Albany, N. r., July 30-(UP)- An address opening the way for the Massachusetts democracy's en- dorsement of Franklin Roosexelts presidential candidacy was expect ed tonight when the New York governor discussed his party's platform in a nationwide address.
 It was believed possible he might discuss his recent significant con- ference with Governor Joseph B. Ely of Massachusetts. when he faced microphone at 9 o'clock D. m. (EDT).

 This will be Roosevelt's second speech commenting on the plat form. He asserted he was "100 per cent" in favor of it at the conven- tion in Chicago. at which he ac- cepted the nomination after dra- matic flight. from here.
 Roosevelt was host to his cam paign manager, James A. Farley. and Secretary of State Edward I. Flynn, q member of the campaign board of strategy. at dinner In the executive mansion last night.

Local Men Doomed
 For Positions On
 The State Ticket
Controller Daniel J. Leary and Secretary of State Central Committee J. Francis Smith Mention- ed for Lieut. Goyern0r- ship-Mr Leary Ran for That Position Last Election
BRIDGE P0RT AND
 BRISTOL SEEK IT

The names of Controller Daniel J. Leary and J. Francis Smith, secretary of the democratic state central committee are being ad- vanced by local democrats for po- sitions or. the state ticket this fall. It is not expected that democratic party leaders will demand the rec- ognition of both for nomination, but will leave it to the state chief tains to select either Mir Leary or Mir Smith as likely candidates.
 Local party leaders are under stood to be considering the presen- tation of both prominent demo- crats for the office of lieutenant governor. MT Leary was the rum nina mate with Governor Wilbur l.. Cross in the last state election and while he was defeated for the lieutenant governorship, he made an exceptionally good showing.
 It is figured that out of. respect fo Mir Leary and to the city at larne which gave Governor Cross q hig majority two years ago. the staic party should give the local controller .another chance. Pro- vided Mir Learyss name is not ac- ceptable to the state chiefs then Waterbury leaders are expected to suEgest Smith. The name of MT smith was prolnineht1y mentioned .prior 10 the stat e c0nyenti9p two years ago for fiie ofiice of lieuten- ant-goyernor and for time 1t was thought that he would receive the nomination. He withdrew. how ever, in favor of MT Leary. MT Smith has been very active m democratic circles during the last two years. He was made secretary

BRUTAL ELECTION OF BONUS MEN MAY
 HURT HOOVER

Berlin, July 3O-(UP)- The brutal election" of the bonus army is likely to destroy President Hoover's chances for reelection, the newspaper .Zeitung Am Mittag said in an editorial captioned "Hoover's End?"

 Paris, July 30--U. P.) Amer lea need have no fear that Eu- ropean bloc has been formed fo drive a bargain with the United States on payment of war debts. Premier EdoGard Herriot said to- day in an exclusive interview with the United Press. ssss
 The French premier consented to clear the clouds of misunderstand- ing which have hovered over the Lausanne reparations settlement and supplemental agreements as they effect the United States.
 In doing so,. he said:
 l. The impression that France has an agreement to act jointly with Britain in dealing with war debts owed the>United States is false.
 g.. The Lausanne settlement is provisional within the framework of a world settlement of the ques- ton of international debts.
 3. So far as Herriot is concern ed, no further move will be made regarding the debt situation until after the presidential election in the United States.
 In his office at the Quai DOrsay where the walls are hung with cost ly tapestries, Herriot himself offer- ed a contrast with the gold and crystal atmosphere. He is sturdy and vigorous, a plain French citizen who puffed hard on his pipe as he spoke with gallic earnestness to the writer and Relph Heinzen. man.
