MUSKEGO, Wis., April 19.—The
death early today of a 17-year-old
girl and the finding of the body of a
2’/2-year-old boy brought to nine the
number of persons of one family who
were killed when an explosive sub
stance stored in the basement of their
farm home near here blew up.
The mother, Mrs. Mary Waszak, 54,
and seven children were seated around
the family radio last night when the
explosion demolished their home.
Louise Waszak succumbed to in
juries in a hospital. The body of
Raymond Waszak, 2'/2, was found to
day.
Coroner Martin Fromm said evi
dence indicated that 50 pounds of
pyrotol, used for blasting stumps, had
caused the explosion.
Physicians said six of the children—
John, jr„ 18; Lottie, 16; Elinore, 14;
Helen, 12; Frank. 8, and Joseph, 5—
all died within a few hours from skull
fractures. The mother was killed
instantly.
John Waszak, the father, told a
hysterical story of how the house
raised off the ground and "scattered
like matchwood" as he stepped out
of the bam where he had been "doing
the chores.”
Del Meyer, a neighbor, said the ex
plosive was about four years old and
was thought to have become ineffec
tive from age.
“It might have been set off by a
slight jar or by mice chewing on it,”
he said. "The pyrotol was stored in
the milk shed up to about a week ago.
Then Waszak apparently became ap
prehensive somebody might tamper
| with it and removed it to the base
ment of the house. Some of it was
about four years old and wouldn't
work.”
j Two other children were not at
home when the explosion occurred.
| Parts of the 10-room house were
i strewn over an acre of ground.

Budget

budget could be balanced by the be
ginning of the 1938 fiscal year as
Mr. Roosevelt predicted last January.
Tax receipts were $100,000,000 be
low estimates in March, indicating total
receipts for the period possibly will be
as much as $500,000,000 below the
estimates on which the President's
prediction was based.
Enactment af a new railroad pension
bill would put a $100,000,000 dent in
Federal revenue forecasts. It would
provide refunds in this amount for
taxes already paid by railroads and
their employes under existing retire
ment legislation.
Authoritative persons said the ad
ministration hopes to start the new
fiscal year, July 1, with a substantial
•
cash balance, and that It thus may
refinance the maturing bills in June.
Working Cash Total.
At present, the Treasury's work
ing cash stands at $834,359,000. Sec
retary Morgenthau has said he
hopes to keep it at the $1,000,000,000
level.
The Brookings report showed the
level of Federal expenditures had risen
from about $1,000,000,000 annually be
fore the World War to about $7,000,
000,000 annually for the last three
fiscal years.
During the period from the end of
the war till the depression, Byrd said,
Government spending leveled off at
about $3,000,000,000 a year.
He said the report constituted an
introduction to an exhaustive survey
undertaken by Brookings as a basis for
reorganization legislation.

Departmental Growth Shown.
The Brookings survey showed that
Government departments have grown
so rapidly that eight structures as
large as the Empire State Building,
New York, would be required to house
their Washington staffs alone. Byrd
said. Fifty-two similar skyscrapers
would be needed to accommodate
Federal employes working outside
the Capital, he added.
“During the 1920s • • • the Gov
ernment lived within Its means and
reduced the 26-billion-dollar war debt
to approximately 16 billions by 1930,“
the Senator asserted in a statement.
“Since that date the debt has been
doubled and Federal expenditures in

Byrd said the Brookings report re
vealed that pay rolls made up the
largest item of administrative cost,
amounting to $1,500,000,000 a year—
exclusive of relief, military and pen
sion expenses. It showed 28 agencies
employing more than 1,000 persons
each on September 30, 1936, and
"scores of others’’ with 100 or more
workers.
