The story said eight cliques of rum runners are awaiting a chance

to land their cargoes, and have‘

reached an agreement. there shall be no price cutting.

The Christmas "shopping list" prices to consumers, the Bulletin said, will be fixed definitely after the rum runners figure out just how much it will cost w run the liquor past the coast guard. '

HOOVER ESTIMATES DEFICIT IN. PRESENT FISCAL YEAR AT OVER $1,l40,000;000

Referred to Appropiiations Com- lnittee

Congress received the new bud- get porfunctorily. The opening pages of the message were read and then the bulky document was referred to the appropriation com- mittees. The cilairman of the House appropriations committee, said most of the reduction made by the budget was in unemploy- ment relief benefits.

Discussing the deficit for this year, the President said: "Such a situation cannot be continued with- out disasier to the federal fin- ances."

'I‘he sales tax recommended by the President, was about the same as the one Democratic ways and means com- mittee leaders last spring. 1t was over that issue that a huge bloc of members bolted, leading to an eventual tax hill made up of mis- cellaneous excise and other levies.

Secretary Mills in his annual rc- port for the Treasury which went to Congress with the budget, said the less productive and most dif- ficult taxes imposed lut session should be repealed in make way for the blanket manufacturers‘ excise which, excluding only food products was estimated to yield about $055,- 000,000 in one year.

The document was drawn "up by the Woman Patriot Corporation and asserted that Einstein lied Communist affiliations and should be denied a visa.
