Mr. Roosevelt left Rochester. shortly after 11 a. m. 'Central Standard Time) today.

He arranged to reach Washington tomorrow evening. Before departing, he had a final talk with his eldest son. James, who underwent a gasturic ulcer operation Sunday. The Chief Executive received physicians' assurances that James was recuperating satisfactorily. The President, after talking with Secretary Hull by telephone, told a station crowd at Rochester he had decided to return "straight through to Washington because, as you know, having read the papers, the condition of affairs in other parts of the world is extremely serious." Originally, the President had arranged to go back to the summer White House at Hyde Park, N.

Y. Mr. Roosevelt, after stating the seriousness of world affairs, added: "That is why as President, I have to go back to the national capital." Has Kept In Close Touch The Chief Executive, since his arrival at Rochester Sunday, has kept in close touch with Hull by telephone. His decision to rettirn to Washington today was reached after a lengthy conversation with the secretary of state.

"Not only am I going away with a full realization that every care will be taken with my oldest boy. but with a better knowledge of the very wonderful work that is being done for humanity as a whole in Rochester."

Asks A Czech League Delegate Comments On Chamberlain's Move GENEVA, Sept. 14. (Diplomats assembled in Geneva for a League of Nations meeting, were taken by surprise today by the announcement of British Prime Minister Chamberlain's visit to Adolf Hitler, and called it a "courageous act of great historical importance." "It is incredible," said one central European representative, "but it shows amazing courage." Czech Curiosity "Does this mean we go on the butcher's black or can it be our champion is going forth to battle?" asked a Czechoslovak spokesman. None of the leading delegations at Geneva except the British knew of Chamberlain's plans until the communique was issued in London.

British spokesmen previously indicated the Czechoslovak-Sudeten German question might be brought before the League of Nations with statements from the French and British foreign ministers. The spokesmen declined to elaborate, however, on when such a move might take place. Foreign Secretary Viscount Halifax is still in London and Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet still in Paris. Attention of the 20 foreign ministers and hundreds of diplomats here was drawn by the Czech crisis away from the league assembly and council session. Most of them maintained constant touch with their respective capitals to watch developments.

Limited Business Because of the crisis, activities were limited to the organization of committees for action on a score of questions when the crisis subsides. Earl De La Warr, British lord privy seal, who had been expected to return to Geneva after today's London cabinet meeting, remained at the British capital. Stanley Australian delegate, hurried off to London. Edouard Herriot, president of the French Chamber of Deputies, came to Geneva this afternoon, only to find a request from Premier Edouard Daladier to return to Paris immediately. Herriot talked briefly with Foreign Commissar Maxim Litvinoff of Soviet Russia and then left.

Many new industries in Germany are operating at capacity. Parley With MILES, Plebiscite Will Not Be Suggested By Chamberlain PARIS, Sept. 15. (Thursday) (if) Consideration of a plebiscite for the Sudeten Germans of Czechoslovakia has been excluded from any suggestions Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain will make to Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler in their Berchtesgaden meeting tomorrow, semi-official French circles close to the foreign office declared todaj. Although these sources said it was impossible to determine what results are likely to come from the British prime minister's search for peace, they said flatly that Britain and France were particularly in accord on that point.

Can Mobilize 4,000,000 PARIS, Sept. 14. (P) Informed quarters said today that the government had completed plans for mobilization, if necessary, of enough reservists to have an estimated 4,000.000 men under arms in the French empire. It was estimated that already were under arms, hundreds of thousands of them assigned to Maginot line which faces Germany. The plans said to have been completed would provide lor eventual mobilization of all classes from 1924 to 1931, inclusive men from 27 to 34 years of age.

Such a mobilization would be a natural move if the Czechoslovak-German crisis took an acute turn for the worst. Hence it was not surprising that plans had been drafted for an orderly massing of man-power. Intense political and diplomatic activity occupied foreign office experts and government leaders throughout the day. Tike-Thinkers' Must Find Political Parry WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Sept.

