PORK BARREL To

Of HARDING NOW
President Prepares to Fight Methods
Of Distributing "Pork" Among
Various Districts; to
Slice Expense.
BY RAYMOND cLAPPER

Omitted Pres Staff Correspondent J
Washington March 29.-President
Harding is preparing to fight strong
ly against the return to. the pork
barrel" system of appropriations
which is threatened by house COM
mittees that have disregarded the
figures of the budget bureau in
framing pending supply measures, it
was learned today
He feels that the old wasteful
methods will grow UP again unless
he demands rigid adherence to the
expenditures recommended by budget
officials.
Announcement of the presidents
intention of fighting for the spirit
as we'll as the letter of the more
business like budget method was
prompted by the action of the house
appropriations sub committee in slip
ping a $15,000,000 item into the
army appropriation bill for rivers and
harbors-the favorite method of
passing the 'pork" around among
various congressional districts. This
action particularly disturbed Harding
because the house committee had just
previously slashed the appropriations
for the army proper and the navy
far below what budget officials NAM
ed as the rock bottom figure.
Likewise the committee struck
out $1,5O0,OO0 from the department
of justice figures and more than

Threatened.
(By The United Press }

Memphis, Tenn, March 29.-Three

The 170 miles of levee stretching
from Caruthersville, Mo-, to Helena,
Ark, on the Arkansas shore today
are under semi-military control.
Armed patrols are under instruc-
tions to permit no one to walk or
land on the levee without pass
More than million acres of Ar
kansas land behind the levee Is now
lower than the water in the river.
Fifty government engineers, 300
regular patrolmen and scores of vol
unteers are keeping close watch on
every foot of the levee. There is a
patrol for every quarter of mila
on duty, day and night
At Memphis the river is five miles

flood water is % miles wide.
Hundreds of huts inside the levee

The United States will be the first
nation to ratify the treaty, which
after the other nations have ap-
proved It, will start to inaugurate a

Borah Makes Fight.
The naval limitation treaty would
be a disaster instead OF benefit, "if
II should be regarded in the senate
or elsewhere as all we should do
toward disarmament, even within
the next ten years." Senator Borah,
Idaho asserted.
Borah said he was thankful for
the degree of naval disarmament
achieved and did not doubt 1t repre-
sented everything possible at the re
cent arms conference, but the world
must not accept it as "a complete
program, he warned
at is the beginning and only the
beginning" said Borah. 81 would

greatness of the achievement, the
Importance and value of this first

Borah said the controversy over
the real authorship Of the arms con-
ference was easy to settle, for public
opinion brought about the meeting.

Shortly before the scheduled treaty

nounced he would vote against the
pact
France said it was not easy for
him to mar the beautiful picture OF
unanimous ratification Of this treaty,
but he would vote against it because
he felt "it was a vote in behalf OF
the peoples welfare"
France is the only senator who has
announced himself against the pact.

 Change in Ownership

Athens Courier: The Birming- ham Age-Herald was sold the past week by Mrs. Barrett, widow of the lamented Edward Barrett, for 25 years owner and editor of the paper. The men to buy this great news paper were Frederick I. Thompson, owner and editor of the Mobile Reg ister and Mobile News Item, both morning and afternoon dailies, and former Gov. B. B. Conner and his son, Donald Conner. This makes a wonderful team. Brains and money in profusion. Thompson with his years of success as a publisher and editor and the Corners with their millions in money and great energy, means for Birmingham and for the state greater paper than it has known. They have great oppor- tunity.
 Florence Times: An interesting incident in the Alabama newspaper field the past week was the sale of the Birmingham Age-Herald to MT. Frederick I. Thompson, former United States Senator B. B. Conner and his son, Donald Conner. Since the death of Mir. Barrett, a few months ago, the paper has been un- der the management of Mrs. Bar rett, who now retires from the strenuous life of journalism. Mir. Thompson is the owner and editor of the Mobile Register, and one of the ablest newspaper men in the state. Governor Comer's associa- ton with the press of Alabama adds interest to the situation, as that distinguished citizen is a live wire in all of his fields of operation.
 Cullman Tribune: Mrs. Lewis E. Barrett, widow of the late Edward w. Barrett, for 25 years editor and owner of the Birmingham Age-Her- aid, has sold the paper to Frederick I. Thompson, editor and owner of the Mobile Register. and former U. s. Senator B. B. Conner and his son, Donald Conner. MT. Thompson is one of the most successful news paper men in the south today. and he will make The Age-Herald on. of the leading dailies of the south.
