Roosevelt meets the press twice each week, even if he has nothing to say. The partisan, neutral and even Communist newsmen and women shoot questions at him for 15 minutes to halt an nour about every conceivable question of covernment. No questions are barred.

Consequently, more than routine significance may be attached to the fact that Mr. Roosevelt has called off his last two press conferences. He never did that before. On occasions he has called off one conference, but never two in succession. And not in the midst of a campaign when publicity for his viewpoint is a vital necessity to his ni.hiicitv men ordinarily advise their statesmen to avoid the press only when they wish to avoid certain questions, usually one particular nuestion.

There are many times when a refusal to answer or a negative response will arouse extensive public speculation. The only thing to do is to duck, and wait. iMCWPR Naturally, there ANjWtK has been anteroom speculation about what question Mr. Roosevelt may have wanted to avoid, or delay temporarily, last week, but not very wide speculation. The verdict was nrartirallv unanimous.

There was only one bothersome question at that time. It was me one which Republicans from Governor Landon on down have been annoying the White House since Jimmy Roosevelt offered some cloudy ob servations about NRA purposes ana Constitutional amendments to a Massachusetts political crowd. In fact, it is more than an excellent guess that certain partisan and neutral newsmen intended to press Mr. Roosevelt for clarifying explanations at either of the two press conferences called off. He deprived them of the opportunity.

By Raymond Z. Henle Pot-Gaztt Waahincton Correspondent. ABOARD LANDON TRAIN, Oct. 25. What promises to be a stirring final week of the Presidential campaign was opened confidently by Governor Alfred M- Landon tonight as he swung across Ohio.

West Virginia and Maryland toward Philadelphia for vital speeches in that city and in Pittsburgh and New York. Back in the territory which may decide the outcome of the election, the governor planned by appearances in the great populous centers of the East to consolidate his strength in a section he firmly believes he will carry decisively. Tomorrow morning, on his way to Philadelphia, Landon speaks in Baltimore. A major broadcasted speech will be delivered in the Quaker City tomorrow night. Confident As to Outcome.

Tuesday night, the governor speaks in Pittsburgh, in Newark, N. Wednesday afternoon And in Madison Square Garden, New York, Thursday night. Two Sundays ago it was reported in this column that Governor Landon believed he would win, and win handsomely. Tonight, as his Sunflower Special traveled through the Appalachians, he is just as confident over the outcome. He does not seem to have changed his idea as to how the various states will go.

He believes he will carry everything from Maine to Nebraska, north of the Mason-Dixon line and several Rocky Mountain states. Last night's thunderous ovation from his audience in Indianapolis Coliseum following, as it did, a wildly enthusiastic parade demonstration earlier in the day, has contributed to the greatest confidence in the Landon campaign strategy-group that Indiana is safe. Expects to Take Ohio. From neighboring Ohio came reports of a tense situation, but Landon is not worried about Ohio. He firmly believes he will carry the Buckeye state because erf an overwhelming vote in his favor in the small towns and rural sections.

Two other campaign developments bolster the governor's belief of a teady, victory swing toward his standard. First, he believes the working men and women in the past 10 days have been deserting President Roosevelt rapidly because, they are waking up to the fact that beginning January 1 the Deal will take one per cent out of their pay envelopes for social security purposes and that this deduction Will increase until it reaches 3 per cent. Second, Landon staunchly believes his iterated and reiterated demand upon President Roosevelt to say "and say before election" in unequivocahle terms whether he intends to preserve the American form of Government has placed the President in a very precarious position. Since the governor first demanded that the President stop talking generalities and state frankly whether he would, if rejected, preserve or throw over Staring mutely at the face of the man he. is hcciimmI of killing while driving under the influence of liquor, Joseph Cetinski, 'i'l, a coal miner, of Itcadling, is shown attove as he apMaril yesterday morning in the morgue, t'ounty Detective Roltert Robinson has just Death Car Driver Taken To Morgue to View Victim Judge Musmanno, Continuing Campaign for Highway Safety, Confers With District Attorney In Case of Coal Miner Who Was Adjudged Drunk.

COUGHLIN SAYS NEW DEALERS MENACEPEACE Fears Roosevelt As Dictator If War Is Declared. URGES ANNUAL WAGE Priest, Backing Lemke, Hits at Both Major Parties. FLINT, Oct. war, the Reverend Charles E. Coughlin tonight said conflict would "make Roosevelt dictator and that's what the Tugwells and the rest of them have been working toward." In an address here he asserted the New Deal was endeavoring to "drag the country into the League of Nations through the back door," predicting involvements because of which America would be unable to escape conflict.

Coughlin said that wages had not increased proportionately with the cost of living and asked, "are you satisfied with that New Deal?" His question aroused a chorus of shouted "noes" from an audience of workers in this industrial city, gathered in a rally supporting the presidential candidacy of William Lemke, Union party nominee. "Large Fronts' Are Stressed. Coughlin said that not since 1929 have the larger corporations, naming General Motors and du Pont, made so much profit as this year. He added "and I ask you laborers how much you have been able to save." The priest said that the nation was "in the midst of the most acute campaign" since the days of Abraham Lincoln. Aside from the Union party candidacy of Lemke, he said, the worker today is forced to support one of two political parties, neither one of which has the fortitude to espouse a living annual wage.

He called for "a wage not predi cated on how long you work but predicated upon the amount of wealth you produce." Hits at Heavy Taxes. "There is not a man working in any mass production industry whose annual wage should not be $1,800," he added. "Have you heard either one of the political parties call for a living wage?" "No," he said. "You have heard them bragging that they have been taking it from the rich by taxes. I paid mora in taxes last year, directly or indirectly, than J.

