Plans now under way for the ex-

Secretary Doak also will explain why
the unemployment plan set up in the

veto by President Hoover, met with the
latters disapproval. 1t was following
this adverse action that the machinery
was set in motion to strengthen the
Employment Bureau of the Department

panded, will, according to the expec-
tations of Mr.. Hoover. accomplish
everything and more, too, than the plan
proposed in the Wagner bill, and will
be without any of the Objectionable
features of the latter
Formerly the activities of the En-
ployment Bureau have been consider
ably restricted because of small annual
appropriations. Now that this bureau
will have more than three quarters of
a million dollars at its disposal for the
next year, the President is looking for
most productive expansion in the
work Of this bureau. One of the most
important steps to be taken in this eX-
pansion is to bring about a closer CO.
operation between the Federal Govern
ment and the various State and local
employment agencies throughout the
country. Already an intensive study of
the work being done by the States is
under way. Also a study Of the un-
employment situation in Europe is to
be undertaken. A special representa-
tive of the Labor Department is soon
to start on this European survey.
No only is Secretary Doak charged
with the responsibility OF directing the
establishment of an elaborte system
of governmental employment agencies
with State cooperation, but he is to
recommend to the President before
Congress again meets. extra legislation
deemed necessary for the proper
strengthening and balancing Of the
plan now being formulated.
Mr.. Doak Is the latest Of the Presi-
dents cabinet appointments. He was
appointed last December to succeed
James j. Davis, when the latter took
up his duties as Senator for Penn
