WASHINGTON Nov. 19. Summoning his cabinet for its first extraordinary President Hoover today slashed the huge federal budget to an extent that he believes will reduce appropriations by 1550,006,000. After the chief executive had taken this "special action to clear the way for foreign debt consideration early-next week, a formal statement was Issued that at the cabinet meeting "reductions in appropriations for the fiscal year beginning July 1 were settled at about 700.000,000." "This willi however," the white house' statement explained, "be offset by certain Increases in uncontrollable Items such as interest land amortization on the public debt and tax refunds to the extent of about $150,000,000. "The administration Is deter-' mined to present a balanced budget," -v The increase In fixed chargesit was explained, could be attributed to the government investments in the Reconstruction corporation and federal land banks of about 1.000,000.000, which, it was added, will "ultimately return to the treasury." Officials Are Silent.

As the cabinet officers left the executive offices one by one his morning, few would speak in detailed figures. In the statement, coming several hours after their departure, it was said that such figures are "never given out until the president's budget message is communicated to the congress." Meanwhile from Capitol Hill came reiterated expressions of an adamant attitude against the recreation of the war debts commission and against an extension of the moratorium. Should this view prevail, a demand by the United states for payments due on Dec 15 would be the only course available. Opposes Moratorium. From high administration quarters has come word that the chief executive Is definitely opposed, to another one-year moratorium, and favors Instead a more rigid attitude toward foreign debtors.

It was learned today that Dr. Julius Curtius, former German foreign minister, conferred while here with Chairman Borah of the senate foreign relations committee. He had previously paid calls upon the president and Secretary Stim- son. The chief executive has said repeatedly that the question of German reparations must be entirely divorced from any American consideration of the war debt question. Watsoa Give View.

Senator Watson, republican, Indiana, one of the 12 congressional leaders called by the president to his parley on debts, next Wednesday, said In. Indianapolis today he could count only four avenues out of the debt tangle, a three-year moratorium, revival of the debt commission, cancellation and repudiation. "Repudiation," he said, "has been discussed in European circlss. I doubt, however, that they will go that far. France could pay if she would, for she has the world's largest gold reserve.

It was a combination of varsity and! second string Notre IDame players Who supplied rhe 12-point scoring punch! Once this combination was broken up and the regular, first' team inserted, Notre Dame could make plenty of yards but failed when the going Was hardest.

Failing to count; in the first quarter on straight foot ball, Lukats hurled a long pass to Murphy shortly after the second period opened and he wiggled through to the 10 yard; line.

HITLER PLEADS WITH PRESIDENT Von Hiridehburg LTctens to Nazi Leader's! Plan's By, Associated Press. BERLIN. Nov. 19. For the sec ond time in three months Adolf Hitler, who was a corporal in the world war, applied today to Field Marshal Paul Von Hindenburg, president of Germany, to be made chancellor of the This time, in marked contrast to their meeting Aug.

IS, Hitler was invited to sit down for an hour and to talk with frank cordiality. As he departed from the president's residence, he was asked to come back for another conference next Tuesday. It was agreed that a beginning had been made in achieving better- understanding between' the two most popular German lead ers. Considerable work behind the scenes was involved in bringing about the meeting between the two erstwhile bitter antagonists. Neither Hitler nor Von Hindenburg was willing to discuss their meeting.

On reliable authority it was learned, that the Nazi leader dropped the attitude that had appeared arrogant to the president. Instead of demanding the chan cellorship Hitler pleaded with the president to permit him to place his movement of 12.000,000 Ger mans behind the venerable field marshal's unique authority.
