MANAGUA, Nicaragua, April 29.-
Henry L. ;Stimson, personal represen
tative of President Coolidge, and
Charles &. Eberhardt. American
Minister to Nicaragua, yesterday
went by special train to the town OF
Leon to accept an invitation from the
Liberal executive committee there
who desired to place their views and
plans before him on the possibility oi
ending the present civil war.
Mr.. Stimson, who planned 70
return to Managua some time last
night. was accompanied also by DIR,
/ Enoch Aguado, a prominent Managu ia
Liberal.
DR.. Aguado and Carlos Morales, who
went on last months futile peace
mission to Muy Muy, are playing
leading parts in arranging the forth
coming conference between Mr.. Slim.
son and representatives Of the Llberai
President, DR.. Juan Sacasa. 1t is ex-
pected that they will represent the
Liberal attitude in this vicinity.
The United States destroyer Pres
Con, bearing three members or Dr.
rSacasa's cabinet, is speeding from
Puerto Cabezas, the Liberal headquar'
ters. and reports that she probably
will reach Corinto this afternoon.
! Meanwhile Liberal and Conservative
aghting is continuing. Conservative
/, aviators reported Tuesday that 1,5OO
Liberals under Gen. Moncada had ad-
vanced to within three miles of Teu-
stepe, less than 40 miles from
Managua.
Most of Managua's telephone serv-
ice was cut off yesterday on govern
ment orders because of the proximity
OF the Liberals to Teustepe and the
fear that they may tap the wires and
overhear important conversations.

Another project of vital economic
Importance which was reported upon
yesterday was an international study
of the dynamics of ocean currents,
carried on by tracing the course of
bottels thrown into the water in linn
tied areas. This study is resulting in
the ability to predict from year to year
where the best fishing grounds will
be found and the course of icebergs.
DR.. A. G. Huntsman Of the Biological
Board Of Canada reported yesterday
on the currents traced in this way off
the Nova Scotian and Newfoundland
coasts; DR.. H. B. Bigelow Of Harvard
University, on the currents in the
Gulf of Maine, and G. o. Iselin on a
study Of the northern part Of the

DIR. Willoughby believes to be most
urgently needed in the present system
of voting money is thorough revis-
ion Of appropriation heads. Never, he
SAYS. has the attempt been made to
work out a systematic scheme or
items that shall appear in the appro-
priations acts The present system
of itemization has grown up abso-
lutely haphaZard.
This problem has been considered
by those in closest touch with the eX.
listing conditions, and it is believed
that the important work Of reform
will be undertaken by Chairman Mad
den of the House appropriations COM
mittee in cooperation with the bud
get director and the controller general.
Legislation in Appropriation Acts.
In spite of the new rules which
make subject to a point OF order any
attempt to incorporate new leglsia-
ton in an appropriation bill, the ap-
preparation acts are still loaded down
with a great mass of permanent legls-
lation. the purpose of which is to pre-
scribe the manner in which appro-
priations shall be expended or to i'm
nose limitations. DIR. Willoughby con-
tends that great improvement and an
important saving would be accom-
nlished if the appropriation acts We're
carefully studied for the purpose or
eliminating from them all provisions
in the form of instructions and I1mlta'
tions that are of a permanent charac-
ter and embodying them in a special
act to be enacted once and for all.
One of the most difficult problems
confronting Congress in voting funds
for support of the Government is de-
termination of the extent to which
appropriations shall be itemized. DIR.
Willoughby suggests the making OF
appropriations in reasonable detail
and then authorizing transfers be-
tween appropriations under condl-
tions that will safeguard any abuse of
this power.
Limitation Of General Debate.
A serious defect in the appropria-
tions system is that speakers need
not confine themselves to the subject
matter Of the bill, but may indulge in
general debate" discussing any sub
ject under the sun, totally irrelevant
to the appropriations recommended or
even the department. Valid arguments
can be brought forward in favor OF
giving to members of Congress an op-
portunity to discuss matters Of public
policy, even though such discussion
does not have for it's purpose the per.
lection Of any particular legislative
measure.
It is extremely unfortunate, how
ever, DIR. Willoughby emphasizes, that
this privilege should be granted in
connection with the consideration of
appropriation bills. If general debate
on +baco hills n al f0 ba confined to the
subject matter of the bills, there would
result a general review and considera-
ton of the administrative and financial
program of the Government that
would be far superior to that which
now takes place. DR.. Willoughby be-
lieves it would not be difficult to Sc
cure an amendment to the rules of the
House that would correct this defect
in procedure.

The Michigan University team Of
six-footers that won the confer
ence toga by a one-game margin
last year bids fair to be right up
there when the 1929 struggle
ends The wolverines, a powerful
scoring machine, have the same
offensive trio that lead them to
victory last year.
There is Benny Oosterbaan, Har-
rigan and Mccoy, a passing COM
bination that set the pace in Big
Ten circles last year. The Ooster-
baan of gridiron fame is equally
noted on the hardwood for his
deadly shooting at close range.
Harrigan is one of the conferences
best floor men and his ability to
feed the ball to Benny is always
decided pain 10 the Wolverine
opponents.
Purdue looms next to the VOL
verines, or on a par, as the strong
est title contenders. Purdue tied
with Indiana last year for second
place, just one contest bchind
Michigan. Both Purdue and Indiana
defeated the Wolverines, the only
games dropped by the champions.
Purdue Has Eight Vets.
Purdue has eight veterans on the
floor this year, including five
lettermen. Outstanding is Wilbur
Cummings, who at center was high
scorer in the conference last sea-
son. Captain Babe Wheeled, and
Wilson, forwards, and Kemmer
and Wilcox, guards. are other
Boi1ermaker ball tossers who per-
formed freely last year as regulars.
Promising material is also to be
had from among the sophomoreS,
recruits from star Indiana high
school teams, which by the way,
means lot in Indiana.
