COLD SWEEPS EAST
ACROSS COUNTRY
By UNITED PRESS

Snow-blocked roads, ice-glazed
streets, piercing winds, Arctic
cold and floods were on the win
ter weather map of the entire
eastern half of the United States
today. At least six deaths were
added to the weather's toll.
The peril of a coal shortage be-
came increasingly serious in
many sections. Iowa has been
without an adequate supply of
coal for more than a week; trans
portation tieups and the severe
cold cut supplies to the danger
point in parts of Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan, Missouri, Kentucky and
Massachusetts,.
A bitter northwest wind swept
a new cold wave down from the
Canadian northwest, across the
midwest and toward the east.
Snow, which stalled trains and
blocked highways, drifted back
again after plows dug out main
transportation lines.
Auto crashes on highways
swirling with snow took one life
in Wisconsin and one in Chicago.

SPENDING PLANS CUT
BY BILLION DOLLARS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. (UP)
President Roosevelt mas tenta-
lively arranged for a further
study Of the general problem Of
taxes at this session Ut congress.
He has asked his fiscal aides to
call at the White House today if
they can assemble the necessary
data tor q further survey OF the
situation in view OF the twin con-
gressional movements against new
taxes and for initiation.
1t was indicated the emphasis
would be placed on substitute
taxes to finance the new farm
program, the needs Of which are
generally estimated at about
$4,000 900, and on legislation
seeking to recover. $500, 100000
in impounded processing levies,
returned 70 professors by order
of the United States supreme
court.
President Roosevelt last night
trimmed $1,000, 100000 from po-
tential government loans, declar-
ing the new move was justified by
the nations continued economic
recovery.
simultaneously he disclosed he
had summoned heads Of the gov
ernment's spending agencies to
White House conference on
Thursday to obtain an up-to-the-
minute check on federal expendi-
lures.
These steps, he said, did not
mean necessarily a Tightening"
of the governments purse strings.
They were closely scrutinized,
however, in the light of infla-
ton agitation, weakness of the
dollar abroad and a rebellion in
congress against imposition Of
new taxes to finance the new
100000 farm program and
the $2,237,000,000 soldier bonus.
Mr.. Roosevelt's disclosures
came at his press conference. af-
ter he had spent an hour with
heads of the governments lending
agencies.

b0RAH PLANS
. RACE IN Ohio
Announcement For Presi-
dental Primary There
His First Formal Step

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. (UP)
Senator William E. Borah, veter-
an progressive Republican, yester-
day announced his candidacy for
Republican nomination for presi-
dent. The senator said he would
contest the May IL Ohio presi-
Dental primary. He will stand as
a liberal Republican.
Borah has given informa lau-
thorization to Borah-for-P President
movements in half a dozen states,
including Wisconsin, New York,
Pennsylvania and Illinois. But
yesterdays announcement was
the first formal acknowledgment
Of his candidacy for the Republi-
can nomination.
Borah has been a factor in the
presidential picture since last
August when a poll of Republi-
can county chairmen and other
local leaders revealed him to be
a long-odds favorite for the NOM
nation. The Borah platform as it
has unfolded on and off the sem
ate floor is as follows:
1. Selection of liberal conven-
ton delegates to nominate lib
eral candidate and write a liberal
platform.
2. Orderly expansion of cur
rency adequately backed by gold
reserves.
8. Acceptance of the theory
that unemployment relief is large
ly federal problem.
a. Balancing the budget when
feasible by federal economy.
5. Aiding the farmer by curb
ing industrial monopoly, restor-
ing purchasing power and re-fi-
nancing farm indebtedness.
6. Strict observance of consti-
tutional limitations upon federal
authority subject, always, to
change in the constitution by
popular action.
7. Absolute non-interference in
European affairs.
8. Unemployment and an old
age pension system to give each
aged pensioner $50 a month.
Borah described his announce
ment as a challenge to the "old
guard" G. o. P. leadership in
general. He said the Ohio "old
guard" was planning to send to
the Republican national conven-
ton a conservative and reaction
airy delegation either uninstructed
or pledged to a favorite-son can
didate.
