THE ROOSEVELT MAGIC (From New York Herald Tribune) The President's fireside speeches have become stereotyped in form by this time, They remain iresh and original in phraseology and emotional appeai as ever. By every standard, the Friday nighl chat was one of his best. If he nad ever last winter faltered in ms self- confidence or hesitated us to his political course, here was an end "i doubts. The rich voice, the calm assurance, the adroit catchwords, the note of simple Sincerity and of genial friendliness to all mankind punctuated by neat jabs at ail who oppose the old magic was there without a flaw.

It would be easy enough to state the formula for the composition of these Take a pinch (just a pinch i of humor, mix a perfunctory plea for the profit system and a few kind words for co-op-ration with a vicious gibe at the rich, add an attack upon the critics by pinning a new tag on them ingeniously designed to tar them with utterly undeserved prejudice the advocate of this technique, Mr Thurman Arnold, suggest the use of we diess the weak spots in noble sentiments and throw the facts out the is as easy as that, But to make it sound so plausible and so easv to understand, to convey an air of complete fairness and warm human kindness while using every underhand trick to mislead ana prejudice the listener! These are the arts of political magic at its peak. Perhaps the most ingenious nand- ling of a difficult issue was the fashion in which the President at last came out into the open with respect to Democratic primaries. He has heretofore resented every implication that he would do such a thing. Several separate times he has asserted his own neutrality his aids and alter ego went right ahead doing their best to purge the party of any Senator who had voted against even one of the Newj Deal measures. The flresider blithely ignored this malodorous record, made a noble denial of acting as President in the premises and announced his active participation in the Democratic primaries as leader of the Democratic party in behalf of For good measure, in utter contradiction of the stand of his yes-men in Iowa, he announced that it was not opposition to any one measure that concerned him! Perhaps the oiliness became visible here.

But it was a tough spot; a slip might be excused. For an amusing example of the fashion in which Mr. Roosevelt calmlv remakes his facts to suit the political needs of his argument, let us note the statement concerning United States Steel, The price cut was to be made without a wTage cut, he announced. Yesterday morning the company bluntly contradicted him. And Wall Street, preferring sound economics to the wishful thinking of the New Deal, promptly resumed its bullish operations.

It was in the field of practical politics that the President made his one important departure Quite elearlv he foreshadowed the oos- sibillty that the 1940 fight might be fought along lines of radicalism vs. conservatism and regardless of party names. Indeed, he invited a reorganization of the parties upon this basis. Did he thereby intend to hold himself up as the one leader of the extreme left who could make such a fight? Mr Farley may know, but he is not telling. In any event, Mr Roosevelt has now' made nis political position clear and burned his bridges behind him He has no compromise to offer.

He intends to fight everv opponent of his program within the Democratic party. If he wins, he will be the Democratic party. TRAFFIC HEAYY AT GETTYSBURG Battlefield Town Is Thronged As Opening Of Seventy-; Fifth Anniversary Celebra tion Nears The Great Game of Politics Roosevelt Radio Technique By FRANK R. KENT Copj-njlit by ud With the opening of the Seventy- Fifth Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg and the final reunion of the Blue and Gray less than two days hence, a decided influx in touring traffic was noted in and near the Battlefield town over the past week-end. Traffic: was reported heavy along all the main highways leading into the historic site while many motorists were in evidence in Gettysburg Saturday night and all day Sunday.

On numerous occasions Saturday night and Sunday Center Square became flooded with automobiles which threatened traffic tie-ups but did not require police regulation. Long lines of cars stretched through the main streets of the town all day yesterday, making it necessary for the discontinuance of the traffic lights at the various intersections. In some cases near the center of towti police were required to regulate traffic for short periods of time. Heavy Traffic Near While motorists thronged the town itself, much of the traffic was evidenced in and near the large camps where the Union and Confederate veterans will be housed during the celebration. Much touring of other parts of the Battlefield also took place during the week-end.

Flags flying gaily under a perfect blue sky, uniforms of Civil war and World war veterans, of present-day soldiers and of dozens of motor policemen and CCC boys brightened the streets. The visitors found the temporary tented cities complete for the men who will occupy them for a week beginning Wednesday. G. A. R.

m. fSnst quarter 4th. Full moon 12th, (From the Baltimore Sun) The dispute which sent the Ringling Brothers circus back to winter quarters in the middle of the summer was apparently one of those things. The circus insisted that it couldn't continue its road tour unless the employes accepted a twenty-five per cent. cut.

The ployes insisted that they would not accept the cut. The consequence was that the circus has folded its tents and not exactly silently slipped away. The final humiliation came when, after several days of wrangling, the Mayor of Scranton, wrhere the debate was in progress, ordered the show to get out of town. That America should live to see the day when the Mayor of Scranton could order the circus to leave town and not be recalled, to say nothing of drawn and quartered, is something that few would have dared predict. The disaster suggests that the glamour of the circus fades very rapidly once the lion tamers, high-wire performers and clowns have taken off their makeup and taken on the role of negotiators.

A big tent, a group of gaudy wagons and consignments of elephants, lions and seals in special cars dazzle a community very briefly unless the bands are playing, the barkers barking, the ringmasters cracking their whips and the trapeze artists defying death. With magnificence reduced to conference. the Greatest Show on Earth became fair game for the Mayor of Scranton, Pa. Thus is a depressing business, and one can only imagine the comments upon this unbelievable situation were the late Dexter Fellowrs, who had at one time or another commented on every phase of circus existence but this one, here to observe it. Perhaps Dexter Fellows would have found the formula to keep the show going.

