That would be about perfect, if some of the estimates pnvateiy made bv treasury officials could be forgotten. One of the top treasury men figured a week before tne returns were filed that total treasury income for the month would be be tween $438,000,000 and $450,000,000. That la what they really expected.

The other day he had collected ex actly $369,000,000. He may get sugn-lv more than J4O0.0O0.0OO by the month-end. In any event he will be far more than nine-tentns or one nercent below expectations. The truth is the returns were somewhat disappointing. Business has not improved as much as they thought.

Previously leaders had hoped to get away by May 1. Some legislators who will have Townsendite opposition in forthcoming electoral battles are hoping that a house investigation of the $200-a-month old age pension movement will turn up disclosures which they can use as campaign ammunition. They were reported to be urging speed by the investigating committee. $951,964 Obtained From Robert E.

Clements, who resigned as co-leader of the movement aflar a split with Dr. F. E. Townsend, the committee has received an estimate that the Town-send organization has collected $951,964 to date. Committee counsel James R.

Sullivan indicated he would further develop his assertion that Clements' income from the Townsend organization In 1935 was "velvet" because Clements also received his expenses. Washington, March 28 (JP) Congress, enjoying a weekend rest that gave its members time to follow new Borah campaign moves and the Hauptmann case, was reported today to have received a new warning from President Roosevelt against spending above budget limitations. The warning, it was said, went to chairmen of house and senate appropriations committees and other leaders. The president was quoted as telling them budget limits must be observed if still more taxes, In addition to those he recommended recenfly, are to be avoided. Hits at Senate Some observers thought the advice aimed particularly at the senate, which already has added to house appropriations.

Records showed the communications commission, which aided the senate lobby committee 1 obtaining copies of telegrams, had declined similar assistance to the justice department and the securities commission. Many members of congress, anxious to get home and begin campaigning, feared they face two more months in the capital. Until June 1 The $799,000,000 tax program on LATE BULLETINS BORAH LAUNCHES MOVE TO CAPTURE NORTHWEST VOTES Plans Call for Filing in Oregon Primary Ten Delegates Are Sought. POLITICIANS WATCH IDAHOAN FOR POLICY Party Leaders Mystified by Failure to Try for California State Approval. Washington, March 28 (P) Senator Borah of Idaho today extended his campaign for the republican presidential nomination into the Northwest, announced he would enter the Oregon primary.

"I am filling in the Oregon primary," the senator said in disclosing he would go after the state's ten delegates to the national convention. March 30 is the last date for filing in the primary, which will be May 15. Borah said he would not be able to make a speaking campaign in Oregon, however. Declines Earlier In declining earlier this week to enter the California primary against Governor Alf M. Landon of Kansas, the Idahoan had explan-ed the intensity of his campaign to win the 109 convention delegates to be selected soon in Ohio 'and Illinois would not permit him to ppeak on the coast.

His decision ki that Instance left the choice in the California primary between Landon and an uninstruct-ed delegation. Borah entered the Oregon race as party leaders were closely studying his public utterances for some indication of his views toward various rivals for the republican nomination and what course he might follow if he should be turned down by the Cleveland convention. Tlans Watched "Would Borah bolt, after all these years of party regularity?" leaders are asking. "Would he stay in the party, but sit en the side-lines? Would he support Governor Landon, of Kansas, Col. Frank Knox, of Chicago, Senator Vandenberg, of Michigan, or anyone else?" These questions are assuming Increasing importance in the eyes of some republican leaders.

Many hold the view that Borah's future course will have much bearing on the party's fortunes at the polls. The Idaho senator, who has played a prominent role in every presidential race since 1908, has answered none of their questions. WEATHER By The Associated Press (Until 6 p. m.

Senators behind that move would not admit that such streamlining of legislation was undemocratic. Nor would they agree to send the bill back to the judiciary committee for hearings. So they authorized hearings on the Borah-Van Nuys bill which is a substitute for the Roblnson-Patman bill.

This saved their faces. By similar devious means the original bill will be modified considerably in conformity with the Borah-Van Nuys bill before it is passed. Note Ultimate effect of the legislation will be to standardize price discounts by manufacturers and 4 prevent unjust discriminations in favor of chain stores. The broad price-fixing implications of the original bill will be eliminated. JUMP? HOFFMAN SEEKING METHOD TO GRANT SECOND REPRIEVE Reports Brewing That Execution of Lindbergh Baby Kidnaper to Be Delayed.

HICKS BACK FROM CUBAN SLEUTHING New Jersey Governor Believes Trial Unfair-Questions Witnesses' Testimony Copyright, 1936, by The Associated Press Trenton, N. March 28 (JP) Governor Harold G. Hoffman today declared he had no Intention of granting Bruno Hauptmann another reprieve. He declined, however, to com- mit himself as to what he might do in the event a confession or some other unusually important development which would justify prolonging the life of the convicted Lindbergh baby slayer. By DALE HARRISON (Copyright, 1986, by The Associated Trenton, N.

