LEFT
ESTATE VALUED
NEAR $3.50, 900

NORTHAMPTON, Mass, Jan. 9.
U.P)-Friends of Gavin Coolidge es-
timated today that he left an es-
tate valued at approximately $780,
600.
There was no official confirma-
ton. Those close to the former
President based their estimate on
what he might be expected to have
amassed from his salary during 80
years of public life, including six
years in the White House, and
from his earnings as writer and
from shrewd investments.
His estate, The Beeches, is
valued at something like $40, 900.
This is the 16 room mansion to
which Mr.. Coolidge moved from a
$32 a month duplex apartment af-
ter leaving the White House, and
where he died suddenly of heart
attack Thursday.
In addition, he owned consider
able property-the Coolidge home
stead, the Coolidge farmhouse,
many acres of woodland and pas
tures-in his native Plymouth, VT,
where, in hillside cemetery, he
was laid to rest Saturday near the
graves of five generations of his
family.
If Mr.. Coolidge left a will, only
members of his immediate family
were aware of the fact.

HOOVER SEEKS
BUDGET ACTION

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. U.P>-
President Hoover, the United Press
learned, will send special message
to congress tomorrow urging it
to balance the budget this session
to assure success of huge band is
sues which the treasury soon must
float.
1t was understood Mr.. Hoover
was not disposed to enter directly
into the present controversy
among Democratic leaders over
specific means of balancing the
budget.
He will declare, however, that
it is essential for federal reven-
ueS and expenses to be equalized
before the treasury undertakes its
impending refinancing program.
This year $3,000,000 of federal
bonds come due and must be re-
financed. In addition, the trea-
sury will have to borrow around
$50O,O00,O0O before June l to meet
current expenses. Next year about
$4,000, 100000 more government Sc
surities come due. This means that
the government must make pro-
vision soon for floating $4,000, ,000,-
coo of bonds.
Mr.. Hoover will argue that un-
less the budget is balanced, it
might not be possible to sell these
bonds at a favorable price and
interest rate.
Congressional leaders agree with
the President that the budget
should be balanced, but are still
at ODDS as to how it should be
done.

To KILL BILL
BANNING ARMS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. U.H -
The state departments arms en-
barge resolution, designed to
strengthen the Kellogg peace pact,
either will be buried by President
Hoover or sent to congress in an
emasculated form, the United Press
learned today from an authoritative
source.
The original embargo resolution
aroused the opposition of munitions
interests and caused a split in the
cabinet. Prominent arms manufac-
turers showered the White House
and senate and war department
with protests against the original
draft. They contended it would
harm their business.
Meanwhile, during more than
three weeks of delay by the White
House in sending the resolution to
congress, Secretary of State Slim
son has battled for the original
draft. Secretary of War Hurley has
fought against it. The war Secre-
tary, it appeared today, has won.
The embargo resolutions was
drafted by Stimson and his assis-
tants shortly before Christmas.
Expanding the Presidents cur
rent power to bar arms shipments
to revolutlonists in Latin-A American
and China, it would have enabled
him to keep American munitions
from any country at war in VIOLA
ton of the Kellogg pact. The
President could act alone, regard
less of other nations.

recess, and be ready to report for
the opening of the last half of the
session.
Here are some of the phases the
investigation is to include, accord
ing to United Press checkup:
Charges of irregularities" in

mittee headed by Senator David
Bush of Oakdale, empowered to in
vestigate financial and other af-
fairs of the state, was expected to
develop much useful information
in considering the new state budget.

REPEAL BILL
IS APPROVED
BY COMMIT TEE
Senate Judiciary Group Votes
Favorably To Repeal Prohibi-
ton Amendment.
SPEEDY ACTION SOUGHT
Resolution Provides Protection
For Dry States And Bans Sa-
looms In Nation.
BY Lyle C. Wilson

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. (U.PG -
The senate judiciary committee
today approved a resolution for
repeal of the 18th amendment with
protection for dry states and pro-
hibition of the saloon.
Anti Prohibitionists moved
once to obtain speedy senate con-
sideration Of the repeater.
Assistant Republican leader Nc
Nary told repeal advocates that it
might be possible to reach the
prohibition issue the latter part of
this week.
The committee stipulated that a
ratification must be effected in
seven years.
Senator King, Democrat, Utah,
announced the committee action.
The years-old hotly controver-
cial issue now goes to the senate
for adoption by two-thirds ma
jority, or defeat.
King said the repeal resolution
was approved substantially as
drafted by subcommittee.
Despite the contrary pledges in
both party platforms, the repeater
would submit the issue to state
legislatures rather than to state
conventions 81
The committees approval of the
repeater was by vote of 10 to
4.
Senators voting against a favor
able report were:
Robinson, Repn., Ind; Schuyler,
Repn., Colo; Norris, Repn., Neb.,
and Black, Dem, Ala.
Senators. voting for a favorable
report were:
Blaine, Repn., d Wis; Hastings,
Repn., Del; Hebert, Repn., R. l.;
Austin, Repn., VT; and Ashurst,
DEM, Ariz.; Walsh, DEM, Mont,
King, DEM, Utah; Dill, DEM,
Wash; Bratton, DEM, N. NJ; Nee
ly, Dem, w. Va.
There were three absentees: Bor-
ah, Repn., Idaho, Stephens, Dem,
Miss, and Schall, Repn., MINI.
Conventions Extensive
Senator Borah, Repn., Idaho,
said the committee favored legis-
latures instead of state conven-
tions because the latter method
would be extremely expensive.
1T would cost the state of Ida
no $20O,000," he said. The commit
tee discussed a suggestion by A.
Mitchell Palmer, attorney general
in the Wilson administration, that
congress call, regulate and pay for
state conventions to consider the
repeal issue.
1.-The contention that congress
can call or in any way control
state conventions is untenable,"
Borah told questioners. "I'm for
the legislatures. They would be
much cheaper"
The resolution will go on the
senate calendar for consideration
at a time to be decided upon by
senate leaders.
The committee defeated, 8 to S,
an amendment to strike from the
resolution section three, which is
to prohibit saloons. Those voting
against it were Senators Robinson,
Repn., Ind, Hastings, Repn,, Del,
Austin, Repn., VT, Schuyler, Repn.,
