the White House did not partici-
pate. During the four-year

contests over the leadership and
the same applied.
It has been a White House
rule and will continue to be one
to abstain from any interference
in matters of House organization,
he said. ..
This afternoon the President
will meet for the first time in a
month with his Cabinet. Two
subjects to be discussed then, he
revealed, are the matter of au-
thoriZing two new battleships for
the Navy and the question of in
augurating a Self-registering
census setup, which will keep a
constant check on unemployment.
The President was asked
whether he would propose revision
Of the Smoot- -Hawley tariff bill at
the coming session.
Never Heard Of It
o.. He looked somewhat startled,
then smiled, and said he had
never heard of it. He did not am.
plify this cryptic reply.
Although number Of major
vacancies exist in the Government
establishment, Mr.. Roosevelt in
dicated he was not yet prepared to
fill any of them.
A recent magazine article, writ
ten by DR.. Stanley High, who was
active in the Presidents cam
paign, was called to the Presi-
dents attention in that it pur-
ported to detail all major moves
the Executive is going to make in
the next four years.
The President said he had not
read the article and he had not
known in advance 1t was going to
be written.
Referring briefly to his cruise
to South America, the President
indicated he hopes to make one
ocean trip each year during his
second administration.
Last Him Is Years
In fact, he disclosed that while
the delightful cruise to BuenoS
Aires was still in progress, he and
his son James had idly worked out
enough tentative cruises to last
him for the next Is years.
On the subject of cruising, it
was recalled to him that he and
Senator William E. Borah Of Idaho
had once made a compact that
which ever of the two might be in
the White House after 1897 would
take the other for a ride in the
White House yacht.
So, the President said, when the
weather. gets warmer, the Potomac,
the White House yacht, will be
taken out and Mr.. Roosevelt will
make good his promise to Mr..
Borah.
The President expressed hope
that the Senate will ratify the
Argentine sanitary convention,
which relieves some Of the string
ency of hoof-and-mouth disease
embargo on cattle shipments.

For YuIetide Truce

Foreign diplomats today launched
move for Christmas truce"
in the Spanish civil war today,
but with the loyalistS being pushed
back farther in the fourth day of
the furious insurgent offensive at
Boadilla Del Monte, northwest of
Madrid, there was little likelihood
that the insurgents would risk
losing the impetus of their push.
The diplomats hoped that halt
in the war for couple of weeks
would give them chance to bring
about an armistice while the
Franco British plan for a plebis-
cite on the wars issues would be
pushed. :
Loyalists captured the height of
Cerro de las Nieves, dominating the
inSurgent supply route south of the
capital, after. four hours of vio-
lent fighting today, according to
a government communique.
The loyalists advanced 21a miles
during the tlghtlng, 1t was as
serted.
The insurgents are now con-
vinced that encirclement of Ma
drid can be accomplished within
few days.
Marcel Rosenberg, the Soviet
ambassador, Is reported to have
advised the Valencia government
to give up Madrid as soon as the
loyaliSt military can be with
drawn.
Evacuation of the stricken city
continues rapidly, with several
thousand more women Ind chill
dren leaving for the east coast

STATE AUDITOR MAKES
CHANGE IN BOOKKEEPING
System Simplified in Order to Speed
Up Efficiency.

Simplification of bookkeeping
systems in the state auditors office,
has resulted in a marked speeding
up of efficiency, Gov. McNutt said
yesterday in his weekly radio ad-
dress.
A modern system of bookkeeping
was set up in order to maintain a
careful check on expenditures, and
to make available to the public
pertinent data on the states
finances, Gov. McNutt said.
The revised system simplifies pro-
cedure, he said, because it divides
the many funds handled by the state
into five logical major divisions:
General fund appropriations, gener-
al rotary funds, highways funds, spe-
cial funds and distribution funds.
The balance in the general fund
was $7,191 ,285 as of Dec. l, Gov. Nc
Mutt said.