March 28-(P) Governor Harold G. Hoffman, pushing his effort to halt Bruno Haupt-mann's execution until the Lindbergh murder case is solved to his satisfaction, called the court of pardons today to meet Monday "GUILTY TODAY" (Copyright, 1936, By The Asso- elated Press) Trenton, N. March 3i(JP) Attorney General David T. Wilentz, prosecutor of Haupt- mann and by law the legal ad- visor to the governor, today Is- sued a statement that Haupt- mann "is as guilty today as he was the day he was convicted." In a statement Issued from his Perth Amboy home today, the attorney general said: "We dispute the right of the governor to place the prestige and weight of his office be- hind his latest accusation that the case 'reeks with unfairness, passion and He us- urps the functions of the courts "During the trial not even Hauptmann made any cla'm oi unfairness, and defense coun- sel in his concluding address to the Jury stated: 'I think we have played along so fairly, so nicely In this trial that we can continue to go along that morning to consider the German-born carpenter's new plea for clemency. The mercy court turned down a previous appeal by Hauptmann, but his counsel has said he possesses new evidence to warrant a new trial.

The governor also sought gome legal advice that would say he had power to Issue a second reprieve for Hauptmann, despite the reiterated opinion of the attorney general that no such authority exists. Back from Cuba Robert W. Hicks, Washington criminologist, returned by plane today from Cuba where he has been investigating angles of the Hauptmann case, and the governor arranged to hear his report immediately. There was a growing belief, as developments moved swiftly, that a reprieve would be Issued before 8 o'clock Tuesday night, the hour set for the execution of the German-born carpenter for the Lind bergh baby murder. Some conjecture was heard that the governor might delay any possible reprieve action until shortly before the scheduled hour of execution, in the hope that Hauptmann, In desperation, might make a new statement.

WilenU Views An expression of the attitude of Attorney General David T. Wilentz today was expected to halve an important bearing on developments in the world-famous case. Wilentz was represented as holding the opinion the governor has not further reprieve power, as expressed frequently, but that the office of (Page 2, column 6) Abcrdscn Tcurnsy Jamestown 64; Huron 42.

(Page 2, Column 6) Fbra Wreck Fcsr Are Kilbd Oracle, March 28 (JP)A wrecked airplane, a fresh fall of snow and the Jutting rock of a mountain canyon told the story today of hi aerial tragedy In which ftfur men lost their lives.

A two-day search by posses, army planes and soldiers from both sides of the Mexican border ended yesterday when a range riding cowboy found the flaming red ship dashed to splinters against a canyon wall in the rugged Galiuro mountains, 26 miles east of here.

'Pine Ridge, March 28 (Special) The "present congressman haa introduced an impossible bill to provide Indians with $200 a month when you have more need of two or three sticks of wood," Francis Case of Custer told members of the Pine Ridge Indian council here Friday afternoon. Between 400 and 500 Indians were gathered for the council meeting, which was to receive the report of the delegation from the reservation that went to Washington recently to complain about deprived conditions among the Indians.

Case told the Indians it was "time to quit chasing rainbows," and that there was a greater chance of good through dams on the little better roads, and wood whlchhe suggested the ECW, or Indian equivalent of the CCC, could bring from the Black Hills.

Sugar Dccf Lisa Study Problems Washington, March 28 (JP) Problems of sugar beet farm workers today came before a conference of agricultural labors and government officfals, Intended to shape legislation for aid for the men in the fields. The agricultural workers' conference, called by the national committee on rural social planning, opened yesterday amid charges that the government has done nothing to aid the men who actually grow the nation's crops. The problems of wage scales and hours were expected to occupy most of the discussion of the sugar beet workers' t'-slegates. Representatives were attending the conference from beet workers unions In Colorado, Michigan and Idaho, rtretches on. What a difference In the front lines of Italy's troops moving slowly and carefully Into Ethiopia, It's Sunday here too but It's ho day of peace and rest, The sun has A drawing room story is going the rounds.

You will hear it If you have not already. It Implies that Senator Borah may be expected to take his football and go over to the Roosevelt side after the republican convention. That is, he is expected to accumulate sufficient political strength in his current campaign to become a major influence In the Roosevelt second term by a swap. The yarn was probably Invented by Borah's opponents to shake republican confidence in him, but a lot of well Informed persons expect It to come true. APPREHENSIVE Republican authorities have become somewhat more disturbed sbout th Borah candidacy during the last few days.

The promised Townsend support for the Idahoan Is what did It. However, the general Inside Impression here is that the Townsend movement ls near the breaking point. Within 30 days, the house Investigating committee expects to develop evidence injurious to Townsend political prestige. The resignation of Robert Clements as secretary and treasurer of the Townsend organizatlcn Is supposed to have been a maneuver in anticipation of house evidence. If everything works out as house Investigators expect, the Townsend support will hardly be an asset to the Borah candidacy.

WARMING-UP Washington, March 28 (JP) The senate immigration committee today approved a bill to permit deportation of criminal aliens, estimated to number about 20,000, and authorize an inter departmental committee to exempt "worthy aliens" who have entered the country Illegally.
