Dawes is giving up a prosperous
banking business in Chicago to take
this task. His life here, according to
all forecasts. is certain to be one long
fight with bureau chiefs who want
large appropriations, and congressman
who wanr to keep their friends in
easy government jobs.
Has Full Authority.
Dawes will be given full authority
by President Harding to WELD the
knife me-cilessly in the hope of put
ting affairs here on an economic basis.
Dawes is one of a sizeable group OF
big business men President Harding has
persuaded to come to Washington at
great monetary sacrifice to assist IN
putting more business in government.
Mr.. Dawes said he would ask that
two army officers. who distinguished
themselves for organization work IN
the American eXpeditionary forces, be
detailed to the bureau and had asked
his business associate in Chicago, VIM.
T. Abott, to serve temporarily as act
ing assistant director.
VIII Draft Business Men.
A large force of the nations leading
busin men, possibly one hundreo
will be "conscripted.' to serve without
pay in putting the government on q
business basis, Charles G.. Dawes OF
Chicago. announced on his arrival here
dent Harding.
Dawes said "pitiful machinery pro
vided by the budget law" for this task
makes it necessary to rely on volun-
tecr assistance. Only four men are
given him under the law, he said.
zone might as well be handed a
too-hpiclS with which to tunnel PlKe
Peak" Dawes declared.
1T is evident that If this, the great
est business crisis which our govern
ment has ever been confronted with
is to be specially met. chief reliance
viii have to be placed on something
else than the pitiful machinery pro-
vided by law.
Will Hasten His Work.
'T am therefore accepting the posi-
ton of director of the budget only
with the idea that the patriotism OF
the bureau chiefs and the country as
as whole can be so aroused in this
emergency that it will be met as was
the emergency of war four years ago
Unless the bureau chiefs and the
leading business men of the country
respond to a call of the president as
they did four years ago, the situation
is hopeless, so far as any material re-
lief for two years is concerned from
this course"
Dawes spent an hour with Harding
and then issued a statement outlining
his plans He said he expects to work
out a new budget by December 1 and
then retire to private life again.

which prices snapped back" in the
last half hour Of trading were the
features of the stock market to-
day.
while most OF the buying in the
late part Of the session represented

there was a fair amount OF pUr-
chases by wealthy Interests who.
while not believing that prices have
reached the bottom, have started 20
take stocks on a scale down. This
was particularly true Of Resdtns
and Mexican Petroleum.
The lowest prices were made in
the FIRST hour and reflected a con-
tinuation OF the professional short
selling and frightened liquidation
which was in full progress when
the market closed on Friday. Sub
stantiaI selling was carried on by
persons desirous Of securing funds
with which TO pay their income
taxes.
Some Of the largest wire houses
which have branches in several Of
the largest cities began advising
the purchase OF stocks today.
Purchases Of a substantial char
acter were made in Pacific Oil for.
investment. This stock is consid-'
cred a good speculation because Of
the good management Of the com
pany and a belief that the future
Of California as the largest oil
producing State is assured.
Royal Dutch continued to reflect
the buying which has been Eoing
on in IL the last week. Dutch in
vestors continue to absorb the
stock.
Rumors were current that the
Sinclair was contemplating doing
some new financing in connection
with the storing Of oil which il has
been purchasing. The Street per-
sists in believing that the Standard
ION OF Indiana has a substantial
interest in the company.
