Herbert Hoover entered his 62nd

California. Business meetings will
hold him in New York from Mon
day through Wednesday.
New opportunities to confer with
Republican leaders will be afforded
there, and at a time when the New

cOuraged party organizers to greater
efforts against the administration.
Every Move Watched.
Because of the former Presidents

his personal intentions regarding

SAVIOR.
1t was said here no political con-
versations are scheduled. Since vari-
Gus prominent Republicans sought
the Hoover ear on past trips, however
congressional quarters expect this one
to be no exception.
II What has happened before is any
criterion. those who so seek will find

about trying a comeback himself-a
subject of disagreement in Washing

Friends expect him to disregard
suggestions for a statement about his
own personal position on the nomina-
ton question and rather to confine
himself TO discussion Of fundamentals
OF government until the political sit

They would not be so surprised by
moves on his part to influence the
Republican platform on the issue for
1886 as he now sees it, Shall the
American system of government en-
dure?"
Events next NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
New Deal fortunes in the Supreme
Court and what follows-seem des-

carriers, including those which are
otherwise exempted. are made subject

qualifications and maximum hours Of
service of their employees and the

SMOKE CONTROL
FUND IS ASKED
$4,000 to Administer New
Act to Be Sought by D. C.
Heads Monday.

An urgent request for approval of an
emergency appropriation of S25,000 for
administration of the new smoke con-
troll act just passed by Congress will
be rushed to the Budget Bureau Mon
day by the Commissioners.
Engineer Commissioner Sultan found
himself facing the problem of new
law in control of the smoke nuisance,
without appropriations to make it pos
sible. The bill authorizes necessary
appropriations, but Congress must yet
make the funds available. Should there
be slip and the money not be appro-
priated, enforcement of the new act
apparently would be left in the hands
of the Health Department, which has
but two inspectors assigned to check
on smoke nuisances.
Strenuous efforts" will be made to
have a deficiency item of $4,000
promptly approved by the Budget Bu-
reau and dispatched to Congress in a
plan to have it attached to a third
national deficiency bill expected. to
be passed by Congress before the pres
ent session ends.
Belief is held the Budget Bureau
will approve the item, since it
passed favorably on a proposed smoke
control bill similar to the one finally
enacted by Congress. In that action
the bureau found the legislation not
in conflict with the Presidents flnan-
cial program.
Col. Sultan has directed Capt Hugh
P Dram. District director of inspec-
ton, to prepare a detailed program of
enforcement machinery to be covered
by the $4,000 item. The admins
tration would be placed in the hands
of combustion engineer who would
have staff of assistants and inspec-
tors considerably larger than the two
men now attempting to do smoke
control work under the Health De-
partment.

Purdue, with four victories and
