D. R. Chicago, Sept. 11—(7)—A “firm stand in favor” of the re-election of {President Roosevelt was urged upon the national progressive conference Friday by Senator George W. Norris, of Nebraska, veteran independent. In a telegram sent from his sum- mer home at Waupaca, Wis., Norris told the progressive gathering contin- uance in office of the president was “not only of national importance, but it has an important bearing upon the civilization of the world.” Norris said “we should not think of changing leadets while we are cross- ing the stream of an unprecedented depression, coupled with the cruel hardships of nature.” Praises Roosevelt The senator described Roosevelt as the “only president since his illus- trious namesake, whose heart beats in sympathy with the pulsations that come from the breast of the common | lotte man. Under his leadership there has been some humanity written into the federal statutes.” John L, Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America and leader of the committee on industrial organization, also joined the confer- ence of liberal leaders. ‘His appearance gave added strength to the belief that the conference would launch a movement to endorse Presi- dent Roosevelt, since Lewis’ position as a supporter of the administration is well known. Predict Endorsement. Just before the conferees went be- hind closed doors for their discussions, Rep. Harry Sauthoff of Madison, a Wisconsin Progressive, predicted the group would give “unqualified endorse- ment” of the president.

The conference recessed for lunch with all members pledged to secrecy, but one delegate said a committee of 25, headed by Mayor La Guardia, had been appointed to draft a statement of principles, Senator La Follette declined to dis- cuss the results of the conference un- til after adjournment. He indicated he expected the conference to end themselves, take the action necessary to restore the purchasing power of the nation.” “Only the federal government could accomplish that,” he emphasized. Governor J. C. B. Enringhaus, of North Carolina, presented him as the “Gideon of democracy” and “our cap- tain-couragepus.” Happiness in Simple Terms Building his speech around the Biblical “green pastures” and “still waters” in the 23rd psalm, the presi- dent asserted “happiness is most often described in terms of the simple ways of nature rather than in the complex ways of man’s fabrications.” “I speak to you today,” he said, “as common sense American men and France, were understood to have re- q fused a British request that they ask i the Spanish rebels to refrain from using poison gas against Madrid.

Officials of the metal workers un- ion, however, denied there was any plan to take over the factory. ‘The group told Blum the movement was started by Communist employes. They declared they had received in- formation the extremists were plan- ning to take over the plant by force and operate it for themselves tempor- arily. The delegation asked the premier for a government guarantee that non- union employes would be assured of the right to work in the event the “experiment materialized.” Fresh labor troubles, linked to workers’ demands for reconsideration of France's non-intervention policy in the Spanish civil war, brought new worries to cabinet officials. The Renault plant, located at Bil- lancourt, a suburb of Paris, employs 34,000 workers to produce army equip- ment as well as motor vehicles of all kinds. Minister of the Interior Roger Sal- engro left the capital hurriedly for Lille in an effort to halt the spread of occupational strikes in textile es- tablishments. The government's neutrality policy, meanwhile, received support from 4,000,000 members of the National Conféderation of War Veterans. County Agent to Be Voted on in Emmons Linton, N.
