F. D. R. PLANS 1 CONFERENCES Plans Further Conferences Regarding Bus- . iness Recession ! Washington. Jun. 7 (UP)—Pre--1 sident Rooeevelt today indicated ( ithat he would have further confer-, ences concerning the business re-| Cession. The President gave this Indication when he was asked concerning his discussion yesterday wltii Pre- ' sident William S. Knudsen of Gen-: leral Motors corporation. He pointed out that he was hope- , 'fill of receiving suggestions from i Knudsen, but made it clear their discussions were not yet etiued. ; He said he had a pleasant conference with Knudsen, discussing !among other subjects, the question , of pushing sales too fast. Asked whether Knudsen had I had proponed tiny remedies, the , President replied he had not yet. The President was asked whether j Ihe favored subsidy of the press {through rates to newspapers and , magazines in their handling by the ( post office department. He was re- , minded that last year it cost the government $38,090,000 to carry newspapers through the tnai’ while , the return in postage to 'he gov- ( ernnient was only $9,000,000. For ( the same period, he was informed ( lit cost the government $33,000,000 to carry magazines while the re- ‘ turn was $9.25C',000. The President observed that it , was not a healthy thing but sug- j gested that the reform be under- | taken by some agemy other than ( the government. He pointed out that the practice , of giving low rates to newspapers and magazines began in the early ( I days, and was based on the theory ( | that many communities had no othler means of receiving the news ex- , cept through the daily press. Mr. Roosevelt then was asked why the post office department of all government departments was expected to pay for itself, and he replied because it possessed an exclusive business monopoly. Other de- ; partments he said, could not be t made self sustaining because of ' their heavy financial outgo. < Mr. Roosevelt said the name of 1 successor to associate justice George ' Sutherland would not be known t until it was sent to the senate. He then was asked concernin. l ' , the possibility of fortifications for ! I Wake and Midway Islands in the 1
