Steps To Be Taken
Next Year Toward
Balancing Budget
Of Nation ,
WASHINGTON. Aug JO MP—
Congressmen Friday were told the
government must slacken its spend
ing next year and, If possible, bal
ance the budget.
• The statement was by Chairman
Buchanan of the house appropria
tions committee. This group orig
inates legislation for both emergen
cy and regular government expend
itures.
In the Congressional Record
Buchanan presented revised figures
in appropriations for the session
Just closed. flier totaled $10,073,
370.M3 including $500,000,000 for the
reconstruction corporation.
The Texan defended the large to
tal by explaining "the effects of the
depression and Its consequent un
employment and paralysing econom
ic conditions are still upon us.” He
added that more than half of the
money was for emergency and re
lief purposes.
The recent appropriations total
by Taber (R-N. Y.) of “more than
eleven and a half billion dollars,"
was criticized by Buchanan as a
•figure which exceeds the actual to
tal by more than three and a half
billion dollars."
“Progress Is being made toward
recovery in substantial form." Buch.
anan said. “Large appropriations
and expenditures nave been neces
sary for emergency purposes. At
the coming session the appropria
tions must be materially reduced
and if possible the budget balanced."
He also refuted Taber’s predic
tion that the public debt would
reach $40,000,000,000 at the end of
the 1936 fiscal year.
Instead he estimated 34 billion
dollars. It is my hope that It will
be less than that."
Buchanan said Improved business
and government revenues may cut
down relief costs so all of the funds
appropriated this year may not be

At The Theaters
CAPITOL
Three of filmland’s moat brilliant
stars add to their laurels In the
1 spectacular production. “China
! Seas," which shows Friday and Sat
urday at the Capitol. Brownsville.
The stars are Clark Gable, Jean
Hat low and Wallace Beery, to
gether again for the first time in
almost five years.
And it Is a stirring story of ad
venture and romance, a story that
teems with lusty action ana
abounds with strange emotional
qualities that brings them together.
The locale Is, perhaps, the strang
est and most fascinating yet seen
on the screen—the wilcf southeast
coast of China, last stronghold of
twentieth century pirates. It is a
region of howling tropical hum
canes, and of strange perils. All of
these have their part In the film,
the physical dangers providing a
fitting background of the powerful
human drama of fierce loves, bitter
! hates and sinister Intrigue.
All the action takes place aboard
the wheezy old liner Kin Lung as
it plows down the coast between
Hongkong and Singapore, with the
white passengers In the cabins ana
the coolies crowded Into the fore
cpstle. Gable Is the hard-bitten
young skipper. Miss Harlow Is an
exotic of the Oriental ports who is
not ashamed to show her love for
Oable. Been’ Is apparently a bluff
trader In pigs, but his obvious oc
cupation masks his more sinister
activities as the “brains” of the
pr-atea.

popular heroic figure hi OolamMa'i
dramatic production, "Whirlpool,*’

flourishing profession receives a
powerfully dramatic set-back, how
ever. when his name is linked with
that of his Innocent wife and
daughter, who all these years had
believed him to be dead.

NEW LIQUOR
BILL SIGNED
Metturt Establishes Control
Agency to Replaco That
Crippled By Conrt
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. —V*V
President Roosevelt Friday signed
the bill establishing a new alcohol
control agency to replace the one
crippled by the supreme court's NRA
decision.
. Jt puts the new administration in
the treasury and in charge of a
code forbidding false advertising,
misrepresentation on labels and
other practices considered unfair.
The bill ban the sale of liquor In
and from barrels. This provision
was ths center of prolonged contro
versy in congress.
Largely at the insistence of Re
presentatives Fuller (D-Arfc.) and
Duncan (D-Mo), the house origin
allv voted to permit such sales.
Secretary Morgenthau contended
it would take an “army" to enforce
the liquor tax laws If such permis
sion were granted, however, and the
senate supported him.
Representative Fuller asserted
that the treasury—not Morgenthau
directly, but some of his aide*—were
under the control of the "whisky
trust" which, he added, has a com
plete monopoly of gw bottle busi
But the house yielded to Morgen
thaw's view finally, despite a part
ing prediction by Fuller that “this
will cause m a bigger liquor seam
da! than ever existed before pro
htbttion."
