Balanced Budget Sowrlit by Cut I Appropriations Senate DoniocraU Refuse to Confirm Hoover Appointments Washington, Jan.

27 Senate Democrats decided at a conference to work for a balanced budaet through drastic cuts in all appropriation bills but without attempting to reach their final goal at the present session. Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the party leader, said amendments will be offered in the Senate looking to a slash of between and $50,000,000 below the present total of the billion-dollar Treasury-PostotTlce bill. Refuse to Confirm Senate Democrats today clung to their policy of not confirming any Hoover appointments except routine promotions, after considering proposed relaxation to permit confirmation of new ministers to Canada, Poland and Czechoslovakia. The once-vetoed first deficiency bill minus the portions to which President Hoover objected was passed again today by the House and sent to the Senate. As approved this time, bill carried nothing for tax refunds nor did it provide for supervision by the Joint Congressional Committee on Internal Revenue of all tax refunds of more than $20,000.

Governor Lehman pointed oul that In New York City there half a dozen housing projects, fcaj which loans are asked by different groups. "It is difficult for the R.

F. to choose among them." he said. "Advice from a competent grours familiar with conditions, will aij the R. P. c.

Report Walsh Will Accept a Cabinet Post Senator Class, Mentioned for Treasury, Denies He Sent Acceptance Karl ltar Clrmd Building By HENRY StYDAM Washington, Jan. 27 It is understood that Senator Carter Glass of Virginia has been offered and has decided to accept the post Secretary of the Treasury in the Cabinet of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Information Is also available that Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana is Mr.

Roosevelt's choice for Attorney General and will accept the place. Senator Glass, upon being questioned, denied he had accepted the past, but this was regarded here as a mere technical denial that he had as yet given Mr. Roosevelt his formal consent to the appointment. Rumors concerning these two Senators as Cabinet possibilities have been frequent in recent weeks. While it has been regarded as probable that Mr.

Walsh would figure In the new Cabinet, the understanding with regard to Mr. Glass was much less certain. The Senator from Virginia at first ridiculed the idea that he would return to the Treasury post which he held for a time at the end of the administration of President Wilson. It appears that a combination of official events and private reflections have combined to change Mr. Glass' mind.

Roosevelt Statement Urged President-elect Roosevelt is being urged to announce the accptance of these two outstanding conservative Wilson Democrats forthwith, on the ground that this would have a stabilizing effect on the unsettled political and economic structure. It is further felt that if Mr. Roosevelt could, at the same time, announce the acceptance of some outstanding man, such as Owen D. Voung. for Secretary of State, no more helpful assurance concerning the temper and capacities of the new administration could be offered.

The three weeks filibuster against the Glass banking bill in the Senate was not without its effect in inclining Senator Glass to leave the Upper House, where, despite his wide influence, he is just one man in 96. It was represented to him that as head of the fiscal department of the Government he would be possessed of much wider powers and prerogatives. Cabinet Advantages Cited Furthermore, as Mr. Glass is 75, the less turbulent and less irritating atmosphere of a Cabinet place was described to him as a more suitable environment than the Senate, where a group of recalcitrant Democrats under the leadership of H. P.

Long of Louisiana have been giving Mr. Glass a rather rough time. The Senator from Virginia Is not the sort of person, however, to run from a fight. What is doubtless the decisive motive in inducing him to regard a Cabinet place with favor is his opposition to inflation. The appointment of Senator Glass will be interpreted as an assurance against Inflation in the prospective extra session of Congress in April.

Throughout American financial and business life he is regarded as a Staunch defender of sound money. His appointment will be a flat indication that the incoming President Intends to oppose the various projects for inflation with all the resources at his command, of which Senator Glass Is perhaps the principal one. Walsh Fighting Lawyer Senator Walsh, famous as the investigator of the naval oil leases In 1924, Is recognized as one of the most distinguished constitutional lawyers in Congress. He Is a relentless fighter and a deep student, possessed of wide powers of reflection. He has never before held a Cabinet post.

Glass and Walsh are both "elder statesmen." Mr. Glass is 75 and Mr. Walsh 74. The Senator from Virginia Is little older than Andrew W. Mellon was when he took office In the Harding Cabinet.

The advice of Col. Edward M. House to Mr. Roosevelt that none but young men should be chosen for the cabinet has, in these two cases, been disregarded. However, It is understood that Senator Bronson Cutting of New Mexico, Progressive Republican who bolted to Roosevelt during the campaign, now has the refusal of the Secretaryship of the Interior.

Senator Cutting is 45. Roosevelt Denies Offer Warm Springs, Jan. 27 (P) President-elect Roosevelt today waved aside Washington newspaper stories about who was going to be his cabinet and asserted again that no formal offers have been made. It is apparent, however, that he has been studying out those he wants in the cabinet, including Senators Glass of Virginia and Walsh of Montana and that the list is taking definite shape. Naturally, Mr.

Roosevelt wants to name his own selections and has not given the slightest intimation of who he has in mind. The speculation is based on who he has talked with in recent weeks. Only one post is regarded as definitely filled James A. Farley, of New York, the Roosevelt campaign manager, as Postmaster General. Transport Bureau Sought The new deal of President-Elect Roosevelt for American government Is beginning to unfold and is expected to be on the table promptly after he takes office March 4.

