c. Basccm Slemp, Republican national
committeeman for Virginia, was being
SERIOUSLY considered for appointment as
Governor Of Porto Rico. It has been
confidently established that the Presi-
dent has accepted the resignation OF

President Hoover will not deliver In

tain more than 5000 words.
Two Issues Alone Involved.
The President was represented today
as having confined this message ALMOST
entirely to discussion of farm relief
legislation and revision of the tariff
the purposes for which the session was
called.
He appeared refreshed after his week
end of rest when he arrived at his desk
in the executive Offices just before
o'clock this morning for hard days
work. Despite the fact the day was one
of the two each week when he receives
the crowds OF handshakers, the Presi-
dent made a number Of business en-
gagements. Among those with whom
he conferred was Senator Bingham Of
Connecticut, chairman Of the joint con-
gressional committee investigating the
project Of municipal airport for the
Capital.
The Senator outlined to the President
last week what the joint committee had
been doing and what it proposed to do
in the matter Of solving the airport
problem. He said after seeing the
President today that by reason Of the
latter's deep interest In Washington
problem, he wanted to keep him posted.

How Hoover and Legislative
Branch win Get Along
Causes Speculation.
nv the Associated preas.

BY the Associated Press.
How President Hoover and the pre-
dominately Republican Congress swept
into Office with him will hit it OF is
one Of the foremost questions drawing
the attention Of political Washington
Because Of its restricted agenda, the
special session launched today may fail
to furnish O conclusive answer, but
even with the activities Of the legisla-
tors limited largely to farm relief and
tariff revision some interesting posi-
bilities present themselves.
Friends of the President anticipate
that he will have little difiiculty with
the House because those in the leader
ship there long have been his support
ers; because there Is far better than a
safe party majority, and because the
rules can be invoked to expedite legis-
lation.
Different in Senate.
Quite a different situation IS pre-
sented in the Senate, however, for the
Republican majority there Is largely a
paper one with a number OF unknown
Quantities entering into the equation OF
both domestic and foreign questions
with which the administration and
Congress will have to deal during the
next four years.
In the view Of most political OBJ
servers, one Of the big question marks
Is Senator Borah Of Idaho. chairman
of the foreign relations committee, even
a more outstanding figure in Congress
than heretofore, now that Charles Cur
tbs has been elevated to the vice presl-
dency. and Jim" Reed of Missouri
has retired to his Kansas City law Of
fee
The Idaho Senator was one OF the
first Of the big party leaders to throw
his support to Hoover at Kansas City;
campaigned vigorously for him through
the farm belt and generally Is credited

counsel which led Mr.. Hoover TO prom

Issues Between Them.
But Senator Borah differs with the
Chief Executive on several matters OF
foreign policy and Is Just as likely TO
differ with him on domestic issues, as
he Is an independent in legislative mat
tiers and never supports measure sim

party.

The book is heavily documented with
references and statistics, the author
presenting first his own findings, then
checking with the findings Of other In
vestigatorS, notably those OF the Ma
tiOnal Industrial Conference Board.
The author continues:
Since the time Of Washington agri-
culture has been whipSawed by high
costs and low prices. The present dis
parity between debated agriculture
and q bloated and baSeless industrial
prosperity can be represented by the
relative daily wage Of IS cents for the
farmer, $4.95 for the industrialist.

Some action must be taken that Will

Senator Brookhart of Iowa early de-

farmer ever had. The President fails
to go as far in program Of financial

SUSPENDED YOUTH
OUSTED AT SCHOOL
Ordered to Leave Central Au-

Plays in Orchestra.

Because he was suspended from Gen.
trail High School in April for making a
false statement concerning his member
ship in an unapproved student organ
ization, Joseph s. Cochran, 17-year-old
son of Steven Cochran, National Thea
ter manager, was elected from the Cen
trail High School auditorium, where he
was playing In a commercial orchestra,
without fee, in honor of the Central
graduating class.
young Cochran, drummer in the
musical organization, composed of high
school students and players of high
school age, was sighted on the stage yes
terday by Miss Helen M. Coolidge and
Lawrence q. Hoover, assistant prin-
cipals, who Immediately dispatched a
messenger who took Cochran aside to
invite him to leave the auditorium. The
young man left the building, showing
severe embarrassment.
Says Presence Inappropriate.
Miss Coolidge explained today that
the action was taken because at was
not appropriate for him to be on the
| stage" She explained that his pres
ence on the stage indicated that a per-
son either Is student of the school or
| the schools guest. The orchestra, she
added, was not invited by the school,
but when asked how 1t came to be pres
| ent at the function and assembly dur
ing the school hours, she said the stu
dent committee on ARRANGEMENTS prob
| ably invited it to play.
Although no official report had been
made to him by the Central officers
stephen z. Kramer, first assistant SUI
perintendent, in charge of high schools
said today that whether the election OF
Cochran was necessary or not it was
"a regrettable thing" On the basis OF
published reports of the incident, Mr.
Kramer said he believed the action OF
the two Central High School principals
was "unwise." However, he was insist
ent upon withholding official judgment
pending formal report from the Gen.
trail assistant principals,
Reprimand May Be Given.
Commenting upon the generalities in
volved from the election from school
building Of a suspended pupil, Mr..
Kramer declared that it Is not his in
tention or the intention Of any other
school officers Ito prosecute penalized
individual" Penalties, he explained,
are placed generally, and certainly in
the case OF the Cochran boy In defense
OF principle rather than in the pun
ishment of an individual, and the
placing OF stigma upon such a per-
son is not part Of the penalty imposed.
He indicated that If an investigation
shows the Central officers elected
Cochran for no better reasons than
those indicated in the published reports
reprimand would be Forthcoming.
Cochran, whose home address is 2949
Newark street, was suspended in April
with Joseph Neale, 18 years old, of
1924 Emerson street for making the
statements concerning their member
