* ward. District 2700, ROOSEVELT ENDS S00MLE TOUR . Will Spend Busy Day at ¢ White House—Départs F Again Tomorrow. ! _ BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. Radiating confidence, President Roosevelt returned to the White House today after a 5000-mile cam- paign tour, more strenuous in many ways than any other he has ever. made. Mr. Roosevelt arrived in Wash- ington at 8:30 am. after an over- night journey from his Hyde Park home and motored immediately to the White House. He gave orders on his arrival that he wanted no engagements made for him during the day as he intended tc keep busy et his desk in his pri- vate study, disposing of accumulated mail and office routine and check- ing up with his administration chiefs. More important, he let it be un- derstood he wanted as much spare time as possible to work out his final campaign plans and to draft a major political address he is scheduled to ;Ake Wednesday night at Worcester, ass, W His only visitors were Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau and Harry Colmery of Kansas, newly elected national commander of the American Legion. The President's stay here will be brief. He will leave Washington to- morrow night for a two-day invasion of New England, which will include, besides the major address in Wor- cester, a dozen or so impromptu speeches in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. He will go back to his Hyde Park home after his New England stumping, arriving there Thursday and remaining until Sunday night, when he will return to Washington. ‘The President’s plans from then on @re still indefinite. It is certain, how- ever, that he will make a Nation-wide appeal to the electorate on the night of October 31 before a huge Demo=- cratic rally in Madison Square Garden, New York. The President intends then to go to his Hudson River home and remain until after the election is over and the outcome known. Indica- tions are that he will make his elec- tion eve talk to the American people over a Nation-wide hook-up from the library in his old home on the Hudson. To Vote at Hyde Park, On election”day he will cast his ballot in the town hall voting booth at Hyde Park village, and sit at home election night with his family to hear the returns. Soon after it is all over, the Presi- dent plans a sea journey, probably off the Florida coast or in the waters of the West Indies, for a week or two of complete rest. At the conclusion of that vacation the time will have arrived for him to make his annual pilgrimage to Warm Springs, Ga., where each Thanksgiving day for a number of years he has dined with the infantile paralysis victims at the ‘Warm Springs Foundation. Accord- ing to these tentative plans, the President probably will not spend much time in Washington before Christmas.

He then will visit Hartford and New Haven, having luncheon at the latter place with Dr. Harvey Cushing, father- in-law of his oldest son, James Roose- velt. He will then head for Hyde Park, making frequent stops along the way, including brief talks at Bridgeport, Norwalk, Stamford and Danbury. On October 28 the President will make a speech at the ceremonies in- cident to the fiftieth anniversary of the dedication of the Statue of Liberty at New York. At Emporia, Kans., the first stop after leaving Topeka, Landon ex- changed greetings with his friend, William Allen White, famed Emporia editor. “Well, here's the old he-devil him- FOUND.

As the turned with aboard, Advisers Are in Party. Accompanying the nominee were his advisers, Ralph West Robey, former Columbia economics professor, and Olin Glenn Saxon, head of the Re- publican National Committee research staff; James T. Williams of the Hearst newspapers and Landon's personal party. Landon is scheduled to arrive in Los Angeles at 2 pm. (P. 8. T.) Tuesday for an address in the coliseum there at 8 pm. His subject has not been announced. Aides sald speeches entitled “The Con- stitution,” “Broken Promises” and “Civil Service” virtually were com- pleted and ready for delivery. The text of Landon’s statement: ‘Mr. James Roosevelt in an address at Gardner, Mass., on Friday night on behalf of his father's candidacy for re-election to the presidency, made a statement regarding the N. R. A. There are two versions of what young Roose- velt said, one taken down in shorthand, according to the press, at the time the statement was made, and the other given out by the speaker himself the next day, and then changed by him some two hours later. “As to the actual intentions of the President regarding the N. R. A. the two statments are in essence identical. Stenographic Report. “The statement taken from the stenographic record of the Worcester Telegram reads, as vouched for by that paper, as follows: “If the N. R. A. had not been knocked out we would not have had as much unemployment. The way to correct this is to shorten hours of labor. “‘In order to accomplish this, the President intends to continue the prin- ciples of the N. R. A. by going before the people and seeking an amendment to the Constitution to make the prin- ciples of the N. R. A. the law of the land’ “Mr. James Roosevelt’s own account of what he said, as quoted in the press, is as follows: ““These are the purposes of the N. R. A. The administration is pledged to carry out the purposes of the N. R. A, in every constitutional man- ner. “‘Should there be no way in which this can be accomplished, which we do not admit, I, as an individual, see no alternative but to ask the people for the right to make those purposes constitutional through the Congress. of the United States.’ President’s “Intentions” Cited. “Without attempting to unravel Mr, train started, Landon surprise and jumped m James Roosevelt’s constitutional theo- ries as expressed in the last sentences ® | of his statement (they have & certain New Deal smack about them), this much is clear in both statements, , th Roosevelt under- stands the President still intends to make N.

If the President has changed his mind and recognizes his errors, let him say so. Let him say so in plain language. Until we have such an ad- mission of error, the choice before us is clear.’ “In my address at Detroit on Octo- ber 13, showing that the actions of the President do not conform with his campaign pleas that he stands for in- dividual enterprise and favors an all- powerful Federal Government, brush- ing away State rights and home rule, I said: “‘If the President thinks agricul- tural and industrial anarchy can be prevented only by the re-enactment of the principles of N.

