All other moves are sophistry." The national administration la separating its expenses into two classifications, Col. Roosevelt said, 'those of general or ordinary expenses and emergency or non-recurring expenses. He attacked, this classification as one "used by the various European Governments "when they were tottering on the edge of the abyss and wished to conceal their true condition." lie contended that by this method, expenses previously included I in the budget "find their way I around and appear in the national 'debt." He said the natlonnl debt of the United States has risen from 1 $16,000,000,000 in 1930, according to his estimate, to at least 000 when the sums now allocated are spent. This figure, he said, is more than a billion dollars greater at any pievlous time in American history. 1 Six steps were outlined by Col.

Roosevelt as a sound program for I rigid economy in the operation of the federal government. These were: 1 Consolidation of departments bureaus to avoid duplication. 2 Elimination of unnecessary personnel. civil service laws and statutes giv ing state employes the right to join lnbor unions.

He urged strict government control of all meat packing plants to prevent the industry from passing processing taxes along to the consumer.

"The thing for the government to do is commandeer the plants and operate them," Rainey said. He asserted that if present emergency legislation did not carry such powers, additional legislation making possible such control should be passed early in the forthcoming session. "Strict government control of meat packing plants such as controlled industries during the war should start," Rainey said. "Meat packing plants are a monopoly. Through direct buying they are controlling prices.

They are interfering with the entire program and stand In open defiance of the entire recovery set-up." Rainey asserted that "other industries are cooperating fully. The textile industry is cooperating although It has opposed to it the great rayon industry. The packers claim, however, to comply with the program of the government would involve competition with other and cheaper foods which they could not meet. Other industries, however, are complying and at the same time meeting competition of like character." Rainey asserted that "Chicago packers are the chief culprits." Under Rainey's control plan, gov-erment agents would be placed all plants and control minimum prices for meat products so that the producer would get a fair price and so the processing taxes would be borne in part by the industry. INDCSTRY EXPRESSES INDIGNANT SURPRISE Chicago, Dec.

28 Chicago's great meat packing industry expressed indignant surprise today at the sweeping charges of non-compliance with the president's recovery program made at Washington by Speaker of the House Rainey. Spokesmen for Swift world's largest packing firm, declared the concern was "doing its best to aid the" president's program." "The attack by Speaker Rainey seems unwarranted." officers of the company said. "We are doing all we can to cooperate. These charges come as a complete surprise." Of interest In connection with Rainey's statements were the financial reports for 1933 submitted in the last few days by three leading packing firms. Despite the depressed condition of the livestock industry, each of th firms showed sensational gains in profits over past years.

While farmers were getting less than claimed production costs for their hogs and cattle packers are completing a most prosperous year.

28 CP' The United States can not "waste its way bark into prosperity," Theodore Roosevelt today told the Manufacturers and Bankers club. "There is only one way a country can exist permanently with happiness," the former governor general of the Philippines said, "and that is by having a balanced budget, a good credit, and a sound currency." Col. Roosevelt called for a return to the ideas of economy that were summed up in the phrase "we should not spend more than we receive." these ideas, he said, were taught to American citizens as children. "What applied In family life applies In national life," he said. "A nation must not, and In the long run cannot, spend more than it collects from its people.

There is one way and one way only in which a budget can be permanently and properly balanced and that is by this principle. "The silk shirt days are over." He said that the nation must return to a simpler scale of living, both governmental and private; that it must adjust Itself to changed conditions. There is no way, he said, by which a program calling for the balancing of the budget, the reduction of taxes and the maintenance of expense can be followed in 'he light of present rigorous economic conditions. "There Is but one way to balance the budget at this time," Col. Roose- BelgiumFavors Limited Arms For Germany Paris, Dec.

28 Diplomatic reports that Belgium, France's staunch ally, favored limited German rearmament coincided today with signs that a crisis was impending in European disarmament negotiations. Paul Hymans, Belgian foreign minister, conferred yesterday with Joseph Paul-Boncour, French foreign minister. It had been taken for granted that, with Belgium sharing France's anxiety at the Nazi government's activities In Germany, Hymans and Paul-Boncour would agree in detail on a program. But reports today were that Hymans supported the British Idea that, as no other nation is disarming, Germany as a matter of national pride should be permitted a strictly limited program of rearmament, perhaps to include more soldiers as well as "sample" quotas of armaments. Confirmation of this report would mean that France was further isolated at a moment when its cabinet was despairing of the success of direct negotiations with Germany and waa considering informing Chancellor Adolf Hitler that any proposals he might advance must be submitted through League of Nations machinery in this case the whole disarmament commission, which has almost as many plans as members.

CHECKS TOTALLING $27,600 RECEIVED FOR CWA WORKERS Check totalling about $27,000 were received by Robert E. Kost-ka, county civil works director, at the regional disbursing office at Marshfield Wednesday night and were distributed to Portage county civil works employes today. Mr. Kostka planned to return to Marsh-field this afternoon to pick up the balance of about $10,000 in checks due Portage county workers. Payments which were being made today were for services performed on civil works projects In Portage county last week.

