Federal Treasury Faces Big Deficit From Relief Work
Government Indebtedness for Current Fiscal Year Will Reach New Height
By Richard L. Gridley U.P. Financial Correspondent
Washington, Jan. 4—(UP) —If the government's estimated deficit of $8,631,239,711 for the current fiscal year ending June 30, was in dollar bills laid end to end they would reach for 635,000 miles, or nearly 27 times around the world.
This is the largest peace-time deficit in the history of the country. It will carry the government's indebtedness to a new all-time high mark of $28,679-969,728, surpassing even the war-time peak of $26,594,268,000 reached on Aug. 31, 1919.
Recovery Activities Responsible
Huge relief and recovery activities were responsible for this year's record-breaking. The deficit up to Dec 27, was only $1,114,324,899, or only about two-thirds of the deficit of the same date a year ago.
The treasury's estimates for the remaining six months of the current fiscal year indicate that relief expenditures will be accelerated, with the deficit increasing nearly a billion dollars a month from now until July.
Total expenditures of the government for the current fiscal year which ends June 20, 1934, were estimated by the treasury at $8,991,784,67.
Only a small portion of these estimated expenditures have been made in the first six months of the fiscal year to Dec. 31, indicating that the government will spend some $7,000,000,000 between now and the end of June.
1935 May See Big Reduction
The government income this year about balanced the "ordinary" expenditures for running the government, estimated at $3,533,691,767. The greater part of the deficit, therefore, was accounted for by "emergency" expenditures which are estimated at $6,357,486,700.
1935 May See Big Reduction
estimates for the fiscal year 1935,
covering the year beginning July 1, 1934,
showed plans for a drastic slash in "emergent expenses," aided by an estimated repayment on reconstruction finance corporation above all other costs to get the government $480,436,600.
The Reconstruction Finance Corporation, through which many of the government's relief activities are being conducted, will take the greater part of the emergency expenditures. It is estimated that this body will take $3,969,740,300.
**Income Tax Receipts Are Low**
Total expenditures for the 1935 fiscal year were estimated at only $4,498,562.500, or less than half this year's income, while income for the 1935 fiscal year is estimated at $3,474,665.49 with allowances and reduced income taxes. This would leave a theorem of the 1935 year of $511,897,821, or about one-twelfth of the current fiscal year's deficit.
"Miscellaneous internal revenue receipts in 1933," the treasury report said, "constituted 41 per cent of total receipts, the largest proportion since 1924, while the percentage derived from income taxes was less than in any of the preceding nine years. Income tax collections, which in recent years have usually accounted for more than half of the total receipts, were only 36 per cent of the total in 1933.
FACSIMILE REPRODUCTIONS
TO BE SHOWN AT MUSEUM
Beginning tomorrow a new collection of paintings, including 25 large facsimile reproductions by well-known painters of Europe, will be on display for the next two weeks in the art gallery of Thayer Art museum. These paintings are the most famous Dutch, French, and German reproductions of the 19th century up until the present. Franz Marc, Germany's greatest modern painter, is represented in the group.
The paintings were secured through the co-operation of the American Federation of Arts in Washington.
Missouri Loses To Illinois
Champaign, Ill., Jan. 3—The University of Illinois defeated the University of Missouri here last night in a basketball game, 13 to 27. It was the last non-conference game for the Tigers before they open their Big Six season in Columbia next Saturday night against Kansas State, although other non-titular games will be played as the regular season progresses.
MEMBER OF ATHLETIC BOARD SUFFERS PAINFUL INJUR
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY. JANUARY 4. 1934
Will J. Miller, 08, of Topka, a member of the athletic board of the University, was imprisoned in his car Monday night for over half an hour by one of the wire button pins holding the seat covers in place, when it became buried in his hand.
As Miller started to enter his car, he slipped, and the weight of his body fell on his hand. The wire upholstery pin penetrated the fleshy part of his thumb. He was unable to free himself when he crumpled in this uncomfortable position which he summoned help by the persistent tooling of his automobile horn.
Dr. Canuteson Elected to Student Health Post
Medical Problems Discussed at Holiday Meeting in Chicago
Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the University health service, was elected one of the six members of the newly created executive council of the American Student Health association at its holiday meeting at Chicago. He was also elected as one of the two executive council members on the executive committee. The council election is for two years.
Dr. Cautensoon returned to the University late yesterday, well pleased with the showing that Kansas reports made in comparison with those from other student health services.
Two particular problems were discussed frequently in the meetings of the Student Health association. One was the proposal that student health services should extend their tuberculosis surveys, such as have been done by the department that these health services should include the services of a mental hygienist.
