HOOVER TO LEAVE
ON YORKTOWN TRIP
President Will Board u. S. S,
Arkansas at Annapolis
for Journey.

President Hoover will leave Wash
ington late this afternoon for An
napolis, Md, where he will board the
battleship Arkansas for a brief cruise
over the week end, which will carry him
probably as far as the Virginia capes,
before going to Yorktown, Va, where
on Monday morning he will make the
principal address at the Sesquicenten-
NAL celebration of the surrender of
Lord CORVALLIS.
Although the exact time for the
Presidents departure from the White
House had not been decided upon DUR
ing the forenoon today, it was said def
nitely that he would not be able to get
away before 3 O'Clock. Considering the
mass of work on his desk requiring his
last-minute attention. it is thought
more likely it would be after o'clock
before the President was on his way.
Watches Geneva Developments.
The President was at his desk by
$3.50 o'clock and lost no time disposing
of the business before him. One of the
major matters attracting his attention
today is the reports being received from
Geneva, where for the first time a rep
resentative of this Government is sit
ting in on the session of the League
of Nations Council. The President also
was anxious today to receive all posi-
BILE information regarding the over
night developments on the Sino-Jap-

President Demands That Bu-
reau Heads Revise Esti-
mates Sharply.
ASKS PUBLIC OPINION
SUPPORT FOR PROGRAM
Reduction of Expenditures to Linn
its of Revenues Is Only Sound
Policy, HIS Declares.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Hoover plans to lay before
Congress a 1888 budget stripped OF
every cent consonant with the obliga-
tons Of the Government"
In an effort to bring expenditures
and revenues into closer relationship he
has demanded that every principal Gov
eminent officer revise downward esti-
mates for the next fiscal year Meri-
torious and unmeritorious projects alike
are to be shelved.
He has also asked the aid of public
opinion in support OF drastic econo-
mics"
"Cut Only Sound Policy"
Standing yesterday before a group Of
newspaper men gathered for his regu-
lar press conference. Mr.. Hoover said ::
In times when the income of the
people is reduced and when taxes or
loans may stif1e economic recovery there
is only one course OF sound fiscal policy.
and that is to reduce the expenditures
of the Government to the last cent
consonant with the obligations Of the
Government"
Before him, the President had the
statement of the Treasury showing a
deficit for the first three months of the
present fiscal year since July totallng
$500, 106,600. This is approximately
$685. 100000 more than it was for the
same period of last year, when the IL
months deficiency amounted TO nearly
billion dollars.
Departing from his prepared state
ment, the President injected a belief
that improved conditions were in the
oftlng. He said it was difficult to es-
innate now for expenditures TO be made
after next July !, when better times
could be expected.
Passes Over Navy Slash.
Many had believed Mr.. Hoover would
much discussed slash in the Navy's
budget estimate. But he gave it only
passing attention, as he said similar
cuts were being studied in every gov
ernmental department. No conclusions
are to be reached finally until the
budget goes to Congress.
Two great difficulties, he held, balk
his program of reduced expenditures.
We must meet interest payments on
the statutory redemption of the public
debt" he said. We must pay allow
anceS and pensions to veterans and
pensions to civil servants, etc. Thus
over two billion of the Federal budget
is in fixed obligations. and such re-
auctions as We can bring about must
need be concentrated on less than half
Of the budget"

as the necessity for the Government

Although the United states is whole

threatening Sino-Japanese relations
this Government will remain aloof from
any obligations under the League Cove
nant. Gilbert is not authorized to COM

Secretary of State Stimson believes
invocation py the League OF the anti

such action would combine the treaty
with the Leagues machinery for main
tanning peace.
The United States will remain apart
from any possible discussions OF the
Council seeking to apply the League OF
Nations sanctions. These include boy

tary pressure against nations breaking
the pledge to avoid war.

Such sanctions, defined in Article
of the covenant, form the basis OF the
Senate's past rejection Of American
membership in the League.
First reports from Gilbert to the

HEART WEAKENING,
EDISON NEAR END
Physician, Who Remains
With Patient All Night, Says
Pulse Is Poor.
~ the Associated Press.

b. the Associated Press.
WEST ORANGE. N. j.. October IT,
The strong heart of Thomas A. Edison
was weakening today, as indicated by a
pulse which his doctor described as
poor"
DR. Hubert S. Howe, who for the first
time remained all night with his pa
tient, issued his first bulletin at $50
am. today, an hour earlier than had
been his custom.
DR.. Howe's noon bulletin read:
There is very little change in Mr..
Edisons condition during the past three
hours"
Pulse Reported Poor.
"Mr. Edison has remained all night, y
the first bulletin read, lin condition
which has all the appearance of nor
NAL sleep. He is breathing quietly and
easily. His pulse, however, is poor"
DR.. Howe indicated this morning
that he would stay throughout the day
at the Edison home. Previously he
made two calls a day. one in the morn
ing and one in the evening.
The reference in his first bulletin to-
day to Edison's pulse being poor was
considered of significance because 1t Is
the inventors strong heart which has
sustained him SO long despite the pol
son which his weakened system has
been unable to eliminate.
Will Remain at Home.
At IL o'clock this morning Dr. Howe
told reporters that he had definitely
decided to remain at the Edison home
day and night from now on.
II consider Mr. Edison is now gravely
ILL.," he said. This is the first time
I have felt definitely that the end is
approaching. Mr.. Edison has gone
another "a hours without nouriShment
and his heart is gradually growing
weaker"
DR.. Howe said that further bulletins
would be issued at noon, 3 o'clock, 6
o'clock and 10 o'clock tonight.
All the members of Edison's imme-
date family were at the home today or
within easy call in case Of any emer-
gency. Although DR.. Howe spoke in
his bulletin Of Edison'S apparently nor
NAL sleep, he made 1t clear in speaking
with reporters that this condition was
in reality only a continuation of the
coma from which the inventor Is ex-
pected to slip quietly into death.
Members Of the family were at the
bedside last night. They were Mr.. Edi-
sons oldest child, Mrs. Marion Ozer
of Norwalk, Conn: Thomas A., jr., of
East Orange: William of Wilmington,
Del, and Charles. Mrs. John Eyre
Sloane and Theodore, all OF West

The State Department has called to
the attention of the Mexican govern
ment the fact that the radio broad
casting license Of John r. Brinkley of
Milford. Kans, has been revoked in this
country. Brinkley is understood to be

Brinkley visited the State Department

Undersecretary Castle said this Gov
