ing for a $300,000,000 relief fund and
a $2,000,000,000 public construction
fund.
Under the compromise plan, loans
would be made only on projects
capable of repaying tne funds ex
pended.
The president believes public
works In general have been expend
ed to the limit of their productive
value.
Senate leaders have been in
formed of proposals to Introduce a
new measure providing for the ex
penditure of $5,000,000,000 on all
kinds of public works. The president
was revealed today as opposed to
this and Robinson also is expected
to be against it
The chief executive has had un
der consideration with leaders of
the reconstruction corporation for
more than two weeks a plan for ex
panding its borrowing power.
Dawes, Mills and Meyer have seen
the president frequently during this
period.
Mr. Hoover strongly favors using
the reconstruction corporation for
disbursing new funds for relief and
construction, rather Uian creating a
new organization.
Various administration organiza
tions have completed and submit
ted to government leaders reports
tending--to show that no huge
amount of money will be required
by the states for relief purposes.
The suggestion brought forward to
day of placing reconstruction cor
poration loans to states for relief
purposes at $300,000,000 it Was said.
was done to Insure public confi
dence In fulfilling relief necessities.
in another Quarter It was learned
mac admlnstratlon leaders on Can
ltoi Hill will make a fresh effort to
push the president's plan for a
home loan discount bank system in
conjunction with the present plan.
Enactment of the home loan plan
would complete the president's re
construction program.
As the discussions concluded.
President Hoover in a statement
revealed the aim as being to com
bine, simplify and "put into con
crete form" various relief propo
sals. First of all, however, is plac
ing a balancing of the budget.
Senators Watson, and Robinson,
republican and democrat le leaders
respectively, were visitors at the
White House. Others there were
President Dawes, of the reconstruc
tion corporation, Eugene Meyer,
chairman of the federal reserve
board, and Secretary Mill.
The president went over the
situation separately with Watson at
breakfast and later with Robinson.
Watson stated later a "tentative
agreem" was In prospect.
Robinson yesterday proposed a
two billion dollar bond Issue for
federal construction and $300,000,
000 for assistance to the unem
ployed. He discussed this with the
president.
There is every Indication the
president desires to work the prob
lem out through the two billon dol
lar reconstruction corporation.
A non- partisan relief program is
expected to pry loose the wedge
that will make possible an ad
journment of congress by June 10.
Speaker Garner and Representa-
tlce Snell of New York, -republican
leader of the house, have been in
on the relief consultations, it ial
understood.
The text of President Hoover's
statement follows:
At a conference this morning.

son canvassed the plan of Senator
Kooinson ana. the plans of the
president to provide for relief and
to stimulate enlarged employment.
"Methods were considered of
combining, simplifying and-puttlng
into concrete form the different
proposal- so as to secure united
non-partisan and immediate ac
tion and not to delay completion of
the work at this session.
"The president expressed his high
appreciation. of Senator Robinson's
action in opening the way for unt
ried action and his confidence that
solution will be found.
It waa agreed that the perre-
qulslte of any plan i balancing of
the budget"
The Robinson program calls for a
$300,000,000 relief fund and a $2.

aoaressing tne annual convention
of the nation's doctors hers, paid
tribute to the official state dish of
Louisiana, now made famous in the
United States senate cafeteria in
Washington by Senator Huey P.
Long. .
He said few negroes have appen
dicitis, and one reason la that, tliey
live quit extensively on pot lik
ker.
Dr. Boland urged a change in the
American diet to check the great
Increase in appendicitis in this
country.
He said he found in a survey of
4.270 cases of acute appendicitis in
Atlanta from 1927 to 1931, that
only 286 of the cases were negroes.'
'The reason was that most ne
groes of the south live on a natural
diet of corn bread, peas, cabbage
and pot likker, which is turnip
green juice.
"Twenty years ago appendlclti
was a novelty in this country. Now
it la almost a plague. People eat
things that have been polished,
picked, frozen, thawed and steril
ised." Ha said the death rata from ap
pendicitis had advanced front 9-7
