President-elect Refuses to Curtail His Activities. EN ROUTE WITH PRESIDENT- ELECT ROOSEVELT TO NEW YORK, February 17 (#).—The shots from an assassin’s gun will not curtail the pre- inaugural activities of President-elest Roosevelt. Whether he realizes the significance of the fact that he was the target of the five bullets of the Miami gunman Wednesday night, the Presdent-clect is not worrying about it. His concern continues to be for the five victims| aa; shot by the bullets intended for him. Proceeding northward from his’ vaca- tion cruise in the Southern seas, he was looking forward to a reunion with |y, the family in New York City tonight. He met members of the family last night for the first time since the shoot- ing, at a stop at Nahunta, Ga., where James, eldest son, and Betsy, the son's wife, boarded the train for & 10-minute wvisit. N Gratified at the tremendous number of pourng into the train from friends, citizens and potentates, the President-elect is turning to the ness of the Government he is soon to command. Jesse Jonmes, member of the Recon- Finance Corporation Board and probably its next chairman, boarded the train at Jacksonville, Fla., last night and held a lengthy conferemce with Mr. Roosevelt. i Going Direct to New York. It was the intention of Mr. Roosevelt o proceed directly to New York where he ‘will remain until inauguration two ‘weeks hence. 1t is the conviction of the President- elect and his party that the shooting at Miami was a one-man affair. Most certainly, an unusual national demon- stration in behalf of Government has srisen fom the incident. Telegrams have come from every sec- tion of America, every corner of the world, from every strata of soclety. It was noticed by members of the Rocsevelt party who had opportunity to scan the piles of messages that a predominant religious note prevailed in them. Through _Secretary Stimson King George of England and Prime Minister MacDonald of the British Em- pire extended their felicitations. ~ ‘The same spirit which led Mr. Roose- welt to command that his car remain the firing zone at Miami until he picked up the wounded Mayor Cermak of Chicago impels him to go on as usual in his own way, Which with him is a very vigorous and active youte. It is likely he will be one of the most traveled Presidents in his- tory before his term is over. He likes o be on the go.

At Richmond Senator Cordell Hull of Tennessee, widely regarded as cer- tain to be & member of the Roosevelt cabinet, boarded the train. Gov. Pol- | Jard of Virginia visited the train dur- ing its brief stop to pay his respects. Upon his arrival at Richmond, the President-elect received telegraphic re- ports of the condition of the five shot at Miami and expressed his pleasure at information that they apparently are recovering. Gov. Pollard went to the train un- accompanied and_had breakfast with | Mr. Roosevelt. The meeting of the - President with Governors of the sev- eral States in Washington on March 6 | ‘was discussed with the Virginia ex- ecutive, who is chairman of the Ex- ecutive Committee of the National Governors’ Conference. Gov. Pollard expressed amazement 8t Mr Roosevelt’s prompt recupera- tion from his trying experience in Miami. A crowd of about 50 persons gath- ered on the platform hoping for a glimpse of the President-elect. A score of Richmond policemen and detectives Was scattered through the group. Gov. Sholtz of Florida told Gov. Pollard, who was a recent visitor to the Far Southern State, that he was going through to New York and would return to Richmond on Sunday for a discussion of the Virginia tax system. Roosevelt Describes Shooting. Roosevelt. as he relaxed on the train told his own story of tie' attempt on his life “I have heard so many - accounts amyself that I have been trying to think what really happened as I saw it,” he} said. “After T had finished speaking, some one from the talking picture people on the back of the car and #ald, ‘You musts repeat that speech for us’ I said I would not. He said “We have come 1,000 miles for this’ I ‘T am very sorry. but I can't do it.' aving said that, T slid off the, back of the car into my seat “Just then Mayor Cermak came for- ward and I talked with him about a minute about Chicago in general.

The man talking with me pulled back and the chauffeur started the car. “I looked around and saw Mayor Cermak doubled up with Mrs. Gill collapsing. I told the chauffeur to stop.

