GRAND RAPIDS

Grand Rapids, Mich - (U. P.)- Grand Rapids has taken advantage of Michigan's reputation for swlIt justice to mako its streets safe TOT pedestrians.

 The city led the nation during the period beginning February |, 1881, in the war against traInc deaths waged by the National sa1e- ty Council.
 Traffic is controlled here by Municipal Traffic Commission, which has revealed the physicai conditions of streets in its hgnt 10 prevent accidents.
 The council conducted contin- uous educational program Tn homes, on the streets. and in in- dustrial institutions. All city agen- cies co-operated in the progra m.

DEPUTIES SEATS
 BIG PROBLEM

Berlin GU. P.) - Where the 90 additional deputies in the new Reichstag are going to sit is q problem which is worrying the building superintendent.
 The last Reichstag elections, in 1880, brought 95 new deputies, the placing of whom strained the seating arrangements on the floor almost to capacity. Now 30 more must be crammed somewhere into the chamber, making 607 in all, number which scarcely was reck- oned with when the building was opened to 397 deputies, nearly 40 years ago.
 Whatever arrangement finally is made for additional seats. the last vestige of comfort which the deputies had is bound to disap- pear, and the rooms similarity to an oversized lecture chamber will be increased. The classroom ap- pearance will disappear almost entriley with the removal of four of the first five rows of desks. which will be replaced by plain backed seats. The present capacity of the room was achieved in 1880 by removing all but these first rows of desks and by abolishing the lea a,her benches along the rear and side walls, on which deputies used to catch a few winks of sleep on dull afternoons.
 Now, only the first row of desks will be left for the party floor leaders and their assistants, and the other deputies will have to an- swer their personal correspond ence and outline their speeches besides in the cham Der.

Republican leaders. preferring not to
tangle the measure in another parlia-

the measure go to the White House
without any particular campaigning
against Senate passage.
So certain were some of Mr.. Hoover S

bill they expected, would include $780,

and $132000,000 for highway conStruc-

There was no unanimous agreement
as yet, however on these or on the big

The provision adding $500, 600 to
the Reconstruction Corporation besides
the $500, 100000 for state loans. Many
Republicans and Democrats expected,
too, to discard the S190000,000 the
present measure would include for pub

HOOVER'S RELIEF
STAND ASSAILED
Walsh Says President In
sisted on Provision He Now
Says He viii Veto.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 8.-Senator Walsh,
Montana, Democrat, last night charged
President Hoover was the original
sponsor of the provision in the Garner
Wagner relief bill, passed yesterday by
the House which authorizes direct loans
from the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration to private companies and in
dividuals.
The Senator, en- route to his Montana
home, expressed establishment that the
President had indicated his intention
to veto the relief measure because of
the private loan provision.
I am astomded by reports In the
press that the President proposes to
veto the relief bill because it proposes
loans to private corporations and their
enterprises" the Senator said.
Refers to Bills History.
when the relief bill. which passed
the Senate, was in the course of
preparation, the matter of providing for
such loans was given consideration and
was rejected by common consent of all
those consulted
1T was given consideration because
of an understanding that at a confer
ence with Republican Senators the
President had proposed such loans. The
policy was protested by some of those
present including Senator Couzens of
Michigan
Later exchanges were had between
the President, or some Of the appoint
tees representing him. and Democratic
Senator concerning the bill. 1t was my
very distinct understanding as mem
Der Of the committee, that the Presi-
dent continued his insistence on the
provision providing for loans in aid of
private enterprise.
Private Leans Excluded.
Sponsors of the bill. and Senators as
we'll refused to yield in that respect
Pro, ision was made however. for loans
to self-iquidating enterprises of States
and municipalities. Loans to private
individuals and corporations were ex-
Guided
such a provision was, however, car
ried in the House bill and, the con-
ferees of that body insisting. the Sen
ate conferees. desperate to secure pas
sage of some bill. yielded,
Nov, apparently, the President OBJ
iects to the conference bill because of
its inclusion Of a provision of which he
was, at the outset, the protagonist."
