PRESIDENT HOME FOR ANNIVERSARY Family Gathers at Hyde Park for 82d Birthday of Mother. By the Associated Press. HYDE PARK, N. Y., September 21. ~President Roosevelt arrived today and left a few minutes later for his Dutchess County home. John, his youngest son, and the children of Mrs. John Boettiger, a daughter, met the train. The President hurried back home to help his mother, Mrs. James Roose- velt, celebrate her arrival at an ener- getic 82 years of age. * Behind him in Washington he left & much-improved Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, who, however, was still under doctor’s orders to remain quiet in her room for one or two days, com- pleting a cure for flu. Sara Delano Roosevelt celebrated her anniversary in the same house to which she came as a bride, 56 years ago, and in which she has made her home ever since—a rambling stucco home on the Hudson River, set in giant old trees. Evew year her birthday gifts come in all the day, with letters and tele- grams and cards and radiograms. But not a package is even peeked into until the family dinner hour, when &ll are piled about her plate and on a little table beside her—and son, grandchildsgn and great-grandchil- dren watch her open them. As always at Hyde Park, Sara Delano Roosevelt presides at one end of the dinner table, her son, Franklin Delauo Roosevelt, at the other. There's a birthday cake with 21 candles on it— “the place at which the Roosevelts quit counting the years—and the candles are handed around so all can blow at once and make a wish for the one hav- ing the anniversary. At 82, Sara Delano Roosevelt throws back her head when she laughs—whica s often—with the same gesture as he. son. She has two equally energetic eisters, Dora Delano Forbes of Paris and Mrs. Price Collier of New York and Tuxedo, and a brother, Deric A Delano, who is a member of six Fed- eral boards devoted to philanthropy, art, architecture and science. In her home community, Sara Delano Roosevelt is active in church 3ffairs, is a sponsor of county fairs and horse shows; always helps judge $he baby contests. Her influence overflows into Pough- keepsie, where she has several phil- anthropies, including baby clinics, and where she dedicated to her husband the James Roosevelt Memorial Library, which she sustains. She does her full share, too, in keeping up the Roosevelt reputation for rambling. Last Spring she took a trip to Texas to see her grandson “Elliott and his family, and she has | twice this past Summer made the long jaunt to her Summer home in Campo- llo, New Bmunswick. Members of the family who were to ®e with her today included Mr. and Mrs. John Boettiger and the latter's children, Eleanor and Curtis Dall; Mrs. James Roosevelt and her small daughters, Sara and Kate, and John Roosevelt. The President's sqn, Frank- lin, jr, is on & naval science cruise; James was said to be detained by ‘business; Elliott and his family were unable to make the long trip from Fort Worth, Tex.

Proctor. As | a result of the hearing, action on the | suit was postponed, attorneys for the committee stating that the committee had no present intention of bringing the officials before it and would notify it should require their presence. the committee intended to seek crim- inal prosecution, rather than to make its principal effort in defense of the 4 civil action. Legion (Continued From First Page.z repel aggression and invasion: guard | against wer through neutrality that refuses to makd ether nations’ quarrels our own, that is willing to endure the sacrifice of apparent profit through belligerent trade in the interest of greater peace. * * * “If war comes, in spite of peaceful example, in spite of our will and de- termination to give no cause for war, in spite of our desire to deal fairly and live peacefully, if war must come, let it be the business of the Nation. “Let our every resource be available to the Nation's defense! Let no one gain from the sacrifice of the men and women who toil that the armies and the navy may be fed, that the belch- ing guns may be supplied! In brief let vhe profit be taken out of war.” Murphy, whose address was made in presenting his annual report, made public Saturday night, recommended, “Let every man and woman in Ame:- ica study your program for peace. “Let them suggest, if they can, a better plan, based upon the stark real- ities of the day and the very hour. and, failing that, let them join with the American Legion in pressing with unrelenting vigor and determination for the enactment of legislation that, if it cannot insure peace, will help to prevent war from coming to America.” Guardians of Liberty. Newton D. Baker, World War- time Secretary of War, hailed the American Legion as “the guardian of | American principles of liberty” in an international situation “that may fill the stoutest heart with concern.” To thousands of Legionnaires Baker described the rise of “strange philoso- phies” in other countries of the world and said, “You will find your fellow citizens looking more and more to you for guidance. “The situation in the world at 00.

