HOOVER TO LIMIT
PUBLIC ADDRESSES
Plans to Make Three or Four
a Year-DecIines Two
Invitations.
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
President Hoover plans to limit his
public speaking engagements to three
or four a year, and already has de-
clined two invitations, from the Ameri-
can Red Cross and the Daughters OF
the American Revolution, which his
predecessors have accepted annually al
most as a matter of course.
He has taken the position that a
Presidents public addresses should be
messages of considerable Importance to
the people Unless they can be so con-
sidered, he feels. they should not be
allowed to consume time which might
be more valuable If devoted to the con-
duct Of the executive office.
Call for Careful Preparation.
While public addresses do not con-
sumo much time in actual delivery, nor
interfere seriously with the executive
function by necesSitating occasional
trips away from the Capital, the sort OF
messages he believes the circumstances
require call for more careful and de-
tailed preparation than he can see MS
way clear to undertake at frequent in
tervals.
Thus far he has accepted only two
of a large number of speaking invita-
lions received, one to address the AS
ISOLATED Press dinner at New York In
April and the other to take part in
the Memorial day exercises at Arlington
National Cemetery in May. He mas
consented also to consider invitations
from the American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton and the Polish Army Veterans
Association of America to speak In the
Fall at Chicago and Savannah, Ga,
respectively.
Patronage Up Tonight.
The decision to limit his speaking
engagements is not new idea with
the President. He tried to adopt the
same policy at the beginning Of the
presidential campaign last year, but
was induced to expand his program OF
four addresses as the contest proceed
ed The President tonight will turn his
attention to the difficult Federal pat
ronage situation in New York State.
This problem will be taken up at a
dinner to which he has invited the
members of his New York patronage
committee and Representatives Smell
and Parker, who have been selected by
their Republican colleagues In the New
York congressional delegation to act for
them in patronage matters.
The Republicans In the House have
made known their unwillingness to fol-
low the committee, which includes
Charles D. Hilles, national committee
man; H. Edmund Machold State chair
man, and William H. Hill, leader of an
independent Hoover organization in the
campaign, and the dinner tonight is
expected to clarity the problem.

ROOSEVELT URGES
POWER Project
State Development of Re-
sources on st. Lawrence
Proposed to Legislature.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y, March 12.-Develop-
ment of the hydro-electric resources of
the st. Lawrence River by the State
through a board of trustees and dis
tribution of power by private corpor-
alton was proposed to the Legislature
today by Gov. Roosevelt.
The governor, appearing before a
joint session to read his message, rec
commended a board Of five members,
composed of men in whom there is
great public confidence, such as former
Gov. Charles Evans Hughes and former
Gov Alfred e. Smith
Outlining his plan, he said:
Il propose that the trustees should
bring in complete plan for the deVel-
opment Of the States water-power re-
sources on the st. Lawrence, and that
this plan should conform to definite
statement of two basic principles, which
1 believe to be the policy desired by
great ma jority of our citizens.
These two basic principles are:
1.-THE natural water power sites OF the
st. Lawrence now owned by the people
of the State or hereafter to be recovered
shall remain forever inalienable TO the
people, and any dams or plants neces-
sary to generate power shall be oulit,
financed. owned, operated and occupied
by the trustees as the duly constituted
fundamentally of the State.
Power developed therefrom shall be
transmitted and distributed, II possible,
through employment of private capital,
so as to secure adequate distribution
throughout the state. This distribu--
ton, however, shall secure the lowest
rates to consumers compatible with a
fair and reasonable return on actual
cash investment"

Three Officers Complete
Training Here Ahead of
Schedule.

Three Mexican Army pilots who have
been training at the naval air station
in preparation for active flying service
in Mexico completed their course today,
far ahead of schedule. Their plans are
uncertain. however, as the Mexican
government is awaiting delivery of six
new fighting planes now under con-
Struction in New York.
Three pilots. Col. Samuel c. Rojas,
Lieut.. Raul AZcarate and Lieut.. Rodolfo
Torres, made their first training fight
at Anacostia Friday afternoon, follow
ing preliminary ground course at the
New York factory where their planes
are under construction. They took their
training in Navy Vought Corsair planes,
which are similar to those being manu-
featured for their home government.
Six additional Mexican Army pilots
are to receive training at the local sta
ton. Owing to the revolution now in
progress in Mexico, however, their plans
are subject to change and it is not
known definitely when they will come
here.

"that the President will give some con-
sideration to the views of so-called
Hoover Democrats in making his ap-
pointments to Office in the States of the
South. There are lot of good people
among the Hoover Democrats in those
States.
However If the plan of placing these
appointments under civil service is car
ried out. the best qualified persons will
obtain the Offices, and 1 do not doubt
that lot Of them would be Hoover
Democrats"
Senator Brookhart plans to call his
committee together soon to go over
some of the evidence which has already
been taken and to plan for further in
quiry. He hopes to be able to submit at
least preliminary report to the full
committee, of which Senator Moses of
New Hampshire is chairman. when the
Senate meets i'll April for the special
session of Congress.
II the ideas advanced by Senator
have far-reaching effect on the Repub-
lican organization in number of the
States, where, Senator Brookhart has
insisted, their chief cause of existence
was the dispensing OF Federal patronage.
