"There are those who honestly
favor the retention Of the law as 1t
now stands, believing it has accom-
plished good, and may accomplish
more and better results. Others, not
less devoted to the high purpose
which prompted the passage Of this

The committee hesitates to recon-

that issues involved are "highly con-

Hoover Requests Nation Not to
High-Prsssure Congress for
= appropriations 2

washington, Sept. 26.-R-Faced
with . two.horned problem Of de-
cliping federal receipts and mount
ing expenditures, President Hoover
pushed an attack Saturday against
group demands upon congress for
new appropriations.
At least until "the country Is In
better condition" the president said
voluntary associations: business and
the general ciMzenry should realize
a need mot to increase but to de-
crease the expenditures Of the federal
government"
However, his call for a halt In what
was termed the annual massing up
of pressures in behalf of self-inter-
ested sectional projects gave no final
answer as to the administrators
course toward taxation.
Congress Seeks Cure
It fell almost in the midst oi
diverging proposals by members o1
congress for curing the nations fis-
cal ailments. Some continued their
advocacy Of new federal borrowing
to meet the deficit. A rapidly
mounting number called for addi.
tional taxation, whether upon in.
comes. high and low. general sales
or luxuries.
The administrators answer is due
within q month or six weeks.
As an example Of what he meant
by taking the pending pressure of
the coming congress, President Hoov.
er cited and praised the action o.
the American Legion In voting
against demands for new bonus leg.
islation.
Hoover said the Legion had "se1
an example to other voluntary bodies
in the country in its determination
to make no requests Of the next con-
gress."
AS q further instance. he told o.
271 bills introduced in the last con-
gresstall of them rejected.
Meant Huge Sum
Had all Of them been passed, ht
said. additional appropriations o1
$6, 100, 600, 900 would have been callet
for during the current fiscal yea
and nearly $1,000. 0.000, 900 during tht
next 10 years.
These demands. the president ex
planned, came mostly from voluntar!
associations, group interests, sec
tional interests and business.
I'VE are all familiar" he said
with the energies they show. boti
In direct pressures upon congress ant
the administration, and the propa
ganda which they carry on In tn
country to induce citizens to exer
their individual influence In tn
massing up Of pressures.
'This is a time when they shouls
emulate the American Legion II
standing with what is the wish o
the administration and the grea
majority of congressman and sena
tors-that Is, not to increase but Il
decrease the expenditures Of the fed
eral government"
Briefly the situation being attack
ed by the president is this: Receipt
for the current year are $24l 900 y00
less than at the same time last year
Expenditures are 1000 900 greater
The deficit last year approached tn
billion dollar mark.

New York City Crowds
Honor Record
Breakers

NEW YORK, July l.-tP-New
York, and the millions who are a
part Of It, gave two tired men today
the spectacular sort OF welcome
which is reserved for spectacular
guests.
Wiley Post and Harold Gatty,
back IN the city after girdling the
globe IN less than nine days, found
New York at its noisiest and at the
peak Of its enthusiasm. Perched on
the cushions OF an automobile they
made a circuit OF the city which
was only slightly less exciting than
the flight itself.
There were crowds all along the
route-how many hundreds OF thou
sands no one dared estimate. There
was the usual cheering. the usual
sirens, the usual quantities OF ticker
tape and torn newspapers tossed
from the windows OF fhn financial
district.
Ii required ~ motorcycle patrol
men, with sirens blowing their
loudest. to clear a lane across town
TO north river, where the party
bearded the city tug Macon for the
trip to the battery.
Escorted by two police launches
and the fireboat James Duane, the
Macon vas greeted with blasts
from the whistles OF passing tug
boats as IL swung into midstream.
The fire department band was on
hand TO lead the parade up Broad
way and a detachment OF the 18th
infantry and another Of sailors and
marines from the navy yard were
present to represent their service In
the greeting.
The party arrived az city hall by
way Of lower Broadway. where a
heavy downpour of ticker tape
slowed their progress. Crowds jam
med into the park IN front OF city
hall threatened to become unman-
ageable when Post and Gatty APP
peared. TWO hundred cheering ao-
mlrers broke away from police ana
started for the main doors OF city
hall. Patrolmen got them back into
bounds without using violence.
Mayor Walker welcomed the men
IN the flag draped aldermanic
chamber while military and police
escorts stood at attention in the
plaza below.
He greeted them:
when you left Roosevelt field.
your ship was known as the Winnie
Mae. When you got over Russia !
think It was decided that the name
had ecome Winnie Must. And
when you landed back az Roosevelt
field last night we knew that the
name was Winnie did.
More seriously he added:
You've written anothr- Nne. yes
another page, into history and
science"
Mayor Walker pinned medals on
the fiiers while The Star Spangled
Banner was PLAYED.
Outside the city hall the party
posed for photographs md pro-
ceeded triumphantly to Tire Ritz
Carlton where the mayors lunch
con was held in honor Of the fiiers
and their wives.
