EXPENDITURES
PERPLEX|NG
To HOOVER
Dilemma Is Facing Executive
In EffeCting Economies;
Postal Heads Summoned

President Hoover is experienc.
ing what night be termed tough
going" in his effort to prune Fed.
eral expenditures to conform with
the Federal income.
Despite series of lengthy con-
ferences and much scrutiny of
various depar tmental budgets.
The economies thus far envisioned
have proved extremely small in
relation to the prospective treas
600.
The present machinery Of the
Federal Government is geared to
the income Of prosperous times,
and it doesn't easily accommodate
Itself to the reduced income
brought about by the economic de-
preston.
Postal Saving Sought
Early tomorrow, the President
takes the administrative personnel
OF the Post Office Department to
Rapidan for weekend conferences
as to whether any money can be
saved next year. The postal de-
ficit this year is estimated at
around $4,000, 900, mostly at
tributable to the air mail and
ocean mail subsidies.
The domestic mail service has
already been tightened up to the
point where complaints are being
received in increasing volume
Hence it appears if there is to be
any material saving. it must be
made in the air mail or foreign
mail divisions.
The postal conference tomorrow
and Sunday is the third of the
departmental conference MIR.
Hoover has arranged since he
began his widely heralded econ
Omy survey.
Economies Dubious
The War Department was the
first. Hoover and his advisers
could find little in the Army's
program to cut.
Next came the Interior Depart
ment. Here it was found that
material saving could be accom-
plished only by curtailment of
work on the Boulder Dam project
during the next few years. This
would be virtually impossible.
The most rigid examination of
the Interior budget disclosed that
probably not more than 0,0OO,-
900 could be Topped off.

in the National Capital, through
which so many men of the
services pass, the need for this
activity is even more pressing.
To accommodate the increased
demand, the league has OBJ
tanned and renovated the ad-
joining property, so that now,
in addition to the reading
rooms and service of meals. the
dormitory capacity has been in
creased to about TO beds.
Funds Are Needed
Some of the new equipment
has been donated but the re-
manning expense of these i'm
provements demands funds
which the league is endeavor-
ing to raise at this time.
On the committee for pub
licity are Mrs. r. P. Craft,
Mrs. E. S. Kellogg, Mrs. Ray
Spear, Mrs. James H. Bodies.
Mrs. Richard r. Wallace, Mrs.

the professionals, who followed

peted in all of the major events of
the Summer, were we'll fatigued
when the Professional Golfers
Association championship closed
their fiscal year.
The Winter schedule as arranged for

tensive or lucrative as those of the past

resort in Lower California-that started

now catching up with their share of
the current business depression, al
though there still are plenty Of dollars
to be dug from the fairwayS.
Billy Burke. the 1881 national open
champion. has done an excellent job
of capitaliZing on the title he won at
Toledo. With George Won Elm, runner
up in the open championship as
partner, Burke has competed in more
than 80 exhibition matches and has
earned in excess Of IS 500. Since Won
Elm likely was paid the same amount,
the businessman golfer becomes the
leading money Garner among the pro-
fessionals for the year.
Won Elm took half Of the combined
first and second prizes In the Aqua
Caliente open; picked up stable pieces
Of change In other Pacific Coast tour
naments and took second price, plus
an additional sum for the 36-hole play
of in the national. When Won Elm
balances his books for the season he
will show a good net return for fore
swearing his amateur status
