As, Believed Drowned
Accidentally.

The body Of John Donley. 45-year-
old World War veteran, drowned in
the Tidal Basin, remained at the
District Morgue today while police en-
deavored to locate a brother in Pitts
burgh.
Donley was found near the basin
food gate yesterday. Coroner A. Ma
gruder Macdonald estimated the body
had been in the water about "a hours.
DR.. Macdonald said the drowning
apparently was accidental. but he has
not completed his investigation. He
learned Donley served as a machine
gunner in France during the war. The
veteran had received $700 in bonus
bonds.
His billfold contained s1S in cash,

Veterans Bonus Army" newspaper
clippings dealing with the bonus, a
pawn shop receipt for a watch and
chain and a picture of himself and a
woman, DR.. Macdonald said.

Public Shooting Ground To

In Announcement

Dw I q UASE N1RNVWF

Raleigh Sept. 11.-Portions of Lake
Mattamuskeet, one of the most inn
portant wintering grounds for migra-
tory waterfowl on the Atlantic coast,
which have been open to shooting
during previous seasons, will again
be set aside as public hunting grounds
j. D. Clark, State game and inland
fisheries commissioner said today.
The lake areas, consisting of two
portions one on each side of the huge
body of fresh water, will be operated
for the third year as public shooting
grounds under the direction of the
Department of Conservation and De-
velopment. They consist of two tracts
of approximately 5000 acres each.
While complete regulations govern
ing hunting on the lake have not yet
been approved, Mr.. Chalk indicated
that they will be for the most part
the same as during the two previous
seasons. The rigid federal regulations
recently promulgated with additional
special ru4. LOB lie lake, will be en-
:orced
Oscar Chadwick, who has served
previously in the same capacity, will
continue as chief warden at the lake.
All guides are required to have Spe-
cial licenses for conducting hunting
parties and there will be a definite
schedule of fees which may be charg
ed. Each guide is also held respon-
sible for the observance of the law by
hunters who are served by him.
Under arrangements with the U. S.
Biological Survey, fishing on the lake
will also be continued under the SUI
pervision of the State Department Of
Conservation and Development, Mr.
Chalk said.
Since the number of hunters per-
mitted on the grounds will be limit
ed, the commissioner advised that re-
servations be made early either thro-
ugh the division of game and inland
fisheries at Raleigh or the chief war
den at New Holland. Early applica-
tants will be given preference, the
commissioner asserted.

Squad Looked Rather Light
to New Mentor, Some Let

About 80 candidates reported to
Coach Bing Miller at Henderson high
school yesterday afternoon for the
initial football drill, and the work.
out was had at League Park, the
schools athletic field being high in
weeds and unfit for use.
Coach Miller stated today that he
was favorably impressed with the
turnout of candidates, and, while
they seemed rather light, he felt that
he could turn out a fair team for the
local institution.
A number of last years lettermen
did not report, due to work, but will
be available after the opening of city
schools.
Il drill was to be had today, and
athletic officials are hoping to have
the athletic field at the school in
shape early next week in order that
the squad may workout there.

forces and conditions, both in Amer
ica and in the world, which can only
be escaped by intelligence. wisdom
and patience. And even those quali-
ties will hardly be enough. We shall
need, in addition, an awful lot OF
good luck.
Information or surmises about Mr..
Roosevelt's intentions constitutes
most Of the light that any one can
have on Washington. The Congress
that will meet in January will have
little weight for the present. Any
Importance in that quarter must de-
velop later. They are not made with
affection for the President. and they
wish that his majority had been less
overwhelming. But they will do what
he asks them TO do. They think.
as most Of Washington does, that the
requests OF the President for legisla-
ton will be reasonably conservative.
But whatever the President asks the
immense Democratic majority will be
likely to give.
What is written here may be mis-
leadingly overweighted on one side.
Those who report the President to be
more conservative say, nevertheless,
that he still believes in planned
economy" They hope, however, that
events will drive this out of his mind.
They hope either that Mr.. Roosevelt
will find planned economy for America
to be impossible or that prosperity

Most OF this confidence is based
on information and judgment about
what the President Is likely to do.
BY public declarations, and even more
strongly by private statements, Mr..
Roosevelt mas convinced many that
his jor course in the near future
will be in the direction of what
military terminology calls "mopping
up" and consolidating the advance"
He has convinced persons difficult to
convince. 1t is impossible to doubt
that he is genuinely concerned about
the unbalance of the budget. and
about the inefficient administration OF
much OF the New Deal. About the
latter point. persons who have talked
with him report that he understands
as we'll as any critic the fact that
much Of the sprawling administration
of the Government is a sad mess
They say he knows just what are the
causes, where the loose wheels are.
who are the misfits, and what ought
to be done.
Puts Faith In Tax Returns.
In trying to accomplish a balanced
. budget, the President relies almost
! wholly on increase of tax revenue from
expanded business activity. He does
not rely much on reduction Of Gov
ernment expenditures. When the
| President took this line in some of
his campaign speeches. many supposed
that on the eve OF election he was
reluctant to emphasize reduction in
Government expenditures. which might
ALLEVIATE groups Of voters who are BEN
eficiaries OF the expenditures. Appar-
emily. however the President really
| believes that balance of the budget
can be achieved almost wholly by the
increase OF returns from taxation. He
relies on expanded business prosperity
to do two things: First to produce
more taxes: second to absorb much
OF the unemployment which is large
cause Of Government expense. Aside
from this, he seems to think that cor
rection Of maladministration will
achieve as much reduction Of Govern
ment expenses as Is necessary.
