Budget Will Show $3.50, 900, 900 Slash
In Appropriations, Executive Declares

I shall in due course present
the Executive Budget to the Con-
greSs. It will show proposed re-
ductions in appropriations below
those enacted by the last session
of the Congress by over $3.50, ,000.-
900. In addition I shall present
the necessary Executive orders
under the recent act authorizing
the reorganization of the Federal
Government which, if permitted
to go into force, will produce still
further substantial economies.
These sums in reduction of ap-
preparations will, however, be
partially offset by an increase CT
about $25O,0OO,000 in uncontroll-
able items such as increased debt
services, etc.
In the Budget there is included
only the completion of the Fed
eral public works projects already
undertaken or under contract.

APPROPRIATIONS SEEN AS
AID TOU.S. RECOVERY
Following is the tert of President Hoovers message
to Congress today:

To the Senate and House of
Representatives:
In accord with my constitution
al duty, I transmit herewith to
the Congress information upon
the state of the Union together
with recommendation of measures
3or its consideration.
Our country Is at peace. Our
national defense has been main
tained at a high state of effec-
tiveneSS. All of the executive de-
partments of the Government
have been conducted during the
year with a high devotion to pub
Tic interest. There has been a
far larger degree of freedom from
industrial conflict than hitherto
known. Education and science
have made further advances. The
public health is today at its high
est known level. While we have
recently engaged in the aggressive
contest Of a national election, it's
very tranquility and the accept
ance of its results furnish abun-
dant proof of the strength of our
institutions.
In the face of widespread hard
ship our people have demon
strated daily magnificent sense
Of humanity. of individual and
community responsibility for the
welfare of the less fortunate.
They have grown in their concep-
tions and organization for cooper
ative action for the common vel
fare.

as nuisance taxes, nave not been
as prolific of income as had been
hoped. Further revenue is neces-
sary in addition to the amount Of
reductions in expenditures recon-
manded.
Many of the manufacturers
excise taxes upon selected in.
dustries not only failed to pro
duce satisfactory revenue, but
they are in many ways unjust
and discriminatory. The time
has come when, if the Govern
ment is to have an adequate
basis of revenue to assure a bal.
anced budget. this system Of
special manufacturers excise
taxes should be extended to cover
practically all manufactures at a
uniform rate, except necessary
food and possibly some grades Of
clothing.
At the last session the Con-
gress responded to my request for
authority to reorganize the Gov.
ernment departments. The act
provides for the grouping and
consolidation of executive and ad-
miniStrative agencies according
to major purpose, and thereby
reducing the number and overlap
and duplication of effort. Ex-
ecutive orders issued for these
purposes are required to be trans
mitted to the Congress while in
session and do not become ef-
fective until after the expiration
of so calendar days after such
transmission, unless the Con-
greSs shall sooner approve. e.,
I shall issue such Executive
orders within a few days group
ing or consolidating over so ex-
ecutive and administrative agen-
cies including a large number of
commissions and independent"
agencies.

The Bidding

1nc DlQuluk
 The one over one bidding would start as follows: South one heart, North one spade.
 Although North has normal support for his partners suit, he can safely and cheaply show his spade suit as this is one bid over a one bid and requires part ner to bid again. East would pass and South would now bid three hearts. This is jump bid in his own suit t-nevertheless it is a forcing bid. North would show his normal support in hearts by responding with four hearts South would go to five hearts, and while North is lacking the tops in spades, his singleton club might justify bold bid of six hearts.
 The Play
 When MT Maschke played the hand at six hearts, West opened the jack of diamonds which MI Maschke in the South won with the king of diamonds and imme- diately led the ace of spades. A small heart was won with dunn. my's king and the nine of spades returned. East refused to cover and MT Maschke trumped with the eight of hearts. West showed out. discarding the seven of clubs.
 The ace of hearts was then played by MT Maschke and when West played the six of hearts East was marked with the jack because if West had held the Jack of hearts. he would have overtrumped the spade trick.
 Now MT Maschke knew that East held the king. eight and six of spades. The problem is to re- tain enough entries in dummy to establish the spade suit. How would you play the hand from here? There Is only one possible way to make the hand. and that is to find West with the ace of clubs as two entries are needed in dummy.
 MT Maschke now deliberately led his king of clubs which West had to win with the ace. He re- turned the ten of diamonds which was won in dummy with the ace and the queen of spades returned. East covered this with the king of spades, South trumped with the nine of hearts and then led the deuce of clubs, trumping in dummy with the ten of hearts. The jack and ten of spades were then led from dummy. South dis cardlng his two clubs.
 MT Maschke must not now make tho mistake of leading the Ave of diamonds. but must lead the five of spades. If East trumps with the jack of hearts, Mir Maschke will overtrump with the queen, and win the last trick with the queen of diamonds. while # East does not trump. no will 6is- card his good queen of diamonds.

JOHN GILBERT HEADS NEW DOUBLE FEATURE BILL AT ROII PALACE T0.nAY

JOHN GILBERT HEADS NEW
 DOUBLE FEATURE BILL AT
 POLL PALACE TO-DAY
 Downstairs" which introduces John Gilbert to his screen fans in startling new departure as a sinister but colorful villain heads the double feature bill at the Poli Palace to-day. The story of Down stairs was written by Gilbert himself. Originally he intended to direct Erich von Stroheim in it which gives some hint as to the nature of the extraordinary role in which Gilbert upsets all prece- dents and abandons his former type of heroic romancers for vile lainous characterization. Down. stairs is a tense drama laid in the servants quarters of an aristo- cratic home with Gilbert as a chauffeur, spreading a web of in- trigue that brings the entire household into the net until fam tastic revenge ends his plotting. Virginia Bruce whose engagement to Gilbert was announced during the taking of the picture. plays Paul Lukas enacts the role of the
 
 chauffeur to a terrible doom. Hedda Hopper, Reginald Owen, Olga Baclanova and Lucien Lit- tlefield are others in the story.
 Sari Maritza furnishes much of the lure in the other feature, Monte Carlo Madness" Screened at the Roxy and chosen by so many of the important theaters of the land, this talkie is said to be the outstanding work of this act ress. More than that, 1t has thread of music and a background of grandeur without for moment overtaking the imagination. Its mood is light, its tunes are pleas ant, its theme of 8 ship captain who fell in alovew ith his queen but didn't know 1t, fits in with the spirit of this vacation month. Un- doubtedly Waterbury will agree with the Broadway critics in giv- ing Q hearty praise to Monte Carlo Madness" which Together with the Gilbert feature points to weekend of fine entertainment at the Palace.
