WORK CALLS
PRESIDENT.
ON RETURN.
Official Family Turns Out
to Meet Executives Train;
Health Improved
BY RILLA SCHROEDER


Bronzed and rested after his
vacation, President Roosevelt re-
turned to Washington today, ar
irving at the Union Station at
1857 a. m.
The White House had frowned
on plans for a public welcome, so
the crowd gathered at the station
to meet the train included only
the Presidents official family, his
daughter, Mrs. Anna Roosevelt
Dali, and a few hundred Stragglers
attracted by the White House car.
Usual Procedure
AS one police officer remarked:
whenever persons down here
see important looking cars and
policemen, they always come
running. They know someone
big is arriving"
Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau, accompanied by a
Secret Service man, was the first
Of the notableS to arrive, good
20 minutes before the Presi-
Dental train steamed in.
Shortly afterwards Marvin Nc
Intyre, secretary to the Presi-
dent, drove up with Mrs. Dali,
and then Secretary of State Hull,
accompanied by Assistant Secre-
tary R. Walton Moore and Sum-
ner Welles, followed.
Secretary of Commerce Roper,
arriving a few minutes before
the train was due, joined Mrs.
Dali and chatted with her until
the whistle announced the az
rival Of the Presidential car.
Colonel HaIsey Present ....-~,
Others in the crowd were Col.
Ed HalSey of the Senate; Chester
Jurney, and South Trimble.
The Cabinet officers and Mrs.
Dali mounted the train steps i'm
rnediately, and were received in
side by the President.
A few minute afterwards the
President, leaning on the arm Of
his son, John Roosevelt, emerged.
Before leaving the platform he
called the crew of the train to him
and thanked them for their care
across the country. To the engi-
neer, grimed and sooty, but beam
ing, the President said:
'T've been very comfortable
A~N p~aNNnHA nhVSm0A
GREETS MORAN
At the bottom of the runway he
greeted william H. Moran, chief
Of the Secret Service, who had pre-
ceded him across the country. He
said:
"Well, how are you, chief,
see you got here"
The Presidents secretary, Col.
Louis Howe, drove back from
the station with the President
and Mrs. Dali.
The President plunged into
business activity as soon as he
arrived at the White House. He
announced first, that he would
take tea with Secretary Hull.
Then he arranged an afternoon
conference with Secretary Nor
genthau at the White House.
It was believed Secretary Hull
wanted to report on steps taken
in the pre-naval conference nego-
tiations, while Secretary Nor
genthau would discuss the new
silver naturalization order.

FEW IN LAST
LEGISLATURE
TO RUN AGAIN
IS Per Cent of Solons Who
Passed School and Tax
Law Definitely Out
HARD FIGHTING IS
AHEAD FOR OTHERS
By ]. c. BASKERVILL
The Times-News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, May 1.-THE wave
of resentment against the men,
bers of the 1888 general assem-
bly, that developed during the
fight two years ago over the gen.
eral sales tax and new school law
and which has been kept alive
ever since by the anti-sales tax
and anti-school law forces, and
the campaign made to prevent as
many as possible of the members
of the 1888 general assembly
from coming back in 1888, has
borne fruit, according to observ-
ers here. For this campaign
against the two outstanding acts
of the 1888 general assembly and
the members who enacted them
has already succeeded in keeping
fully rs per cent of those who
are members of the 1893 assem-
bly, from becoming candidates
while most of the few who are
seeking to be renominated and
reelected to the 1885 assembly
are conceded TO have a hard fight
ahead of them.
The result, according to the
more experienced observers here,
is that there is going to be the
largest turnover in the member
ship of the 1888 general assembly
than in years, with new and IN
experienced members comprising
about 80 per cent of personnel.
In the senate only 10 of the SO
members of the 1898 senate are
seeking denomination and reelec-
ton with indications that not
more than five of these will be
returned. The figures for the
house are not as definite, since
the filing time has not yet closed
in the counties and those who tiie
are not required to file here. But
those who have been following the
situation closely point out that
while there are hundreds of can
didates already out for the legs,
lature, not more than 25 or ~
were members of the 1888 gen.
eral assembly and scarcely any
who have ever served in 1t before
at any time.
This means that the anti-sales

The committee desires particu-
larly, it was said, to learn wheth-
err the Authority has further con-
sidered the erection of a storage
dam at Long Shoals and how this
might affect agricultural and other
interests in Henderson county. On
a similar visit to Knoxville sew
eral months ago, a Henderson
county committee was Informed
that consideration had not yet
been given to construction work
in this section, and if such were
decided on the Authority would
cooperate with the people of this
section in bringing about the
maximum of benefits.
The conference tomorrow was
arranged by Mayor A. V. Ed
wards with C.. A. Book, assistant
chief engineer of the IVA, which

HOPKINS SAYS
BILLIONS FOR
RELIEF NEEDED
Hoan of Milwaukee, Urges
Ten Billion Public
Works Measure

WASHINGTON, May 2. (UP).
Billions of dollars are needed i'm
mediately to carry on additional
federal relief and public works
projects, the government was in
formed yesterday.
Federal Relief Administrator
Harry L. Hopkins said the $780,
100000 given to him recently was
rapidly diminishing and added:
GIVE got to have some more
money"
So far, the relief administra-
ton has spent about 1900, 000,-
900 on the nations unemployed.
Alonzo J. Hammond, chairman
of the Construction League of the
United States, said his organiza-
ton would ask congress for a
public works appropriation of be-
tween $2,000,000,000 and 3d.
600, 000,o 00 to continue the gov
eminent financed building canl-
paign for another year.
The league, which includes con-
tractors, materials producers, en-
gineers and architects, favors both
the public building program and
the National Emergency Councils
plan of stimulating private build
ing and home modernization.
Mayor Daniel w. Hoan of Mil
waukee, appearing before the
senate education committee yes
terday, urged passage of the La
Toilette bill which would appro-
private $1O,OO0,OO0,000 for pub
lie works. He said discontinuance
of the civil works program was
the greatest mistake the federal
government ever made.
"I am not an alarmist," Hoan
said, "but I say no society can
long endure that deliberately,
through inaction, keeps 100000
600 men, women and children on
relief. The LaFollette bill aims
to substitute work and wages
for charity"
Chairman Ellison D. Smith of
the senate agriculture committee
said he expected administration
support for his bill to appropriate
$15O,OO0,000 for the purchase of
cotton to be used for relief pur-
poses.
