The election of Hamada met with

MADDEN TO AID
UNFOLDING BUDGET
Assures President He Will
Try to Keep Estimates
Within Bounds.

President Coolidge was given assur.
ance today by Representative Martin
E. Madden of Illinois, chairman of the
House appropriations committee. that
he can count on his support in keep
ing the appropriations during the
coming session within the limits of
the budget estimates to be submitted
to Congress by the President.
In fact, Mr.. Madden is hopeful of
trimming the estimates even more
than the Budget Bureau has done in
their preparation. but he was not in a
position today to reveal just where
his pruning knife would fall heaviest.
He feels confident that the tax re
duction bill when it is finally passed
by Congress will not exceed $780,
000.0 900. He is not so sure that II
will be as low as the S225,oOO.OoO
which has been set by the Secretary
of the Treasury as the maximum and
which has been approved by the
President. So far as the House Is
concerned the taxes will not be
slashed below the administration f1g :
ures. but he is of the opinion that
the Senate will go farther and 1t
then is a question in his mind just
the reduction can be kept after the
conferees reach an agreement.
Sees Attempts at Extravagance.
The chairman of the appropriations
committee is fully aware that there
will be all sorts of attempts at .ex-
travagances during the coming ses-
sion and that the leadership in both
houses should be careful to prevent
what appears now to be a contem-
plated raid on the Treasury in the
form of needless and reckless appro-
priation measures. He thinks also
that IN view of the extra demands to
be made upon the Treasury. such as
huge appropriations for flood control,
that Congre should exercise extreme
care in not being overeXtravagant If
the Nation Is to be saved the embar-
rassment of deficit. He stated that
this warning holds good in connec-
ton with the reduction of taxes. and
for that reason he will work in the
interest of the administrations pro-
gram.
Mr.. Madden has not yet made up
his mind as to what schedule in the
tax act should be revised, but at this
time he is inclined to save us reduc-
ing the corporation tax.
Because of the wide publicity given
to the importance of Federal appro-
priation to be used in flood control
and because of the sentiment associ.
ated with this subject, Mr.. Madden
expects to see many unworthy pro.
posals FOR spending public money
brought forward during the discus
sion of the flood control legislation
with a view to incorporating them
in a general control bill. He said
that the leaders must be on the look
out to recognize these attempts to

world champion heavyweight fighter
in his Office today. President Coolidge
told him that he thought he looked

fighter.
The big pugilist smiled when he
related this afterward and gave no
evidence that he felt hurt by the
reference He had been introduced
to the President by Maj Gen.
Lejeune, commandant Of the Marine

Mr. Tunney said that he did not
find the President as taciturn and
Sphynxlike as he had imagined from
the accounts he had read Of him in
the papers. He said the President
asked him a number Of questions

him also when his next fight would
be and Tunney told him that 1t would

The President then wanted to know
who his opponent would be on that
occasion and was told by the cham
pion that that all depended upon the
outcome of series of bouts to be
held in the meantime.
During this brief chat with the
champion the President informed him
that he had not seen prize fight in

OPPOSITION GROWS
AGAINST BRAT|ANO
Hints of Trouble Against
Rumanian Politicians Heard
From Three Sources.
BY JOHN GUNTHER.

BUCHAREST, November 10 {By
Courier to Paris)-For IS years the
Bratiano brothers have controlled
politics in Rumania, and while their
ascendancy still is supreme, they are
facing more critical period than in
many years.
Hints of real trouble from three
sources face them.
First, there is the court. While 1t
is absolutely untrue that Queen Marie
is under duress Of any kind, never.
theless she has retired to her private
castle, Balcic. on the Black Sea; has
not been seen in the capital for
month. and is taking no part in poll
ical life. Even the Bratianos' friends
feel that a woman with so vital and
aggressive a temperament is unlikely
to be content to remain a secondary
fgure behind the Bratiano regency
forever. Marie says she does not
want to be a member of the regency
and does not want Prince Carol to
return. Nevertheless some strain be-
tween Marie and the Bratianos is
apparent.
Kings Mother Changed Plans.
Again, as regards the Queen
mother. Helen. who also is living in
strict retirement. it is said she has
had brush with Bratiano. She want
ed to leave the country with her
brother. former King George OF
Greece, to visit her sister, Princess
Irene, on the occasion Of Irene's en-
~. Drix nr
her passport was visaed for the trip
she suddenly changed her plans and
did not leave the country. Perhaps
it was her tact, not wishing to ap-
pear to desert Bucharest in a time
of scandal. Perhaps it was outward
| pressure of some kind.
Reports that Premier Bratiano has
| threatened Marie and Helen with a
republic if they do not behave are al
most certainly false, since both
Queens realize that strong man like
Bratiano is necessary to the country
and do not want to seriously oppose
him, at least not yet. But it Is true
that the Bratianos find the present
| awkward regency much less con-
venient facade for their rule than
the old kingdom.
In the second place, Premier Bra
| tIano is said to be facing a certain
amount of discomfort even in the re-
gency. One of the three regents. Pres
| ident BuZdugan of the Supreme Court,
has refused to sign certain judicial
| appointments suggested by the pre-
| mier, and when the premier asked the
appointments of Gen. Mardafesna as

everybody's amazement. end said he
was going TO be generalissimo him.

Patriarch Inclined to Oppose.
! Regent Patriarch Costin, former
devoted henchman of Bratiano, also
apparently is inclined to kick up his
heels, even though, like the others he
owes his appointment to the remier.
