to the Prince of Wales and the Duke
of York, and they hurriedly backed
their horses out of range of the flying
hoofs.
The occasion was the trooping Of the

and after 20 minutes succeeded in

At Croydon Airdome, near London, a

HOOVER STUDYING
RELIEF AT RAP|DAN
Reconstruction Finance Firm.
Heads Present For
Analysis.
BY the Associated Press.

LURAY, Va, June 4-His mind free
of tax bill worries for the moment,
President Hoover at his mountain camp
today gave another pressing problem
relief-a thorough survey.
Present for an analysis of the subject
we're the men who direct the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation. The
President has recommended that it be
given a billion and a half dollars more
to be used, if necessary, to aid in the
upward economic climb.
This and making available approx
mately s3OOOOO,OOo for help to States,
municipalities and counties which have
about reached the limit of their re-
sources also figured prominently in the
deliberations which President Hoover
had with President Dawes of the cor
poration, Eugene Meyer, chairman OF
its board, and its directors.
Immediate Action Needed.
The situation in Illinois and some
other States is known to require action
to give additional funds for the needy
as quickly as possible. In addition, the
general and governmental economic and
financial situations naturally inquired
in the conferences.
Undersecretary of the Treasury Bal
lantine was present, as was Secretary
of War Hurley. Paul Bestor, Farm
Loan Board commissioner. was guest,
as was Henry M. Robinson, California
banker whose financial judgment is
highly respected by the Chief Executive;
The War Department has charge ol
rivers and harbors and flood-control
work. Any substantial increase OF tna'
present program is firmly opposed by
the administration, as Is oono Issue
for public works in general.
One of the subjects talked over IN
the cool mountain air was prospect o.
breaking the broad relief program into
separate bills. One would include re
lief to the States, another would give
the Finance Corporation the addltlona
billion and half.
This would leave the bond issue pro-
posal separate and would enable the
administration opposition to be concen'
trated on them.
Fishes in Rapidan.
Not all the day, however, was giver
to business. Mr. Hoover, tired from
strenuous week, fished in the Rapidar
and rested.
Mrs. Hoover chatted with womer
guests, including Mrs. Dawes, Mrs
Meyer, Mrs. Bestor and Mrs. Ballantine
The President spent most OF thu
afternoon and the evening in confer
ence after devoting the morning to re-
taxation.

| helping business and the unemploy
ment has already been outlined, bu
| specific steps TO be taken and definite
campaign to accomplish them are ex
