WASHINGTON, A p r i l 18
(AP). — President Roosevelt
asked today for $975,000,000
to run WPA next year and si-
multaneously abandoned hope
of getting from congress, the
$460,000,000 in new taxes re-
quested in January.
In a letter to the speaker of the
house, Mr. Roosevelt held to his
original budget for WPA, with one
major exception—he asked permis-
sion to spend the entire $975,000,-
000 in eight months if “necessary
to avoid suffering and hardships.”
Last year’s relief law required that
the WPA appropriation be spread
over the entire 12 months’ fiscal
period.
The president’s remarks on taxes
were made to a press conference
held just before his letter on relief
was read to the house. In connec-
tion. with the possibility of larger
relief appropriations to cover the
full year beginning July 1. Mr.
Roosevelt asked what might happen
to the public debt which is nearing
the $45,000,000,000 legal limit.
The president replied that con-
gress might cut his budget estimate
for 1941 by a couple of hundred
millions; that all appropriations
voted this session would not neces-
sarily be spent in the fiscal year;
and that it was possible tax re-
ceipts would be up, perhaps $200,-
000,000 over estimates.

A low-pressure storm area
moved eastward away from
the Texas coast today, its
vacuum drawing a new cold
wave out of the panhandle far
down into the state.
Freezing weather and a heavy
frost, apparently finishing fruit
crops which escaped the last freeze
a week ago, swept over Amarillo.
The temperature there dropped to
25. Damage to other crops, if any,
was not determined.