Minnesota and Leland Stanford have found services of such an expert especially useful in assisting students to meet the adjustments necessary in changing from home environment to that of the campus. Students need also preparation for the transition from the campus environment to the work-a-day world and the problem of finding a job, these schools reported.
The next meeting of the health association will be held in New York next December.

Journalism Building Has Housed Three Departments During Its Half-Century
When ole man winter blew his ice breath on water-soaked Fourteenth street last night he made a merry playground for daring or unaware drivers of cars to attempt its slick slopes last night.
Ford "Takes It"
in Dog-Pile of Cars
on Slippery Hill
The driver, on coming to the top of the hill, gave one look and decided to attempt the descent but after getting all four wheels on the slope his brakes proved useless. He contented himself with loops, twists, and tail spins until he finally managed to nose the car headlong into a friendly tree.
Another driver coming to the top of the hill saw the accident and decided to step on it so as not to miss anything. He came to his final whirl amd-mack up against the unlucky Ford. The Ford suffered a severe beating and battering-ing three other cars that also thought rubber tires on ice wouldn't slide.
After the drizzling rain had turned to icey sheet the hill took on the calm appearance of a perfectly safe and sane slippery slide that later proved very untrue. The first unwary car to make the slip was a Ford which turned out to be the martyr or hero of the occasion.
Fifty years ago, in 1883, the Journalism building, which is next to the oldest building on the University campus was built. The building, which has been used by several departments of the University, was originally built for the chemistry department.
Students coming off the hill late also suffered bruised knees from sprawling on the unsafe footing. But amid all the entertainment one likely and thoughtful student helped an aged old man to safe footing to the other side of the street in a stray car and back only to fall himself, throwing not books and everything in the tumble.
A milk truck on its evening delivery made the pile-up complete making a total of six cars marooned on Fourteenth until a wrecker working from the sidelines straightened out the entanglement.
The government has recently turned down an application by the city of Lawrence and the University for money to be used in the building of a street along the street car tracks from Seventeenth and Louisiana streets west and northwest as a rear entrance to the University campus.
GOVERNMENT TURNS DOWN
CAMPUS STREET PROJECT
The chemistry department was originally in the basement of Fraser hall. The room and equipment there was too small, because became too small for the department.
The new building was completed and the chemistry department moved into it in January, 1884. G. E. Patrick was head of the department at that time. E. H. S. Bailey, late professor of chirurgery at Texas, was head of Kansas in 1883, used to relate that when the building was completed the money had all been spent and there was nothing left for equipment. The desks and other apparatus were carried over
The building has also been used by the School of Pharmacy, the School of Medicine, and at present by the journalism department.
In 1883 the Board of Regents appropriated $5,000 that it had saved and the state legislature voted $4,000 more to make a new building and equip a new chemistry building.
A 30-foot maccadam had been proposed with a parking on each side, but the government said that the ratio between the labor and the estimated cost of construction was too high. At the present, the project is at a standstill, but a new angel may turn up, and the street may be built later.
Donald Cosley, '33, of Herington, began work the first of the new year as chemist at the Herington disposal plant. Cosley holds an unique position in that the Herington plant is one of the few in the United States which sells its waste for industrial purposes. Several thousand gallons are sold every day to the Rock Island railroad for use in its boilers.
Cosley Gets Chemist's Position
Kansas City, Mo.—(UP)—Non-residents of Missouri found working on county relief projects will be discharged. C. Whit Pfeiffer, secretary of the Jackson County Relief committee, has announced. Complaints were received by officials that forty motor cars bearing Kansas license plates were used by workers on one job.
No Non-Resident Workers
The building was designed by Haskell & Wood, architects. It is of no particular style of architecture but it resembles the Romanesque style. Native limestone which was quarried on the site was used in the building. Red brick was used for the building. McFarland & Son, contractors, of Lawrence constructed the building.
A description of the building which appeared in 1884 said, "The sum of $12,000 wisely and economically expended leaves the chemistry department as amply provided with facilities for instruction as any institution west of the Mississippi." But in 15 years the building had become too small for the department.
from the old rooms in Fraser hall and used until the legislature met and appropriated funds to equip the building.
In 1885 the School of Pharmacy was organized at the University. The basement of the Chemistry building was excavated and the rooms finished and used for the laboratories and lecture room of the new School of Pharmacy.
It was the center of important scientific research here. Some prominent scientists who received their early chemistry schooling in the building were Dr. E. C.

Neither the adoption nor repeal of prohibition changes the University of Illinois' attitude toward student consumption of intoxicating liquor, according to a recent statement in the University daily by Arthur Hill Daniels, acting president of that school.
ILINOIS RETAINS ATTITUDE
TOWARD STUDENT DRINKING
CUNNINGHAM TO RUN IN SEVEN MEETS
"No official action has been taken by the University," declared President Daniels, "which would suggest that there neither has been, nor that there should be, the slightest relaxation of the University's attitude toward student drinking."
