T.. L. Williams, traffic patrolman
Cf CaleXico, was cleared of charge
of assault with a deadly weapon at
q preliminary hearing held before
Judge l. Mayfield in Calexico yes
terdav. After evidence had been
presented by both the prosecution

GENERAL

For Conference.
TO DISCUSS BUDGET
Coolidge Seeking For
More Information on
Army Housing Problem
By PAUL R. MALLON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE
ranking officer of the army, Major
General Charles p. Summerall, was
secretly called to Washington by
President Coolidge so that Mr..
Coolidge could talk with him immed-
lately regarding army housing con
ditions, it was unofficially explained
at the White House today.
Budget estimates of all govern
mcnt expenses including those con
templated for the army must be
made ready within few weeks for
the opening Of congress in Decem-
Der.
Mr.. Coolidge wants to find out
whether Summcrall's s charges that
soldiers are living IN fire traps war
rant expansion of the contemplated
army building program. That was
his sole motive, it was said, in re-
calling the chief of staff following
Summerall's speech at San Diego,
Cal, picturing the living conditions
of many American men of arms as
worse than those Of prison camps.
The only formal announcement
upon the subject made from the
White House executive office was
issued by Everett Sanders, secretary
to the president, who said merely
that Mr.. Coolidge wanted to talk
with Summcrall about the budget.
Mr.. Coolidge has had the matter
of army housing under considcra-
tion for some time. 1t is known
that the budget estimates now in
tentative form provide for increase
in building appropriations but the
exact sum will not be made public
until the budget is formally submit
ted to congress.
The matter which the president
desires to thresh out with Summerall
is whether the proposed budget csti-
mates for building are sufficient To
correct the present state of affairs,
II was said.
Mr. Coolidge had no desire to rep
rimand Summcrall by recalling him
from his tour of inspection, it was
said.
