LIBERALS LAUNCH ROOSEVELT DRIVE Urge All Progressives to Back President—Assail Landon. By tne Associated Press. CHICAGO, September 12.—An or- ganization of self-styled liberals from political, labor and agricultural fields today launched a campaign for the re-election of President Roosevelt. A parley of 116 conferees, meeting as the ““National Progressive Confer- ence,” concluded last night with an agreement to back the Chief Execu- tive, an appeal for all “progressive- minded” voters to join the drive and expressions of opposition to the Re- publican presidential candidacy of Gov. Alf M. Landon of Kansas. A telegram was dispatched to Mr. Roosevelt, notifying him of his in- dorsement and adding: “We are now proceeding to organ- {ze in every State in the Union for the purpose of waging a vigorous tam- palgn for your re-election and the furtherance of the fight for equality ©of opportunity.” La Follette Is Chairman. Senator Robert M. La Follette, Wis- consin Progressive, was named chair- man of an Executive Committee of 15 to supervise the group’s efforts and send speakers to the hustings. It was decided to establish units in every State, each under the direction of an executive commitfee of men and ‘women, and to raise a campaign fund. La Follette said several thousand dol- lars was contributed to the purse at the session. La Follette was authorized to name other members of the executive body. Senator George W. Norris, Nebraska independent Republican, was chosen honorary president of the committee; Senator Edward F. Costigan, Colorado Democrat, honorary vice president; Grace Abbott, Chicago woman's lead- er, honorary vice chairman, and Frank P. Walsh, head of the New York Power Authority, acting treas- urer, ‘The official registration roster listed representatives of four political parties — Republican, Democratic, Progressive and Farmer-Labor. There were four United States Senators— La Follette, Black of Alabama, Schwellenbach of Washington and | Benson of Minnesota; two Governors, Phillip La Follette of Wisconsin and Hjalmar Petersen of Minnesota; 12 congressmen and 27 labor leaders. Lewis and La Guardia Attend. Mayor Fiorello La Guardia of New York was an active participant. John L. Lewis, chieftain of the Committee for Industrial Organization and pres- ident of the United Mine Workers of America, and Sidney Hillman, presi- dent of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of New York, were in labor's delegation. Seven participants joined in a post- conference broadcast. La Guardia urged a united front against “all colors of reactionaries.” Lewis asserted the parley symbol- ized the “determination of liberals to preserve the Nation from the Re- publican party, which places wealth and power above human welfare.” Farmer-Laborite Benson declared | the “chief business at hand” the defeat of Gov. Landon. M. W. Thatcher, Washington rep- Tesentative of the National Grain Co- operative, said President Roosevelt and the recent Congress had provided “every law the majority of agricul- tural leaders has sought.” Thomas Neblett of New York, past president of the Student Federation of America; George M. Harrison, vice president of the American Federation of Labor and president of the Brother- hood of Railway Clerks, and Peter Witt of Cleveland, introduced as a vet- eran liberal leader, also spoke. La Follette read the resolution in- dorsing Mr. Roosevelt. ‘The Conference also adopted a dec- laration of principles, reaffirming al- legiance to the American system of government, setting forth economic and social rights and stipulating the conferees reserved the right to free po- litical action outside the presidential Tace. was PITTS’ PAROLE PLEA WEIGHED Action by Board May Be De- layed for Several Weeks. G. Bryan Pitts, former Washington mortgage banker and model prisoner 8t the Lorton reformatory, where he is serving a 14-year term for con- spiracy to embezzle funds of the old F. H. Smith Co., may have to wait several weeks before the District In- termediate Sentence and Parole Board Mcts on his application for parole. For more than an hour late yes- terday Pitts made a vigorous plea be- fore the board in support of his ap- peal for release on parole. After the hearing Wilbur A. La Roe, jr., chairman, said no action would be taken until the next meeting of the full board. One member, Frank R. Jelleff, was absent when Pitts made his plea for parole. La Roe also said udditional data would be needed to complete