University, October 7.--{Special.)-
More engineers" is the demand
from Alabama's increasing industries
and tho University of Alabama has
found Itself this year with more en-
cheering students than its present
facilitiesN can handle.
Conner Hall the largest building
on the campus of the state univer-
sity, was erected twelve years ago
as the engineering building. The
number of engineering students at
that time, however, was not large
enough to. require use 5ofathe entire
building and other departments were
installed there. Now the situation
has changed. With the largest en-
rollment of engineering students at
the state university this year in its
history, place must be found for the
other departments in order that all
of Conner Hall may be used for
instruction, laboratory and shop work
in engineering.
The present enrolment of engi-
neering students at the state univer-
sity is nearly ESQ students. Just
twenty years ago there were only ~
engineering students at the univer-
sity, an increase of more than 1000
per cent in twenty years.
Addition Of vocational training for
former soldiers to the other work
carried on at Conner Hall has been
another factor in increasing conges-
ton. Nearly 275 rehabilitation stu
dents are now being given instrue-
ton at the expense of the federal
government at the university. and
this has inevitably placed a heavy
additional burden upon the physical
facilities of the engineering depart
ment.
Shops, laboratories and class rooms
must be used not only by greatly
Increased number of engineering stu
dents but by the vocational students
as we'll.
Conner Hall now contains not only

whatever action they may take.
One Of the liveliest political battles Of
the last decade is in prospect. The fer
tilizer and other interests hostile to the
Ford offer have started a campaign
against it. Ford's friends. who include
leading members of the farm bloc" have
mapped out plans TO counterfeit the op-
position and they claim TO be backed by
rapidly growing sentiment from the
agricultural sections for the prompt ac-
ceptance Of the offer.
Ford will leave Washington tonight for
Buffalo. without holding further confer

BONUS MOTTO
ADD ONE CENT
TOTAX BURDEN
Republican Leaders Declare
Foreign Debt Interest
Will Provide.
HARDING LIKES PLAN

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Ths United
States will pay a soldier bonus" with
out one cent of additional taxation upon
the people, under plans Republican lead
ers in Congress were working on today.
This plan calls for paying the bonus
with interest on the foreign debt, or by
the sale of bonds issued against cOIlec-
ton of the war debt principle.
1.-THE proposal that the foreign debt be
used to pay the bonus" undoubtedly
will be adopted, if it proves feasible, and
1 believe it will" Representative Ford
ney, chairman of the House Ways and
Means Committee, said. President
Harding is in favor of the plan and has
personally commended it to the COM
mittee."
The first step in the bonus" program
will be the enactment Of the foreign debt
refunding bill already passed by the
House and shortly to be taken up in the
Senate On the heels Of the debt bills
passage House sponsors plan to bring
out the bonus measure, pass it in short
order and send it to the Senate.
The bonus" bill as now planned, will
carry no means Of raising revenue, mere
i
the foreign debt.
Under this plan, Administration leaders
doubt arise from the question of how
started before late next year. This
doubt arises fro mthe question Of how
long the commission created by the for
eign debt refunding bill viii need to
whip the debt into shape so money will
start coming in.
To pay the bonus" the commission
would collect Immediately as much Of
tins. debt interest amounting to about
two billion dollars as the debtor nations
were able to pay and the rest OF the
bonus" money would be raised through
the sale of debt bonds.
4 powerful attempt will be made in
both branches Of Congress TO have the
bonus" money raised by a sales tax.
Advocates Of this tax contend hooking
the bonus up with the foreign debt,
puts the bonus on an extremely uncer-
tain basis and will not guarantee pay
ments,
