The whole stirring history of
the United States navy is told in
scores Of other pictures which
literally cover the walls. The
Roosevelt sons never have tired of
slastic tales Of the battle scenes
sastic tales of the battle scenes
and ships and leaders who are
shown there.
Especially do they like the story
OF Captain James Mugford, whose
portrait bears out Roosevelt'S con-
tention that he was the uglist
man in all American history.
Yet it was Mugford of the
schooner Franklin, who in 1776
played a valiant part in capturing
the British armed transport Hope
and its cargo of ammunition so
direly needed by the Colonies.
Nearly all these pictures have
been collected by Roosevelt him

At Eastport, Me, he was lifted
through a Pullman car window

hospital in New York.
Mrs. Roosevelt picked up the

house. Anna now was tall, 1.-THE
sub-deb of 16 in her second year
at Miss Chapin's school in New
York. And James, IS, was in the
second term at Groton.
Elliott, 10, and still too young
for Groton, was spending his last
year in Buckley school, in New
York. Franklin Jr., 9, and John,

Every day, going to and from
classes, the latter three passed the
Presbyterian hospital and received
a CHEEKY wave from the corner
room where their father was I'M

Franklin Roosevelt. The chances
were 100 to ] that he never would

fighting for that one chance.

Both homes are brownstone

others of their era. Franklin
RooSevelt's is only a generous
room in width, but is long from
front to back, and six stories high.
The kitchen is in the basement;

1T was at Campobello island,
= midsummer vacation home of
the Roosevelts, that near-tragedy
struck in 1921. Illnesses and
troubles they had had before. But
Franklin RooSevelt's attack of
acute infantile paralysis was a
stunning blow that first menaced
his life and then threatened to
bend his powerful, active frame
to helpless invalidism.
The previous summer and au-
tumn Roosevelt had campaigned
furiously for the vice-presidency,
and with James M. Cox had
gone down to defeat in the Hard
ing landslide.
Returning then to his New York
law firm of Roosevelt & O'Connor,
he had worked without rest until
July, when he closed his desk and
rushed to the New Brunswick re-
treat.
His wife and all five children
were there to welcome him, and
the father began his vacation
activities with a rush.
The boats we're put into COM

island, and swimming parties at
Herring cove, where the water
was slightly warmer than in the
Bay of Fundy.

Il events. One day he capSized
in sailing canoe and was chilled
thoroughly. Soon afterward he fell

Next day he went to Herring
cove with James, Elliott, Franklin,
Jr. and John. After swimming
there they went for a dip in the
icy surf, then staged cross
country race back to the house.
Roosevelt wore heavy shoes, and
was exhausted when the. group
painted up to the Campobello cot
tage.
He complained Of pains in his
back. Within forty eight hours
his body was torturously twisted
by the dread disease.
Those were terrible weeks that
followed. There were doctors and
nurses about the house, grave
consultations, and five frightened
children sitting numbly in their
play room, or wandering listlessly
along a shore that suddenly had
become bleak and unfriendly.
Finally it was decided that
Roosevelt could be removed to a

Thus unemployment in varying
forms - temporary unemployment,
with the loss of earnings and search
for another job; long unemploy-
ment, dragging out over months and
years, in the periods of depression;
unemployment over a number of
years till the death Of the weakest
and the old, thrown overheard from
labor by capital-constitutes a char
acteristic distinguishing trait of
capitalism, which not only is not
decreasing, but growing continuous
ly, the more capitalism develops and
approaches the period of disintegra-
ton and fall.
TCAN see no hope for the pro-
i longed existence of the present
social order save through the fol-
lowing measures:
l. Taxation of capital and in
dustry to provide work for the I'M
employed at trade union rates, OF
maintenance Of the unemployed at
average wage rates for the full
period Of unemployment.
2. To establish a six-hour day and
shorter hours in mining and other
dangerous occupations.
3. To halt the naturalization OF
| industry.
But to inaugurate these measures
would mean to halt the progress OF
civilization. America has but two
choices: Either of going forward to
Socialism along the road of the
i Soviet Union, or back to Barbarism
with capitalism.

In the Jackson CMiss) area, $50
square miles of lowlands were in

Many lost all their household
possessions in the sudden onrush Of
water.
Surveys of the district showed
water spread in desolation over
miles of rich farmlands. In many
places only the roofs of houses
could be seen. Most of the popula-
ton took refuge on high land.
Floods we're feared in other dis
tricts due to the abnormal snow

Roosevelt Stands AIoOf

Except for casual talks with
Democratic leaders, Roosevelt has
kept his pledge not to try to in
fiuence legislation before he enters
the White House. Even though
this course may necessitate an extra
session, which he dislikes, and leave
such problems as new taxes, repeal
and farm relief on his doorstep, he
prefers to stand aside.
Congressional leaders of both
parties decline to act on Hoover's
proposal for a new debt commission,
balancing the budget, a sales tax,
government reorganization, railroad
legislation, federal bus regulation,
the st. Lawrence treaty and other
matters.
The senate Democrats and pro-
gressiveS are blocking confirmation
of his appointments, even to the ex-
tent of refusing to send them to
committee for study This inaction
also piles more work on the incom-
ing President.
The, senate passed a Philippine
freedom bill, although warned by
administration spokesman that it
will be vetoed in its present form.
The house this week will pass a beer
bill understood to violate the Presi-
dents prohibition views. Exhaustive
hearings are whipping into shape a
farm relief measure conflicting with
many of Hoover's basic theories.
Political Strategy Rules
Political strategy figures in the
moves of both administration and
Democratic leaders. The Repub-
licans obviously seek to force Roose-
welt to call a special session right
after Inauguration, in the hope that
it may weaken him, as did the tariff
session Hoover summoned in the
spring of 1929.
The Democrats would like to avoid
such necessity, but if one must be
called, they hope to have beer,
budget balancing and farm meas
ures ready for quick action.
1t is tug-of-war on both sides,
285-pound Hoover and Roosevelt as
anchor men.
