PRESIDENT SANS QUTLODK FOR 1085 Re-examination of U. S. Ac- tivities Being Made in Economy Program. President Hoover, while calling for! rigid economy in the new budget esti- mates, has ordered a re-examination of all Federal activities to determine whether it would be practicable for the Government to undertake further public | works projects io relizve unemployment Tn recent weeks, as the depression | hung on, the administration has re-‘ ceived complaints that the Government was not creating as much work as it could. Insofar as the protests called for additional projects, the President’s response in many instances has been to ask complainants to suggest where- in the Government could do more. Among the various resulting proposals was one for creating a system of four transcontinental motor highwa An- other celled for “cle’ning up” the natiohal parks. A third proposed a mational home-building movement. Project Found Impractical. The four-way highway project was studied, it is understood, anu found mpracticable. The Fresident is said to have been convinced its value to the Nation would be far from commensu- | rate with the enormous cost. Figures | are understood to have been laid be- | fore the administration showing not more tean 20,000 motor cars cross the continent annualiy. As trunk line highways, it was estimated, these roads could not be expected to serve an area of more than 30 miles on either side. The clean-up of n:tional parks is understood to have involved changes, such as removal of underbrush, which park authorities thought would destroy the nature of the parks. Whether the President passed a final judgment on the home-building project, high ad- ministration officials declare it would be uneconomic. Some of these offi- cials believe a project of the kind pro- posed would tend to impair permanent economic rehabilitation, The exact nature of the projects proposed has not been stated: in fact, there has been no official announce- ment about any of them or of the fact of the President's study. Job Possibilities Studied. ‘Mr. Hoover, meanwhile, is pressing his examination of the general field of governmental construction activity to be sure that the administration is o looking no possibilities for providing jobs. At the same time, the President has ordered a complete check-up of the progress on all projects authorized in the Government's $700,000,000 emer- gency program. This is to asceriain whether there have been any unjusti- flable delays and, if any, the reason therefor. It follows criticism, shared by even such staunch administra.ion sugpoiters as Senator Hiram Bingham, wepub- lican, of Connecticut, that Government red tape has slowed up much of the work Congress and the President au- thorized, so that all the additional em- ployment that was expected has not materialized. The President, it is learned. means to take action to break through such red tape wherever possible. In his letter to Government Depart- ments and independent establishments calling for reduction in expenditures be- low the original estimates as of July 1, the President specifically excepted those directly contributing to the public wel- fare in time of depression. On the other hand, the need for meeting the demands of hard times is bringing stronger administration pressure for economy in other directions. Speculation in Navy. Whether the renewed economy drive, occasioned now by the preliminaries of preparing _the budget for the fiscal year to begin July, 1, 1932, will seriously af- fect projected naval construction was » subject of speculation in naval quar- i s, ‘e ihile the budget officers at one end of the Navy Department Building are working vigorously to meet the Presi- dent's demands for further economies, the Navy General Board is meeting daily at the other end to complete their recommendations _for . beginning the construction of the new vesscls the American Navy is authorized under the | London treat g The modesi one-year program which was sent to Congress last Winter never reached the floor of ecither Senate or House. Naval officers contend that if the Navy is to try to attain parity with Great Britain the forthcéming session must authorize the Navy to build at least part of that program and of a sec- ond-year program in addition. 1t was sald at the White House yes- terday that the President's letter re- ferred only to savings in the present fiscal year.

