in Land of Nile Centuries Ago. Declari Egypt was the seat of a high civ’fi-fimn as early as 3500 B.C. Dr. George S.

Tke oldest religious rritings in the world are found in the ids of 2600 B.C. The earliest own monctheism was reached about 1400 B.C. The Hebrews were influenced by the culture of the Egyptians, since the Bible says ‘Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians.’ “This civilization was transmitted to the Greeks and Romans, who passed it on with modification and additions to THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, 9. €, WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 1932.