Reserve Officers Adopt Resolution at Meeting
Plan to Conduct Campaign Illustrating Need for Defense
Defense
A resolution to observe the period of Feb. 12 to 22 in a special effort to inform the people of this community regarding the importance of adequate national defense was adopted by the Douglas County Chapter of the Reserve Officers' association at its regular meeting in the observatory last evening. The resolution was framed by Earnest Boyce, associate professor of civil engineering. A copy of the resolution will be sent to President Roosevelt.
The program of the meeting included the third of a series of lectures by Major W. C. Koenig, head of the department of military science, on "The Organization of the Army." Sergeant H. E. Roy continued his paper on "The Administration of the Company."
An announcement concerning positions to be had for artists and geologists in the Coast and Geodetic Survey as a part of the CWA program was made by Professor Moore. Further announcements regarding these positions will appear at a later date.
Professor D. C. Jackson, Jr., head of the electrical engineering department, president of the local association, appointed R. C. Moore, professor of geology, as chairman of the National Defense Committee to carry out the plans Dr. Dimrose Morel, professor of astronomy, will also serve on this committee.
SCHAKE ACCEPTS COACHING
POSITION AT WARRENBURS
Elmer Schaake, former University of Kansas football and basketball star, today accepted a position as assistant coach at Warrensburg Teachers College.
Schake was appointed assistant football coach here for this year but resigned early last September to play professional football with the Portsmouth Spartans. He was given a honorable mention rating this year when the Professional All-Stars were selected.
Schahe will also be enrolled in classes at Warrensburg where he will seek to complete work upon his A.B. degree.
KANSAS WILL BE INCLUDED
IN GEOLOGICAL SURVEY WORK
According to word received from Washington, the public works administration announced today that an allotment of $299,000 had been made to the geological survey of the interior department for mineral resource surveys and land classification in eighteen states and Alaska.
Dr. R. C. Moore, professor of geology and director of the Kansas Geological Survey, said that he had no direct information but that it was probable that the department here would take some part in the planning of the work
In the state of Kansas, $12,000 will be expended on surveys.
McCullough to Address Y.M. Cabinet Roy McCullough, general secretary of the Y.M.C.A. returned to Lawrence this morning following a two-day business trip to Kansas City. Mr. McCullough will speak to the Y.M.C.A. cabinet when it meets in room 10 of the Memorial Union at 4:30 this afternoon. Plans for the International Banquet which is to be held Tuesday, Jan. 9, will be completed at this meeting.
Temcoff Posts $100 Bond
Temeco Posts $100 Bond
Victor M. Temeco, c/uncel, who was arrested last Dec. 29 for carrying concealed weapons, was released this morning on a $100 bond. His bond, which had formally been made for $25, was raised to $100 at the preliminary hearing where he entered a plea of not guilty. His trial is scheduled for next Friday morning.
Inside Information of Those Engineering Trips Is Finally Learned
These engineering inspection trips that are indulged in every year seem to serve about the same purpose for the plant operators in Kansas City, or wherever the engineers happen to go, as do the "bright student" quiz papers for the profs. They furnish something to talk about for months.
After a recent trip the engineers stated that a good time was had by all, even if some of the guides did tire a bit. It seems that four of the students rented an apartment and stayed the whole week. It is rumored that they inspected more of Kansas City than the industrial part.
The boys also visited the Loose-Wiles Biscuit Company, Swift and company and Kvaterinki's restaurant. Yes, it's "Zoney's" family; there couldn't be more than one name spelled like that. Another curiosity which probably will never be satisfied is that of the guide at the Sheffield Steel mill who couldn't understand why the engineering kits should be more interested than what a robotatic ones. It seems that the girl running the machine was good looking, but when they found out she was married the boys moved on.
It seems that the engineers still have hopes. Maybe some day, if they pass their finals a couple more times, and if there really and truly is a Santo Devoto named them, these plants, and after all that is what everybody is looking for, a job.
212 Delegates to Meeting
Riesen and Mykland Represent University at N.S.F.A. Convention
One hunder and eighty colleges were represented by 212 delegates of both sexes, at the ninth annual convention of the National Student Federation of America, which was held Dec. 27 to 31, 1984. The president was represented by Kurt Rieser, president of the Men's Student Council, and Gumar Myland, a council member.
The convention delegates met at the Mayflower hotel on Wednesday morning where many discussions were held. The discussions were led by men who were authorities on the topics discussed, and the delegates were allowed to say anything they desired concerning the subject.
These discussions were held daily in addition to speeches by Senator Thomas from Oklahoma, who spoke on "The American Monetary System", and George Zook, U. S. Commissioner of Education.