One of the cards in the stack already is in sight organization of the multitude of sea, air and transportation duties of the Government under one Government authority. Economy and efficiency is the purpose behind th plan to encompass these scattered agencies under one head. Railroads. Inland waterways-commercial aviation, shipping and motor bus traffic are proposed to be grouped under a central government directorate Brooklyn will get a four-minute headway rush-hour service over the new city subway from the Borough Hall section through downtown Manhattan when the Cranberry St. tube Ls opened about Feb.

1. Schedules for the operation are now being worked out by the Board of Transportation. The route, which adds only about two miles to the 8(h Avenue, Manhattan, trunk now being operated from Chambers St. north to 207th will require an addition of only 15 cars to the present quota. These will be placed on expresses which at first will be lie only Manhattan service on this line coming through to Brooklyn.

The run will require only seven minutes from the Jay Street station here to the present Chambers Street terminal in Manhattan and will include only one intermediate stop. Fulton and Broadway, Manhattan. The trains will skip the Brooklyn Bridge stntkm until escalators have been installed because the platforms of that station are 70 feet underground. The Board of Transportation will have more than ample cars to maintain the Brooklyn service or even to Increase It promptly if traffic warrants. In addition to the 300 original city cars now used on the 8th Avenue trunk, It placed an order late in 1931 for an additional 500 at a cost of $10,531,500, with an equal number of motors to cost $2,391,500 and control apparatus totaling $1,230,000.

This rolling stock was to be delivered in batches, the last to be ready by May 5, 1933. To date about 395 cars and 300 motors have reached the city's carshops at 207th where they are assembled. 385 Cars Now Ready Of this number 285 have been completed, assembled, tested and are ready. This number. It ls estimated, would probably be sufficient to start operation on the links of the subway which are due for service by Septemberthe Smith-9th St.

line to Church Ave. in Brooklyn, the Bronx Concourse line and the Queens line from 53d St. and 8th Manhattan, to Roosevelt Jackson Heights, including the Crosstown spur from Queens Plaza through Greenpoint to Nassau Ave. It Is estimated that, by that time, however, the city will have practically 500 cars assembled and tested for service. Find 'Lost' Child Safe in Playground Mrs.

Anna Batnlck of 75 Wilson St. notified the police shortly after midday today that her daughter, Mildred, 5'j, had failed to come home from her kindergarten class at Public School 16, Wilson between Bedford and Lee Aves. although her session ended at 11.

A strong northeast wind whlpied the water. At the Erie Railroad Ferry Terminal, foot of Pavonia Jersey City, water which at some points was a foot deep was in the ferry house, and there was a veritable lake at the approach which was practically impassable for trucks and passenger automobiles. Sandbags were placed near the entrance to the Hudson tubes to prevent the water flooding the tubes.

Jamaica Tracks Flooded The high tide In Jamaica Bay covered the tracks of a portion of the Far Rockaway division of the Long Island Railroad today from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m., making the tracks impassable for trains during those two hours. The section of tracks flooded is between Beach 77th and Beach 80th Rockaway Beach. With the approach of noon, however, the tide receded, and normal train service over that area was resumed. Electrical service at Rorkaway Beach and Rockaway Point was interfered with because light poles were blown down by the wind, or fell after being undermined by the water.

But crews of workmen quickly made necessary repairs, restoring service. At Broad Channel, side streets were flooded to a depth, in some instances, of several feet. A few Summer bonus were Isolated by the water, but they were unoccupied. Storm tturgrs The three coal barges which were torn from the tug Menominee by the storm and scattered along the Jersey coast were reported safe this morning in messages received at the offices of the Coast Guard at the Battery. One of these, the Charleston, was found adrift off Atlantic City by the Coast Guard cutter Thetis at 7:15 o'rlock last night and was being towed to New York this morning.

The Thetis reported that the barge has a sick man aboard. Another barge, the Ontario, was picked up by the cutter Sebago.

"Stabilized currencies are one of the great need of the world of business today," Farrell testified. "So long as our domestic market here is wide open to depreciated currency countries there will be little incentive for them, from our direction, to institute measures to bring about such return to currencies of known value rather than culrencles of daily variations." "The whole business structure is inoculated in such a way as to be completely demoralized," he added. "In iron and steel." with which I am particularly familiar, we have no protection at all under present depreciated currencies.

"I wouldn't have a reciprocal treaty with one country and not have it with all," tie said. "Having been in foreign trade over 40 years and knowing the businessmen and statesmen of these countries, I believe we are going to evaporate In some lines unless we act against depreciated currencies. "I consider it the most mportant thing in Congress." "We hear much talk about the need for restoring price levels." he said. "Nothing is quite so destructive to sound efforts to restore prices as the presence in our American market of foreign competitive merchandise priced at levels so low that American competition with them is not possible unless we bring down our whole economic structure to the low strata of some of our chief Farrell said that In the first six months of 1932 imports from depreciated currency countries dropped only 8 percent as compared with the first half of 1931, while there was a 35 percent decrease for countries whose currencies had not depreciated.
