PLANS
CURB ON SPENDING
President Will Take Every
Opportunity to Convince
People of Program.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG,

Stan Correspondent OF The Star.
WARM SPRINGS, Ga, December 8.
President Roosevelt is now making it
evident he intends to take advantage
Of every opportunity to convince the
people that the time for lavish spend
ing on the part of the Federal Gov
ernment, especially in the promotion Of
New Deal social experiments, Is q
thing Of the past, and that the cost Of
carrying on these emergency expedi-
ents must be borne by the States, the
counties and the municipalities.
Mr.. Roosevelt feels confident the Ma
tion has recovered suficiently from the
depression. and that the Federal Gov
ernfnent has done more than its share
in battling along what he refers to a.
"the line of human necessity"
Those who know what is in the
Presidents mind expect him to make
repeated reference to the shifting of
the emergency burden to the shoulders
of the States, the counties and the
municipalities.
Stresses Necessity for Cuts.
In the much-talked-of Atlanta
speech, which has since been generally
interpreted as the actual keynote for
his forthcoming campaign for re-
election, he laid great emphasis on the
necessity for restricting Government
activity in the various fields Of re-
covery and relief, with a view to re-
ducing emergency expenditures.
Again yesterday. Mr.. Roosevelt put
the idea In plain language as he ad-
dressed large and unusual gathering
at the Pine Mountain Valley rural
community, across the mountain on
the northern slopes of which is located
the Little white House. The Pine
Mountain Valley settlement is the first
project of its kind undertaken by the
Federal Government for transplanta-
ton Of needy families to rural COM
munities affording opportunity to live
with reasonable comfort and at the
same time, earn a living. In an ad-
dress praising what has been done
thus far in this experiment, the Presi-
dent declared that, while he considered
it another dream come true" he
realized that the Government cannot
go further in such projects, and that
he hoped the example being set in
Pine Mountain Valley would be fol-
lowed by local governments.
To Inspect C. C. C. Camp. ..
Another unit of the New Deals
social experiments will be inspected
the latter part of this week, when
President Roosevelt makes an inspec-
ton tour of the c. C. G. camp at
Warm Springs.
After his address to the pioneer
families on the Pine Mountain Valley
project, and the thousand or so
Georgians who had come from nearby
counties to hear him, President Roose-
velt motored to the plantation home
of Cason Galloway, operator of one Of
the largest cotton mills in the South,
where he was an overnight guest. The
President arose early enough today to
drive the IS miles from the Galloway
plantation to Warm Springs so as to
take his daily swim in the pool at
the customary hour.
The other members Of the Presi-
dents party who were Callaway's
overnight guests were James Roose-
welt, the Presidents eldest son; Sec
retary Marvin H. Mcintyre, Capt. Ross
T. Mcintyre, q. 8. NJ, White House
physician; Miss Marguerite LIE Hand,
the Presidents personal secretary,
and Miss Grace Tully. Of the execu-
tive staff. A large detachment Of
Marines doing guard duty about the
Little White House" were sent on
ahead to guard the Galloway home
during the Presidents visit.
Spends Day writing.
Mr.. Roosevelt had no business en-
gagements scheduled for today. 1t be-
ing his purpose to devote his attention
principally to his mail and the writ
ing Of the speech he viii deliver next
Monday to the American Farm Bu-
reau Federation In Chicago.
The President, bundled In heavy
overcoat, drove his own car over the
IL miles Of rough dirt road to the Pine
Mountain Valley settlement. The route
was extremely dangerous In places be-
cause Of the steep grades and the
hairpin curves. He appeared TO enjoy
the trip, and handled his car ex-
pertiy, although much OF the time he
was looking away from the road TO-
admire the scenery.