the rgcord in the case before action is takend. Pitts was sentenced December 23, 1930, but did not begin serving his term until March 9, 1932. He became eligible for parole December 27, 1934. Col. William L. Peak, superintendent of the reformatory, indorsed Pitts’ application for parole. Other officials said he had been an outstanding pris- oner for the last three years, and had served efficiently in the reformatory commissary, where he is in charge of the records. Pitts declined to make any state- ment for publication after his ap- pearance before the Parole Board. Washington Waysid —— . Random Observations of Interesting Events and Things. HARPIST, UT an ear to one of the marble walls of & Government ‘build- ing and you are likely to hear almost anything. That, at any rate, is the story to which one of our operatives is sticking as a result of & recent experience. He was walking through what he calls one of the subbasements of the South Building, Department of Agri- culture, when he heard what seemed to be harp music. A check-up dis- closed that it was harp music; ethe- real notes plucked from the strings of the instrument by an ethereal-looking girl. He did not have the courage to ask her “What's this?” He just hopes the officials down there don't find the girl and order her plowed under. 3 * %k X X NO HORSES. A man who goes through this world seeing two where others see singly, reports that there are two hitching posts still hanging around the Treasury Building, one on Treasury place, the other on East Ezecutive avenue. The interesting thing about them, he says, is not that they are still standing, but that both are protected by “No Parking” signs. * % X x GRADED. { NOWING all the answers isn't always an advantage in this mad world, an officer attending one of Uncle Sam'’s schools for learning how to be a major general found out the other day. This officer, distinctly & man of action, entered the same school last Fall, but was forced to withdraw on account of injuries received in an airplane which proved quite unaware that man has conquered the air. Enrolled again this month, the officer was fully prepared to write a splendid | thesis on his ambitions in the Army, | having been rather sketchy about it ilnst September before he heard the commanding officer of the school talk on what every young soldier should have as a goal. ‘The second paper echoed the views of the commanding officer, expressing, among other things, a hope to make the general staff some day. The essay | came back with the following nofation from the C. O.: “No fair, You heard my lecture last year.” * *x * % “GYPPED." WHAT adults say is true so far as young Thomas Ahearn, jr., is | concerned, and nothing can change it. His complete acceptance of all adult words as wise was demonstrated a few days ago at North Beach, Md., under circumstances that were a bit un- usual. With his father and Mayor Michael Lane of North Beach, young | Thomas was standing on the outskirts of a crowd of slot machine players, | watching them lose their money and hearing them call the machines Young Thomas finally stepped up, dropped in a nickle and hit the jack- pot for $4.40. Later he left the table where his father and Lane had taken seats, went over to another machine and dupli- cated his earlier performance. With $8.80 for his 10-cent invest- ment, you might think he was set for a career of gambling, but not Thomas, jr. “You can't beat those machines,” he said, looking over his mountains of nickles. “They're gyps.” * x * x DANCER.

His appearance caused a faint gasp of amazement. He was dressed in a mess jacket with red, pointed lapels; huge brass buttons, and trousers to match. He explained later that since his mistress wished to make a good im- pression he had worn his tap-dancing uniform. * x ok x THEME SONG. Orchestra leaders sometimes come through in a pinch without even trying. A patron at a local cabaret the other night was a lad whose wife had just filed two $50,000 suits against him in District Supreme Court. The band leader, a friend of the chap, dedicated a tune to him, without stopping to think of the title. The song was “Dinner for One, Please, James.” The lyrics fit beautifully, too—especially the part about “Don’t look so downhearted, love always plays such funny games.” Night Final Delivered by Carrier Anywhere in the City [ ] Full Sports Base Ball Scores, Race Results, Complete Market News of Yhe Day, Latest News Flashes from Around the World.

