8 VISIT
To PRESIDENT
CREATESST|R
Although He Only Stays for
Tea, Gossips See Finan-
ciaI Reason Behind It
By GEORGE r. HOLMES

BY GEORGE n. HOLMES

News Service)
The Capitals most engrossing
mystery today concerned the visit
Of j. P. Morgan to the White
House.
He came, he saw the President
at his own request-and he de-
parted as mysteriously as he
came, with no more information
concerning the Administrators
gold-dollar policy than has been
vouchsafed to the newspaper re-
porters who cover the White
House.
Probably not as much, for the
reporters ply Mr.. Roosevelt regu.
larly with questions Mr.. Morgan
did not. He did not have the
opportunity. So far as the White
House was concerned, it was
purely a social visit. No business
was discussed. Mrs. Roosevelt
was present throughout the brief
visit and, of course, business is
not discussed before the ladies.
Visits Are Rare
Visits to the White House from
the head Of the House Of Morgan
are rare enough to become events
Of historic interest.
J. p. the elder, came once in
1893, in a time Of deep depres-
sion. He came at the invitation
Of Grover Cleveland at a time
when the Governments credit
was in jeopardy. He drove
hard bargain that netted him
millions and went away.
On another occasion he came
again, at the invitation of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, to discuss settle
ment of a controversy involving
labor troubles in the coal fields
This was ]. P, the younger's,
first visit to the Mansion. He
came at his own request, and if
his mission was other than some
light, informal discussion over
cup Of Mrs. RooSevelt's excellent
tea, he went away without its
having been disclosed.
No Light Thrown On Visit
The White House professed to
be unable to throw any light on
the purpose of Mr.. Morgan's visit.
It was arranged by Myron c.
Taylor, chairman of the board of
Mr.. Morgan's U. S. Steel Corpora
ton, who merely said the finan-
cier wished to see the President.
The White House replied that Mr..
Roosevelt would be glad to have
Mr.. Morgan come-to tea. Thus
it was arranged.
The presence of Americas great
est finapcier was not even sus-
pected in the Capital. When he
came, how he stayed, and other
details of his visit were not readily
ascertained. The White House
professed to have no knowledge
concENning them, and, as for Mr..
Morgs1 himself, he was not avail
able f(questioning.
When he left the mansion
yesterday evening after some 80
minutes he curtly instructed his
chauffeur:
"TO the station"
He answered no other questions.
Capital Has Own Ideas
The Capital, however, has its
own ideas and speculation as to
the reasons for Mr.. Morgan's
visit.
Financial circles and the great
banking interests radiating from
Broad and Wall Streets have been
insistently trying for weeks to as
certain the direction and goal Of
the Administrations monetary
policy.
They want to know how far
Washington proposes to let the
dollar drift in it's downward
course. They want to know how
the Government proposes to pro
ceed with the enormous refinanc-
ing program that soon will have to
be undertaken through bonds.

when the country faced the
greatest crisis in its history"
It was due to Woodin'S untiring
work, he said, that the country
pulled through to today when the
Governments credit is as good as
it ever has been.
Mr.. Roosevelt declared the new
acting head of the Treasury would
get the same loyal cooperation
from the Treasury staff that
Woodin always enjoyed.
He concluded his brief remarks
by expressing the hope that
Woodin would return in a few
months and with Morgenthau
would make "a great team" in the
Treasury.
While this was going on at the
Treasury, silver advocates were
meeting on Capitol Hill under the
aegis of Senator Pittman D0 of
Nevada to discuss reconciliation

Drive Is On for Three Jobs to

Control Tennessee improvements.
By Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON. May 2. - The
drive is on for the three jobs or
the Tennessee valley authority
which, under the Norris administra-
ton Muscle Shoals bill, would
undertake the immense improve
ment Of that river basin.
1t generally is expected that
Frank p Walsh, a member of the
New York power authority, who
carried on much of the negotiation
on the st. Lawrence waterway for
President Roosevelt when he was
Governor of New York, will be ap-
pointed. But doubt surrounds the
other two jobs.
Among those prominently men
toned are DR.. John r.. Neal, Ten
nessee lawyer, who has been fight
ing for the Norris bill for years;
former Senator w. E. Brock of Ten
nessee, and Major General Lyle
Brown, chief Of army engineers,
whose term of service in his present
job is reported about to expire.
Senator Brock, however, in reply
to 2 direct question, said he would
not have the job even if offered to
him; DR.. Neal is receptive, and Gen
eral Brown, being supported by
Brock. probably would also be re-
ceptive. Brown urged President
Hoover to veto the compromise Nor
ris bill that passed congress two
years ago.

REPORT SUPPLY
BILL; SLASHES
US. EXPENSES
Roosevelt Veterans Cut
Order Approved; Further
Pruning Seen.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, May 2-The
independent Offices supply bill car
rying governmental savings of ap-
proMmately $500, 100000 and extern
sive powers for the President to eff
feet further economies was reported
fayorably today by the house APP
propriations committee.
The measure, providing funds for
operation of some score of govern
ment commissions and agencies
during the next fiscal year, appro-
PIRATES a total of only $685., STA, 1886.
All activities are drastically re-
duced, with veterans expenditures
bearing the brunt of the budget
balancing economy program.
The appropriations committee in
the bill confirmed the action of
President Roosevelt in reducing vet
Grams costs by s460000,000 under
terms Of the first economy act In
addition, it sustained other savings
recommended by Budget Director
Douglas Of nearly $4,000 900.
Grants Broad Powers
Forecasting still further govern
mental retrenchrnent, the new meas
ure grants TO the President broad
powers to cancel government con-
tracts, effect army and navy econ
omies: retire veteran employees; re-
duce pay of some employees not pre-
viously affected by economy legis-
lation; and cut pensions.
The only major change in legis-
lative power originally asked by Mr..
Roosevelt was confined to the sec
ton dealing with abrogation of con-
tracts
AS originally framed some men,
bers we're apprehensiVe that the au-
thority granted was so broad as to
include reputation of gold bonds
of the United States.
AS approved by the committee,
the section specially limits the au-
thority to cancel contracts to those
dealing with the transportation of
persons and things"
May Retire Old Employees
The President is given permissive
power to retire government civil en-
ployes with thirty years service.
The army and navy would be af-
fected by new provisions allowing
furloughs on half pay of officers of
the army marine corps, coast guard,
public health service and coast Or
geodetic survey.
In addition, the President is en4
powered to suspend or reduce the
extra flying pay allowed to military
and naval aviators.
In the strictly appropriations sec
tions of the measure, heaviest cuts
were effected in the interstate COM
merce commission which had it's ap-
preparation reduced $2,097639 below
the total carried in the original in
dependent offices bill vetoed by
President Hoover.
