Mills Proposes Revised Plan To Balance Budget
Edward W. Pickard reports Ogden L Mills and associates in the Treasury outline a revised program to raise about 1.033 billion dollars to balance the budget.

The plan aims to cut expenditures by roughly 200 million, with limited retroactive tax changes and selective new levies on tobacco checks and drafts.
