Two Families, Far Apart in Politics, to Be United Through Young Love Twa old and Ameri- ean “clans,” alike in social pres- tige but far apart in political Two Ancient Clans Merge in Roosevelt-du Pont Betrothal THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. ENGLAND, FRANCE LAUD ROOSEVELT'S SPEECH ON PEACE Italian Resumes Omit Reference to ‘Land-Hungry, Aggres- sive Nations’ London, Dec. 2.—(#)—Democratic England and France, in the midst of a European “war of ideas,” lauded Pres- ident Roosevelt almost unanimously ‘Wednesday for his opening speech at the inter-American conference at Buenos Aires, The Fascist press in Italy, which re- ceived resumes from the Stefani (Italian) news agency, omitted the President's reference to “land-hungry, aggressive nations.” (Copyright, 1986, by Associated Press) Washington, Dec. 2.—(#)—Hand- some, Franklin Roosevelt, Jr., is seen helping the beautiful Ethel du Pont into a car. He squires her to a foot- ball game. He swings her around the floor at a college dance. And the gossips love it. “What do you suppose their fam- ilies think?” they buzz, ‘They remember the warring of the An authorized Rome source, how- ever, said Italian government circles had received the Roosevelt address with great interest and sympathy. / Berlin Takes Issue | Through the Diplomatische Korres- Ppondenz, the Berlin Wilhelmstrasse, took issue with Mr. Roosevelt's words on European “war madness.” The foreign office mouthpiece said: “If President Roosevelt declares the Purpose .of increasing armaments is du Pont clan on the New Deal. ie @ du Pont marrying a Roosevelt!” So goes the refrain since Mr. and Mrs, Eugene du Pont announced the engagement of their daughter to the son and namesake of the president. But the real surprise is not that a du Pont plans to marry a Roosevelt in June, but that the two clans never were united by marriage before. The two families have long, romantic his- tories, their paths have crossed before, and they have been powerful for gen- erations. Of Ancient Lineage It is even possible that before the French revolution the du Ponts knew ot the Delanos, the president's fam- ily on his mothers side, In the tur- moll leading to the revolution the Delanos, who were knowns as the De la Noyes, and the du Ponts were active in Huguenot circles in France. When Victor du Pont made. an ex- ploratory trip up the Hudson to Al- bany in 1787, the Roosevelts and De- Janos were already well-known around New York, All three families have been pro- lific, All three. have taken a warm interest in their communities. Each has e home about which the clan re- volves. Both the Roosevelts and the du Ponts are Episcopalians; both ave old churches in which ceremon- fes have marked the christenings, marriages and deaths for generations. The du Ponts are now in their eighth generation on American soil, the Roosevelts in their tenth. Like Father, Like Son In the three clans have been all manner of professional men, politi- cians, merchants and sea-going men. But each family has a special apti- tude which has engaged a majority of its erin meeeearg ts been dominant pers, Roose- velta merchants; the du Ponts have stayed -close’ to their: original -gun- ities the Roosevelts and the du eration have persisted to the present. "The Roosevelts still are taught to sail boats almost as soon as they can spell the name. The young du Ponts grow up knowing that they will be expected to take their place in the cnet corporation which has de- veloped from their ancestors’ ‘iginal black powder mills, which still stand on the Brandywine river near the homes of the clan. ‘The Roosevelts have sent two pres- dents to Washington. The du Ponts have been represented by # senator, Coleman, elected in 1924, and a son- in-law, Rep. Colgate Darden, Jr., who was in the house from Virginia last eession. Within Both self-sufficient that there has been mueh intermarrying. In the present generation of adults, the president is @ distant cousin of his wife, and Irenee du Pont, @ distant cousin of the bride-to-be, is married to his dis- tant cousin Irene du Pont. Divorces have been almost unheard until re- BUSINESS 10 OFFER “COOPERATION PLAN WITH GOVERNMENT Absorption of Unemployed, Wage Boosts, Housing Pro- gram Being Drawn Washington, Dec. 2—(7)—A broad new program of government-business cooperation is being tentatively draft- ed by members of the Business Ad- visory council.
