Such a bill | expressing the views of both the Pres- | icent and the committee is now under consideration. * * | Personally I prefer to proceed with | the salary cut and President Hoover's employment proposal on Tuesday, but I wish to co-operate and will not press my personal preference should the com- mittee deem the other method neces- sary “What I want President’s Statement. | The President’s statement. which, it | was explained at the White House, was given in reply to many telegraphic in- | guiries, follows in fu | “The omnibus bill for amendment to | the various laws to permit duction of Government expenses yond_those which can be effect the Executive and the Committees should ulti expenditures by upward of §: and possibly $250.000.000 The bill represents matters discusced b joint s of the administration’s representati and the Houge Economy Committee, not all the provisions being zgreed upon by all the conferees, and cne of the dif ferences in view referring to the han dling of Fede: plove questions. e following des { eflects o e-day week stagge plan’ is given in reply to a great many telegraphic and other inquirles 50 as 000,000 225 la la Provisions of Plan. “This plan provides for one year “1.

It is prorated to all officials from cabinet officers down to persons receiv- | ing $1,200 per annum. and provides against hardships to those receiving be- tween $1,200 and $2,500. “D. It provides a saving of $80.000,- 000 to $82,000,000 as against $67,000,000 on.a straight pay cut basis $E. With the cuts in departmental appropriations now under discussion in Congress, a number, possibly as many as 10,000 out of the million Govern- ment. emploges, would need to be dis- charged. Under this plan, however, many substitutes will be required in| #he continuous services which would enable the retention of these other- week in the Government this it is estimated to 35.000 further substitutes would be needed, thus contributing to reduce un- | employment.
