1t would provide federal
jobs for perhaps $4,000 ad-
ditional persons, and at the
same time reduce the total
pay roll about 500, 900, 900.
MI. Hoover fees that concerns
now operating full time would do
we'll to follow this example.
AS business picks up for those
now running on shorter schedules,
he believes the five-day weeks
should be persistently applied until
all unemployment is abServed.
Sees Business Advances
AS to the prospects for business
recovery, the President holds that
pessimiSm of recent weeks has been
greatly exaggerated. He believes
the time has come when definite
advances can be made if resolute
courage and confidence are main
tanned.
The most important specific fac
tor in this belief is his conviction
that the banking crisis degnitelv is
over. MI Hoover is convinced also
that the $4,000 900 veterans bonus
will be killed.
He believes the new tax bill will
be passed soon and will not serious
ly affect business
Balancing of the federal budget
is assured
These are favorable indications
which the President believes have
been overlooked
Straight Five-Day Week
Application of the five-day week
principle to the government service
was the leading point in a new
omnibus economy bill which Bud
get Director Roop, in behalf of the
White House, submitted to the spe-
clal house economy committee Fri
day night.
The plan calls for a straight five
day week for those who work by
the day. Saturday already is a half
holiday, so they would lose ffty-two
half days or twenty-six full DAYS
a year. All who work by the year
and are paid more than $1,000
would be compelled to take four
weeks vacation without pay.
The President estimates this plan
not only would effect a saving of
$50, O00,0 900 a year, but would enable
the government to take on between
10000 and $4,000 additional an
ployees. The economy committees
proposed fiat reduction in salaries
would create no new jobs.
The house committee met TODAY
to go over the Presidents economy
plan. 1t expects to lay before the
house early next week a complete
bill providing savings totaling at
least 5000, 000, 000-the amount need
ed to the $1,000, 0OO, 900 to be raised
in new taxes to balance the budget.
Program Is Submitted
The $1,000 600, 1000 government econ
omy bill, as laid before the house
economy committee, includes these
items:
l. Compulsory thirty-day, pay
less vacation for all employees re-
ceiving more than $1,000 a year: a
fve-day week for all per diem
workers.
2. Give the President authority
to reorganize the federal depart
mentS and commissions.
8. Charge for test work done for
private industry by the bureau of
standards and bureau of mines.
4. Establish a naval board to
recommend abolition Of various
shore stations.
5. Transfer cost of maintenance
of Philippine Scouts to the Philip
pine government.
6. Reduce the governments print
ing bill.
7. Eliminate federal vocational
educational appropriations.
8. Postpone construction Of new
heating plant for government build
ings in Washington.
8. Abolish army and navy trans
port service.

HONOLULU, April 16.-Clarenct
Darrow was confronted by prosecu-
ton demands for an immediate
showdown in making the slayer o.
Joe Kahahawai when he rose today
fro ma sick bed to resume defense
Of four accused Americans.
The murder trial, interrupted at 6
crucial point by the aged attorneys

conference of judge and opposing
counsel, with Darrow facing n Of
the most important battles of his
case.
John Kelley, fiery territorial
6~prosecutor who seeks life sentences
for Mrs. Granville Roland For
tescue, her navy officer S~on-in-law
Lieutenant Thomas H. Massie, and
seamen A. o. Jones and E. j
Lord, announced he will resist fur
Their defense testimony only until
the actual slayer in brought into the
open.
Aimed at MasSie
The demond was aimed chiefly al
Lieutenant Massie, whose graphic
story of a brutal attack on his wife
by a gang of island hoodlumS-one
of whom allegedly was Kahahawat
has been the only mitigating ev1-
dence.
When Lieutenant Massie is re-
called to the stand he is expected tt
relate for the first time what hap
pened last January when Kahaha'
wal was spirited away from this an
cient judiciary building and a bull
let fired into his heart, thus re-
vealing who did the shooting.
Kelley's point, however, was thai
Darrow first must name the slayer
if Lieutenant MaSSie is to be per-
mitted to bring the Ala Moana case
-as the attack on Mrs. Thalia For
tescue MasSie is known-further into
this trial.
Darrow's announcement that ar
insanity plea would be brought uI
on behalf of the actual slayer
spurred Kelley in his demands.
I'VE want to know for whom in
sanity is being pleaded" Kelley said
"If this is admitted, We presume il
automatically would disclose the
slayer"
Hundreds Disappointed

Acouittal Cheered in Court.

