Municipal budget estimates for
the 1940-41 fiscal year which open-
ed Monday total $74,605 for the
general fund and $55,685 for the
water department fund as tentative-
ly approved by the El Reno city
council, it was disclosed today by
John Oliver Hall, city manager.
The general fund figure is a

nomination of Colonel Prank I an $18,445 increase over the last
Knox, Chicago Republican, to be1 fiscal year
secretary of the navy.
This action cleared the way for
senate consideration, probably early
next week, of the Knox appoint-
ment and of the nomination of
Henry L. Stimson, also a Repub-
lican, to be secretary of war.
The naval committee vote came
after Knox had been questioned
at length about, and had denied
specifically, a report that he
favored sending United States sol-
diers to fight in Europe. Stimson's
nomination was approved yester-
day by the senate military affairs
committee.
Testimony Is Repealed
Knox, Chicago newspaper pub-
lisher and 1936 vice presidential |
nominee of his party, appeared
before the naval committee for
the second successive day. Knox [
reiterated, as Stimson and he had I
testified yesterday, that both men j
accepted the cabinet positions out i
of a sense oi duty.
Senator Rush Holt < Democrat
Last year in the general fund
the original appropriation was
$75,190.04 but after supplemental
appropriations the total actually
spent was $80,711.04. The water
department original appropriation
was $37,240 and the total spent
after supplemental appropriations
was $40,860.
The increase of $18,445 in the
water fund budget for the fiscal
year now starting represents the
additional cost which will lie nec-
essary to operate the new soften-
ing and filtration plant now almost
completed, it was explained.
However, the city manager point-
ed out, the water fund increase
does not take into account a loss
of about $6,500 in revenue which
will result from lowered rates for
the federal reformatory. The fed-
eial prison bureau is building the
water softening plant in return
for special rates to the prison
here,
As budget estimates must be
based on actual'revenue during the
past year rather than by antici-
pated revenue this year, he added,
the full amount expected to be
required for operation of the wa-
ter department cannot be appropri-
ated now.
Most items, including salaries, in
the water department will be set
up for 11 months only and then
a surplus gained by the end of the
fiscal year can be divided by sup-
plemental appropriations to com-
plete the year. Tire city council is
considering ordering substantial
increases in water rates to take
$5,000,000,000 Supplemen-
tary Program Discussed
At White House
necessary for use in the water
softening and filtration plant will
cost $16,000, that maintenance of
the water plant will rise from
$1,000 to $1,500 and that several
other smaller items will be raised.
Estimates for the distribution
system of the water department
dropped from $19,010 to $15,930,

Knox thought there was any dan-
ger in the formation of a coal-
ition government.
"You haven’t got a coalition
government.” the witness replied.
He said it was his idea that a
"coalition” implied official party
action on both sides.
".lu.sl Two Individuals"
"We are not representing the
Republican party at all,” he added
of Stimson and himself. "We are
just two privatp individuals try-
ing to do a job," he continued.
"For a long time I have been
a reserve officer and If I had
been called to duty bv a Demo-
cratic administration 1 would have
gone as quickly as if it had been
a Republican administration that
issued the call. I regard this
position in the same light."
Chairman David I, Walsh (Denm
rrat, Massachusetts) speaking for-
mally as head of the committee,
said In a statement that Knox |

borhood commissioner

NEW YORK. July 3-'/P)—'Wen-

I thought party lines would play
little part in the coming presiden-
tial campaign and that the issue
is between those who believe in
the new deal's philosophy and
j those who oppose it.
Asked to comment on a state-
ment by John L. Lewis, C. I. O.
chief, that Senator Burton K.
Wheeler iDemocrat. Montana) was

could nominate to defeat him,
WiUkle said:

tanks and guns.
Details were worked out in a
conference between President
Roosevelt and key officials in the
defense program but the necessity
for completing some factors for
the n«vy probably will result In
holding up its submission to con-
gress until next week.
Allocations Indicated
The multiibillion dollar pro-
gram may be split about equally
between outright appropriations
and authorizations for additional
appropriations to be made subse-
quently.
The army is expected to be given
some $4,000,000,000 in appropria-
tions and authorizations and the
navy another $1,000,000,000
Meanwhile the national defense
commission announced today the
Packard Motor company had a-
greed tentatively to undertake a
contract for 9,000 aircraft engines
—3 000 for the United States and
6,000 for Great Britain.
Ford Refuses Order
William S. Knudsen, in charge
of defense production, said the
agreement was subject to approval
of the Packard directors.
Henry Ford refused the order,
saying he would work only for
I the United States.
The navy awarded contracts today
1 fo, three aircraft carriers to cost
$43,662,000 each and two cruisers
to cost $19,272,500 each. They are

German bombers rained incendi-
ary bombs over England late to-
day in the third wave of raids
in 24 hours
The Nazi planes struck twice in
broad daylight in an apparently
intensified new schedule of attack
to spread terror and destruction
among Britain's densely populated
millions before launching the pro-
jected invasion of the island king-
dom.
In the afternoon assault, Ger-
man bombers set fire to a big
building in southeast England
while others touched off alarms
in the northeast.

Documents Allegedly Found
In Berlin, the official German

ed allied "win the war" plans for
dragging most of Europe into the
10-months-old conflict.
DNB asserted documents cap-
tured in France disclosed an allied
program for entangling Rumania,
| Turkey, Greece, Yugoslavia and
Scandinavia to gain widespread
new battlefronts against Germany.
The Nazi high command said
German planes attacked a convoy
off the English channel coast and
sank 18.000 tons of British ship-
ping. German submarines, the high
command added, torpedoed another
39,000 tons.
