ROOSEVELT TALK “CAMPAIGN STUFF” Political Observers See 1936 | Spirit in Address to Farmers. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. President Roosevelt's speech to '.he. farmers from more than 20 States in | the White House grounds late yester- | day, in which he defended the ad- | ministration’s farm program, Wwas Jooked upon today by political observ- | ers as a splendid example of what to | expect from him in his Iorthcomlngl campaign for re-election. i Mr. Roosevelt used “fighting lan- | guage” in this address and those who heard him and who have talked with | him “off the record” are looking for Just this sort of spirit when the 1936 campaign gets under way. ! ‘The President was at his best in | talking to those farmers. For a long | time he had been sitting quietly lis- tening to the attacks upon the Agri- cultural Adjustment Administration and other New Deal policies. He had refrained from answering or striking back, evidently waiting for what is referred to in political circles as the *“psychological moment.” Feelings Let Loose. In his opinion, this gathering of farmers was the opportunity for which he had been waiting, and he let Joose his pent-up feelings. He struck back at critics with no lack of steam in his punch. And in typical Roose- | velt fashion, he struck with a smile. There was no mistaking the fact; Mr. Roosevelt made a tremendous im- ! pression on that huge gathering of men from the farms. They interrupt- ed him frequently with cheering and“ handclapping, and went away singing his praises. Naturally,-they will tell all their friends and neighbors back | home about him as they spread the gospel of his farm polic Political Strategy Moving. Tt is understood the President’s po- litical strategy until the campaign is actually in motion will be to make as few public utterances as possible. He 18 planning a swing across the con- tinent this Summer, the occasion being to dedicate Boulder Dam on the Colorado River and to attend the Ban - Diego Exposition. It is under- stood the President may make two or three major addresses before he gets back to the Capital. AUTO VICTIM’S KIN SOUGHT BY POLICE | | level of prices.” Body of Mrs. Mary E.

RADIO BEACON INQUIRY NOTED IN CRASH PROBE AUTOPLANTS CALL THOUSANDS BACK Strike Settlement to Set Plants in 12 Cities in Operation. By the Associated Press, DETROIT, May 15.—General Mo- tors officials said today they expected the automotive plants in 12 cities, which have been closed or working with reduced forces as a result of the strike in the Toledo Chevrolet Motor plant, to be in full operation within a week. Nearly half of the 33,000 men made,idle by the Toledo walkout of April 23 were back at their benches today as transmission production at Toledo was resumed under terms of the settlement reached Monday night. Reopening of the Toledo Chevrolet transmission plant, and the Fisher Body Co. plant in Cleveland restored 10,800 men to their jobs, 8,500 of them in Cleveland. The St. Louis Chevrolet and Fisher plants, with 4,500 men, and the Fisher Body Co. plant No. 2 in Flint, Mich,, with 1,300 men, re- opened earlier in the week. In addition to the 16,600 men ac- counted for in the plants named, the Fisher and Chevrolet plants in Tarry- town, N. Y., and the Chevrolet plant | in Bloomfield, N. J., both of which had been operating with sharply re- | duced forces, were understood here to be calling back some of their men. | American Federation of Labor auto | unions remain on strike at Cincinnati | and Atlanta, but Francis J. Dillon, | A. F. of L. organizer for the industry, | has advised them to return to work. | Dillon has said he expected the ‘Toledo svulehmu to be applied to the other plants. The A.

A new skirmish between the A. F.

In contending the bill was “poten- despotic,” Aldrich, who read from a long, prepared statement, as- serted it would grant to the Reserve Board “powers more extensive than are granted to any foreign central bank.” He listed them as: “The power to force on the Federal eserve an indefinite amount of Gov- ernment obligations of any and all maturities whether purchased directly from the Treasury or not. “To fix rates of discount and in- terest charged by the Reserve Banks. Would Rule Deposits. “To fix at will what deposits the member banks shall keep with the Reserve Banks. “To lower the standards fixed in the law describing the quality of pa- per banks may buy or lend upon. “To dilute the currency. “To force Reserve Banks to engage in whatever open market operations it may decree.” .

By the Associated Press. President Roosevelt yesterday vetoed bill to give an honorable Army dis- charge to & man whose excuse for deserting after a nine-day enlistment 33 years ago was that he must have been under the influence of liquor and didn't know until 24 years later he had joined up. # Committee reports on the bill by Representative Carter, Republican, of Calif,, set out that Frank R. Car- penter, alias Frank R. Carvin, now “stands high in his community” of Oakland, Calif, He was honorably discharged from the Navy in 1894 for physical dis- ability and joined the Army in 1899 under the assumed name of Carvin. There he served his three-year enlist- ment, during which he was pro- moted to corporal and was honorably discharged January 17, 1902. He re- enlisted June 11 and deserted June 20. “He submits,” the report sets out, “that following his honorable dis- charge he participated in a celebra- tion with friends and with those with whom he had previously served and that under the influence of liquor he must have re-enlisted. “He submits further that following this celebration at the Columbus Bar- racks, Ohic, and having completed his visit with old associates, he left, and did not know until April 17, 1”;; when he applied fqr pension, that was recorded as having re-enlisted.” crash of the Transcontinental & West- jern airliner Sky Chief while seeking | the emergency landing field near | there, it was indicated today in the | Pederal inquiry by two pilot wit- | | nesses, | Vernon R.

The Value of "Intangibles’”’ N\ NO MILKMAN lives by plant and equipment alone. Along with the substance ef his business he requires cer- tain “intangibles.” Routes, for example, Over a period of years milk Toutes become well estab- lished. They define the milkman’s market. In a very real sense they constitute the capacious circulatory system by which the milkmapn, the farmer, and the citizen are sustained. The value of milk routes issues from the fact that they sig- nify a daily outlet to enough customers to make regular delivery econmomically fea- sible. Ordinarily, the greater the number of customers and the smaller the area serviced, the lower the cost of delivery. Milk routes have no public identity like the city’s high- ways and byways. To cover these straight lines, twistings and turnings of the daily “demand” is the milk- man’s business. > What they are worth quickly shows up on the company’s e CHESTNUT FARMS- CHEVY CHASE DAIRY * BOYCE G LEWIS | Custom Fitting Shoes | 439441 Tth St N. equipped to fit the Foet of and child. soury men, wemen G(‘.\“.\A' v GUARA : ;‘BA.\'TEE s s com N.

The Senate, without a record vote, approved the 10-month extension overwhelmingly yesterday gespite the fact President Roosevelt only a few days ago reiterated his preference for legislation which would continue N. R. A. two years. Delay After Deadline Seen. Senate leaders warned that any change in their resolution might delay final action beyond June 16. After talking over the Senate’s action with members of his commit- tee and administration advisers, Chair- man Doughton said the House Ways and Means Committee would begin work on the bill “shortly.” “We want first to find out exactly what is in the Senate measure,” he said. He predicted the committee would favor a two-year extension, but insisted “we aren’'t trying to start a fight with the Senate.” Representative Sam B.

R. A. Speaking to a gathering of his aides at the Recovery Administration, Rich- berg criticized the theory of a short- term extension and contended perma- nent activities along the lines of those administered by N. R. A. were in- evitable. Arthur N. Whiteside, president of Dun & Bradstreet, Inc., and a former member of the National Recovery Board, told a convention of business men at Pinehurst, N. C., that N.
