Curtailment of Government spend- Ing at the next session of Congress was favored yesterday by two legis- Sators who deal with tax-raising problems. Senator King, Democrat, of Utah, yanking majority member of the Finance Committee, advocated re- trenchment, but was not optimistic that it would prevail. Representative | Hill, Democrat, of Washington, chair- man of a House subcommittee which drafted the recent tax bill, was more hopeful. Both agreed with Chair- man Buchanan of the House Appro- priations Committee that the budget should be brought into closer bal- ance. “I agree with Mr. Buchanan,” said King, “but we are still on a spend- ing spree, and when we meet in January, there are going to be all kinds of demands for spending—the bonus, the Bankhead farm tenant bill, and others to exceed even the outlay of last session.” Hill Sees Will to Trim. Hill, however, insisted that there is “quite a sentiment” among mem- bers of Congress to “get down to & more economical basis.” He added: “The fact that the President is putting the emergency bureaus under the budget would indicate a drawing tn of horns. I think the tendency from now on is to trim down.” King said he thought Secretary Morgenthau was too optimistic in his recent announcement that current expenditures so far are well within | the budget estimate of Mr. Roosevelt. King to Fight Taxes. King, who has voted against many appropriation bills because of what he felt were unjustifiably large allow- | ances for Government undertakings, said he was going to fight next ses- slon for reduced taxes and appropria- tions. Hill agreed that “the least taxes you can impose the better off you will be.” emergency expenditures could be stoppd, the budget would be balanced with the new tax law, figured to raise $250,000,000 a year under preseat con- ditions and from $300,000,000 to $400,- 000,000 under “normal” conditions. “Of course,” Hill added, “much of the emergency outlay will come back. And I think that money ought to be used to retire the debt and not be touched for current expeuses, which ought to be met entirely with current taxes.” He said he believed that if| ANN LORING, Brooklyn girl, born Anita Kurtin, won a screen-test contest and a leading role in the movies.

The Commissioners tackled budget problems of the District welfare and penal institutions today, indlcating substantial cuts must be made in the proposals of the Board of Public Wel- fare for expenditure of $10,443,050 during the next fiscal year.

The‘ suggested welfare budget is the second largest of all offered. It is exceeded only by that for the public schools system, for which $18,041,000 was | asked. $2,000,000 for Emergency Relief. For emergency relief next year, wel- | fare officials sought $2,000,000, the same as appropriated out of District | revenues. However, Commissioner | George C. Allen has appointed a large committee to study the needs of future | operations in relief. ! Most of the mil- | lions being spent for. relief have come from the Federal Government. Two new programs are contem- plated in the welfare estimates. One iz a suggestion that Columbia Hospital be made an adjunct to Gallinger Mu- nicipal Hospital and be used only for | care of indigent obstetrical cases. For this purpose $60,000 is asked.
