HOOVER FINDS RAIL
NEEDS MAGN|F|ED
Only 300 to 400 Million Set
for Carriers Relief; Pro-
gram Drafted.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Holding railroad financial problems
to have been unduly magnified in popu-
lar belief, President Hoover yesterday
reported the Government had arranged
definitely to aid the Nations carriers
meet their obligations.
In a statement he said a co-ordinated
program had been reached by the Gov
eminent and the railways, designed to
enable the purchase of new supplies,
restore employment on the carriers and
elsewhere and re-establish confidence in
railroad bonds.
The President inferred that the Re
construction Corporation, in co-opera-
ton with financial experts OF the In
terstate Commerce Commission, would
provide the Federal channels for rail-
road aid.
In this light he included in his state
ment a thumb-nail analysis Of railroad
securities. He est mated that between
$500, 900 eco and $500 100000 would be
needed to encompass their obligations
for the present year. AS much as
$50 001 900 will be provided by the
Railway Credit Corporation, he said,
while many bank loans will be con-
tinued.
Therefore, recourse to the Recon

APPROVES
4 PER CENT BEER

Senate Subcommittee Ma

BY the Associated Press.
A bill to permit per cent beer was
reported favorably by a Senate sub
committee with majority contending
1t would promote temperance and de-
crease crime" while minority held 1t
would add to enforcement difficulties. :"
The action laid the issue before the
full Manufactures Committee, which is
expected soon to decide whether to
report it to the Senate.
The measure, sponsored by Senator
Bingham, Republican, of Connecticut,
would amend the Volstead act to legal
lie the manufacture Of beer containing
not mere than per cent of alcohol by
volume. It provides for sale only by
brewers and dealers in the original
package or case, except that the beer
might be served in bottles by "legiti-
mate hotels and restaurants"
Hatfield Dissents.
A majority report favoring the bill
was signed by two of the three mem
bers Of the subcommittee which con-
Quoted extensive hearings. They were
Senators Metcaf, Republican, Of Rhode
Island, chairman, and Buckley, Demo-
GRAFT Of Ohio. Senator Hatfield Re-
publican, of West Virginia dissented.
The majority said per cent beer is
net intoxicating. and that the bill
would decrease crime and unemploy-
ment, promote temperance, assist agri-
culture, benefit the national finances
and be practical in operation.

sions. questioned the constitutionality of

House Subcommittee Report

by Chairman.
SLACKENED PRESSURE
ON BILL is PREDICTED
Economy Group Members Say
Sales Tax Disposal Will End
Anxiety for Action.

The special House subcommittee in
trusted with the task of drafting the
provisions of the bill to slash salaries
on the Government pay roll to effect q
reduction Of $4,000, 900 to 500 000, 900
expects to reach decision at It's meet
ing tomorrow morning.
Chairman Byrns Of the full Economy
Committee expects the subcommittee to
report its bill to the full committee to-
morrow afternoon when it meets at 2
o'clock. The subcommittee members
are McDufie. Alabama; Douglas, Ari-
IONA. and Wood, Indiana
On account of the furore in the
House over the sales tax provision yes
terday, the Economy Committee lost a
great deal Of time that was scheduled
to be devoted to the salary-cutting legis-
lation. Herbert D. Brown of the
United States Bureau of Efficiency was
kept cooling his heels in the outer Of
fee of the Appropriations Committee,
having been asked for more detailed
information regarding how many would
be affected and how great reduction
could be made by certain percentage
cuts on the Government pay roll.
Less Pressure Expected.
1t was predicted by prominent men,
bers of the Economy Committee that
the pressure to rush out the salary re-
duction bill would slacken after the
sales tax bill had been acted upon.
They claimed that the salary cutting
proposal was IN large measure in the
nature of club used in desperate
effort to force passage OF the sales tax.
Chairman Byrns of the Economy
Committee said there is no real need
for rushing out the salary-reduction bill
tomorrow He admitted that he favors
the plan to hurry out the legislative ap-
preparation bill, and then apply the
payroll slaShing bill as an amendment
on the legislative bill. In following
this course the independent Offices ap
preparation bill, which is still unfinished
business in the House, would be allowed
to remain in the background while the
legislative appropriation bill Is called
I'D directly after the sales tax bill is
disposed of.
Mr.. Byrns said only one more witness
Is to be called tomorrow before the sub

Garden. He pointed out that the legis-
lative bill is a small one and can be
prepared for reporting to the House in
a days time, so that 1t Is likely TO be
sent to the House on Wednesday.
Again last night Representative Byrns
emphatically declared his strong oppo-
sition to levy any percentage reduction
against salaries less than $4,000, ridi-
culed the idea of cutting 80 cents a
month from the salaries Of those who
receive 81 900 or less from the Govern
ment. He declared that fiat 10 per