Kurt Riesen stated that the most interesting discussion was the one concerning the honor system, which was led by C. Girard Davidson.
The delegates were entertained i
the evening at various dinners and
dances. At 2:30 on Thursday the dele
gates attended a reception at the Whit
House, given by Mrs. Franklin I
Roosevelt.
KANSAS NAMED CRUSADING
STATE BY RADIO PUBLICATION
"Radio Tours" a radio map publication of the RCA containing the radio stations of the United States and Canada and Mexico, giving the location, call letters and frequency of each station, contains a brief description of radio programs in each state. It has the following to say concerning Kansas:
"Kansas might be called the crusading state. Its entire history reflects the spirit of the abolitionists of Yankee Puritan stock who settled the state during troubled times when slavery was a vexing political issue. KFKU, the university of Kansas' station at Lawrence, offers courses in Elementary French Mondays and Wednesdays at 2:45 p.m. German Tuesdays and Thursdays at 2:30. Listen to organ melodies from KFBI, Abilene, 5:30 p.m."

Jayhawker Miler Seeks to Repeat Victories in East
Athletic Directors Approve Schedule of Indoor Carnivals; First Race, Feb. 3
Cunningham's first race as outlined upon the list prepared and submitted by track coach W. H. Bill Hargiss, will be the Wanamaker mile, a feature of the Millrose Athletic club meet in New York on Feb. 3.
Athletic authorities at the University of Kansas today approved the proposed schedule of special events in which Glenn Cunningham, Jayhawk middle-distance runner, who recently was awarded the Sullivan medal for outstanding sportsmanship and athletic ability, will participate this winter. The schedule as outlined will include seven eastern indoor sports carnivals in addition to the regular Big Six meets already scheduled for this season.
In this race as in other eastern races this winter, Cunningham expects to meet with stiff competition from such stars as Lugui Becealli, Italian runner who won the Olympic 1500-meters run in which Cunningham took fourth and was the first American to cross the tape; Bill Bontron, Princeton flash who ran second to Jack Loveok of Australia last summer in a world's record-breaking mile; Gene Venzek, Pennsylvania miler, and indoor record holder whom Cunningham defeated three times last winter; Magnum of Cornell; and Crawley of Manhattan College.
Will Face Italian Star
Bocalli has beaten Lovelock, outdoor record holder for the mile run, several times, so that the Jayhawker star will be matching strides with the best that Europe and America can offer.
Cunningham's fastest race to date was his 4:09.9 mile run at the National Collegiate A.A. carnival in Chicago last summer. Bornon thrilled his best time when he finished second to Lovelock, in 4:08.7. In the 1500 meters run, Beavalli holds the world record at 3:49; Cunningham's best is his mark of 3:52.3 established in the A.A.U. outdoor meet at Chicago last summer.
Two of the other meets which Cunningham will enter this winter were on his season's roll last year; the Baxter Mile of the New York Athletic club and the Columbian Mile, feature of the Knights of Columbus meet in New York, both of which he won last year.
The second race of the year for the Jayhawk will be the Hunter Mile, Feb. 10, sponsored by the Boston Athletic club. This is a special invitation meet.
Other meets in which Cunningham has not participated before are the American Indoor championships in New York, the Butter University meet at Indianapolis and the Shrine meet at Buffalo, N. Y.
Track Coach Bill Hargiss said that the University probably would enter a small team along with Cunningham in the Butter University meet. A mile relay team and a shot-putter would be matched, and the meet will not Compile. Meets Will Not Compile with Classe
The Shrine meet at Buffalo extended an invitation to the Jayhawkers last year, but it was declined because of an already full schedule.
Most of the eastern dates will in no way conflict with Cunningham's classes. Feb. 3, the date of the first race comes at mid-senecate time at the University and the second on Feb. 10, will not necessitate the loss of more than two or three days.
The Shrine meet at Buffalo will come during Easter vacation.
In addition to the eastern indoor season, Cunningham will be a member of the Kansas team at the Big Six outdoor meet at Columbia, March 3; the Big Six outdoor meet at Lincoln, May 18 and 19; the Kansas-Missouri dual meet on May 12; and the Kansas Relays.
His schedule follows:
Feb. 3–Millrose Athletic club, New York, to run in the Wanamaker miler, New York.
Feb. 10—Boston Athletic club, to run the Hunter mile, on special invitation.
Feb. 17—New York Athletic club, Boston mile, won last year by Cunningham.
Feb. 24—American Indoor Championships, New York.
March 15—Knights of Celiburn
male, mile, won last year by Cunningham.
March 24-Butler University meet at Indianapolis.
Indianapolis.
March 31—Shrine meet, Buffalo, N.Y.