I have made it plain that I stand for the maximum of individual liberty consistent with the welfare of all the people, but with no national economic planning that has the Government dominating labor, industry and agri- culture instead of exercising the nor- mal governmental service of prevent- “The President must. specifically deny that his son’s views are his views.

Throughout the district families abandoned thelr homes in fear of renewed shocks. A slight tremor last night added to the general appre- hension. Seven members of a family of eight died in one crash. The father, the only survivor, was found badly in- jured in the ruins of his home. The mother died beside her five children to whom she apparently rushed when the first quake shook the district. ‘The body of her brother-in-law was taken from the ruins of another room. Fifteen bodies represented the vic- tims in four other families. Power Plant Put Out. ‘The generators of the great power house near here, which serves a region 150 miles wide, were silent—thrown out of operation by the shocks. At Cornegliano, the step-son of the caretaker of the famous old castle, which is a "village landmark, was killed when a huge stone was shaken loose from a castle tower and plunged through the roof of the caretaker's lodge. The stepson’s wife was badly in- jured with five other members of the family, including a baby girl.

WENDEL KIDNAPING, 22222 TRUE BILLS FOUND Indictments Kept Secret Un- til U. S. Attorney Is Ready. By tre Assoclated Press. NEWARK, N. J,, October 19.—The Federal grand jury handed up indict- ments to Federal Judge Guy L. Fake in the Paul H. Wendel kidnaping case today, but the court announced they would be kept secret until the United States attorney was ready to release After receiving the true blils, Judge Fake granted the request of the jury foreman, Julius Rippel, that the jury’s term be continued until November 30 “for further stu ‘The court disclosed neither the number of indictments nor the num- ber of persons named. The jury was reported last Summer to have or- dered indictments drawn against six persons in the strange sequel to the Lindbergh-Hauptmann case, but since then it has held several sessions and Questioned many additional witnesses. ‘The jury heard no witnesses today. It was motion day at the Federal Court, and the court room was crowded when the jurors filed in and stood in a circle around the bench. Wendel, former Trenton attorney, charged he was kidnaped in New York, tortured.into making a false confession in the Lindbergh baby kidnaping, and then brought to New Jersey. Investigation of the “con- fession” delayed for three days the execution of Bruno Richard Haupt- mann for the crime. Schools (Continued From First Page.) lawyer only half that time, to pre- pare his amended answer. The ques- tion involved concerned the construc- tion of a statute passed by Congress in 1915, ch stated: “All puplils whose parents are em- ployed officially or otherwise in the District of Columbia shall be ad- mitted and taught free of charge in ‘the schools of said District.” West contended the statute was “permissive,” while Lynch held that it was mandatory, and required that children living in Maryland and Vir- ginia be given the same status as Dis- trict children. After questioning counsel as to DIENERS 122122 SENW, PhoneDI3218 RUG CLEANING SPECIAL LOW PRICES NOW on cleaning and storing of Swmmer ediate ser whether any District pupils had been excluded from any of the schools, and they had not, Justice Bai- sald: “I do not think this statute vests in the superintendent of schools any dis- cretion to exclude one class and not another.” West based his argument mainly on the contention that the public in terest would not be seryed by the issu- ance of a writ of mandamus. Citing figures to show that the popu- lation of the District increased by 109,000 from 1930 to 1935, he said that “something of an emergency” exists. He told the court that if the statute ‘were construed to impose & mandatory duty on Dr. Ballou to take in Maryland and Virginia puplls who apply, the paradoxical situation would arise, of the official being physically unable to comply with the law. “I would agree with you that they shbuld be enrolled, were the power vested in the superintendent of the Board of Education to provide ade- quate mnn.m for them,” West con- tinued. “But that is not the case. The school officials repeatedly have asked Congress for more money, but -have not gotten it. If Congress had failed to supply adequate facilities, it is Con- gress who has fajled under this law, and not the superintendent of schools.” Ruling by Ballou. Because of the crowded conditions this year Ballou decided not to admit non-resident pupils to junior high schools, although allowing those who have started the junior high school course to finish it, West told the court. He said that there are accommoda- tions for only 11,000 junior high school students, while 13,000 already are enrolled. “I don't believe that Congress in- tended that the children of other States, who have schools of their own to go to, should be entitled to go to the District schools, to the detriment of our children, who may not attend Maryland and Virginia schools,” West declared. He said the requested order would work & public “mischief” to District children, while a contrary ruling would not greatly inconvenience non-resident pupils.

Since the opening of schools last month, all junior and senior high schools have been prohibited from ad- mitting non-resident pupils, the Board of Education basing its rule on an opinion of the late Willlam W. Bride, corporation counsel, who held that the non-resident pupil provisions “permissive” and not “mandatory. However, 51 senior high school puplls who had been eurolled in ‘Washington last year were permitted to enter Central and McKinley High Schools, and 150 to 200 other pupils, who also had been in the District schools last year ®and applied again, were denied enrollment because of the severe congestion. A large number of other pupils are known to have sought admission without making for- mal application. All of the senior high schools except Woodrow Wilson High School now have enrolled more than the physical accommodations of the buildings. At Woodrow Wilson and at Anacostia Junior-Senior High Schools, the en- rollments have not reached physical capacity, but they already exceed teacher capacity. Grades Are Overcrowded. In the elementary schools, while a number of schools already are over- crowded, the congestion involves grades or classes instead of buildings. For example, no additional fifth grade pupils can be accepted at the ‘Takoma School, but at nearby Whit- tier School, 50 pupils may be accom- modated, but third and fourth grade pupils excluded.
