28 HODVERINPROVES | CO0LOGE EEONDNY Thirty Per Cent Cut in White House and Executive Of- fice Budget for 1931. The customary calm of Calvin Cool- idge must have received a terrible shock yesterday when he picked up the newspaper from his doorstep in Northampton, Mass.. and read that the estimates for the White House and EX- ecutive Office for the next fiscal year are 30 per cent less than the $611944 appropriated ifor the current year, As far as percentages go, 30 per _cent 1s a very sizeabl> cut, and Citizen Cool- idge, who probably gave more thought to cuts and economizing than to any one other thing while he was President, | no doubt is still wondering how Presi- NEW SNAKEHOUSE FOR THE THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D: C., SEPEEMBER 29,..1929—PART 1.

Another perplexing feature of the White House estimates is the fact that the increase in clerks and stenogra- phers and messengers since the advent of Mr. Hoover makes no appreciable ! difference in the total estimate for office salaries. | The explanation of this is that the additions to the office force have been | borrowed, so to speak, from some one | of the departments, and these clerks | are being carried on the rolls of the latter.
