President Coolidge's signature was
all that was needed today to write

Confident Coolidge VIII Sign
Sponsors of the measure were
confident that Mr.. Coolidge would
sign the bill. The President. as
well as President-elect Hoover. had
urged the building of the dam. al.
though the former in his last mes
sage opposed any action to make
1t a straight GoVernment.operati
project.
The possible objections of the
President, hackers believed, had been
met by giving the Interior Depart

disposing of hydro.electric power.
Meantime. opponents contended
that IL the bill becomes a law a court
battle will ensue. Under the measure.

RECOVERY
MAY NEED .
SEVERAL
Weeks
BY HARRY r. FLoRY

LONDON, Dec. 19 (I.N.Ss).
Another favorable bulletin on
the condition Of King George
was issued by the royal physi-
clans at loo a. m. today
The bulletin stated the King had
had 4 restful night and that his
condition continued slightly i'm
proved.
The text Of the bulletin was as
follows:
aThe King has had restful
NIGHT. The slight Improvement
noted yesterday continues.
It was signed by Sir Stanley
Hewett, Sir Hugh Rigby and Lord
Dawson, OF Penn.
People Relieved
The optimistic tone of the bulletin
served te strengthen further the
feeling throughout England that
His Majesty had passed the worst
part of his illness and vas now
definitely on the road to recovery.
The Kings condition Is admittedly
still serious. however, Palace Off
cials were emphatic in pointing out
that fact while decrying the ten
dency to misinterpret as bad news
all bulletins which did not tell OF
continued Improvement.
1t now appears that His Majesty,s 5
recovery depends almost wholly
upon his ability to maintain his
strength. To this end ray treat
ments were again administered
early last night.
Recovery Slow
Those close to palace circles are
inclined to believe that His Majesty's
recovery will now continue slowly
but evenly. They warn, however.
that fluctuations must be expected
any time and caution against either
extreme optimism Of alarm.
They urge that the public Judge
the extent OF the Kings progress
by the bulletins taken as a whole,
and not in the light Of any particu-
lar bulletin.
Al further optimistic note was
struck today when it was announced
that several palace officials had
left London to spend Christmas on
the Kings estate at Sandringham.
