21. Premier Ed-ouard Daladier, his back to the wait and fighting for a budget-balancing and anti-inflation program, against almost certain defeat, will make a desperate last-minute appeal Sunday to the chamber of deputies. Apparent indifference was accorded his warnings Saturday that inflation loomed if the budget remained unbalanced, and despite the continued weakening of the French franc, government parties wrangled all day with a solution more remote than ever. The left radicals, whose 65 votes are normally needed by the cabinet, decided definitely against Da- ladler's measures and urged the formation of a concentration gov ernment. Socialists and radical socialists still sought a compromise, but the situation wai bo confused for both the finance committee and them selves that the vital battle will have to be fought on the floor of the -chamber, beginning Sunday.

The government demands 5,424, 000,000 francs in new taxes and economies including reductions In pay of civil servants and In veterans pensions' but the com mlttee accepted only 4,777,000,000 francs (more than $24,000,000 Okehed For American Defense Army Planes and Army Organization are Planned WASHINGTON'. Oct. 21. UP) A $24,000,000 allotment for national defense, to Include several hundred additional fighting planes and a $10,000,000 army motorization program, was approved Saturday by the public works administration. In addition, $6,412,890 was set aside for other federal projects In the effort to Increase employment.

These were scattered widely throughout the nation. The 515,000,000 for aviation construction is to be apportioned between the war and navy departments on a basis as yet undetermined. If evenly divided, experts said each branch would obtain approximately 200 planes. Thig would be roughly half the number the navy is seeking. More than loO will be needed for the new aircraft carrier ranger when It is launched and nearly 300 or the vessel to be constructed in the r38.O00.0O0 building program, navy officials say.

Mollis, tht republican, indepeuuyni, wBo supported President Roosevelt in the last campaign, reiterated Saturday this belief that currency expansion was the peg upon which an immediate uplift in farm prices must be hung. Meanwhile, a definite statement on what he intends to do with respect to money was asked of Mr. Roosevelt by Sen.

Hastings (r) of Delaware. He asserted business was "disturbed and distressed" at Its lack of knowledge of the President's intention regarding mone tary inflation and expressed rigorous opposition to inflation. The possibility of arranging loans to wheat farmers similar to those already decided upon for cotton farmers was being; studied carefully by the farm administration, with indications of an early announcement. Seek Recovery Harmony Reports were reviewed that President Roosevelt would act soon to bring his three major recovery units the industrial, farm and public works administration more into harmony. Open discord between the farm and industrial administrations came out in the retail code, controversy, with Hugh S.

Johnson, the NRA chief, advocating a ban on sales below cost plus 10 per cent to eliminate cutthroat competition. The opposition of Secy. Wallace, who felt that a greater consuming price mig-ht be loaded upon the farmer, took the problem to the White House, with President Roosevelt yet to announce his decision. NRA officials privately expressed belief that their program had boen hampered by the slow spread of the public works funds. 8 Injured in Accidents On Greenville Highway GREENVILLE.

Tn Tfllt With Litvinoit Expect Russian Commissar Here in Two Weeks For Conference Many Facts and Figures -Assembled for Parley Huge1 Trade Possibilitie Seen If Soviet Is Recognized By the United Press WASHINGTON, Oct.

Although definite word from Moscow wag lacking at the state department, there was an official expectation that Maxim Litvinoff, the Soviet foreign affairs commissar, would reach Washington in about two weeks.

Export possibilities of more than $100,000,000 in cotton and heavy machinery, including rail equipment, already have been brought the fore. Since the buying power of the Soviet rests solely with Its government Mr. Roosevelt was expected in some quarters to Come down to dollars and cents in this regard.

New Advisor Looms William C. Bullitt, a special assistant to Secy. Hull, was regarded by some as likely to emerge as a right hand man of the President during the Litvinoff conversations. Bullitt first went into Russia on a special investigative mission for Pres. Wilson In 1919.
