HOUSE COMMITTEE'
OUTLINES EDER AL
EXPENSECUT PLAN
Appropriations for Next Year1
Lower Than Before,
Says Wood.
BUILDING PLAN PUSHED
Low Prices to Make Extensive
Construction Program
Possible.
(By Assocated Press)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. - The
plan of the House appropriations
committee to curtail government
expenses andrat the same time al-
low funds for public bulding pro-
grams to decrease unemployment
was outlined today by Chairman
Wood as the group began formu-
lating supply bills for the next fis-
cal year.E
"The total appropriations for the
coming fiscal year," Wood said,
"should be lower than for the pres-
ent period provided there are no
extraordinary items which an elab-
orate public building program
might upset."
The total for this year was $4,-
872,401,096, including over $800,000,
000 for the postal service. The ag-
gregate for the new fiscal year
should be less, Wood said.
Will Save Money.
"We expect to save money this
year," Chairman Wood said. "The
appropriations committee will hew
pretty close to the line. We expect
to keep expenditures below the
budget estimate as we always have
done."
Woods said, "This is a good time
for the government to push. -its
public buildings program," and ad-
ded, "there may be some substan-
tial outlay for new projects."
"With the present prices of build-
ing materials," he continmed,'
"many of the existing projects will
cost less than the amount author-
ized by Congress. In addition to
being able to procure building ma-
terials at lownprices now, the gov-
ernment will be able to provide
employment for many men, there-
by contributing to relief of the ex-
isting economic conditions."
May Issue Bonds.
In answer to a question, Wood
said the treasury might resort to
issuance of short term bonds to en-
able the government to carry for-
ward a public building program
without increasing taxes. He noted
the present interest rate would be
advantageous for the government
to borrow money in this manner,
whereas an increase in taxation by
elimination of the one per cent in
tax reduction granted last year
by Congress would have an ude-
sirable effect on business.

Si'cnt Pending Report
of Commission.
(Bv Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Wets
nd drys joined today in a call for
showdown on prohibition in the
932 presidential campaign as the
anxious leaders of the divided.
arties look hopefully to the busy l
aw enforcement commission for a
olution.
Representative Beedy, Republi-
can, Maine, a prohibition advocate,
accepted the demand of James W.
Wadsworth, former Republican
;enator from New York and a
champion for repeal, that the pro-
hibition issue be thrashed out in
932.
May Split Party.
As the wet and dry enthusiasts
warmed up to the prohibition is-
sue which already has become a
trap to the unity of the Republi-
can party and is regarded as a
menace of the same kind to the
Democrats, the leaders themselves
took to silence.
Senator Fess, of Ohio, the chair-
man of the Republican national
committee, and an avowed prohibi-
tion advocate, observed that he had
spoken in an individual capacity
rather than as party chairman
when he recently espoused a mobil-
izatilon of the drys.
Fess May Resign.
In face oftheademands of Wads-
worth and Representative Britten,
Republican, Illinois, that he resign
as party chairman, Senator Fess
stood his ground but there is a be-
lief among his intimates that Fess
would quit the party post rather
than be silent in any wet and dry
battle of national scope.

oon and will speak on "Press, Poli-
ics, and Prisons," a subject with

ip Muncie, Ind., the "Middletown"
f sociological fame, through the
nedium of his little newspaper, the
ost-Democrat, was clearly depict-
,d.
To quote part of the "Editor and
?ublisher" version, Dale "spit in the
ye of every public official in Mun-
ie, whose dealings were the slight-
st bit crooked" and in doing so he
reated a strife between corruption
and the power of the press which
inally ended in a series of con-
empt suits. The New York World,
Attracted by the valiant battle
which Dale was fighting with h3
poor little weekly newspaper, gave
him financial support in his casei
through subscription and enabled
him to overcome one of the bitter-
est oppositions in journalistic his-
tory. Dale's case was taken to the
supreme court and the judge who
sentenced him came within three
votes of impeachment.
Other Speakers Name.
Last year Dale was elected mayor
of Muncie by an overwhelming ma-
jority and his first act of office was
to dismiss the entire police force
which had caused him such untold
grief and had opposed him through-
out his fight against corruption.

Lee A. White, .of the Detroit News,

(By Assocjated Prrss)
GENEVA, Switzerland, Nov. 12.-
Delegates to the League of Nations'
preparatory disarmament commis-
sion continued deadlocked today on
a plan of limiting land and air
armaments.
Hugh S. Gibson, American reprc-
sentative, in reiterating the opposi-
tion of the United States to limita-
tion by fixing a budget of expendia
tures, suggested if the other pow-
ers wished to draw up a treaty
based on budgetary limitations
while leaving the United States
free to use her own method of
direct limitation with full publicity,
the plan would be acceptable to
the United States.
Spokesmen for several nations
made friendly references to the
American compromise plan today,
although the French delegate,
Massigli, was very critical of it,
contending budgetaryslimitation,
while not perfect, was the best
available method of achieving lim-
itation.
