BUDGET TRIMMED
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4—Pres
ident Roosevelt presented Con
gress today with a message, con
templating the second smallest
deficits of his two administrations
as he read his fiscal policies and
challenged his critics to show
where any further cuts could be
made in federal expenses.
Specifying in his budget
message that $460,000,000 of
emergency national defense ex
penditures should be - offset by
special taxes, he forecast a net
deficit for the next fiscal year—
beginning July 1— of $1,716,000,
000 as against $3,933,000,000 for
the current year, ending June 30.
The reduced budget means, Mr.
Roosevelt said, that the govern
ment has “prepared to move for
ward on reduced rations” and
that any further cuts would re
sult in ‘ “undue hardships on in
dividuals and economic groups.”
The public works program,
linked closely with the relief ag
encies in supplying jobs for the
needy, felt the presidential prun
ing knife.
Mr. Roosevelt said that the ad
ministration expected to spend
$1,100,000,000 on public works in
the year starting next July 1, a
reduction of about $300,000,000.

TWO GOOD GOLFERS TALK IT OVER
James* Barnes (left), former United States and British open golf
champion, and Henry C. Fownes 2nd of Pittsburgh - inspect the club
with which Mr. Fownes made a hole-in-one at the ninth of the cham

DINEHURST SCOREBOARD
■ <by ROBERT E. HARLOW
Delvin Miller, of the Haines Shoe Wizard stable, which now has
16 head of harness horses at the Pinehurst race track, and Carl Recor
of the Parshall stables, dropped in on the Outlook last, night, and
both predicted that more top horses would be trained in Pinehurst
this winter and spring than at any other place in America.
They estimated that at least 120 to 125 head of high class har
ness horse flesh would be quartered here, and stated that if there
were stable facilities, Sep Paiin would bring the E. J. Baker horses
from St. Charles, 111., to Pinehurst. The Baker horses are raced by
the Hotel Baker stables, and include among the number Greyhound,
1:55 1-4, the world’s champion trotter. He was voted the horse of
the year in 1938.
Gem Hanover, highest priced yearling of 1939, is among the
Baker horses.
Horsemen Recor and Miller state that Sep Palin is one of the
outstanding trainers in America, and that if he succeeds in finding
stable quarters and brings his trotters and pacers, it would influence
many other harness horsemen to think seriously about Pinehurst as
a* winter training camp.
Wayne Groves came in the office later and said:
“It would be a great thing to get Sep here in Pinehurst. Each
year for 20 years Palin has developed one of the leading stables on
the Grand Circuit. There is no question but what the Palin-Baker
stable would develop one or more stars during the winter. This is
the best climate for training horses.”
Mr. Baker inherited the bulk of the fortune of “Bet A Million”
John W. Gates.
A number of Pinehurst horsemen will leave here this weekend
to go to Urbana, Ohio, where on Tuesday night, January 9, Dr. H. M.
Parshall is to be guest of honor at a banquet given by the Chamber
of Commerce and Civic Clubs of Urbana, Ohio. Urbana is Doc’s
home town. ' ~

FRANK MURPHY IS
NAMED TO HIGH COURT,
TERMED “LAY BISHOP”
i .. ■__
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4—(ff)
President Roosevelt nominated
Attorney General Frank Mur
phy today to be an associate
justice of the Supreme Court
and Solicitor General Robert H.
Jackson to succeed him as head
of the justice department.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4—^)—
Frank Murphy once said that his
father had “ordained” him to “a
social priesthood.” The late Car
dinal Mundelein proclaimed him
“a lay bishop.”
When he was appointed attor
ney general less than two decades
after leaving the American army
in Germany as Captain Murphy,
he said that “to me this is an
other job and another chance to
serve the people.” It was a char
acteristic expression.
A bachelor, Murphy never
smokes nor drinks. In the past
28 years, he has read the , Bible
15 times, a chapter a day.
But he is also an athlete, a
swimmer, horseman, dancer and
boxer. While his voice is low
and deliberate, his manner defer
ential, his private motto is “sp^ak
softly and hit hard.”
The 46-year-old Murphy, who
had said he thought others were
much better qualified than he for
a seat on the high court bench,
has been attorney general since
January 2, 1939.
Formerly he was high com
missioner to the Philippines and
Governor of Michigan for' two
years.