(Copyright. 1936, by the Associated Press ) ROME, September 12.—Italy's cab- inet, under the presiding eye of Benito Mussolini, today voted extraordinary appropriations for land, sea and air forces “to proportion our military preparations to the necessities of the international situation.” The ministers also approved salary increases, averaging 8 per cent, for 650,000 government employes, and added to the wages of many thou- sands of provincial and municipal workers. 11 Duce told the council that Italy's campaign for self-sufficiency in raw materials, especially those used for military purposes, has “already given & noteworthy result and will be con- tinued most vigorously.” The General Commission for War Manufactures, he told the ministers, now controls more than 1,000 aux- iliary manufacturing plants. The amount of extraordinary ap- propriations voled for the armed serv- ices was not disclosed. A cabinet communique said, however, they would “perfect our military preparations in a certain period of time.” (Italy's move to further increase her armed forces follows Germany's doubling of her compulsory term of military conscription and action by France to buy $910,000,000 in planes, tanks, guns and armored cars in an effort to increase her army’s efficiency, rather than its size. (French statisticians, last month, calculated Europe's military powers now could send nearly 6,000,000 trained men into battle if necessary. These figures fixed Germany's strength at 1,365,000, Italy's at 1,250,000, Rus- sia’s at 1,200,000 and France's at 654,000. (However, I Duce recently said he could mobilize 8,000,000 Italians “on a simple order.”) Colonial Army Authorized. ‘The cabinet also approved forma- tion of a permanent colonial army in East Africa, to be commanded by of- ficers speclalizing in the colonial branch of the service. These officers will alternate their service in colonial and mainland armies to keep at “top efficiency.” The colonial army will be flanked by 150,000 workers, which number, the cabinet communique said, would be required at least during the initial| period of public works construction in Ethiopia. The workmen will be incorporated into the Blackshirt militia and will carry ‘on their labors with rifles close by. Informed sources have indicated the army itself would be composed of 3,500 officers and 60,000 men, of whom 20,000 will be white. Veterans Given Preference. ‘The ministers gave veterans of the Ethiopian war “absolute preference in the development of empire.” ‘They ruled, however, that “legal or social promiscuity between the Italian and native races” was specifically forbidden, as was the exercise of power by native chieftans. The chieftans were declared to be “an instrument in the hands of colon- ial authorities for carrying out the latters’ orders.” Bonuses were granted to demobilize those who spent at least four months in Africa. ‘Two air attack provisions were made by the cabinet. One shortened the time allowed manufacturers to pro- vide gas masks for workers who must continue to work even during aerial bombardment. The second provided Power (Continued Prom Pirst Page.) son of the Los Angeles Bureau of Power and Light that Carlisle’s con- clusions were based on “incorrect fig- ures carefully selected.” Later, E. F. Scattergood, also of the Los Angeles bureau, declared the Car- lisle paper was a misrepresentation of a “sort common to the private utility propaganda.” The President’s address to the dele- gates yesterday, after which he pressed the button to begin operation of the giant Boulder Dam project across the Colorado River, was a forthright defense of the administra- tion’s past policy toward power de- velopment and a pledge that the in- terest of the Federal Government would not be curtailed short of achievement of the objective of wide- spread use of electrical energy. Beyond this primary objective Mr. Roosevelt also laid before the world's leaders in the power field the respon- sibility of shaping the way of life in | the not distant day when “the con- | version and application of energy ¢ * * will be so directed that half the population can provide the basic machine-made products necessary for the welfare of the whole population. “We can conceive that this would mean that the people between 20 and 50 years of age will be able to pro- duce the basic commodities for them- selves and also for all others below and above those ages. “If that condition should arise, it is the duty of you who would be so greatly responsible for it to think what would be the effect of our leis- ure, our culture and our way of life. I would suggest that the answer should not be left solely in the hands of bank- ers, Government officials or demo- gogues.” Ask “Social Accounting.” Touching twice upon the need of a system of “social accounting,” the Chief Executive said: “A higher form of accounting than any yet developed by commerce and industry appears to be essential. It must be a form of accounting that takes social values, now left to mere assumption, into its calculations and measures them. If a nation were to establish in its social balance sheet a capital account for its energy assets, and were to charge against that ac- count the water it permits to go un- used, as well as.the coal and oil that are used; or if the petroleum indus- try were charged with the gas it per- mits to go to waste—a quantity that is enormous in the United States; then perhaps