WASHINGTON, June 26 -Some months ago, in an article in The Saturday Evening Post, Mr, Alva Johnson stated what a good many people in Washington believed, tha4; Mr. Roosevelt's radio addresses were written mainly by Mr. Thomas Corcoran, whom the President jovially calls The Cork One occasion when Mr, Corcoran more or less boasted of the fact was cited. WHETHER this is mi of not. certainly there runs through the entire series of twelve a common thread They are linked and stamped by a orocedure which the more advanced of the young radicals close to the i dent, such as Mr.

Corcoran. used consistently from the start. Invariably they dwell upon the high intelligence of the FRANK KENT people to whom Mr. Roosevelt especially appeals and then proceed to deal with them as though they had no intelligence at all. PRETENDING to appeal to the reason of his great audiences, the President 's radio talks are aimed almost exclusively at their emotions.

Depending upon the charm of his voice and the picture of himself in the popular mind as the shining champion of the toilers, apparently his utterances are made in the belief that the great bulk of the people are incapable of grasping the discrepancies and contradictions when addressed through the ear, and that those who do grasp them can be disposed of by denunciation. The success with which he has operated along these lines is not much of a tribute to the character of his support but It explains it. It is an interesting fact that some of the more candid of the inside New Dealers privately concede the truth of this radio theory and. privately, discuss it quite realistically. FRIDAY night's address was a particularly good specimen of this New Deal technique.

For example, there was the avowal by Mr. Roosevelt of his purpose to enter Democratic primaries in various States in behalf of candidates. In the same breath, he insisted that, as President of the United States, he would not participate in the primaries or make a partisan appeal. he said, in his most dulcet tones, clearly Of course, that insults the intelligence. If Mr.

Roosevelt takes the part in the primaries he says he will, he takes it as President, and he will be potent in them only because he is President. Mr, Roosevelt and the President are one and the same person. He cannot, w'hile he is President. enter into State politics as a private individual. If he were a pri- vate individual it wouldn't, make any difference It is the fact that he is President that makes announcement important, BUT.

the assumption is that the people will not understand that; that they wiU accept as gospel the Roosevelt words and believe that he can. just by saying so, divest himself of the Presidential power ana the White House glamour and enter the primaries merely as Mr Roosevelt, the leader of Democratic party. Nor are the people supposed to note the complete omission of any mention of the evidence that the WPA relief organizations and relief funds are being used in support of Roosevelt candidates in different States; that the immense weight of the Federal machine has been, is and will be exerted for Administration candidates and against those who have shown independence. And they are not supposed to understand that Mr Roosevelt's personal announcement of his political purposes releases the Federal officials handling the people's money from all restraint. If the President can divest himself of his high office and enter the primaries as an individual.

why they? In brief, he has Jet the bars down for an unprecedented effort by the Federal machine, equipped with relief money, to dominate State politics. But the people are supposed not to realize that. Perhaps they THERE were in his latest address other declarations, the inconsistencies of which almost any degree of intelligence would detect. There was, for example, the pride with which he spoke of carrying out the promises of his 1936 platform, coupled W'ith conspicuous neglect to mention the completeness with which he had violated those in the 1932 platform There was, too, the unctuous and holy way in which he urged his liberal friends to be tolerant; to refrain from name-calling and put their trust in just after he had finished calling his opponents copperheads and reactionaries and attributing criticism of his wage-and-hour law to executives with incomes of $1,000 a day. who have been turning their employes over to the Government relief pure and obvious piece of demagoguery and class appeal.

THESE and other statements which will not stand up under any test of logic or consistency are to be found in the in fact, to be found in all of them. However, the top of Friday's talk was the extraordinary assertion that, though while as Mr. Roosevelt he intended to participate in the State primaries where it seemed desirable, as President he w-ould remain wholly aloof. That w'as the prize piece of effrontery. If the people swallowed that there really is no limit to their credulity and the New Deal corans and Cohens have adopted the effective way of dealing with least over the radio.

Girls are much impressed by the boy who seems to know his way around. Still they want you to be natural, just as you want them to be.

sav you are taking Ann to a movie. what to do: 1. Call for Ann at the door. Don't sit in the car and honk, expecting her to come rushing out, or whistle outside her house. 2.

Take off your hat when Ann comes to the door. 3. If she invites vou into the living room, go in and sit down for a minute. If her mother or father comes in greet you, rise and say, do you do?" 4. Help Ann put on her coat.

5. Open and close all doors. Never let Ann touch one. 6. Let her walk unaided or offer her your arm.

Don't, whatever vou do, shove her along by the elbow except when crossing a street or in difficult places. Then lightly place your hand above her elbow to assist her. 7. Help Ann into or out of the car, if you're driving. Don't, even though able, let her shift for herself.

8. Don't expect her to plan the entertainment. your job. When you ask for the date, say. Would you like to see the movie Tuesday 9.

When you go to a cafe, ask her what she'd like, and give her order to the waiter. If afraid, order a steak dinner suggest sodas or 10. If Ann has to be home by 10 p. see that there at that time. You'll get a reputation for dependability with Ann and her parents.

When you takr a girl up on her first mention of having fo go home, she may be surprised But next time she won't say it unless she means it. 11. Get yourself on your wray home before sent. No hostess enjoys asking her guest to leave. But what's a poor girl to do if you stay hour after hour and father pounds on the floor upstairs.

12. Remember bovs. a girl hates to shift for herself and any thing vou do for her is appreciated. the little things that count. 13, Come dressed neatly and suitable for any ordinary occasion and Ann will be pleased and oroud of you, and always prove yourself a gentleman.