He was on the seat with me and I had my left arm around him. He slumped forward. A detective from Miami, standing on the ru g board on that side of the r, was leaning over him. He said after we had gone a couple of blocks he was afraid Cermak would not last. “I, too, was fearful. Just then Cermak straightened up and I got his pulse. at was surprising. For three blocks T actually believe his heart had stopped. “I held him all the way to the hos- pital, and his pulse constantly im- gmved. It seemed like 25 miles to the ospital. I talked to him all the way. T remember I said, “Tony, don’t move— keep quiet—it won't hurt if you keep quiet and remain perfectly still.’ “I found that a bullet—the one probably that hit Cermak—grazed the top of Clark’s hand. His hand was all bloody and scratched. “You know I knew Bill Sinnott. I kidded him at the hospital this morn- ing and told him they couldn't hurt him with a bullet in the head. It ‘would just bounce off. I left orders for them to starve him and take off at least 20 pounds.” Roosevelt was credited last night by Dr. Hugh H. Young, member of the 1 staff of Johns Hopkins Uni- \rceernty.k with saving the life of Mayor rmak. Referring to the Roosevelt account of how he held the pulse of the Chicago mayor and spoke words of encourage- ment into his ear on way to the hos- pital, Dr. Young said: “Mr. Roosevelt undoubtedly displayed a remarkable knowledge of anatomy and unusual knowledge of what ought to be done. By holding the pulse and speaking words of encouragement he did the very thing that often will save & man when he is near death from shock. It is very likely that he saved Mayor Cermak’s life.” FARLEY URGES CAUTION. Roosevelt Will Have to Curtail Ac- tivities, He Says. NEW YORK, February 17 (#).—Dem- ocratic leaders today were planning to urge President-elect Roosevelt to cur- tail his future activities. James A. Farley, Democratic national chairman, said Mr. Roosevelt *‘prob- ably will have to refrain from making 50 _many public appearances.” Other leaders at Democratic national headquarters agreed the President-elect should be urged to avoid large crowds and open gatherings as much as pos- sible. “I am going to suggest that he keep only the two or three more important engagements on his calendar and can- cel all other public appearances,” one prominent figure at headquarters said. Many recalled how extremely “open” Mr. Roosevelt has been, both during the campaign and since his election. “He has shaken hands with thousands of people.,” a party leader said, “and I shudder to think now of the chances that any would-be assassin could have grasped on those occasions.” Police arrangements for the arrival| of the President-elect were changed | when Chief Inspector John O'Brien was informed Roosevelt would leave his train at Jersey City, N. J., and come across the Hudson by ferry. Under the new arrangement 24 motor cycle officers and a large number of | uniformed and plain clothes police were | assigned to await the Roosevelt party | at the Liberty Street Ferry House, on this side of the river, to escort him to | his_East Sixty-fifth street home. | ‘Tonight Roosevelt is scheduled to attend a_Masonic ceremony at which | his son Elliott is to be elevated to the | degree of Master Mason. He will be| guardeq on his way by a large escort | and 100 uniformed police are assigned | to the hall during the ceremony. | Of the electric current being supplied in England about 60 per cent is sold for | power use, 30 per cent for lighting and | about 9 per cent for traction. | Two million bags of maize will be shipped from South Africa to Canada this season as a result of the Ottawa | conference. |TO APPEAR IN STAR 16 HOURS LATER | ¢ | Views of Roosevelt Assassination Attempt Speeded by Associated Press Executive.

