CUT Of S75O,O)O,OO
PROPOSED BY KING
Utah Senator Declares Some
Bureaus Can Be Abolished
to Make Saving.

A reduction of $750,0o0, 900 in Govern
nent expenditures for the next fiscal
year was advocated today by Senator
King. Democrat of Utah, in predicting
that the cutting down of appropriation
bills would be one of the principal tasks
of the coming short session.
A reduction in the number of Federal
employees and the abolition of some
bureaus of the Government were in
cluded by Senator King in his outline
of how the economy program should be
carried out.
Eve can take between $3.50, 900, 900
and 5000. .000, 900 from the appropria-
tionS for the Army and Navy" the Utah
Senator asserted. we can also make
reductions in the Department OF Agri-
culture and the Veterans Bureau. The
Department of Commerce, | believe, has
been extravagant and could be reduced
ct least $25,ooo,ooo.
Can Abolish Bureaus.
"There should be reductions in per-
xonnel. together with the elimination
of some of the bureaus The Farm
Board could be abolished and its duties
handled by the Agriculture Department.
Some reductions can be made in the
interior Department"
Senator King said Congress ought to
avoid increasing taxes. if possible, point
ing out that the aggregate earnings of
all the people of the country has been
greatly reduced during the past year.
He said that after the appropriation
bills have been thoroughly studied with
a view to economy in Government ex-
penses, it will be easier to tell whether
new taxes will also be necessary to
meet the situation.
The Senator said he was not sure
whether modification of the Volstead
act would come at the short session,
but that If it is presented he would vote
to authorize 275 per cent beer, pointing
out that when the Volstead act was
being drafted, he opposed the present
limit of one-half of l per cent and ad-
vocated 275 at that time. He said he
would also vote for proposal for re-
peal of the eighteenth amendment to
be submitted to the States.
Chairmanship Undecided.
Senator King. who is ranking Demo-
cratic member of the District Commit
tee. plans to confer within day or two
with Oscar H. Brinkman, counsel to
the subcommittee studying the rent
situation in washington, to acquaint
himself with the status of the inquiry.
The next meeting of the rent Subcom-
mittee has been set for November %.
Senator King reiterated his statement
of yesterday that he has not made up
his mind as to whether he would pre-
fer the chairnanShip of the District
Committee or of one of the other COM
mitteeS on which he is the ranking
Democratic member, when the Demo-
Gratis take over the Senate. These
craftsmanship problems probably will
not be settled for month or two. es-
pecially if the Republicans retain Sen
ate control until March 4, as seems
probable.

NEW YORK, November 22.--Owen
D. Young and Mayor Joseph v. Mckee
appealed last night for extension of
employment through curtailment of the
work of those now holding jobs as the
only remaining means of alternating
distress.
They we're among the speakers at a
dinner given by Alfred p Sloan, jr.,
president of General Motors. and chair
man of the Share-the-work movement
in the New York Federal Reserve dis
trict. More than 500 industrial leaders
attended
Mr.. Young and the Mayor declared
there were only three possible ways of
aiding the unemployed-public funds,
private charity and job sharing Both
emphasized that the first two sources
already were being tapped to the ut
most
Can't Increase Strain.
I'VE shall face fnsolvent governments
if We increase the strain already upon
them in providing relief" said Mr..
Young, chairman Of the board of the
General Electric Co.
Mayor Mckee, referring to the NUM-
cipality, said that I'VE can't add fur
ther to the oppressive load on the tax
payers" and that If further funds were
to be appropriated for relief they must
be found by the elimination Of in
efficiency and waste"
The relief committees are making "a
glorious record" Mayor Mckee con-
tinued, but anything further is up to
the share-the-work movement.
Jobs feed the souls Of honest men
and women" he said. Charity can
only feed their bodies. The effects of
unemployment on morale leave scars
that last far longer than the memory
of hunger"
Adopt Five-Day Week.
Mr.. Young denied that the work
sharing movement was "a deyice to
shift to the shoulders of workers the
burden OF caring for the unemployed"
and concludes with tribute Ito the
patience Of the workers everywhere who
are unemployed, to the generosity Of
workers everywhere who are employed"