There have grown up in the world strange philosophies, different from any we have seen and they are mastering the minds and hearts of many men. “There is scarcely a nation on the | face of the earth at this hour that is not fearful of a removal of con- flict. “If the American Legion has one mission above another it is to see| | that the principle of liberty, of in- ! | dividual liberty is not surrendered : in defenence to any political heresy.” | Countries Armed to Teeth., | The former War Secretary said “it | is possible to find at least a half dozen | | countries armed to the teeth, which | have embraced the philosophy that it | i3 permissible for them to exhaust re- | sources of science and united action for economic purposes.” “The inescapable consequence of the adoption of that philosophy,” he | said, “is that the people surrender the principles of liberty and submit them- | selves to dictatorship.” “Whatever may be the facts about the difficulties of democracy—and | they are many—nevertheless, this is true, that the rule of the majority | with all of its difficulties is always | better than the rule of the individual dictator. “The important principle for us to realize here is that we have met for the discussion of democratic prin- ciples, and not for the supine acquies- ance to rule of force.” Kansan Claims Lead. In pre-election maneuvering Harry W. Colmery, Topeka, Kans., attorney, claimed a slight advantage in a prob- able three-way fight. Colmery's headquarters said he had 2 minimum of 326 votes as the result | of State caucuses, coupled with de- partment decisions before the conven- | tion. They listed these as 14 from South Carolina, 8, from New Mexico, 78 from Pennsylvania, 25 from Kansas, 14 from Maryland, 19 from West Vir- ginia, 40 from Indiana, 31 from the Dakotas and 52 out of Ohio's 55. Optimistic of his own chances, Quimby Melton, Griffin, Ga., news- paper publisher, declared: “They can talk about it being all over, but I'm in there until the last vote is counted.” Ray Kelly of Detroit, remaining| member of the “big three,” said, “I am an active candidate this year but if delegations already have pledged their support, I hope for it next year.” Informed sources sald that Kelly'’s big bid was for 1937, rather than this year. John Lewis Smith of Washington, D. C, and Dan Daugherty of Malden, Mass., suggested as possibilities, were not actively campaigning. Harry E. Ransom of Milwaukee, un- opposed to succeed Fred M. Fuecker of Seattle as head of the “40 et 8, Legion honor organization, said he “would give his right arm for the job.” New York, Montreal and Los An- geles were contending for the 1937 convention. Joan Blondell and Dick Powell, movie actors, were married aboard the liner Santa Paula at San Pedro, Callf., shortly before the ship sailed Saturday night for New York. They are shown —Copyright, A.

This would be an attempt to work out an “ever- normal granary” plan. Others Are Designated. Designated to serve with Cooke on the Drought Committee are Prof. Harlan H. Barrows, Chicago, of the | National Resources Committee; Dr. H. H. Bennett, chief of the Soil Con- | servation Service; Dr. L. C. Gray, chief of the department’s Land Econo- mics Division; Col. F. C. Harrington, assistant works progress administra. tor; Col. Richard C. Moore, Kansas City, Mo, Army Engineer Corps: John C. Page of the Reclamation Bureau and Dr. Harlow S. Person of the Rural Electrification Administration. It appeared today that crop insur- ance plans first would be worked out for wheat, cotton and corn—in that order. Roy M. Green, official at the Agricultural Department, said nearly 100 persons had been assembling data for several months, as a possible basis for crop insurance. Green said data on “sample” coun- ties had been assembled from the production reports between 1959 and 1935 of some half million wneat farmers. A similar study on & half million cotton farmers who cultivated 38, 000,000 acres of that staple also has been under way. Green said in- surance data on 55,000,000 acres of corn, involving another million farm- ers, likewise was being pushed. Capper to Offer Plan. A possibility that several crop-in- surance plans may be offered Congress was seen. Senator Capper, Republican of Kansas, backer of Gov. Alfred M. Landon, announced several weeks ago he would introduce & crop-insurance measure. Senator Pope, Democrat, of Idaho introduced a crop-insurance bill at the last session. Crop insurance is not & new idea. Secretary Wallace has declared that China for centuries stored grain in good years as a protection against poor also has referred to the Biblical story of Joseph and his plan of storing grain in the seven “fat years” for the seven “lean years.” A landslide, roaring down the side of 6.400-foot Raven Mountain into Lake Loen in Western Norway, set up a huge wave that At left: The side of the mountain, where part of the cliff broke away.

He declared that if the average wheat farmer agreed to pay a premium of | from one to two-thirds of his crop above normal in surplus production | years he could be guaranteed a 75 per cent of normal crop in poor years. | Green said farmers must be assured | enough in bad years to meet fixed charges—taxes, debts and seed for | another crop—and at the same time not be paid s much that they would be encouraged to neglect crops. . The premium for the insurance ‘would vary greatly in different regions, | he believed. Mr. Roosevelt said the lan should be based on individual farms “to avoid making farmers of one region pay the risks of another region.” | Secretary Wallace has said that | some type of acreage and production | control probably would have to be coupled with any national insurance | plan. Otherwise, he said, the sur- pluses that might be piled up through | & series of normal yields could wreck the venture. Mr. Roosevelt suggested that insur- ance be “available only to farmers co- operating in farm and soil conserva- tion programs.” . Chicory Is Exhausted. All Americans complain of the cof- fee in France. They like to put the cheaper chicory in it, but one man did manage to get a decent cup of coffee by ordering cup after cup until the waiter told him, “we have no more chicory, sir.” “Good!” said the diner. “Now bring me a cup of coffee.” JONES CANCELS BANKERS SPEECH R. F. c.'Head Says He Is Not Well Enough to Ad- dress Convention. By tne Associated Pres: SAN FRANCISCO, September 21.— ‘The American Bankers’ Association opened its sixty-second annual con- vention here today with a gap in the program, due to the departure last night for the East of Jesse Jones, Re- construction Finance Corp. chairman. Jones, who was on the program as speaker of the first general session tomorrow, left a message to Robert V. Fleming of Washington, D. C., president of the association. Fleming sald the message, which he was asked to read at the session to- morrow, explained that Jones did not feel well enough to give the address. ‘The R. F. C. head was in an air- plane accident in Texas some time 8g0. Jones telegraphed here today in re- sponse to an inquiry that, although | his health has greatly improved, he still felt unequal to the task of ad- | dressing the convention. Jones, who is en route to Washing- ton, filed the telegram from Sparks, Nev., to the Associated Press. “After a quiet rest in California of several weeks, my health is greatly improved,” the R. F. C. head said, “but I concluded that to address the convention and personally greet so many friends would be taxing my strength too much and that prudence prompted my avoiding this. “I asked President Robert V.
