ROOSEVELT MAY
ANNOUNCE NEW
HOUSING DRIVE
President Studies Plans to
Stimulate Construction
Industry.
BY RUTH FINNEY
Times SnrriaI Writer

WASHINGTON, April 20.-Fol-
lowing an old, reliable maxim Of
the nursery that it is better to divert
the mind Of a fractions child than
10 give in 10 1t or punish it, Presi-
dent Roosevelt seems to be getting
together something new IN the way
Of recovery advices to make congress
and the country forget about infla-
ton.
In spite of official silence on the
subject. there IS little doubt here
that President Roosevelt plans to
address the country soon. His re-
covery aces are hard at work pre-
pairing material for him. The White
House buzzes with activity. This
speech may serve to turn the spot
light away from some Of the prob
lens 10 which answers have not
been found and on to the new pro-
gram, whatever 1t is.
The fact that the President fitted
a conference on housing into one
of the busiest days Of his week, put
ting it ahead of the scheduled silver
conference and action on the cru
Cial coal situation, has led to guesseS
that this is the subject Of the new
drive.
The administration has been try
ing for weeks to work out a plan
to stimulate private construction.
Half a dozen false starts have been
made, only to b. followed by retreat
for further study.
If a plan has been worked out at
last, and if it has been decided to
put General Hugh Johnson in
charge of it-a rumOr which gains
color from the generals presence at
the White House conference Thurs
day-the resulting fireworks should
be enough to take the headlines
away from silver, frozen bank de
posts and farm mortgages for quite
a while
If this is the program, it may be
designed also to take the minds
of congressional liberals from the
great difference between the S10,-
OO0.0000OO public works appropria-
ton they are asking and the $780,
100000 appropriation the admins
tratiOn favOrs
For months, NRA officials have
been saying that little more can be
done to relieve unemployment until
the industries where unemployment
is construction, material
and machine manufacturing indus
tries, for instance-have been
stimulated
Private building totaled S5,416,-
100000 in 1928 In 1888, it amounted
to just $58O,OOO,OOO The SO per
cent drop, meaning a similar drop.

BULLET IN MUSCLES
OF HEART REMOVED,
VICTIM TO RECOVER

~ . NlffQ EFfSS
TOLEDO, O., April 20.-Rich-
ard Ellsworth grinned through
tight lips at DR.. Norris Gillette and
said: Go to it. doc"
For many long minutes the
physician worked feverishly. His
instruments of steel followed a
delicate trail, through the ribs,
around a collapsed lung. Then
Mr.. Ellsworth's heart lay exposed.
Its beat was plainly audible in the
hush of the room.
Finally the physician straight
ened. Mr.. Ellsworth was wheeled
out of the operating room. DR..
Gillette had performed one Of the
most delicate operations known to
modern surgery.
He had removed bullet from
the muscles Of the heart.
Mr.. Ellsworth, who shot himself
accidentally while cleaning a re-
volver, is expected to recover.

provements, dealings with affiliated

formation.
Up to the present time, the COM
panies have been required to report
only once each year and then the
reports were largely filed without
reading.
Approximately 200 companies are
affected by the new order.
A special report form covering
operations for 1888 also was mailed
with the monthly report data and
in the same order the special re-
port was ordered filed by May /.
The special report will reveal
names of stockholders, officers, di-
rectors, investments and similar
financial structure details.
The commission believes" the
order says, that in order that it
may be at all times informed as to
the trend Of changes and adjust

other matters affecting the de-