OSAKA, Japan, November az
American Ambassador Joseph G. Grew
today reminded gathering of japanese
business leaders of the close connection
between peace and prosperity on one
hand and warHke activities and eco
nomic disaster on the other.
He was speaking at dinner given in
his honor by the America Japan So
ciety of Osaka, which was attended
largely by leading business men.
Nobody can appreciate better than
you business men" the Ambassador
prosperity is corollary to permanent
peace.
Organized warfare of any nature is
a heavy financial burden. In some
cases it is financially and economically
devastating. The machinery of war
fare in itself is one Of the greatest
drains on the exchequers of the world. -
The Ambassador did not specifically
mention the economic outlook of Japan
involving the prospect that the en-
pire'S 1933-34 budget will be swollen BY
the needs of the army in Manchuria,
nor that it will approximate the record
figure of 2,238, 100000 yen. with deficit
approaching 1,O00,O00000 yen. (This
deficit would be about 5000 .000,000)
The Ambassador said the peace policy
Of the United States, far from being
contrary to the real interests of Japan
lis precisely in accord with those in
terests," adding that the American peo-
pie are interested in "a financially
stable and prosperous Japan
THE American people, heart and
soul, he said, are behind world efforts
to achieve lasting peace. In this con-
nection. he mentioned the Disarmament
Conferences, the covenant of the League
of Nations, the World Court and "above
all the Kellogg BRAND pact definitely
outlawing war This peace movement
represents the fundamental, united
unanimous desire of the American peo-
pie"

ingly protested that he would not have

She made her point last night

There Is q tendency" she said,
"to be too initiative of men.
The competitive struggle with
men has been so long a part Of
woman's entrance into business
that it has taken the energy they
should have put into business.
We could eliminate the element
of wasted effort If women might
bring into business an enormous

see them try it. I should like to
see them interested in taking care

I. TO LEAVE HARVARD
President for 23 Years, He
Submits TerSeIy-Worded
Resignation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, November 22.-
Abbott Lawrence Lowell, president Of
Harvard University for % years, has
resigned.
No reason for his resignation was
given in the tersely worded announce
ment which called attention to the
fact that he will be 76 years old De-
cember 13, and that the creation of
the House Plan has fulfilled desire
of years
The House Plan. born of desire to
destroy student cliques at Harvard and
made possible through the generosity of
Edward s. Harkness of New York, who
gave $11 ,000, 900 to build the necessary
houses, is probably the greatest of DR..
Lowell legacies to Harvard.
The resignation will become effective
next Spring or near the end of the
college year, when his successor will
be selected.
$123,415,39o Endowment.
DR.. Lowell found Harvard an institu-
ton of 1882 students and an endow-
ment Of 22,7l6,759 when he took Office

try's oldest university. He will leave
it with more than 5000 students and

raphy Building, the Biological Institute,
the new Harvard Faculty Club and the
81 100000 World War Memorial Chapel
have all become part of Harvard since
1909.
DR.. Lowell was largely responsible for
raising the money for the new Harvard
Business School buildings, situated on
the opposite bank of the Charles from
the freshman dormitories.
He held the distinction of serving
longer than any other president in Har-
wards history with two exceptions, one
of them his immediate predecessor,
Charles William Eliot, who headed Har-
ward for 40 years.
Sports SubOrdinated.
He has contended that studies come
first and sports should be subordinated

ing the rule but twice, once to allow the
Harvard team to travel to the Tourna-
ment If Roses for game on New Year
day 1920 and later to allow Harvard to
play Brown at the dedication of Browns

social life at Harvard by subdividing
the college into seven smaller units or
houses.

Boston and was graduated from Har-
ward College in 1877, from Harvard
Law School in 1880 Fer IT years there
after he practiced law in Boston. He
