, 1936 - ROOSEVELT BUSY ON RETURN HERE Shows No Ill Effects From Drenching Prior to Char- fotte Address. President Roosevelt began & busy program immediately after his return to Washington today from a two-day visit to the South. The President’s special train— which brought him from Charlotte, N. C, where he addressed a large gatHering last evening—arrived at Union Station at 8:30 a.m. Mr. Roose- velt had not quite finished his break= fast when the train pulled in and it was nearly 20 minutes later when he motored to the White House. ‘The President showed mno ill effects from the soaking he received while motoring through Charlotte in an open car in a downpour of rain. Be= cause of the rather scanty wardrobe he took with him on the journey, he was forced to don a rumpled suit this morning—the same one he had worn during the first day of his trip. Mr. Roosevelt found a large ac- cumulation of routine business when he reached the White House. Before tackling the job, however, he hastily read a number of telegrams received at the Executive Mansion overnight, praising his Charlotte speech in which he declared the depression was broken and foresaw better times. Checks On Spanish War. For the purpose of checking up on the foreign situation, particularly the revolution in Spain, the President summoned Secretary of State Hull and Sumner Wells, Assistant Secre- tary, for conferences. Mr. Roosevelt said he plans to spend the week end aboard the Presi- dent’s yacht Potomac. On his way back from Charlotte, the President began the writing of the speech he was scheduled to de- liver this afternoon to the World Power Conference. Lively crowds greeted the President last night at the North Carolina cities of Salisbury, High Point and Greensboro. » In brief rear platform appearances, he spoke of the “wonderful” two days he had spent in the South—a trip that carried him by motor through the great Smoky Mountains National Park prior to his “Green Pastures” address at Charlotte. To Have Breathing Spell. With this power speech out of the way, this afternoon, Mr. Roosevelt will have a breathing speil of nearly & week before making another speech. The next one wil be at Cambridge, Mass,, September 18, when he will address the ceremonies incident to the celebration of the 300th anni- versary of Harvard University. The President will not return to Washington immediately after his Harvard speech, but will go, instead, to his home in Hyde Park, N. Y., where he will spend about a week or 10 days before strating out on his| campaign swing across the country. His actual political activities will begin with his visit to Syracuse, N. Y., on September 29 for the purpose of addressing the Democratic State convention, which will be in session at that time. The President’s itiner- ary from then on has not been made publie, but indications are he will be on the road for the greater part of the time from then until the eve of election day. Posed Several Questions. In his speech at the seven-State “green pastures” rally at Charlotte + late yesterday the President posed several questions which his re-elec- tion managers have said would figure prominently in the presidential cam- paign. He spoke of having “now historic corner,” the depression; NO INTEREST R CARRYING CHARGES turned that| soaked as he addressed a rally the stadium. of a “definite upturn” in business; of “better conditions” on the farm and in factories and homes; of “back in the black” and of record-breaking low interest rates on borrowings. All of this, he asserted with rain drops still dripping from his brow, had been attained without endangering “individual liberties” or invading the “inherent Tights of the sovereign | States.” He did not refer to the Supreme | Court by name, but he drew applause as he spoke highly of the N. R. A. and A. A A, and added: “It was obvious, of course, because of the economic unity of the entire country that no group of individuals | and no individual States could by themselves take the action necessary | the purchasing power of the the Federal Government | could accomplish that,” he emphasized. When the President reached the W. P. A.-constructed Municipal Stadium amid a deafening roar from the rain- soaked thousands, his light gray suit was dark and wrinkled and clinging to the flesh. No sooner had he reached the speaker's platform than the sun came out and a rainbow pierced a crescent through the fading clouds. Opening his 2,500-word address ex- | temporaneously, he noted with a broad smile that & “rainbow shines in the sky” and termed the heavenly phe- nomenon a “fitting climax to two of the most delightful days I have ever spent in my life.” Gov. J. C. B. Ehringhaus of North Carolina presented him as the “Gideon of democracy” and ‘“our captain- courageous.” Others on the platform included Govs. Dave Sholtz of Florida, Olin D. Johnston of South Carolina, and Hill McAllister of Tennessee, and all the Senators from those States and North Carolina except Ellison D. Smith of South Carolina. Building his speech around the Biblical “green pastures” and “still waters” in the 23d 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 ual figure on the Psalmist—green pas- tures and still wate! He expressed the hope that if his- tory gives a name to the present age it would calk it the “era of rebuilding, for it is my firm conviction that unless we, in our generation, start to rebulld, the Americans of s century hence will have lost the greater part of their natural and national heritage.” He said the New Deal had achieved the goal he set for the Southern farmer at the outset of his admin- istration—12-cent cotton. He added: “Most thinking people” believe the N. R. A. has done as much to restore “prosperity” as any U. 3. BODY ORDERS PHONE TOLL PROBE Long-Distance Rate Still .

SWISS “REDS” SEIZED False Passports Found in Round- Up of Suspects. ZURICH, Switzerland, September 11 (P).—Police, in a clean-up of al- leged Communists, arrested a number ot foreigners today. The authorities said those arrested had entered Switzerland on falsc passe ports. Authorities indicated they be- lieved an international political or- ganization for Communist relief was implicated. Documents seized, the police said, disclosed several secret Communist broadcasting stations in Switzerland. Arriving at Charlotte, N.

Representative Doughton, Democrat, of North Carolina, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, introduced the Executive as “our great Democratic President.” Mr. Roosevelt praised Doughton as & man of “keen perception” who had been of “tre- mendous value” to him in working out problems with Congress. Further along the line, at High Point, the President drew a laugh from the crowd when he recalled having hunted quail there, but said “Most of the quail are still flying around the country.' At Greensboro the President re- marked the crowd reminded him it was an election year. Toothbrush Starts Rumors. A special train on the way to Mon- treux, carrying M.