14. United States Senator Arthur H. Van-denberg (R-Mich) asserted to night that "like-thinkers" must find a political party "even though they have to invent one which will enable them to unite "on a common battle line." In a speech prepared for delivery at the ninth annual north ern dinner of Miami commit tee of One Hundred," the senior Michigan senator said he be lieved that more persons are thinking of their country rather than their party today than ever before since Lincoln pushed a coalition to essential victory in 1864." for one, want to save the American system," Vandenberg said. "I want solvent democracy and I want intelligent free enter prise. I want social-mindedness and practical social progress.

want reform which does not create more problems than it solves. want recovery, American-style, So, I believe, do at least 51 per cent of the American electorate "It makes no difference what you call the political party that produces these things. But it makes a great deal of difference if like-thinkers do not find a political party even though they have to invent one which will permit them to make common cause on a common battle line so they may win a common victory for our institutions, our tradi tions, and our children." CZECHOSLOVAKIA A BUDAPEST II Fuehrer Says He'll 'Gladly Receive Him'; Nazis Feel Proud LONDON, Sept. 14. (IP) Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain in a history-making attempt to save world peace tonight derided to fly to Germany tomorrow for a conference with Adolf Hitler himself.

Hitler told the 69-year-old prime minister he would "gladly receive" him at Berchtesgaden, the Fuehrer's Bavarian mountain retreat in south Germany. There Great Britain's prime minister will try to stem the swiftly rushing current toward war a current hastened by bloody civil strike in the Sudeten German regions of Czechoslovakia today. Chamberlain's decision to carry his all but frustrated European appeasement policy to this dramatic climax, meeting face-to- face the man who holds Europe's fate in his hands, was conveyed to Hitler in this message: "In view of the increasingly critical situation I propose to come over at once to see you with the view to trying to find a peaceful solution. I propose to come across by air and am ready to start tomorrow. Please indicate the earl-ist time at which you can see me and suggest a place of meeting.

I should be grateful for a very early reply. '(Signed) Neville Chamberlain." Approved By Cabinet A few hours before the an nouncement was made at No. 10 Downing street, the British cabi net in extraordinary session had approved this bold and unprece dented move to try to forestall European war over Czechoslo vakia. The decision was reached in close consultation with France, Britain's ally, and in Paris the for eign office spokesman declared Chamberlain had been given a free hand for negotiations at Berchtesgaden. First Flight of His Life Making the first flight of his life, the tall, grim-visaged prime minister is to embark on one of the greatest peace missions of recent history at 8:30 a.

m. tomor row (2:30 a. EST). It is expected his plane will reach Munich about 1 p. where there will be a half hour wait before proceeding to Berch tesgaden.

By mid-afternoon the spokes man of Europe's great democracies will sit down for a fateful talk with the leader of a rearmed Greater Germany who last Mon day proclaimed himself anew the protector of the German minority in troubled Czechoslovakia. German radio stations quickly broadcast news of Chamberlain's coming, announcing it almost at the same time the disclosure was made in London and breaking propaganda ministry proudly de- In Berlin a spokesman for the prapaganda ministry proudly de clared "this climax speaks for it self." Please Turn To Page Eleven Bans Picture of G. 0. P. 'Catering To Big Shots' COLUMBUS, Sept.

14. VP) A picture of Republicanism cater ing to "the big shots only" must be smashed by "a program that puts all America back at work," Chairman Glenn Frank of the Re publican program committee declared here today. "The New Deal has sought to convince the millions that it alone is concerned with social and hu man values," Dr. Frank said in a speech prepared as the keynote address before the party's platform convention. "It has persistently insinuated that, if the Republicans gained control of the government, they would stop relief, Junk all public works, wipe out all social security provisions, turn a cold shoulder to the unemployed, advance no social legislation on its own initiative, and look out for the big shots only, in the pious hope that maybe something good would strickle down to the rank and file of Americans.