all citizens would per- ceive that public policy and private conduct in respect of natural re- sources should be quite different from what they now are. “Sheer inertia has caused us to neg- lect formulating a public policy that ‘would promote opportunity for people to take advantage of the flexibility ot electric energy; that would send it out wherever and whenever wanted at the lowest possible cost, We are continuing the forms of over-central- ization of industry caused by the characteristics of the steam engine, long after we have had technically available a form of energy which should promote decentralization of in- dustry. What is economically sound is to be determined by social account- ing more than by present methods.” Scoffs At Claims, Declaring that a “sound and cou- rageous public policy will lead toward consummation” of the objective of widespread use of cheap power, the President scoffed at the idea that such & program could destroy the private industry of today. “One who considers the matter with forthright vision,” he said, “cannot convince himself that public policy for promotion of electric energy can really harm the electric industry that exists today. It would give opportunity for that industry to add to achieve- ments already great.” High rates and consequent limited use of electricity he termed a “vicious circle” which must be broken. Sig- nificantly, he added that if the Gov- ernment yardstick projects now in operation or under construction are not suficient to break this circle “the influence of additional meritorious projects awaiting development can be added.” “T still hold,” he continued, “to the belief of two years ago, when I spoke follows: u"{womrhl-,xhl'n. |of world power already made avail- with our own eyes electricity and power made so cheap that they will become a standard article of use, not only for agriculture and manufac- turing, but also for every home within reach of an electric light line. " From the three other speakers at | yesterday afternoon’s session came the | common plea for a social develop- ment commensurate with the techni- cal in order that the great resources able might be used most efficiently and most humanely. Lewis Mumford, author and sociolo- gist, presented the appeal as a choice between “a comprehensive collec- tive effort to transmute power into | culture—or a giving way before those | forces that would pervert human values, debase life and finally, in & paroxysm of brutal rage, destroy ! themselves in the act of destroying civilization. “At the present time the degrad- ing and unbuilding forces in modern | society seem, in more than one area, | to be uppermost. Only resolute en- ergy, diisciplined imagination &nd common good will can save us. Will' we make the necessary sacrifices of | individual and group and national | egoism? Can we rouse ourselves to the necessary efforts of co-operation and construction? There are no two answers; we dare not fail.” Joas Dos Reis, Brazilian minister of communications and public works, and Dr. Arthur Surveyer, consulting engineer of Montreal, other speakers of the day, voiced simijar hopes and appraisals of world conditions. Controversy Rages. Political controversy reached the | bitter pitch at one of three sessions yesterday morning as debate revolved around contrasting papers on the sub- | Jject of rural electrification in America. Bearing the brunt of the floor at- tack was a brief submitted by Hudson | ‘W. Reed, executive assistant of the | United Gas Improvement Co. At | tacking not only the execution of the rural electrification problem by the present administration, Reed also as- sailed the reasoning on which the program is based. “The history’ of government op- | eration or sponsorship of such proj- | ects here and elsewhere,” Reed said, “indicates that over and over again the taxpayers have had to pay the losses incurred. There is nothing in the present plan to indicate that his- tory will not again repeat itself.” No punches were pulled by two speakers of the morning, Richard J. | Beamish, counsel for the Public Service Commission of Pennsvivem~ and Murray D. Lincoln, secretary of the Ohio Farm Bureau, as they at- tacked Reed's conclusions and even his motives in presenting them. . MAN IS BELIEVED A HIT-RUN VICTIM Edward 0'Brien Is in Serious Con- dition—Was Found Lying in Street. Edward O’Brien, 34, believed by police to be a hit-and-run victim. was in a serious condition in Emergency Hospital today, suffering from severe head injuries. O’Brien, who lives at 915 Twentieth street, was found lying in the street at Eleventh and I streets last night. He was unable to explain his injuries, police said, in advancing the theory he was struck by an automobile that did not stop. Pvt. Joseph L. Proctor of the Traffic Bureau escaped with slight hurts last night when his motor cycle skidded, throwing him to the ground at Ben- ning road and Twenty-fifth street northeast while chasing a speeding automobile. Meanwhile Robert L. Lassater, 22, of Baoadway, N. C., was reported in a “slightly lmpmvat" condition in Emergency today. He received a frac- tured skull and ‘ infernal injuries Thursday night while riding in a car driven by James A. Sheppard, 23, of 4720 Reservoir road, which crashed into a parked machine in the 450 block of Conduit road. Charged with reckless driving, Sheppard was released under $500 bond for appearance in Police Court. Building Not Restored.

