President Warns Against Federal Bond Issue Relief; Advances 12-Point Program
WASHINGTON, Ma\~ 22—(UP)—President Hoover today issued a long expected warning against proposals for huge federal bond issues to provide employment for building public works.
He advanced instead a 12 point program for combatting bad conditions, and said:	*
"The back of tbe depression
cannot be broken by any single
government undertaking.”
"That can only be done with the cooperation of business, banking, industry, and agriculture in conjunction with the government.”
Great bond issues, the president said, would weaken the government's credit, burden the taxpayev and lead to political "log rolling."
REASONED ARGUMENT
As much money is being spent on the public works nowr, he pointed out, as can profitably be used.
Ke said that great public works cannot be started in a day, even if they are desirable. As an al ternative he favored giving the Reconstruction Finance corporation authority to increase its security issue up to a total of $3,-OOtl,000,000 so that it can lend money for income producing works, of public and private nature—waterworks, docks, toll bridges, toll tunnels. The money would be repaid and the taxpayer would lose nothing.
President Hoovet made his argument in a letter to Richard 'S.
Parker, president of the American
Society of Civil hnglneers. It Islthat Is, with a given angle," ostensibly an answer to proposals | "My method Is an absolute one of the society,’ but was regarded for trisecting not only an obtuse a* a reasoned argument against I angle, but any given angle, w heth-all ihe hid-; for huge issueR of er acute, obtuse, straight, or republic securities, to be paid for in , flex." P'ather Gliebe declared.
HOW TO TRISECT ANGLE RELATED BY S. F. PRIEST
System Uses Trapezoids, Rhombuses, Stars, Parallelopipeds
RAN FRANCISCO, May 22.— (UP)—Trisectlon of the angle— an unsolved problem of geometry for 3,000 years—was claimed today by Dr. Julius J. Gliebe, white-haired former instructor in mathematics at St. Anthony’s college, Santa Barbara, Calif.
In setting forth his claim. Dr. Gliebe took a lusty fling at the Very Rev. J. J. Callahan, president of Duquesne university, who recently announced he had solved the problem.
Father Callahan, the San Francisco priest said, "started at the wrong end of the thing and was found finishing up at the place where he ought tn nave begun

Solution of the problem, as ad vanced by Father Gliebe, was sim pie. He divided an angle into three equal parts with straight lines.
The proof however, was another matter. His figure for an obtuse angle requires 12 lines. It Involves trapezoids, rhombuses, parallelopipeds, lines, points, angles, aud a mate of stars, constellations, multiple angles, lines, and points.
In explaining the construction he used to solve a problem thal has defied mathematicians from Pythagoras to the present day, Father Gliebe uses English and l^atin, with an occasional Greek formula to express more complicated formulas.

SENATE LEADERS HOPE TO BREAK TARIFF DEADLOCK
Tax Bill Will Be Theme Of Today’s Session In Congress
WASHINGTON, May 22.— (UP1 —Leaders will make a desperate effort tomorrow to break the talkative deadlock over tariffs which Is seriously threatening the $1,-030,000,000 tax bill In the senate.
Only a faint hope still remains that congress can adjourn before the political conventions. President Hoover, as well as Republican and Democratic senate leaders, Is Insistent that congre«s sit through the conventions, without the usual recess, If the economic program is uncompleted. In addition to the tax bill, this program includes an economy measure, nine annual appropriation bills and an employment relief bill.
HOPE FOR VOTE TODAY
leaders are. hopeful of getting n vote today on the two remaining tariff items in the bill, the three dollars per 1,000 feet duty on lumber and the four cents a pound levy on raw copper, with compensatory duties for finished copper products. Protection for oil and coal already has been voted.
So furiously has the tariff controversy stirred the senate, however, that these votes will not be the end. Senator Millard Tydings Dem., Md., ls ready to filibuster with 500 additional amendments to the tariff bill, while Senator George W. Norris, Repn., Neb., another foe of tariffs, has offered the export debenture plan of farm relief as an amendment.
PROPOSE DUTY REDUCTION
Senator Cordell Hull, Dem., Tenn., also is proposing a 20 per cent reduction in all advalorem duties in the Hawley-,Smoot act which are over 400 per cent.
The strategy of the antl-tarlff group ia to delay the senate, If possible, until It reverses Itself on these tariffs and wipes out all four of them. A change of only a few votes Is necessary. Authority has been granted for later votes on each.

S. C. Scores More Point* Than Does Combined Opposition
By MAX PLAKE
Piling up a massive total of 86 1-6 points to retain their California Intercollegiate title for tb« lourth consecutive 'ear, the Southern California track and field met* defeated the teams from Stanford, California, and U.C.L.A. ln the new Edwards stadium at Berkeley last Saturday afternoon In a trade meet that was a thriller if there ever was a thrilling trackfest.
■Starting the Cardinal and Gold score off with a bang, Cliff Halstead ran his last California Intercollegiate race ln 4:19.9 fa break his old record of last year. The remarkable thing about Halstead's record-breaking run waa the fact that ho ran the entire last lap ln front ot the field bjr some 50 yards.
WYKOFF LOSES
In the following event Frank Wykoff took his marks against the wishes of his coach and doctor and was defeated by a foot bf Bob Kelsel of California.
Wykoff got off to a poor start (despite tho fact that the wire stories from the Bay region stated otherwise). He wae losing ground at the 60 yard marker, at. the 80-yard post he started closing Ihe gap, and at the finish he wae gaining on the Berkeley Bullet, who was fading.
Considering his back Injury twhich luckily enough he did not hurt again) and his three days of training, Wykoff did better than1 was expected, the California fane! wrere given a thrill of a life time' (the last they will gel from thla source), and Kelsel ran a beauttsj ful race of 9.K .
