PARLEY
President Suggests 80 Ways
of Saving as House Group
Meets to Talk Economy

Two drastic economy pro-
grams were placed side by side
today when President Hoover
met the special economy com
mittee of the House in a con-
ference at the White House.
The President planned to
lay a far-reaching plan, in
volving changes in present
laws, to effect radical savings
in expenditures of the Gov
ernment next year.
The House committee, con-
trolled by Democrats. are not to
be outdone. Representative Nc.
Duffie CD of Alabama, chair.
man of the economy committee,
announced that SIS to so specific
methods of saving 5000, 100000 a
year were to be laid before MI
Hoover.
Clashes In Prospect
Although the President and the
Democratic leadership of the
House were nearer an agreement
on ways to effect economy than
at any time this session, clashes
were certain to develop.
PTNIn4 t. Il
termined to cut salaries of
Government workers to save at
least $50.000,000 a year and to
unite the Army and Navy in a
single department of national
defense.
President Hoover has peen re-
presented as opposing both pro-
poSals. and the War and Navy
departments are bitterly fighting
the consolidation plan.
ROOp, Mills Consulted
Having made economy his chief
business in the past few days,
President Hoover worked until
the time of the conference with
Director of the Budget Roop, Sec
retary of the Treasury Mills, and
other officials.
The Presidents program was
understood to include at least IS
specific suggestions, touching
every department of the Govern
ment. Sharp curtailment of vir-
tually all activities of the Gov
ernment next year was preSaged
in the White House plan.
Chairman McDuffie said the
economy committee, composed
of four Democrats and three Re
publicans, went to the White
House with the expectation of
eliminating all politics from such
a vital question as that of eco
nomy in governmental expendi-
lures"
Four Bills Reported
AS a prelude to the meeting,
the economy committee reported
four bills designed to save $6,000,-
900 a year.
They included slash in
Government printing costs and
minor consultations. These, Nc
Duffie said, were only a small
part of the program of the com
mittee.
While the White House confer
ence was being held, the House
was completing work on the bill
lion-dollar independent offices ap
preparation bill. It had saved
approximately $650,O0O by slashes
during two days of consideration.

Treasury Asks Banks to Watch
For Numbered Bills in
Sum of $4,000

Treasury officials were ex-
tremely reluctant today to dis

country giving the serial num-
bers of certain notes of $5,
$40 and 500 denominations
with the request that as soon
as any of these notes appear,
the banks notify Treasurer W.
O. Wood Immediately.

lished by a Newark newspa-
per, which gave the explana-
tion that Colonel Lindbergh
had paid out $4,000 for the

not received the youngster.

ing from the Department. 1t is
true, of course, that lists of num-

quently, as a means of checking
on stolen funds or for other rea-
sons. 1t was said, however, that
there could be no statement with
regard to this particular list.
Total $4,000
The bills are said to total ap-
proximately $4,000, and the un-
official supposition is that in
vestigators of the Lindbergh kid
naping have taken this means of
seeking nationwide assistance in
running down the perpetrators of
the crime.
MIR. Wood today flatly refused
to discuss the matter. Other
Treasury officials denied knowl-
edge of the list or said that no
statement could be made by the
Treasury assuming such list had
been sent out.
1t is understood that the $5
notes for which lookout is asked
are United States notes, that the
$40 bills are gold certificates, and
that the $40 bills are gold certifi-

BY United Press

WASHINGTON, Oct. s. The
Lytton commissions report on the
Sino-Japanese situation is admit
tedly a bulky document. Yet the
state department and embassy here
have had three days to digest the
significance Of its 100000 words.
They still refrain from commenting
on it and their excuse is that they
haven't been abb to read all the
report.
The Lytton report was opened
at the state department at 7 g. m.
Sunday. A corps of expert steno-
graphers was ready to copy it, des-
pite the early hour. BY 4 p. m. more
than 100 Monograph copies were
completed. The rapidity and &C
curacy with which the job was
done has been commended by de-
partmental heads. Only few mis-
takes were made, such as "compar-
ability" for compatibility.
The Republican campaign text
book is the best buy for the money
at least in point of volume. 1t con-
tains 286 pages of reading matter.
The Democratic textbook, just out,
is almost one third it's size-only
103 pages. Both sell for 25 cents.
The Republican textbook arrang-
es nearly side by side the party

platform and that of the Demo-
Gratis. There is considerable waste
of paper however because the Dem
ocratic platform is approximately
one-fourth the length of the Re-
publican. In the Democratic text
book the party platform is set in
small type, and followed by large
type summary of the Republican
one. The summary is only a few
hundred words long.
Rep. Stafford, Repn., Wis, who
was defeated in the recent pri-
mary, is an expert on parliament
airy procedure. If the house be-
came tied up in a parliamentary
tangle, it could rely on him to come
rushing down the middle aisle,
shouting "NIr. Speaker" and thumb
ing through some bulky volume
from which he would finally cite a
precedent for action. He won more
often than he lost.

of mischief Bub could get into, for
the rainbow boy was very good

And, though Bulbs mother said
he could only go to the hollow
stump bungalow once a day, the
way he managed it was to go early
in the morning and stay until late
at night when Uncle Wiggily