When Hern- don reached to make the change, ne said, the man drew a gun and ordered him into a back room. The robber then took all available money from the till and departed, the manager sald. The robbery was investigated by In- spector (then captain) B. W. Thomp- son, chief of the Detective Bureau. No clues to the robber were found. B PALISDES PARK FIELD DAY SCENE Conduit Road Citizens’ Asso- ciation Sponsors Cele- bration Today. ‘West Washington residents turned their attention today to the field day to be held this afternoon under the auspices of the Conduit Road Citizens’ Association at the newly-dedicated Palisades Park field house, and to the community dances planned for to- night. ‘The field day was to start at 2 pm. for children up to 15, while at 7 p.m. exhibitions of dancing—folk and tap— will be given by young people in cos- tume. Following this, community singing and dancing will be held, with emphasis on the old square dances and waltzes. Last night, the new $40,000 fleld house, constructed in the Colonial style as part of the $1,000,000 Public Works Administration local park im- provement program, was officially ded- icated, with C. Marshall Finnan, su- perintendent of the National Capital Parks, as speaker. ‘The house is of brick and stands on & new recreation center, at Edmunds and Sherrier places, above the Poto- mac River on the palisades, 5!, acres in extent. Finnan sald it will cost about $20,000 to landscape the grounds properly and install the required rec- reationai features that have been ap- proved. A base ball diamond, tennis courts and a small children’s wading pool are on the program. The fleld house is equipped with an auditorium, stage, model kitchen and other facilities. Last night it was used for the first time. Charles E. 8.

PAIN-RELIEF PmTICES TOLD AT THERAPY MEET By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 12.—The American Congress of Physical Therapy closed its annual meeting yesterday with reports on two developments asserted to relieve pain. Dr. Harold R. Bohlman, visiting surgeon, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, described how air contain- ing Oxygen was injected into Jjoints to cushion them and bring relief from acute or subacute arthritis. A single injection of air, he said usually relieves “water on the knee.” Dr. Benjamin Ulanski of Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, told how a stepped-up electric current was used to treat what is commonly known as “facial neuralgia”—a nervous ail- ment in the face with sharp shooting pains, the road to green pastures implication of at the end of AIRPORT LANDING SYSTEM MAPPED Zoning Plan Drafted—Radio to Instruct Incoming Planes. Whether the four air transport lines now operating out of Washing- ton Afrport will continue to use the fleld throughout the present construc- tion program will be determined early next week, following the completion of a temporary “zoning” plan of op- erations now being drafted by Samuel J. Solomon, manager of the airport. Operations of all airplanes not equipped with radio has been pro- hibited at the local fleld during the course of construction, and the air- port control tower went into full operation yesterday afternoon to han- dle all take-offs and landings during the time required for construction of paved runways, aprons and taxi strips, estimated at two months. At an emergency meeting of local operations officials of the four air- lines with Solomon yesterday it was decided to hold in abeyance until Monday a decision as to the continu- ing of flight operations here while oonstruction is in progress. Whether operations will be con- tinued will depend upon the safety guarantees afforded by a zoning plan under which all pilots using the local airport may be kept advised from hour to hour of the precise condition of the landing area. This will be done by dividing the airport into 12 or more zones, each numbered, and providing each pilot with a map show= ing the zones and identification num- bers. Before approaching the airport each pilot will be required to contact the airport control tower by radio and will be advised as to which areas are free for landing. With his copy of the zoning chart before him the pilot can then plan his landing prior to arrival. The ruling that every plane using the airport must be radio equipped has been made to apply to local sig! seeing airplanes operating from the | field, Solomon said. Copies of the zoning charts are to be made av | able at the airport Monday morni Solomon said.

The National Scene BY ALICE ROOSEVELT LONGWORTH. EW YORK, September 12.—The President says we are well on and still waters. In North Carolina the President has interpreted the twenty-third Psalm in terms of the New Deal to an enthusiastic audience. At the opening of his speech he pointed to a rainbow in the sky. He could not very well go counter to New Deal policy by saying that it led to a pot of that unhallowed megal, gold. His speech carried the accustomed a hand-out of Government checks the arc of promise. Mr. Roosevelt gave his hearers to understand that he, the good shepherd, is leading us to lie down in green pastures beside the still waters. Quite obviously he considers that we are his sheep. Possibly we are, though many of us have the feeling that we may be merely goats. Alice Longworth. himself in this address? But with whom is Mr. Roosevelt identifying Copyright, 1036.)