'MIAMI PICTURES RUSHED BY PLANE CERMAK CONDITION IS CHANGED LITTLE Mrs. Gill Reported “Holding| Her Own”—Both Spent Restful Nights. (Continued From Pirst Page.) on Mrs. Gill's critical condition was favorable with “red blood count but slightly below normal and hemoglobin at practically normal level.” Other victims of the wild shots of the swarthy little immigrant who hought an $8 pistol to demonstrate his hate for all government were said by hospital attaches to be resting nicely and progressing. They were Miss Mar- garet Kruis of Newark, N. J.; William Sinnott of New York and Russell Cald- well of Cocoanut Grove, Fla. While the condition of Mayor Cer- mak and Mrs. Gill was watched glosely, Zangara was held in a cell high up in the Dade County Jail under close guard against rumors of a possible attempt to kidnap and lynch him. He, faced ar- raignment today. The bulletin was signed by Dr. Karl | last Meyer, Frank Jirka, John Snyder, E. 8. Nichol and T. W. Hutson. Dr. Jirka and State’Senator Richey Graham of 0is, sons-in-law of Mayor Cermak, arrived here early today by train. Dr. Meyer and William Haberkorn, sergeant at arms of the Il- linois Senate, accompanied them. Dr. Jirka and Dr. Meyer said Mayor Cermak joked with them in his room and quoted him as saying, “The only time you doctors take a vacation is when we get sick. I had to get shot in order for you to come down here.” Had Sinking Spell. It was Dr. Snyder who made the report on Mrs. Gill who during the night had a sinking spell. She rallied after stimulants were administered. He said she rested well and seemed holding her own. “Certainly,” he said, “she is not any worse and she does not appear to be much better.” Physicians plan to issue four bulle- tins daily on Mayor Cermak’s condi- tion hereafter. A policeman guards his room and one stands outside the hos- pital. The bulletins will be issued at 9 am, noon, 5:30 p.m. and 11 pm, all Eastern standard time. Mayor Cermak has received literally hundreds of telegrams of sympathy. Among the senders were Gene Tunney, Jack Dempsey, the mayor of Dublin, the mayor of Prague, James A. Farley and Gov. Horner of Illinois, who is on route to Cermak’s bedside. Both are Democratic leaders in their State. Members of the mayor's family also hastened to Miami. . The parents of Mrs. Gill, Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Jenkins of Dalla, Tex., left there last night for Miami. Friends and relatives kept up constant in- quiries about her condition. The bullet that Zangara fired into the mayor’s body was still in his body today. An X-ray report said: “Films of the chest and abdomen show presence of a .32-caliber bullet lying exactly in the midline of the upper anterior margin of the body of the eleventh dorsal vertebra. ‘The wound of entry was on the right side posteriorly under the tip of the scapula at about the level of the ninth rib. There is no evidence that it fractured the ribs at these points. “It must have passed downward and toward the midline and has apparently lodged itself in the body of this verte- bra. It has produced very little frac- | ture of the body structure of this ver- | tebra; in fact, no displaced fragments | of bone are noted in this area. “In estimating the course of this | bullet, it is evident that the spinal cord | would escape injury. It lies too high | to have cffected the right kidney, but | it is possible that in its course it passed | through the posterior margin of the | liver. The amount of injury produced will have to be observed from the clinical findings.” Card Party at Silver Spring.

ECONOMY PLANNED BYMRS. ROOSEVELT Hopes to Lower White House Cost 25 Per Cent. Scorns Fears. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 17.—In line! with the policy of her husband, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt is laying tentative plans to cut the expenses of the White House 25 per cent, she said today on her return from Ithaca, N. Y. “‘Of course I can’t say positively what 1 am going to do until I get down there and see how my plans will work,” said Mrs. Roosevelt, “but Pranklin has asked me to do this in accordance with his policy to cut all Government expense 25 per cent, and that is my aim.” * According to her present plans, Mrs. Roosevelt will get along with 9 or 10 fewer servants than there are now on the White House staff. Other economies will be effected by a saving in food and a cutting down of the general household expenses. “I believe there are now 32 servants on the staff,” she said. “I am planning to have 23. I think I shall be able to get along with that number regularly. Of course for big, formal parties I shall have to call in extra help.” Keep Own Servants. Mrs. Roosevelt is going to try to de- crease the sta® of housemen at the executive mansion by two. There also will be fewer servants in the kitchen and one less in the dining room, she said. The Roosevelts are taking with them half a dozen servants who have been with them a long time. They are the chauffeur, Roosevelt’s valet, Mrs. Roose- velt’s maid, a cook, a kitchen maid and their butler, who will be given a position as house man. Mrs. Roosevelt's arrival this morning from Ithaca, where she made a speech yesterday on the program of farm and home week at Cornell University, was quiet and informal, in contrast to the reception with elaborate police protec- tion planned for her husband on his arrival later in the day from the South. William Egan, Pennsylvania station master, who always greets her husband, met her and escorted her to a taxicab. Accompanied by two friends she went to her home in East Sixty-fifth street for breakfast. Asked for comment on the attempted assassination of her husband and her attitude toward seeking protection for herself and other members of her family, she referred to a formal state- ment she gave out last night and said: “That’s all I'm going to have to say on that subject.” Unafraid of Death. Her signed statement, given out in Ithaca last night, read: “I have been asked by a number of people as to my attitude in view of recent occurrences toward seeking pro- tection for myself and for my family mad-ddiuoml protection for my hus- 3l “I do not believe in advising as to what precautions are necessary for my husband. This incident has undoubt- edly not disturbed him except for his anxiety for those who were injured. “As far as I am concerned, I cannot gm'xrllne living in fear of a possible leath.” Mrs, Roosevelt returned from Ithaca with a sprained finger. She injured it in the folding seat of an automobile night. Lines of fatigue on her face yester- day were the only outward signs of the strain she had undergone when r_:roru of the attempt on the President-elect’s 1ife trickled in. It was learned that additional guards were being assigned to her. She expressed a determination to carry out her plan to drive in her roadster with her two dogs to Washing- ton for the inauguration. In New York it was learned that many of Mrs. Roosevelt’s friends and associates Ehnned a concerted effort to dissuade her from driving to the Capitol. RAINEY AND W'DUFFIE ASSAILED BY BYRNS Calls, Their Claims “Absurd” in Speaker Race—Declares His Victory Sure. Chairman Byrns of the House Appro- priations Committee, one of the out- standing candidates for Speaker in the next Congress, today said claims of House Leader Rainey and Representa- tive McDuffle regarding votes pledged to them are “absurd” and pointed out that the combined pledges, which they claim amount to six more than the entire membership, leave nothing for the other four candidates. “They are whistling to keep up their courage,” Byrns said. “Representative Rainey’s declaration that another can- didates is his strongest contender is only a part of his desperate effort to break up my positive strength in the West, 25 well s in the South. Quite naturally he would not boost a ¥andi- date whom he regards as his strongest opponent.” Representative Byrns expressed con- fidence he would be elected Speaker of the next House. e Recovers Long-Lost Pants. His uniform was taken from Walter F. Stanley, a British soldier, when he was admitted to a hospital in France The other day, wishing to take part in a parade, he went to a store for a pair of army trou- sers.