Yesterday at Miami q jury returned
a verdict of not guilty in the trial of a
British aviator who was accused of the
murder of another man, allegedly on
the score Of jealousy. When the ver-
dict was announced a packed court
room cheered and screamed in joyous
approval. Woman spectators wept
hysterically and men scrambled to
grasp the hand of the freed defendant.
Probably never before in this country
was such scene enacted of emotional
approval of the action of jury. What
was 1t that caused this intense outburst
Of feeling? The defendant was not
particularly we'll known save in conse-
quence Of the publicity attending his
accusation and trial. He had taken
the stand in his own defense and had
made a stirring plea for his freedom
and told an apparently convincing story
of the circumstances leading to the
death of his former friend. who, he
claimed. had taken his own life in
despair due to illness. Evidently the
public" as represented by the hun
dreds who choked the court room on
the last day of the trial, had become his
partisans, believing in his innocence.
Yet there was a strong circumstantial
case against him. 1t would seem that
his personality and his apparently frank
and complete story of the. tragedy had
won the verdict from the spectators
before the jury announced its own
finding after four and a half hours of
deliberation. Had the jurys decision
been rendered more quickly in conse-
quence of spontaneous agreement
without such protracted consideration
these two concurring verdicts would
have left no doubt whatever as to the
injustice of the charge.

campaign manager who analyses the
mood of the independent element most
adroitly will elect his candidate. The
independent vote is composed Of those
who do not know their own minds and
Of those who wish to make up their
minds for themselves.
The adroit management recommend
ed by Col. House would therefore seem
to apply to perhaps half of the deter
mining ten per cent or five per cent
of the total vote For adroit manage
ment is not to be expected to affect
those who wish to make up their minds
for themselves" And this, on the whole,
would seem to suggest that Col. House
is not risking his reputation as po-
litical prophet by forecasting Demo-
cratic success, leaving the decision to
the rather unguessable ten per cent
of the voters. Which places the col
onel in an excellent position no matter
what happens in November.

Col. Houses Political Philosophy.

Col. Edward M. House, who is credited
with a rather intimate knowledge of
the political profession. has broken a
protracted silence with an article in a
magazine entitled How to Make Either
Candidate the Next President" Those
who might be led from this title to ex-
pect a prescription will be somewhat
disappointed, for the colonel does not
offer any specific for success He re-
mains cryptic, as becomes his role of
silence SO long maintained during the
days of his more active participation in
sn advisory role in White House affairs.
He does say that there is not State
West of the Mississippi that at this
writing may not be carried by the DEM
ocrats," but he does not tell how that
can be accomplished. In careful avoid
ance Of prophecy he thus states the
general situation:
The indignation of the electorate in
bad times tends invariably against the
party in power, On the other hand, it
Is possible the pendulum, having swung
back TO the Republicans. The Repub-
licans must maintain the contention
that the shadow around the corner Is
prosperity and not the sheriff.
Then the colonel turns to line of
political philosophy; The average voter
sees in the President his own self mag
nifed; he votes for the man who is
most like himself. And he adds this
sentence, which may mean anything
the reader now scanning the polit-
ical horizon may In his heart wish
as a result Of this present contest
Most Of our Presidents have been
average men"
Getting down to statistics. Col House
contributes this succinct description Of
the national situation:
Normally the country is approx.
nnately 4S per cent Republican and AZ
per cent Democratic. Ten per cent Of
the voters iuctuste. The election Il
detxmined by the ten per cent. Int

The Zoos Building Program

An item for s250O00 In the prelimi-
nary estimates for 1884 represents the
third major addition to the Zoo that
is contemplated under the building pro-
gram undertaken by DR.. Mann. The
reptile house and the bird house have
been built, and probably stand as
models of this type of architecture
The next building will house small
mammals, rodents, gibbons, great apes,
etc. Plans we're authorized for this
building in the appropriation bill for
1882. and 1t had been hoped that money
for its construction would be provided
IN the current years appropriation. But
the construction fund was stricken out
by the Budget Bureau. 1t is being re-
quested now for the second time.
The National Geological Park now
ranks third in the country In the size
OF It's collection, only New York and
Philadelphia exceeding it. But IN build
ing equipment the National Zoo is
sixth in the country. Many of the
buildings are old, and some of them
have become overcrowded and made
quate from the viewpoint both of the
animals and Of their visitors. The
building program undertaken by DR..
Mann will improve conditions i'm
mensely. While the house for small
mammals will be one of the largest of
the new buildings planned. it is pro-
posed later to construct a new house for
the elephants, rhinos and hippopota-
muse5.
The ability TO pay for the new house
for small mammals in the next years
appropriation bill is still in doubt. The
greater proportion of funds for the
National Zoo comes from local revenues
The proportion Of Federal money for
the Zoo has diminished with the de-
crease of the lump sum. And If the
decision as TO use of money raised by
local taxation rested with the taxpayers
it is debatable whether they would feel
able to afford the housing program at
the zoo-N necessary Is 1t may be-

Stimson Policies Accepted
AS Voicing World Sentiment

Mr.. stimson makes 1t all the more
evident"
Pointing out that Japan is entitled
to talk strongly If any other nation
violates the Kellogg pact" the Buffalo
Evening News holds that "she cannot
claim for herself a special exemption
from reproach for disregarding her
pledges" The Nashville Banner advises
that "it Is an excellent thing for Japan
to understand that Mr. Stimson has
implied just what a vast majority of
the people OF the world implicitly be-
lieve"
The United States - now taking
the avowed position" IS viewed by the
Birmingham Age-Herald, that the
treaty is implemented by the response

ice in behalf Of the preservation of
peace and good faith. This Is dis

Mr.. Shouse's New Job.

