During a financial emergency, the President can indeed reduce the salary of all Union public officials, including judges of the Supreme Court. This provision is explicitly mentioned in Article 360 of the Indian Constitution.

However, the second statement is incorrect. A financial emergency does not need parliamentary approval. It is declared by the President based on their assessment of the financial stability of the country. There's no requirement for parliamentary approval.

The third statement is also incorrect. When President's Rule (Article 356) is imposed in a state due to failure of constitutional machinery, the state legislative assembly may be either suspended or dissolved, but it's not an automatic dissolution.

Therefore, only statement 1 is correct