Boycott Includes Beer. ‘The boycott against British goods in the Irish Free State has been extended to include beer. A party of men seized a truckload of English beer in Dublin. The barrels were smashed, allowing the liquor to run into a street gutter, then burned. This followed the attack in Cork when $750 worth of beer was poured into the street recently.

C., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1933 Assassin and Four of His Victims PLANNING IS URGED FOR CAPITAL NEEDS Officials Hear Col. Sawyer’s Plea for Well Balanced Program. The District Commissioners and the Natfonal Capital Park and Planning | Commission, assembled in joint session today, listened to a report by Col. D. H. Sawyer, director of the Federal Em- ployment Stabilization Board, who told the gathering that the time is now ripe for a logical, well conceived, long- zlme” program of planning for municipal works. Going_bock to 1910, by a series of charts, Col. Sawyer presented a graphic picture of mounting expenditures in schools, fire houses, police protection and other phases of activity in the city of Wt ‘These he portrayed by lantern slides. Col. Sawyer suggested that the in- formation available is adequate to be used as a basis for the preparation of a program looking to the future and competent personnel is now available “for the preparation of such a study and co-ordination” of what funds are likely to be obtainable with the evident needs, giving to each of the latter a fully thought-out and considered order of priority.” Both commissions agreed as to the value of the studies presented by Col. Sawyer, and their practical application, Maj. D. H. Gillette, engineer of the Planning Commission, announced. The two commissions arranged, later in the day, to discuss thoroughly the Sawyer report, and to decide on the course of action to be adopted. A report on the Maryland parks was ready for presentation this afternoon. Irving C. Root, engineer of the Mary. land National Capital Park and Plan- ning Commission, and Curtis Walker, appraiser for that group, arranged to lay before the national body detailed plans for the development of parks in an extension northward of the present system in Sligo Valley. The Maryland officials also were prepared to discuss starting work on Cabin John unit, No. 1, beginning from the bridge at Conduit road. Just when Pederal funds for this improvement will be available, under the Capper-Cramton park purchase act remains to be decided. STRANGE ITEMS FOUND IN BUDGET OF MADRID Upkeep of Cats and Two Cents a Year Rent for Park Are Included. MADRID (#)—Deep in the prim rows of figures in Madrid’s city budget one finds this: “For the upkeep of the five cats of the city record rooms, 300 pesetas.” For this $30 a year the cats wage war on rats intent upon devouring the municipal archives. Another item: “For rent of the Retiro, 5 centimos of 1 peseta.” The Retiro is Madrid's great park. It belongs to the federal state, but was rented to the city for about two cents a year so that title rights might be preserved. WRITES TO GREENWICH FOR MARRIAGE LICENSE By the Assoclated Press.