C, JULY 26, 1931—PART ONE. Re]ics Brought to Museum by Maryland Former Student planted Tsansplanting of an aboriginal culture half way sround the world is revealed in an unusual collection just received by the National Museum from an almost unknewn people, the bush Indians of Northern South Amerjca. This collection of articles of magic and of decorations and household im- plements was brought to Washington by W. A. Archer, former University of Maryland student, who went to Co- lumbia as an agricultural teacher and when his contract expired. _Archer pushed his way up ths Choco River, a largely unknown country, where the bush Negroes, descendants of slaves, are the principal inhabit-nts. The collection shows, say National Museum ethnolcgists, that these people preserved almost intact the art and | folkways of the Congo jungl:s, in spite | of their violent transition. The deli- cate wood carving, considered highly artistic, is almost a duplicate of what might have been found in the Congo villages of 200 years ago. The magical | implements show th- peristence of the same fundamental ideas of nature, Clash With Indians. When the bush Negroes began to | establish themselves in the Choco coun- | try, it was pointed out, they clashcd with the Indians and evidently came out ahead. They took over everything worth while in the Indian arts without giving up anything of their own. This | indicates, it was pointed out, that they | probably wers & people of superior in- telligence and development. This cuiture, according to Herbert Krieger, curator of ethnolosy, appears to be far ‘purer than that of the Negro population of Haiti, which is overladen | with ideas d-rived from the white men and which has attracted much attention of late years because of its sensational religious and magical rites. In the Chozo country, he explained, tae bush! Negroes app-ar to have set up again the | identical Congo gods. | A notable obje-t collected by Archer is a medicine boat filled with figurines who are belleved to carry awaw the £pirits responsib’e for various illnesses. This he recovered in the hut of & native whose children were usine the figurines | for dolls and already had lost some of them. Accessions of Significance. Some of the most significant of the recent accessions to the museum collec- ticn have besn found in the material gathered by the late Victor J. Evans.! Among the articles are plaster models | tak-n from life of Two-Guns White Calf, famous B'ackfoot Indian, and of Reveals Trans-_- Culture. ‘l I the famous Sloux chieftain, Sitting Bull. The latter is now dead, but Two-Guns still comes to Washington and visits te museum occasionally. His chief occupa- tion now, museum officials say, is ad- vertising Glacier National Park. Another valuab'e part of the Evans collection is composed of the sacred rel- ics of the Delaware Indians. These in. clude a silver pipe given to the chiefs of the tribe, thon inhabiting Ohio, as | a peace offeying by Gen. William Hopry Harrison, later to b>come President. In addition ' there are other ceremonial pipes, war clubs and talismen. There is also a va'uabls collection of Indlan jewe'ry gathered from the Navajo, Pueblo and Aracanian Tribes. Collection of Dresses. Miss Frances Densmor2 of the Bureau of American Ethnology has’ just sent to the museum a collection of ‘the dresses of Seminole women which she gathered while studying the native music in Florida last Winter. It is curlous. Mr. Krieger points out, that this swamp- dwelling people have developed &0 re- thing strikingly like the costumes of European peasant women, embroidering highly colored cotton cloth with geo- metric figures which look like picto- graphs. This Is largely a development of the recent past, since the Seminoles split off from the Creek tribe when the latter were removed to the Oklahoma reservation, The museum also has just received a unique example of highly artistic imita- tion bead work made of porcupine | quills by some Indian tribe in the in- terior of British Colurnbia. This, Mr. Kri>ger says, was an independently de- veloped . American art which hitherto has been practically unknown to science. | The resemblance to bead work is so | close as to puzzle experts and the sacret | of how the porcupine quills were strung together was found only after close ex- amination. Honduran Coast Materials. Another valuable recent accesion is a quantity of material from the almost mythical Mosquito Indians of the Hon- duras coast. This consists of decorated gourds, hammocks, fish arrows and spears, believed to be quite similar to those in use among the West Indian natlves when they were first seen by white men. The museum also has received a large amount of material from the Bagobo tribé of the island of Mindanao in the Philippines, consisting of brass imple- ments, betel nut boxs, rice chow pots, and some wierd baskets used by the head hunters to carry their gruesome trophies.

Members of prosecution have never made public detailed accusations against the five in the case, which is to be called Monday. However, securities substitutions, cashing of personal notes, overdrafts and issuances by the bank to Lea of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of blank certificates of deposits are known to be alleged.

With a foreword by Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of the Interior, the third annual' edition of the American Civic Annual, gdited by Miss Harlean | James, executiv® secretary of the Amer- ican Civic Association, is just being dis- tributed to members, Approximately 40 Government offi- clals, city planners, road officials and legislators have contributed to make | this a record of recent civic advance | throughout the country. Each year the | annual takes up a new range of topics | and this yegr it emphasizes, on the | one hand, some of the more stupendour beauties of nature unspoiled, as in the great national parks, and on the other side, the necessity of making the citier more useful, more wholesome and morc | enjoyable by intelligent planning. Introduction by Delano. In the introduction to Frederic A. Delano, president of the American Civic Association, sald: “W¢ want to see evely village and towr preserve all it can of the naturzl ad- vantages of its location. most of its water front on the majestic Hudson, and also of its rocky hills and promontories; that Chiago should play up its wonde:ful shore-front on Lak¢ Michigan: that Washington should con- serve its hills and forested valleys and its river front But this is equally true, to a greater or less degree, of every town and hamlet in our broad, land. Intelligent planning shoulc know how to make the most of these natural resources of our country and preserve the individuality which distin- guiches one town from another. Let ue never suggest that standardization be carried to the absurd extreme that one cannot tell one town from another.” Variety of Discussion. _ The veilonal forests, State reserva- tions, the aroused consciousness in the matter of roadside beauty, are all dis- cussed in the annuzl by the Civic As- sociation family. Secretary Wilbur, in bis foreword, discusses briefly the national parks. There are other arti- cles by Horace M. Albright, director of the National Park Service, and other officials of the Interior Department and State conservation boards. all dealing with the grest park system. What Maryland has done to proteet the natural beauty of its roadsides by legislating to tax and otherwise re ulate bifilbozrds and other forms of dr secrating outdoor advertising is told in articles by Lavinia Engle, member of the Maryland House of Delegates, and another = member, Oliver Metzerott through whose combined efforts the legislation was pessed. Albert S. Bard vice chairmen and general counsel of the National Council for Protection of Roadside Beauty, has also contributed an analysis of the progress in billboard control through court decisions.

WAYNESBORO WILL GET WHIRLPOOL THROWS SHIP OFF COURSE Outward Spinning 0ddity Re- ported by Geodetic Ves- sel Hydrographer. | Discovery .of an outward spinning| whirlpool in the Atlantic Ocean is re- ported by a vessel of the Coast and| Geodetic_Survey.