"We must smash that picture of Republicanism. And there is just one way we can smash it, and that is with a program that really works, a program that puts all America back at work." TARZAN THE FEARLESS A new and breathless sequence of the stirring daily strip By Edgar Rice Burroughs Starts Today THE FREE PRESS FREE PRESS WANT ADS PAY odical Germans searched in vain tonight for a historical parallel to the dramatic decision of Bri tain's Prime Minister Neville' Chamberlain to visit Recht fuehrer Hitler. Chamberlain's eleventh hour request and Hitler's affirmative reply for a heart-to-heart talk on the Czechoslovak crisis was the most startling event in a day of rapid fire developments which included unofficial advice from the United States consulate to American tourists to go home. Germans agreed Kaiser Wil-helm's telegraphic exchange with Czar Nicholas of Russia on the eve of the World War was the nearest parallel to Chamberlain's action. No Comparison They found this in no wise comparable, however, to the un-usualness of tomorrow's meeting between the premier of a mighty British Empire and the undisputed master over the life and death of a virile, reborn nation of 75,000,000 Germans.

Every German was conscious that history of the gravest consequence would be made between the two government heads at Hitler's Berchtesgaden retreat in the Bavarian mountains. No sooner had the news of Chamberlain's coming been announced than friends called one another on the telephone and groups in restaurants and theatergoers eagerly bought up early editions of newspapers in the hope of learning more. Pride and Feeling of Relief That Germany again was a world power which can even induce the British prime minister to come into its confines at a moment of highest international tension was more than counterbalanced by the feeling of relief at the possibility that war might yet be averted over the Czechoslovak-Sudeten dispute. Many Germans hinted that meeting must be of the nature of a give and take. If it were to be a one-sided proposition, they suggested that Chamberlain need not come.

Seven w7ere taken to a hospital and 26 were cut and bruised. One girl jumped from a window and was critically injured. Others were pinned beneath wreckage'.

"Had it not been for the tables," said Marvin Windes, supervisor of the study room, "many more of the pupils might have been hurt." ness is "going to get a fair deal from the government." "It is vain to hope that such treatment will emanate from the White House Congress can, and I hope will, pass legislation which will encourage business and put the country-back on its feet." Bridges' Proposals Measures he proposed as "vitally necessary steps" by the next Congress were: "1 Trim expenditures to the bone and make a definite start at balancing the national budget. "2 Take government out of competition with business so that industry's investments have a fighting chance. "3 Overhaul and revise the entire tax structure so as to encourage business to once more broaden operations. "4 Amend the present Wagner Labor Relations Act and appoint a non-partisan board to administer it, so as to make it fair to employees, employers and the public, and thus restore peace to industry.

Georgia's Unit System Under Georgia's system, each county has a certain number of I unit votes and the candidate with a plurality in the county wins them. To obtain the nomination, a candidate must win a majority of the unit votes, President Roosevelt criticized Talmadge as well as George in asking Georgia Democrats to send i Camp to the Senate. He called George "too conservative" and said Talmadge would "contribute little to practical government." The former governor, a critic of the administration, ran on a plat-; form of providing homesteads for the needy.

Writing in the American Magazine, he said: "I have never once discussed the third term question with Pres- Other Election Results Other elections of the week, mostly held Tuesday, produced the following results: Former Governor Frank D. Fitzgerald was given the Republican gubernatorial nomination in Michigan, to oppose Governor Frank Murphy, Democrat, in the November elections. Vermont Republicans, clinging to a State tradition of keeping their office holders in office, renominated Governor George D. Aiken and Senator Ernest W.

Gibson. They will be opposed in November by Fred C. Martin and John McGrath, Democrats nominated without opposition. In South Carolina, Burnet P. Maybank was the apparent winner of a Democratic run-off primary for the governorship, equivalent to election.

(IP) Several hundred producers and dramatic critics brought the second national convention of the legitimate theater to a close today in a flurry of discussions that treated on most every subject from revival of the. road theater and labor union controversies to the effect the next world war may have upon the amusement industry.
