DRESIDENT HOOVER started off
the week well by calling on the
heads of departments and the execu-
tives of all other federal activities to
cut out all nen-essentials from bug
get requests for the next fiscal year.
The President said he had requested
Director OF the Budget Roop ITO
make every effort to secure reduc-
ton OF at least s5OO,OO0.0O0 In the
estimates of appropriations for the
next year from the appropriations
made for the current year. and the
cooperation OF the responsible nd
ministrative officers Is necessary to
achieve this end. A part of this can
be accomplished In reduction Of con-
struction, activities which have been
so greatly speeded up during the past
few years as an aid to employment. :"
From administration sources it was
learned the President hoped the to-
tai budget reduction might be $780,
100000.
Just before sending his message to
department heads, the President an
nounced that the government would
60 ahead with that portion of the
construction program which the relief
act made contingent on the ability OF
the treasury to raise the necessary
money. He said he had instructed
the various departments to speed up
the program by the amount of slight
" less than s200.000,0O0.
On Tuesday the War department,
to advance the governments employ
ment relief efforts, approved great
construction program that calls for
the expenditure of SAT. 577.260 on food
control and rivers and harbors prof.
ects. The department expects these
activities will provide work for 25,-
900 persons now jobless.

TODAY a letter came to my desk that
i deeply impressed me. 1t was written
by woman = the mother in a typical
American family. Her little home had
been saved from foreclosure by coat of
new paint, for which part of their meager
savings had been paid.
Those few gallons of fresh paint had so
revived the appearance and enhanced the
value of the property that the mortgage
had consented to renew the loan. and
the little home was saved.
could not help thinking of the thousands
of homes and buildings that are shabby
and unattractive today due to several years
of neglected painting; of the millions of
home owners who, because of reduced
incomes and enforced economy, have been
obliged to sacrifice painting for taxes, in
terest, assessments, to say nothing of food,
clothing, heat and other essentials of COM
fort and health.
You have seen these paint-starved houses
and buildings, as have |. They are every
where about you. Perhaps your home is
included.
Do you understand what they signifyP Do
you realize what will happen to wood or
metal that is literally naked of paint if these
houses and buildings face the attack of
another season frain, snow, ice, and frostp
Never in the history of our country has
the situation been paralleled. Property
owners face an added burden of expense
amounting to millions of dollars for repairs
and requirements next spring.
And the crisis, in my opinion, will be
reached this coming nUinfer when paint of four,
five, and even six years exposure to the
weather will be unable to resist the elements
when badly weathered wood and metal
will be easy prey for rot, rust and decay.
Today the big question facing thousandso of
property owners is plain. 1t is 'bainf or
pay. Either you must invest a little this fall
in new paint or you must take the risk of

paying many times the cost of paint to
repair the damage done by rot, rust and
decay this winter.
Even at the sacrifice of other things, have
your house or buildings completely
repainted now. No investment you can
make will pay better dividends. And nothing
you can buy will make you and your family
feel so uplifted and cheerful.
Ifyou cannot arrange to do complete repaint-
ing job now, at least giue the badly 1Ueafhered
places a coat or fEUo of protecting paint.
Look especially, to the window stills, thresh-
olds, outdoor porches and steps; the joints
of porch ratings and palings; the bases of
pillars; the edges of caves; the roof; the
cutters and down spouts. These are the vital
spots where water lodges where ice and
frost settle-where rot and rust attack first.
A few dollars worth of good paint, applied
now, will protect these vital spots-will tide
you over this crucial winter. And it will
probably save you much greater expense
for repairs and requirements next spring
and summer.
Under existing conditions, you may be
tempted to buy cheap paint because of
its low price. hope you will not make
this costly mistake.
Even on sound lumber, inferior paint is
poor bargain. But on weathered wood,
which is very porous, such paint is worse
than useless. 1t gives you false feeling of
security and leaves you without protection.
Prices of well-known, established brands
of paint are now the lowest in fifteen years.
Enough good, dependable paint can be
purchased fora few dollars to protect all the
badly weathered surfaces on your building
Again repeat, do complete job this fall
if you can. But at least do the vital exposed
places before it is 900 late.

SUICIDE
VERDICT EXPECTED
Friend to Examine Weapon
of Laundryman-PoIice
Seek Woman.

A certificate Of suicide probably will
be issued today in the case Of Lee Lin,
35, Chinese laundryman, who was found
dead yesterday morning with a bullet
wound in the abdomen in a rear room
of the High Lee laundry, 809 Twelfth
street northeast.
Friend to Examine Gun.
A .32-caliber revolver, which was
lying beside the body was brought to
headquarters, where 1t will be viewed
later today by Chinese friend of Lin S
in an effort to identify the weapon.
The laundryman was understood to
have owned gun similar to the one
found.
Headquarters detectives also were
seeking for questioning a young white
woman said to have visited the laundry
frequently. Police denied, however,
that she could have any connection
with the shooting, and said they merely
wished to learn something of the dead
mans affairs from her.
Acting Coroner A. Magruder MacDon-
aid declared the case looked more like
suicide than murder because of the
position of the body and powder stains
on Lin'S right index finger.
An empty cash drawer and the dis
order Of the room led police to check
theory that Lin might have been
murdered by a robber Nothing has
been developed, police said, to strengthen
this possibility.
The body was found by the dead
mans cousin, Lee Thick Kee, 26, Of the
1000 block of Fourth street northeast.

CHEAPEST TRAVEL is ORDERED
FOR THOSE ON u. S. BUSINESS
McCarl Warns Officials to Use Excursion and Other
Reduced-Fare Tickets on Journeys.

In order that the lowest rates for Gov
ernment travel may be obtained for ON
cial transportation, Controller General
McCarl today warned Federal officials
that more care should be exercised to
see that savings are made through pur-
chase Of excursion tickets and round
trip or party tickets, whenever prac-
ticable and economical"
Instructions were issued by McCarl
to the heads of departments and inde-
pendent establishments enjoining "strict
compliance with the regulations and
these instructions"
McCarl quoted extensive instructions
on Government travel which he said
had been issued by lone of the princi-
pal carriers" He said that the apparent
need for the PRONUNCIATION Of the rail-
roads instructions "arises from the fail
ure of those issuing Government trans
portation requests to specify the class
and limit Of the transportation desired
other than at lowest rate thus max
ing 1t incumbent upon the agent to
issue the ticket at the lowest rate pre-
vailing at the time the request is pre-
sented, although its limitation may not
allow sufficient time in which to per-
form the duties incident to the travel.

two one-way fares, when limited round
trip tickets giving sufficient time to per-
form the necessary duties are available
at reduced rates.
Calling attention to the provision on
special tickets" in Government travel
regulations calling for the purchase Of
special tickets whenever practicable and
economical, McCarl said: "It is incum-
bent upon an officer issuing requests
covering round-trip transportation, or
upon the traveller authorized to issue
such requests for his own use. whether
for transportation or Pullman accom-
modations, to make inquiry relative to
the availability Of transportation at
other than twice the one-way rate, such
as excursion or other reduced round
trip fares, applicable between the points
under consideration, and the limit of
which win provide sufficient time for
the performance Of the duties of the
traveller. Where such reduced round
trip fare tickets are available, they
should be requested, and In case the re-
turn portion is not used the redemptive
value thereof can be secured from the
transportation or Pullman company. In
such event the unused portion of tickets
should be promptly forwarded to the
administrative office concerned through
the official who furnished the request"
