Roosevelt on the first anniversary of his presidency Saturday pointed the nation to a permanent plan for the eradication of "many other illenssses of the body-politic." Speaking at exercises of the American University here Roosevelt cited as the "salient" features of the last year the "amazing and universal increase and the intelligent interest which the people of the U. S. are taking in the whole subject of government." Welcomes Cooperation He welcomed the cooperation of the educational world in joining with businessmen and professional elements in going ahead. "We need a trained personnel in government," he said. "We need disinterested, as well as broad gauged public officials.

This part of our problem we have not yet solved, but it can be solved and it can be accomplished without the creation of national bureaucracy which would dominate the national life of our governmental system." Mr. Roosevelt spoke at the installation of Dr. Joseph M. M. Gray as chancellor of the university.

Dr. Gray awarded honorary degrees to the president and to Dr. Harold W. Dodds of Princeton and William Fraser McDowell of the Methodist Episcopal church. 'Crisis Was Cause' "In the broader problem of government, of all kinds, local and state and federal and international, 1 said the president, "we in this country today are thinking not merely in terms of the moment, but in terms that' apply to rest of our lives and to the of our children.

"It is true that the immediate cause of this logical and deep-seated interest was a crisis--an immediate crisis which broke over our heads a year ago. It would hi-ve been possible perhaps for al! of to have sought only a temporary- cure or the immediate illness of the nation. "We can be thankful that we have studied and are engaged in the process of eradicating the deeper causes of that illness and of many other illnesses of the body-politic."

Jose Robles and ed from the Brownsville school My academic and law studies were taken at the University of Virginia from which I obtained my law degree in 1925.

"After three years practice in Puerto Rico and Santo Domingo, where the Spanish Law Code prevails, I returned to Brownsville in 1928 and became associated in the practice of law with Maj. H. B. Galbraith. "My nine years of active law practice, as the third generation of lawyers in this county, coupled with a thorough knowledge of and of the prevailing local conditions creates in me the sincere belief that I am qualified for the position.

"I am a Democrat by birth and inclination. "I heartily accept and endorse the Canales resolution recently adopted by the Cameron County Bar association which in part Inhibits the judge of the Cameron County court at law from representing defendants charged with crimes in any of the state courts. "In conformity with my own principles and with those manifested by the voters of this county in the 1932 elections, if elected, I shall curtail the expenses of this court to the best of my ability and if the combination of the County Court at Law with the County court is sought as a matter of economy. I will gladly work to that end.
