WASHINGTON, July 19 UP) White
House officials made known late to
day that President Hoover would not
place Ills signature upon the 92,122,
000,000 relief bill before tomorrow,
thereby allowing him more time to
complete plans for reorganization of
the reconstruction finance corpora
tion. By J. II. Jenkins
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
WASHINGTON, July IB UP) Thirty
states today had signified the prob
ability that they will ask a portion
of the t300.000.000 provided In the
closing hours of congress for direct
relief of unemployment.
The first eight definitely to Indi
cate ijhs amounls needed- gave a
total of $117,050,000 to be asted Im
mediately. Governor Plnchot, of
Pennsylvania, has written the Re
construction corporation, asserting
his state needs a45.000.000 and Repre
sentative Britten said Illinois doubt
less will need as much.
The fund Is to be distributed In
the form of loans to states which will
distribute the money among their
relief agencies.
Hoover to Sign Hill
President Hoover planned to sign
the bill toJay. Immediately after
ward the corporation is expected to
formulate regulations under which
applications are to be made by the
governors of the states.
Although no method of procedure
would be outlined -now by the cor
poration, it was regarded there as
likely that the directorate would
waive Its rule that loan applications
must be made to the nearest of the
33 district offices.

RAILROAD ON
HOBO QUESTION
Close supervision of outgoing
freight trains by Union Pacific agents
has increased the transient problem
in the city to such an extent that
tho governor's relief committee plans
to petition the railway officials. The
transients arrive :n La Grande on
every freight train, and are not al
lowed to leave via the same route,
and therefore are forced to stay In
La Grande, or walk to Kamela, It Is
reported.
The committee plans to ask the
officials either to relax their vigi
lance here or to take measures to
keep the transients from entering the
city.
City Manager A. McAllister states
that from one to 30 are housed in
the city Jail every night, while many
others spend the night in the "hobo
Jungles" at the edge of town.'