The selection OF Mr. JOuetI oilousc
10 direct the activities Of the Assocla-
tion Against the Prohibition Amend
ment signalizes the entrance of this
organization into the field where the
real fight over prohibition will be
waged. That field lies in the con-
sressional districts. The party plat
forms and the utterances Of the can
didates are significant of the chang
ing tides Of public opinion. but
neither binds the candidate who Is
seeking election or reelection at the
hands of the homefolks. Each OF these
faces a problem of his own. There
will be Democrats who will advocate
the plan outlined by President Hoover
and there will be Republicans who
will champion the proposal of Gov.
Roosevelt and there will be Democrats
and Republicans, alike, who refuse to
accept either and make their cam
paigns on the defeat of both. The As
sociation Against the Prohibition
Amendment, which thus far has GEN.
tered its energies in behalf of a ma
tional propaganda against the eight
zenith amendment, will take its cue from
the book of strategy of the Anti-Saloon
League and, without regard to party
seek the election of members of Con-
Rress who advocate its principles.
In Mr.. Shouse, the association has
chosen a man who has been given wide
and deserved credit for having kept
intact and on vigorous offensive the
directing forces of the Democratic
party after its smashing defeat four
years ago. He does not undertake this
new work as a Democrat, however. The
association is careful to point out the
non-partisan nature of the task that
1t has chosen.
But 1t would be idle to discount the
political significance of the organiza-
tion's choice of MIR. Shouse, or of the
campaign it will undertake under his
direction. Mr.. Shouse represented the
defeated wing of his party in the Chi
cago convention, although triumphant
on the prohibition issue itself. Now he
takes the field at the head OF an or
ganization that espouses the solution of
the liquor problem proposed by the
Democratic plank. That is outright
repeal. "As is well known" the asso-
citation declares in its statement, "the
position of the association is for un-
qualified repeal. 1t is not the desire
of our group to take dogmatic stand
which would serve to eliminate valu-
able support. On the contrary, every
effort will be exerted to try to draw
together ali of those who feel that the
eighteenth amendment does not belong
IN the Constitution and that the only
wise solution of the vexed liquor prob
lem is to return control to the States
without attempting such restrictions,
no matter how desirable their purpose,
as to introduce new complications into
the situation"
Without undertaking to draw the line
at the point where liberalism stops and
dogmatism begins, it is obvious that the
association will seek the election of
those who see eye to eye with the
Democratic platform trainers. And this
effort, under the leadership of Mr..
Shouse, will lend additional emphasis
to the Democratic party's role as
standard bearer for the vets.

Statements made by Secretary. of
State Henry L. Stimson before the
Council of Foreign Relations. voicing
the attitude of the Government toward
territorial control acquired by acts of
aggression, receive much attention. His
declaration that the United States will
not recognize such gains is believed by
a large majority to represent the senti-
ment of the world. This position is
interpreted as an important step in the
direction of peace, and as having a
bearing on conditions in the Far East
and in South America.
THE address was a timely and very
important pronouncement," thinks the
Rock Island Argus, with the assump-
ton that Mr.. Stimson doubtless ex-
poets the League of Nations to reafiirm
that wholesome doctrine" The Provi-
dence Journal takes the address as "a
notable embodiment of a new spirit in
the world" and Is persuaded to be-
lieve that this tragic race Of ours has
made some progress since 1918 In the
outlawing Of war as an instrument for
enforcing the purposes of a nation or
group Of nations" The Charleston
(W. Va Daily Mail feels that other
nations welcome IAN advance in organ
ization Of world peace" The San An
tonic Express recognizes his offer of "a
foundation upon which the nations
may build for peace"
The nations can and should adhere
to their declaration that no moral right
has been acquired in a conquered re-
gion," states the Salt Lake Desert News.
Such pressure of public opinion will
probably in the end bring the intruding
nation to ask judicial settlement of the
matter before world court or a spe-
cial arbitration board which represents
international opinion" The San jose
Mercury Herald declares: Neither the
United States nor Europe will intervene
in the Far East with arms. The people
Of neither would support such a war.
The only alternative is to use the power
Of world public opinion against Japan.
Together, North and South America.
Europe and Africa can mold this opin-
ion. Japan cannot indefinitely stand
out against It,"
THE general acceptance of the pro-
visions of the Kellogg pact" according
to the Lexington Leader, makes old
doctrines untenable. It undermines
completely the doctrine of neutrality
It goes far toward the ultimate out
lawry Of war. Non-recognition by the
signatory powers of situations created
by the use Of force implements the
treaty and makes it highly effective
