WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-(A3)-
The reconstruction finance corpor-
ation 'tonight had the.thing most
necessary for its existence-money
-and expected to have the men
who will lend the funds to business
in a day or two.
The Senate is expected to supply
that lack, just as today it receded
from a minor amendment to give
the corporation its initial working
capital of $500,000,000.
Quick Confirmation Expected.
The names of Charles Gates
Dawes, corporation president, and
Jesse H. Jones, of Texas,, and Har-
vey C. Couch, of Arkansas, direc-
tors, are before it and quick con-
firmation is expected.
Meanwhile, the President s e n t
another recommendation' for legis-
lation for business aid to Congress
by proposing that government de-
partments be authorized to give
preference to American materials,
even though foreign firms submit
lower bids.
Reconstruction h a s dominated
Congress all session, and with bills
to aid depositors and creditors of
insolvent banks shaping. themselves
before Senate banking sub-commit-
tees, the sway may continue.
A Senate committee is also cosid-
ering President Hoover's proposal
for a system of banks to lend money
to home owners and builders but
it may find a good many obstacles
ahead of it.
Discuss Agricultural Bill.
The HIouse today discussed the
agricultural supply bill. -It was
amended to prohibit federal road
aid to states where convicts are
employed on the highways.
The House naval committee had
disposed, of the $616,250,000 con-
struction bill but it turned to an
investigation of the giant airship,
Akron, with Rear Admiral William
A. Moffett, chief of the naval bur-
eau of aeronautics, describing it as
the best airship ever built.
Busy framing a tax program, the
House ways and means committee
decided to begin next Tuesday on
proposals to levy on oil. imports,
electrical power and all natural and
manufactured gas.

Besides being a journalist and
editor, Mr. Kennedy is also a radio
announcer, conducting each week
five-minute radio talks, a feature
termed by one of the large metro-
politan newspapers as the "biggest
little feature on the air."
Mr. Kennedy's specialty, however,
is in the subject of personalities. He
holds what is believed to be a re-
cord for "interviews," with all types
of people. It is of the qualities mak-
ing up the term "personality" that
Mr. Kennedy will discuss tonight.

Michigan Daily Not Official Organ
of University, Says Angell in Talk
The Michigan Daily is a student
newspaper, not an official organ
of the University of Michigan, and
its policy in no manner reflects the
attitude of the administration,
Prof. Robert C. Angell, of the So-
ciology department, and chairman
of the Board in Control of Student
Publicaions, said yeserday.
Speaking over WJR in a Univer-
sity-of-the-air broadcast, Professor
Angell declared that undue criti-
cism had been directed in the past
at the University because the pub-
lic assumed that the policies of The
Daily were those of the University.
These policies, he continued, are
