Secretary Hoover. in his discussion
OF the personnel of the conference,
said that the delegates had not been
chosen because they were OF q par

lections were on the basis that the
delegates chosen would be helpful
in reaching q solution OF the unem-
ployment problem.
Secretary Hoover said Il was his
desire to limit the size of the con-
ference. and thereby make It an eff
cient working group. To do that, he
said, he had to turn q deaf ear to
appeals from hundreds. Of trnde
groups which sought representation.

"The only settlement that has
taken place has been in the Rp-

reinforced concrete mat, rather than
being supported by piers carried

constructing the approaches, tests
were made Of tho bearing power Of
the soil and these tests clearly indi-
Gated an excess Of bearing power for

said, that settlement of the ap-

parts could be readily underpinned II

these structures could be readily reset
after settlement had ceased without
any detriment to the Memorial struc-

which underpinning~- could be accom-
