1932 HOOVER BUDGET NEARLY FOUR BILLION; IS SENT TO CONGRESS PRORLEM OF MUSCLE SHOALS IS EXPECTED TO GET FIRST CALL I WELL KNOWN WOMAN SPEAKER WILL MAKE TWO ADDRESSES HERE Granddaughter of Former Publisher of New York i I i i i 1 I- Congress Settles for AU-WinterTask; Prelim-inaries Over i FACES DUSY SESSIONS Immigration, Unemployment ami Farm Relief Sharing Spotlight BY WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON I. N. S. Staff Correspondent Washington, Dec.

3 (INSKA11 amen ites aside, the seventy-first congress set tied down today to an all-winter grind with a program calling for action on Muscle Shoals, immigration, the elimination of "Lame Duck" session and relief for agricultural and unemployment distress. The Muscle Shoals problem may be settled first, since the house and senate conference on this legislation met today to iron out their controversary. The senate has Insisted upon government operaticn of the huge Alabama project but the house held out for private leasing. Under a gentleman's argument, the conferncts will send the whole controversary bact to the house, for a vote on a modified government operation plan. This will end the controversary In congress temporarily, but such a measure would meet with a presidentiall 'veto from Mr.

Hoover. In such a case, no progress would be made and the government would continue to hold the $100,000,000 project, without future program. Immigration Problem The immigration problem may confound the administration since president Hoover made no mention of it in his message. Senator Reed (R) of Pen-sylvania, proposed to ban all immigration, except Canadian, for two years. Senator Black (D) of Alabama, endorsed the proposal, declaring the ban shculd be continued until the end of thep resent depresisoh.

Both insisted upon early action. The Norris resolution, proposing a constitutional amendment eliminating "Lame Duck" sessions, had passed the senate but is held up in the house. Administration leaders hope to win its enactment, because necessary legislation is often killed by filibusters in "Lame Duck" sesisons. There have been indications that congress might settie the ten-year-old issue at this session. A host of unemployment and farm relief bills were sponsored in the last 24 hours.

Both senator McNary (Rj of Oregon, and senator Robinson (D) of Arkansas, Introduced bills providing $60,000,000 In feed and seed loans to farmers in drought-stricken stated. This bill was suggested by the President is his message. The President will face his first test in the new session, not on legislation, but on appropriations. He must secure confirmation in the next few weeks of a new federal power commlsison, a new secretary of labor and many lesser lm-portnat nominations. The senate will begin acting on them late this week.

N. 8. Staff Corespondent) Washington, Dec.

Hoover tent the 1932 budget to congress today with the significant warning that "this is not a time whin, we can afford to embark upon any rwt or enlarged ventures of The expense of operating the federal government for the next fiscal year were estimated at $3,63242,411, or about $22,000,000 greater than for the present fiscal year, despite falling federal revenues because of the business depression. The figure d6es not Include the postal deficit. There will be a treasury deficit for the present year of approximately the president stated, and it will be held at that point only by rigid economies, and by the application of some $185,000,000 In foreign interest payments to current expenses. Under these conditions, the president stated that it was impassible to continue the one per cent Income tax re-i ductlon granted by congressional resolution laU year. "Balanced Budget" Notwithstanding the present unfavorable state of the treasury's finances, Mr.

Hoover informed congress that he was submitting "a balanced budget" for the next fiscal year, which if adhered to, and providing treasury estimates of revenue are reasonably accurate, will result In a small surplus of around $30,000,000 next fiscal year. And then, striking reassuring note, he concluded: "When we stop to consider that we are progressively amortizing our public debt, and that a balanced budget is being presented for 1932, even after drastic writing down of expected revenue. I believe it will be agreed that our government finances are In sound condition." Mr. Hoover said he was opposed to any tinkering with the present system of retiring the public debt, which now amounts to about $550,000,000 a While the present treasury deficit of some $180,000,000 looks large, he declared he did not view it with undue concern. He pointed out it amounted, to only about 5 per cent of thetotal government expenditure.

Some borrowing by the treasury probably will be necessary.
