Washington, Dec. 4.—Appropriations rggregating $3,075,940,331 for the fis- tal year beginning July first were pro- posed today to congress by President Harding in the second annual federal budget. This is exclusive of the postal service and compares with actual ap- propriations for the fiscal year totalling $8,274,238,690. Government expenditures for the com- ing fiscal year, exclusive of the postal service, were estimated at $3,180,843,234 as compared with an estimate of $3,703,- 801,671 for this fiscal year and an act- ual outlay of $3,795,302,439 for the fis- cal year ended last June 30. The total federal revenue for 1924 was reckoned at $3,361,812,359 or an excess of $180,969,125 over projected ex- penditures. The estimated revenue for this fiscal year was $3,429,862,959, or $273,938,712 less than the expectéd out- lay., Mr. Harding said, however, that it was hoped to eliminate this defict be- fore the end of the year, gdding that if this hope were not realized the expected surplus for 1924 would give a margin to_take care of a deficit. In his message accompanying the de- tailed budget, the president frankly told ress that whether the country could look forward to any further material re- duction in federal expenditures and tax- #s.in future years depended largely upon whether there was a curtailment or ex- pansion of federal aid in lines of re- search, improvement and development Attention was called by the executive that _approximately two-thirds of the estimated outlay was on account of practically fixed charges, such as pen- sions and world war allowances, public debt, principal and interest, federal aid wnd national defense, so that there was only about $1,000,000,000 sabject to administration control.

The routine sessions .winding up the special sesslon and opening the new de- veloped little business and drew small crowds. Formal surrender of the sem- ate republicans -to the demoeratic fili- buster against the Dyer anti-lynching bill ended the tie-up and allowed -con- firmation. of about 1,700 delayed nom- inations before the final gavel of the special sesion, but the nomination of Pierce ' Butler, St. Paul attorney, to be asoclate justice of the supreme court failed and went over until the new ses- sion through opposition of Senators LaFollette, republican, Winconsin, Nor- ris, republican, Nebraska, and others. Receipt of the annual budget was the principal. business of today's session. The usual committees called on Presi- dent Harding and notified him of the assembling of the new session, but were not advised definitely when the presi- Ldent ‘would present his opening message. It was belleved the president would ad- dress ‘congress in joint session Wednes- day, with a-message stressing the ad- ministration's desire for enactment of the_ shipping bill, farm credits legislation and the #nnual supply bills in the hope of. cleaning up all business by March 3 and avolding an extra session of ‘the new ' congress next spring. scheduled to be bronght oy Tr! to-- '@ prompt -répiy. ‘to-the senate. -There. were indications;, tdday; “however, of some . de- s ‘programme.

There. was no discussion oc division when Chairman Volstead asked and ob- tainel consent for such authorization. He explained that the committee, earlier in the day, had agreed unanimously to take this course. The committee, under the house resolution, also will have au- thority to swear witnesses and sit regard- less of the sessions of the house. Appearing before the committee with Jackson ~H. Ralston as his counsel, Mr. Keller declared that he was not pre- pared to proceed at once, that it would be necessary for the house to order the at- tendance of some wfiesses who would not come voluntarily. It was also neces- sary, he said to get possession of certain papers from the files of the department of justice which he could not obtain through his own efforts. In.the event that wit- nesses were subpoenaed, Mr. Keller stated that he would be ready to go ahead with- in a week. and Dec. 12 finally was fixed as the time for taking up the charges. The bill of particulars, in which Mr. Keller set forth fourteen charges against the attorney ge;®<al, and the latter's an- swer, made public last night. were for- mally filed with the committee. Later in the day Representative Woodruff, repub- lican, Michigan, asked that the two doc- wments be printed in the congressional record in parallel coumns. but Repre- sentative Johnson, republican, -Washing- ton, objected.
