FACatiOhlstS hetufH FROM 1V-Ddy NiSit
10 Florida.
With his face well tanned and other
wise physically showing the benefits of
his To-day vacation in the semi-tropical
sun, President Hoover returned to his
desk at the executive Office today.
The presidential desk was piled with
accumulated correspondence and routine
business. besides many kilograms and
letters conveying the seasons greetings.
Mr. Hoover lost no time In beginning
work Other than his bi-weekly cabinet
session and newspaper conference, no
engagements were made for him today.
After an uneventful journey Of %
hours from Palm Beach, Fla, the Presi-
dents special train arrived at Union
Station at 8 O'Clock. Ten minutes later
Mr. and Mrs. Hoover were back at the
White House They had breakfast be-
fore leaving the train and upon arriving
at the White House went directly to
their apartments Mr.. Hoover hurriedly
changed his clothes and few minutes
later was bent over his work in the
executive Office.
Friends Leave for Home.
Several friends of President and Mrs.
Hoover who made up the vacation party
left them at the station for their homes.
In this group were Harlan F. Stone,
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.
and Mrs Stone; Senator Austin Of
Vermont and Mrs. Austin, Mark Sulli-
van, the writer; Lawrence Richey. the
Presidents personal secretary, and Capt.
Joel T. Boone, White House physician.
Few persons recognized President and
Mrs Hoover as they walked along the
station platform and through the con-
course, to the waiting White House
limousine.
Mr.. Hoover was In an especially
cheerful mood as he exchanged compli-
ments of the season with his assistants
and others stationed about the White
House. The President spoke enthu-
siastically of his fishing expedition.
All who talked with the President
said they had never seen him look
ing more fit. Hours spent in the sunny
fresh air of Florida and the exercise
afforded by deep-sea fishing In the
Gulf Stream had greatly benefited the
Chief Executive.
1t was the first real vacation he had
had in two years and the second one
since he became President.
With only two months remaining
before he retires from the presidency,
Mr.. Hoover returned with an evident
determination TO have everything in
readiness before turning over the White
House to Franklin D. Roosevelt on
March 4.
Mr.. Hoover was faced upon his re-
turn with the philiDuine independence
bill which recently passed Congress. 1t
is thought he will veto this measure.
He has indicated as much although he
has refrained from making any public
comment.
Christmas decorations were still in
evidence at the White House today.
Soon after the Presidents departure
for his Office Mrs Hoover went to the
east room to see trimmed Christmas
tree and then inspected decorations in
other parts of the house.

he was further considering the subject,
still other consultations were contem-
plated and the necessary orders to ef-
feet them would be forthcoming. He Is
still of this opinion about further reor-

It is doubtful If he issues any further

few minor additional changes will be
recommended before he goes out of

STATE BUDGET
REPORTED GOOD
Governor Buck at Conference
of Governors i'm Wash
ington, Makes Report
GOING SATISFACTORILY

Delaware's budget is satisfactory
and the budget has been kept bal
anced here without the imposition
Of new taxes, Governor Buck said
Monday in Washington where he
attended a Governors conference
with Preident Roosevelt, called to
discuss and plan to meet the bank
ing crisis. Governor and Mrs. Buck
were luncheon guests along with
the other Governors and their
wives, of President and Mrs. Roose-
welt at the White House. Besides
the financial crisis the Governors
made report Of their State budget
condition. Governor Bucks state
ment appeared Monday in the New
York Times, with statements from
other governors as to the financial
standing of their states. Governor
Buck said: Our budget is satisfac-
tory, because we have a surplus in
one or two funds of about $7,000,
900, and if there is slight deficit
in other departments we can divert
some of that money to meet the
situation. The State is doing
everything possible to keep gov
ernment within economic limjta-
tions, and although the Legislature
is now in session there seems to be
every desire to cooperate for pur-
poses of economy. That is rather
natural at present. The astonish-
ing thing in Delaware is that we
have kept the budget balanced
without the imposition of new tax
es. We have no State tax on land
or personal property, although we
have an income tax and an inher-
itance tax. have some ideas
about balancing the Federal bud
get, but do not think it would be
appropriate for me to discuss them
at this time"

members that there is no law in
Delaware limiting the speed at
which motor vehicles may be oper-
ated. He said that now driving in
excess of 40 miles was simply ac-
cepted as evidence of reckless driv-
ing and that arrests are made on
this charge. 1t would be the same
under the As mile limit. The bill
now goes to the Senate for consid-
Grafton of that body. What has
been dubbed the"tail light" bill was
passed by the House yesterday af-
ternoon. 1t was introduced by Rep
resentative Stansbury English, of
Millsboro, and requires all persons
walking along the highway at
night to cary a lantern, fiashlight,
or some other kind of light. Twen-
ty-nine members voted for the bill.
Representative Ford, Simonton and
Van Solver opposed it, and Repre-
sentatives Outten and Scott replied

law would compel all such pedes-
trians to cary light and for fail
ure to do so they could be fined
