“Proposals of Democratic lead-ks in congress to sop the reor-janization of government functions which I have made is a |acVward step.
“The proposal to transfer tiie i ^b of reorganization to my suc-»ssor is simply a device by which is hoped that these proposals |an be defeated.

“Either congress must keep its I hands off now or they must give 'to my successor much larger pow-I ers of independent action than to I any president if there is ever to j be reorganization.
“Otherwise it will again be merely make-believe.’*
Upon finishing the statement, the president had lunch, asked congress for a $300,Ooo appropriation for continuance of the United State’s participation in the international economic conference and for continuation of the work of the %rms conference.
He finished the day by shaking j the hands of Rudy Vallee and |other radio stars who came to Washington to receive awards [from Vice-President Curtis in a popularity vote contest.

“Many of the worldly wise have found this classification insufficient,” he stated, “and have added intuition.” Chief among these upholders of the intuition theory are the religionists, the mystics, and some of the psychologists.

Three U. S. postal guards were held up at the Southern Pacific railroad station in Los Angeles last night by bandits who escaped with a sack of registered mail of undetermined value.
The guards were unloading a truck of mail at the loading dock when the bandits appeared and ordered them to “stick em up.” While one of the gunmen held the employees at gun point his companion seized a pouch from the dock, took guns from the guards. The two then fled in a parked automobile.
Postoffice Inspector Cline esti-mated the amount of loot roughly between $5000 and $10,000.
He immediately announced a re-
I ward of $2000 for information leading to the bandits’ capture.
The guards were Conrad Gill-man, William A. Bolton and Harry Edwards.
Gillman was seated at the wheel when the gunmen approached. One exposed a sawed-off shotgun with the command for the guards to hold up their hands.
The other walked to the rear of the truck and began sorting through the sacks hurriedly. He finally selected one pouch and beckoned for his companion while he “frisked” the guards.
The victims said the bandits escaped in a small blue sedan which they believed had followed them from the main downtown Arcade | station.
