Councilman Hall snid Council would
be glad to appropriate more money for
the Scsqui Centennial when It Is needed
and asked for.
"As to the executives appointed to
take charge of the fair," snid Mr.. Hall,
II don't want to get into a controversy
with those in charge as to the manner
IN which the fair ought to be run.
"iou will recall. however, sug-
gcstcd Herbert Hoover be chosen direc-
tor general. If we cannot get Mr..
Hoover, my next choice would be Gen
cral Gocthnls. who built the Panama
Canal do not think it IL necessary
to choose director general from Phil

a national undertaking.

political sub. division of one State of the
Union. The anniversary which the
fair will mark belongs TO all the Nation.

"Of the opinion that there should be an
executive head Of the fair
Il favor an executive director along
the lines suggested by Governor Sproui
Thursday at the luncheon ut the Belle
vue Strutford, when the State Sesuui
Centennial Committee was organized" :"
said Mr.. Won Tagen.
II know how hard it Is to get eX
peditiOus action out Of committee
When II committee IL called upon to
decide II matter II Is only natural and
courteous for one member to consult
another. and that occasions delay and
may initiate against the fair. The man
who IL the executive director Of the fail
should be Il man who can say YES OF
