NEW FINANCIAL PROBLEMS SEEN BY NEW DEAL Huee Spending Schedule a Brings Search for Places to Cut Expense. RELIEF MAY FEEL CUT Roosevelt Goes Into Confer ence With Authorities i to Seek Savings. Washington, Feb. 6.

(AP) Fiscal problems arising from the bonus. farm relief and other scheduled spend ing impelled the new deal today into a search for places to cut expense, Hi ch administration officials indl cated relief might feel the axe. President Roosevelt also called heads of other spending agencies into conference to determine what funds, authorized but still unspent, could be saved.

said recent moves proved he was right In predicting a month ago that bonus pajtnent would "place the brakes" upon government spending. As the President called his assistants into the fiscal conference for the spending check-up, the fight over inflation sharpened in congress.

Though some Capitol Hill quarters heard that the administration has not at present any plan to ask'bonua taxes, Patman said he would drive ahead with his inflationary move anyway. If the house rules committee, dominated by an anti-Inflation bloc, refuses to give his legislation access to the floor, Patman said he would circulate a petition to force action.

This would require 211 signature! and some delay, however, and Democratic leaders predicted such a plan could not be carried out before the session ends. Patman attacked bankers, attributing to them the recent movement of gold out of the United States. "An attempt Is being made to carry several million dollars worth of gold out of this country In an effort to scare us, but it won't succeed," he said.
