By GEORGE HOLT i ii WSHINGTON OBSERVER Opening By Paul Mallon Of Span Charged THE PURPOSE WASHINGTON Oct There Is a popular notion that President Roosevelt if re-elected will ease down and swing to

you want a tip on this from the inside: read the Detroit speech over again In it you will find such significant hints as: are a thousand and one things still to be done There are many problems not yet solved It is not enough that we have ended the days of 1932 It is not enough that we have saved many homes Regarded as One of Outstanding Homes In America The flyer jumped backward as if he had stepped on a rattlesnake his face crimson he groaned For one awful ami seemingly endless moment the dark eyes held his blasting him with their dark lightnings And in the next breath a black dot appeared just beneath the flying silver thing It dropped swiftly The great bird burst into a blast of golden plumage and plunged downward the gold changing to funereal black From the falling dark speck there shot a sudden upward puff of silver white like a cannon fired A white mushroom It hung motionless the black dot swaying beneath it like the weight on the end of a pendulum beating out the seconds until the smoky trail of the once silver i bird fhould reach the brown hills Counting it out as a referee a fallen fighter The black curve ended with a little cry of pain which floated over the shallow valley And now the white mushroom with its pendant black dot was dropping swiftly through the breezeless air Lower and lower and the mush- 1 1 'I 1 I i ft The former hall" pictured above

TOUR President Will Speak Tonight at Worcester Mass WASHINGTON Oct 20 President Roosevelt hurried through a series of conferences today and with a major speech in his brief case turned toward New England tonight in quest of the 29 electoral votes of Rhode Island Massachusetts and Connecticut He canceled an afternoon press conference to provide time for 34th Street Bridge Over Pacific Ave Gulch Is Officially i Opened to Public Ten thousand Tacomans of the McKinley hill and Lincoln districts of Tacoma demonstrated last night that1 the poet was not altogether right when he said of the east and west that the twain shall They not oly met last evening for the dedication exercises at the official opening of the East 34th street bridge over Pacific avenue gulch but gave1 every indication that they intended to use the beautiful new span for frequent meetings in the future Planners of the celebration were unprepared for the huge turnout that responded to the invitation to witness the official opening of the bridge which replaces an old wooden structure that had been patched up for some years while means of financing a new span were sought Automobiles lined the streets for many blocks in every direction from the stand erected at the Pacific avenue end of the bridge Hundreds came on foot besides Mayor George A Smitley had a hard time getting through to cut the ribbon when all the congratulations had been expressed but Chairman A Harris president of the McKinley Hill Improvement club announced through the loud speaker that the opening had been officially accomplished and the jolly crowd surged across the bridge Lights Are Gay The city light department had strung lines of red white and blue lights across the bridge on either side which with the handsome ornamental lights gave a gala effect A loud speaker furnished dance music but the interest in the bridge itself and perhaps the cool air seemed to discourage the invitation to trip the light fantastic Commissioner A Bergersen City Engineer Forsbeck and A Anderson city bridge en- gineer and designer of the struc- ture were among the principal ones expressing congratulations and giving credit where due Governor Martin was prevented from attending by engagemnts and Murrow head of the state highway department was reported ill but A Davis represented the state department and Hoffman state director for the WPA and his assistant Thomas spoke for the federal agency- which contributed 45 per cent of the bridge cost of the bridge was introduced Com missioner Ira Davisson responded to commendation on

Accuses Policies of Undermining Liberty in Los Angeles Speech "LOS ANGELES Oct Gov Alf Landon accused the new deal of individual liberty and with basic Democratic principles tonight hi demanding that President Roosevelt be ousted in behalf of a to our Before an open-air audience of 75000 persons in the huge Los Angeles Coliseum the presidential nominee clamixed his west coast dash with an assertion that Mr re-election would be interpreted as an indorsement of policies Landon said had the power of government and threatened we are to preserve our American form of the Republican candidate said administration must be The Kansan said congressional investigations budded and bloss9med in unusual and rank during the Roosevelt administration Some listeners interpreted his remarks as referring tP the investigation of Dr old age pension movfr ment when the governor said: Charges Politics in Probe a congressional Investigation has been carried on for what seems to be purely political ends In this case the thinly veiled purpose apparently was to discredit a political movement which the controlling party wished to crush" Dr Townsend has urged followers unable to vote for William Lemke Union party candidate to support Landon Turning to new deal relief spending the nominee said: "There is unmistakable evidence that these vast funds have been used to force congressmen and senators to support administration measures is also unmistakable evidence that they have been used to prevent criticism by officials and representatives of local communities There is unmistakable evidence that these funds have been used in an attempt to prevent freedom of choice at the polls can be more shameful than the way some of these federal funds have been distributed Special groups and special localities have been singled out solely for political reasons Relief funds have been used in an attempt to force our less fortunate fellow citizens to vote for the return of this administration to power Charges Favoritism In Aid managers at relief have played favorites they have developed two classes of common and Making the first major address of his final campaign for the

to uphold the constitution of the United States Fortunately the supreme court had the prestige- and the integrity to withstand the abuses that were heaped upon But for the private citizen it was not

Dakota Northern Rocky Mountain States Also Hit put thousands cf people to Vjrk The automobile in dustry and every other industry still need great improvements in their relationship to their employs Certain steps looking toward that end (spreading of the work) have been taken but they are not sufficient Mr Roosevelt did not say what would be sufficient Koi si did he mention any of the 1001 things The simple truth is he has the purpose but not the program that is not yet CIRCUMSTANCES Presidents in their first terms usually live for re-election In their second terms Ihey live for history At least they are subject to these highly important considerations The few around Mr Roosevelt who really seem to understand him know he has not been wholly immune to the usual requirement of the first four years and do not believe he will be different from most presidents in their second terms Consequently they expect him to do anything except swing to the right The program to carry out his purpose they say will be subject primarily to circumstances The biggest circumstance to be considered is Congress It will be more conservative and less amenable to White House discipline (The last Republican canvass is said to have indicated a Republican gain of 71 a 84 House seats which is prob-y too high by 23 per cent or re but nevertheless an indication) Another circumstance is the supreme court The size of his majority if any also may de-termine to some extent how he" chooses to move One thing is clear He is getting through the campaign without heavy promises and would have complete freedom of determination ENTHUSIASM Certain presidential advisers were dismayed that the President chose to say so much at Detroit Some of those phrases were hot in the original drafts of the speech which he took with him on the train They say the enthusiastic crowds he met along the way imparted some of their enthusiasm to him and he wrote in a few extra paragraphs under the excitement of the campaign traveling ANIMUS Some of these current stories about changes to be expected in the cabinet if Mr Roosevelt is reelected come from a lofty authority: in fact no lower than Nattional Democratic Chairman Farley He told some of his friends off the record who would probably be dropped from the cabinet and he mentioned at least three names All it really means is that this is what Mr Farley would like to do He would have done it long so if he had been running the yinet But it really does not Ian the changes will be made REST Another of Mr Roosevelt's campaign health secrets is that he sleeps in cornfields Not actually out between the rows of course but in the air-cooled comfort of his private car drawn up for the night on railroad sidings adjacent to any handy field of corn His western schedule was arranged so that he spent about six hours (Continued on Page 5 Column 4) ARMY ORDERS WASHINGTON Oct 20 Army orders today included: Major: Clinton Rush Inf Ca-ruthersville Mo to Fort
