By United press NEW YORK, May I.—The national government, geared to a of fifty Years ago,_ might do well to pattern itreff after the modern governmental machinery of New York state, Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt believes. The government at Washington ts cumbersome and badly needs the reorganization and modernization effected in this state by former Governor Alfred E.

The Governor was to have left today for Warm Springs, Ga., for a vacation, but postponed the trip on receipt of a cablegram from Paris saying that his 76-year-old mother had been stricken with influenza. He decided to stay here, so he would be in close communication with Paris. Roosevelt assailed the Hoover administration as reactionary and opposed to fundamental governmental reform, declaring that the nation, was looking to the Democratic party to Igad the way to restoration of the basic principles upon which the government was founded. Although New York has not reached the ultimate in governmental reform, he asserted it had made vast strides during the past few years toward modernization which should be an example to the rest, of the nation. In citing New York as a modern example of state government, he declared: “In Washington the clogged and creaking cumbersome wheel* of -governmental machinery are'geared to the pace of fifty years ago. “Timorous councils permitted no more than a constant patching—a new rivet here and an extra bolt there, interminable struts and

!!,S, MAY SELL BONDS TO HALT 800STINTAXES Evading of Levy Increase Is Aim of Treasury in Plan. By United Press WASHINGTON, May I.—Demands of progressives in congress for increased taxes may be met by the administration by a large issue of long-term bonds, it is reported here It was learned Thursday that a high treasury official had informed members of the senate finance committee trtafc such an issue probably will be resorted to before the next session* of congress. In this way the administration would adjust its tangled finances, and at the same time make it unnecessary to increase direct taxes so soon before a general election. The treasury now has short-term securities outstanding totaling more than $3.000,000,000,. the largest floating debt since the war. In a fsw months that total will have increased, due not only to the necessity for refunding certain obligations, but also to the necessity fer raising money for current expenses, since there is an anticipated deficit of nearly 51,000,000,000 There are 400 miles of sewers in London, the whole drainage system representing a capital outlay of about $80,000,000.
