gress should be supreme, not the
President, in designating how pub
lie money is to be spent. Even

would not dare to vary from a pro-
gram fixed in detail by Congress

A storm of debate was aroused
in the Senate by President Hoover's
statement in which he attacked
the raid on the Treasury contem-
plated by some of the so-called re-
lief bills INTRODUCED in Congress.
Although President Hoover in his
statement did not single out either

Hello, Alice!"

dent Curtis, and Mrs. Alice Roose-

Longworth-if there ever was one
had been settled, and the social
ak had been buried handle deep
under the floor of the blueroom.