A delay in the regular Saturday payment was caused by a shortage of blank checks at the Marshfield office. The total payroll for Portage county last week was $37,095.35. Superintendent to be-Tried in Death of Work Farm Inmate Superior, Dec. 23 T.E Charged with having beaten an inmate of the Douglas county work farm to death with his fists, W. J.

Philbrook, suspended superintendent, will be tried in Superior court during the January term. It will be the second time the case has been tried. Philbrook is alleged to have beaten Andrew Mormon, father of three children, while the latter was in a solitary cell, in such a manner that ha died. He was tried in October on a charge of manslaughter. The Jury hearing the case, however, was unable to agree.

During the January term in court, Louis Dahlgren, former treasurer of the Superior Redmen's lodge, will be tried for embezzling approximately 13,000 of the lodge funds. 0 there would be nothing on which to experiment. Harold M. Wilkie, Madison, Personal Finance company counsel and spokesman for attorneys of the other companies, asserted that the commission ought to conduct further inquiry into the small loans business to determine what rate is essential to sustain the companies' operating capital base and attract new capital. He pointed out that the state public service commission ordered only a 12 1-2 per cent reduction in Wisconsin Telephone company rates despite its findings of reduced com-jmodity prices, company stability jand capital returns, while the banking commission attempted to slash small loans rates more than 50 per I cent in the face of increasing bad losses.

The companies feel that "their jinterests and those of the commission would not be advanced by a temporary order which will force jthe matter prematurely into legal review," said Wilkie. I Commissioner Peter A. Cleary in formed company representatives that all rate fixing must be experimental to a certain degree and in the present unstable economic conditions ought to be left open to alteration in fairness to borrowers and lenders. Walter F. Mayer, Milwaukee Loan and Finance company counsel, and W.

J. P. Aberg, for the Wisconsin Association of Personal Finance Companies, said great losses would result if the companies operated under the rate set by the commission. Aberg argued that other types of loan firms, such as discount companies, are authorized to charge as much as 32.5 per cent annually. Other companies represented included the Household Finance company and the Personal Finance company.

STALIN SEES "REAL DANGER" TO SOVIETS FROM JAPANESE New York, Dec. 28 U.P The New York Times, in an exclusive cable dispatch from Moscow today, quoted Josef V. Stalin in an interview as seeing "real danger" to the Soviets from Japan, but as believing that Japan "would be unwise to attack." "We should like to have friendly relations with the Japanese," the Communist party leader said. "But unfortunately that does not depend upon us alone. If the more reasonable elements and more prudent counsels prevail in Japan our two countries can live In amity, but we fear the militant faction may push saner policies into the background it is uncertain, too, whether she would get support for such an adventure from other powers there Is grave danger, and we cannot but prepare to meet it." Stalin spoke optimistically of the possibilities of a lively trade between Russia and the United States, and laughed at fears expressed by some economists regarding the Soviets' ability to pay for goods.

WAUPUN CONVICTS STILL AT LARGE Waupun, Dec. 28 11R) Two Waupun state prison convicts who slugged a guard and escaped in his automobile after robbing him were still at large today as state authorities maintained a constant watch at the prisoner's The two men are Arthur Kons, 25, Washington county, serving a one to two year term for automobile theft, and Joe Dillinger, serving a one to three year sentence for obtaining property without the consent of the owner.

In! the t.nitert States court (t claims to recover about $1,200 In salary. William .7. Donovan, his aftornev, said the suit will be filed this afternoon. It will question whether the president is empowered to remove a member of a non-political commission under the constitution, Donovan said. Should Humphrey's claim be sustained, Donovan added.

It would be tantamount to recognition that! the president overstepped his pow ers In the case. Humphrey, a Republican, subsequently was replaced by Commissioner George C. Mathews. Donovan Indicated that if tht suit is successful, further court Bftion may be taken to restore Humphrey to his former position. The president's action followed Humphrev's repeated refusal to i horn and that the women on foot moved over toward the right side of the road.

Chojnacki then turned his car to the left but when within 50 to 60 feet the women started toward the left, with the daughter having her mother by the hand, whereupon the driver swung to the right to avoid them. His car skidded on an icy spot and struck Mrs. Pestka. Chojnacki said he was not driving over 15 miles an hour at the time and that he stopped within 25 feet. He believes the victim was struck by the left front fender or left running board as he attempted to pass to the right of Mrs.

Pestka, who, he said, was then in about the center of the concrete with her daughter on her left. Chojnacki stopped and found the victim lying on the pavement. He and his brothers brought her to the hospital. Funeral Thursday Funeral services for Mrs. Pestka will be held Saturday morning at 9 o'clock at St.

Branislawa's church. Rev. W. B. Poiaczyk will officiate and burial will be in the parish cemetery.
