Drastic Reduction In Big Six Athletic Budget Suggested
Minor Sports Curtailmen Offered by Directors As Instrument of Economy
PLAN HITS OFFICIALS
Kansas City, Dec. 8. —(UP)—Recam-
mendations made by the Big Six alti-
tel directors meeting were to be pre-
sented to faculty representatives to ap-
peal for funding. The directors would effect a saving $50,
100 to the conference schools.
Cut Sport Expenses
The curtailment of minor sports move was forced, the directors said, because of the drop in football receipts this year.
Included in the program mapped out by the directions, we plans to absorb all of those issues, including, track, tennis, and wrestling and to drop round-robin schedules in baseball, wrestling and tennis, continental tennis, and the pay of officials. It was pointed out that officials receive $25 each for basketball games, and $50 each for foot-basketball games.
While the faculty representatives are busy with the recommendations, the athletic directors will turn their attention to making football and track more engaging. The coach may be made to use only three officials in football games, and one in basketball.
A suggestion that admission prices to football games be reduced was made by Benny Owen, Oklahoma, and Mike Ewing. They were of the opinion that broadcasting games helped the crowd. However they did not give the players a palpability in the games over the air.

Missouri Players Comment
Reply Unofficially to Charges Made Against Football
Columbia, Dec. 8—(UP)—University of Missouri football players commented but refused to be quoted on the charge of "hooliganism" against their newspaper that "football was brutal and played for the entertainment of spectators and the profits of the coach."
The "sem-professional racket" which was another editorial featured in the Spectator early in the season, met with players who were older than ever, who are more than ever convinced that football players should be allowed to play for the "seams" run through the Missouri Tigers.
"Football is no more dangerous than some other sports, was the opinion of a Missouri line star." If an athlete does not get hurt during a stunner, the standrd little chance of being injured."
Not a single player favored abolition of football on an intercollegiate sport. But the game itself was under-emphasized here in football was under-emphasized here in Six and Big Ten conferences.
CANT BELIEVE WHAT YOU DON'T SEE IN NEWSPAPER
"The reading of a newspaper," said Professor Harley, "in't so easy or so obvoiu if it is done correctly. In read-ness it can be hard to story; ask yourself what you know about the persons involved; is there any historic parallels to draw with the story? Compare your opinions with those expressed in the editorial column."
"You cannot believe what you do not use in the newspaper. Newspapers have to be written with a language and department of journalism, who spoke to the freshman engineers this morning."
PRESIDENT ASKS FOR ACCEPTANCE OF TAX INCREASE
Proposes National Reconstruction Finance Corporation in Rehabilitation of Business
CONFIDENT OF FUTURE
By Raymond Clapper. fs17
Hoover Praises High Courage and Resourcefulness of Americans
Those two proposals were the conquestion of the president's program given to congress today in the meat industry. The executive has delivered since the war.
By Raymond Clapper, f5.1
Washington, Dec. 8-19)—President Howard today asked the people to accept a two-year increase in taxes and national reconstruction finance corporation to aid in rehabilitation of business
The time has come for aggressive,eward action, the president mandated in 2013 that country's ability largely to overcome he depression regardless of conditions and to be more resilient.
"All that is needed is to revive confidence," he said, "summer coupons and determination, loosen credit and move on." He has resources and stores of money.
He emphasized that aid to the railroads must form a part of the reconstruction program as they affect the vitals of the country's economic life.
He proposed a temporary tax increase to end July 1, 1984 which, it is unofficially estimated, would amount to $5 billion. The state officials were reserved for a later time, but Mr. Obama gave a general warning that the economy was on an increased emergency burden due to the sharp decline in tax revenues. He also said that the lack of economic recovery is financial stability of the United States government he said. "I must at this time declare that I am willing to defend deficits which have developed and the resulting necessity for determined and responsible action."
Proposes Temporary Tax
Would Cut Government Expenses
He said there must be insistent and determined reduction in government expenses and that the deficit must be partially met by borrowing for an at-risk government, increased taxes "would retard recovery."
He would fix the tax increase so as to balance the budget for the year be expected to fall. The state debt retirement this would require about $21,000,000. A net increase in the national debt of $171,136,000 would be indicated for the current fiscal year, now almost half over, so that the projections will be expected to ever that amount in full.
The additional taxation should be imposed solely as an emergency measure to the government from July 1 next. Mr. Hoover said, "Such a basis will give confidence in the determination of the government and taxpayers of its temporary character."
"Even with increased taxation, the government will reach the utmost safe level of tariffs and other expenditures for which we are already obligated and the recommendations here proposed. To go further than that, we need to increase taxes, or borrowing will destroy confidence, demute commerce and industry of its resources, jeopardize the financial system, and actually extend a ban on agricultural rather than relieve it."
Sees Financial Recovery
Mr. Hoover also presented the team outline of an emergency "reconstruction corporation" like the former war finance corporation. It would finance the construction of new ways and financial institutions and would be liquidated after two years. "We must put some steel beams in the ground to create a credit structure," the president said.
"The very existence of such a bulwark will strengthen confidence" he said, urging the weak spots thus to liberate the full strength of the nation's re-
Without making predictions, Mr Hoover indicated confidence in the future.
"The time is ripe for forward action to expedite our recovery," he said. "If we can mobilize the workforce and can ameliorate the financial situation in the railways, I am confident we can make a large measure of investment in this world. A strong America is the highest contribution to world stability." Mr. Hayoow declared he was opposed by the United States government.
"Such action would disturb industry, business and agriculture," he said. "It would prolong the depression."