P. Morgan paid." Father Coughlin delivered a second speech tonight at Huron, Mich. TUGWELL HIDING PLACE MYSTERY Whereabouts Subject Of Discussion in Capital. Special to the PittBbureh Post-GazetU and the Chicago Tribune. WASHINGTON, Oct.

25. The mysterious disappearance of Professor Tugwell, Brain Truster No. 1 of the New Deal, was a topic widely discussed in Washington today. Dr. Tugwell had not been seen or heard from for so long a period that he has been all but forgotten.

The Professor remained in the West for a time after President Roosevelt's drouth inspection tour late in August but returned to Washington for a few days about a month ago. Since then nothing has been heard from him. The Republican national committee today took up the search for Dr. Tugwell's campaign hiding place. The committee suggested that he was the victim of an "involuntary incarceration in the New Deal dog-house, equipped with a muzzle and leash." President Roosevelt has been insisting during this campaign that he is not a Communist and does not want the support of Communists.

The Republicans have been insisting that Mr. Roosevelt repudiate Tugwell as an evidence of his sincerity in saying he wants no part of Communism.

Included in the list was a peti-tion by Illinois Communists for quick action on their application to compel state officials to place the names of the party candidates for President and vice president on the ballot for the November 3 election.

A change of the court's plans would be necessary to hear arguments on the petition before November 9, six days after the election. Even if it would take that extraordinary action, a few weeks usually are required to prepare an opinion after arguments are heard. Litigation challenging the Wag ner act, designed to guarantee collective bargaining to labor and establish a national labor relations board to settle industrial disputes, was filed by the Associated Press and by the Washington, Virginia and Maryland Coach Company. The Government urged the high court to grant a review. Appeals in Employe Cases.

The Associated Press appealed from a ruling by the circuit court of appeals at New York sustaining an order of the labor board directing the reinstatement of Morris Watson, a discharged employe of the New York office. In the coach company case, the fourth circuit court of appeals upheld the act and ordered the reinstatement of 18 employes who had been discharged. Other disputes involving the act are before the court, but no announcement on them is expected before November 9. They affect the Jones Laughlin Steel Corporation of Pittsburgh, the Friedman-Harry Marks Clothing Company, of New York and the Frue-hauf Trailer Company of Canton, O. If a ruling on the statute is promised, arguments will be heard in a few weeks, followed by a final decision.

If a review is denied, the decision of the lower courts will stand. News 78 ARE INJURED IN FASCISTS RIOTS Leader, 800 Follower Arrested By Belgian Police. By Harold Ettlingcr United Press Staff Writer. BRUSSELS, Oct. 25.

BOSTON, Oct. 25.

LT) James Roosevelt, son of the President, said tonight the state of Kansas, of which Alfred M. Landon, Republican candidate for President, is governor, "has allowed a system to exist which appears to deny the opportunity for real education to many children." Roosevelt, previous to a radio appearance in which he made his charge, said he would "absolutely prove" previous utterances regarding the Kansas school system. Landon, on Friday, said a member of the President's "immediate family" had made "utterly untrue" and "malicious" charges against his state's school system. James Roosevelt quoted as authority for his assertions VV. T.

Markham, state superintendent for public instruction for the state of Kansas. He said Markham. in a letter to United States Senator George Mc-Gill, Democrat, of Kansas, last February 27. declared: "There were 444 school districts in Kansas that made provisions for sending their pupils to other districts and did not open school at ail. "Legislation in Kansas," he quoted Markham further as telling McGill "has not been favorable to a school program for a number of years.

However, it seems almost impossible to interest those in authority in the needs of educational opportunity for boys and girls."

Aroused Over Foe Silence. Members of the governor's campaign advisory group believe Landon has developed a significant, zero-hour issue.

They think the President's failure to state his view on this question already has brought on a wave of fear and uncertainty among the electorate. The governor himself is genuinely aroused over the New Deal's complete indifference to the people's right to a frank statement. Landon believes the one big issue of this campaign is whether the tra- Uinnnl A AiurncHn system or individual liberty is going to be perpetuated under the Constitution. So he can be expected to continue his effort to smoke out the New Deal on this proposition.

And when a movie company took a group of Indian extras on location, these original Americans, being stripped for action, got terrible cases of sunburn. They'd worn clothes so long their tender skins couldn't stand the heat. There's a lesson here, although, so far as the victim is concerned, it's probably too late to do anything about it. Once we'd backed the noble red man nto a pair of $3 pants, we had him tamed. Sitting Bull, in war bonnet and buckskins, was a splendid savage, hut, wearing; overalls and a hickory shirt, he batame just a brunette farmhand.

The derby hat may le the homeliest creation ever devised for human use, but it's the crowning triumph of civilization, and the most pacifying for alien folks, as witness Haile Selassie, looking now rather like a Filipino bell-hop on his Sunday off, and Chief Geronimo in his late photographs. Old Geronimo wasn't ferocious then; he was just plain tacky. If the Indian wants to regain his once carefree status, he'll have to start undressing. NEW YORK. Oct.

25. The Republican National Committee reports that unless contributions increase a deficit of two millions is possible. The New Deal party is more fortunate in this respect. Checks totalling $470,000,000 are on the way to the farmers, and the President has" approved new TWA grants of 8 million. This money is being judiciously distributed in those states that are considered doubtful by the New Deal board of strategy.

Of course, these checks are not sent out over the signature of the Democratic National Committee. They come from that inexhaustible source of the more abundant life, the United States Treasury. But is it inexhaustible? Some say no, some say yes. But at least the supply will hold out until the close of the present campaign. ALICE LONGWORTH.
