The new Federal budget, which
stacks an eleventh consecutive deficit
upon the ten preceding, has a
number of Jokers hidden in the pile
of figures.
It is this fact, which should be
interesting if not startling: Out of
16 government departments Mid independent
civil agencies, the President
cut expenditures for 13 and ask
ed increases tor three.
The three Increases were the Department
of Labor, the Post Office
Department and the Maritime Com
mission. The latter la a new agency.
Just getting well underway at the
task of building up the American
merchant marine. The Post Office
Increase was reauested simply bocause
better business Is expected
next year, and when business improves
the Post Office Depnrtmeent
