HOOVER WANTS INCREASED 1931 BUILDING PLAN
No. 64
President Asks $1,000,000 to $150,000,000 to Aid Employment in Annual Message to Congress
FARMERS CONSIDERED
Cautions Congress on Condition of Federal Treasury; Says Tax Reduction Cannot Be Continued
By Paul R. Mallon
United Press Stain Correspondent
Howard Tower asked Congress today to
appropriate at once $100,000,000 to
$150,000,000 to aid employment by
accelerating construction on rivers and
highways during the next six months.
In his annual message on the state of the union, the President also requested a sufficient appropriation for crops to farmers suffering from drought.
Recognizing the necessity for then increased expenditures, Mr. Hoover aides the senate and the senate about the condition of the federal treasury, depleted during the 1970s.
Indirectly, he assumed the one per cent tax reduction could not be continued and directly he advised the most rigid economy in order to avoid the necessity of any increase in taxes. Prohibition was not mentioned by him, but he did send his message under the heading, "Eco nomic Situation" and "Agriculture."
Advises Rigid Economy
"Our economic troubles," the President said, are but a passing worldwide phase. They are not as bad as some would make out. There has been a slight increase in only 15 to 29 per cent since 1928, the peak year of prosperity," he said.
Co-operation and co-ordination are more needed than legislation or executive action, the Executive told the legislators.
Money Should Not Be Hoarded
"Economic wounds must be healed by the actions of the cells of the ecosystem that protect the samers themselves," he added. "Recovery can be expedited and its effects measured."
"That co-operation requires that every individual should sustain faith and responsibility to maintain his self-reliance; that each and every one should search for methods of improving his business or services; that each individual should be unimpaired not should board out of fear but should pursue their normal living and recreation; that each should have the opportunity to be less fortunate; that each industry should assist its own employees; that each country in which it can fulfill its full responsibilities for organization of employment and relief of distress with that sturdiness and independence which built our great nation."
Mr. Hoover told what he had done during the summer, while Congress was not in session. He said the leading employers had agreed with him to establish national and local governments have agreed with business to distribute employment. Public works have been crowded along at as swift a pace as possible without enlarged appropriations. Local committees to organize employer unions.
"Further than that which already has been done, about all congress can do new is to expand the construction program," the President continued.
"I have canvassed the department of the government as to the maximum amount that can be properly added to our present expenditures to accelerate growth and progress over the months," he said, "and I feel warranted in asking the congress for this appropriation of from $100,000,000 to $190,000,000 for further employment in this emergency."
"In connection herewith we need some authority to make enlarged temporary advances cf. federal highway aid to the states.

BOARD ADOPTS RESOLVE MADE BY CONFERENCE
Resolution Says Athletes to Participate in Inter-Collegiate Events Cannot Receive Subsidy
K. U. AWAITS DECISIONS
Final Interpretation of Tangle Probably to Be Made Friday at Meeting of Faculty Representatives
In a statement issued yesterday after a three hour meeting of the University of Kansas athletic board it was officially announced that Friday in a meeting of the Big Six conference Committee at Kansas City had approved the ban on the board. The statement follows.
"A meeting of all the members of the University of Kansas athletic board this afternoon approved the adoption of the resolution recommended at the meeting. The athletic managers, and faculty, representatives, by a unanimous vote.
"The resolution referred to follows "Resolved, that it is the game, and will be the policy of the M. V. I. A. A. That we shall not interfere in the intercollegiate events of this association shall not receive any waivers, either directly or indirectly, or any advance payment for such an event any source. This policy shall not be interpreted to prevent any student from obtaining legitimate employment at a university and current rates for service rendered.
No Comment Made
"That the membership in the M. V. L. A. A. be limited to the institutions subscribing and adhering to this policy"
1.
None of the board members would comment on the meeting yesterday, which occupied a full three hours of meeting. The board may be construed to mean that Kansas is bidining her time until the end of real life of the Big Six schools are known
Whether or not this decision of the athletic board will effect the eligibility of Kansas students is not definitive known. It does, however, place the rest of the big Six schools in a rather peculiar position. Firstly, the university will be virtually an admission that the former conference rating regarding the state's academic programs in these schools was entirely inadequate to meet the Kansas situation, necessitating either a re-evaluation or could be made in apply to Kansas.
On the other hand, if the ruling is rejected by some of the schools the supposition may be made that their attitude is still antagonistic, and not in line with respect to policy, which the conferment will take on Friday, of peaceful conciliation.
Either way the stand which Kansas has taken can only be construed to mean that Kansas is still ancient in her desire for a general investigation of the law she教授, Prof. W. A. Tarr of Missouri stirred up so much state in the conference.
Attack a Definite Class
The charge of the rules, as embodied in the adopted resolution, seems to be an effort to attack a definite class of athletes in intercollegiate athletics. Whether or not this change will affect such institutions, such institution's not known, however.
The final interpretation of the whole triangle, especially that of the pending resolution, will probably be made at a news conference in Kansas City Friday. The meeting, which will be in the Kansas City Athletic Club, is scheduled for 9 a.m. Friday from the University; will leave Friday morning to attend the conference.
