ROOSEVELT is LAUDED

inspired leadership Cited
by Senate Candidate.

By Times Special
HAMMOND, Nov. 17.-Speaking
before a joint meeting of Jackson
clubs here, R. Earl Peters who re-
signed this week as Democratic
state chairman when he announced
his candidacy for the United States
senate, praised President Roosevelt
for his inspired leadership.
Actual accomplishments of the ma
tional administration completely
answer the unfounded complaints
of a discredited party which fran
tically is seeking to climb back into
power" he said.
Mr.. Peters said that the day Mr..
Roosevelt took Office, Wall Street
was notified that partisanship be-
tween government and finance had
been broken, throttle hold of the
power trust was broken, a sound
banking system was inaugurated
and steps begun to provide jobs Tor
hundreds of thousands of men.

flecting results of the recovery drive
in increased employment and pay

During October, when increases in
employment no longer could be eX-
planned by requirements of new
NRA codes or the blue eagle drive,
definite improvement is reported by
the bureau of labor statistics in

Miss Perkins Optimistic
Labor Secretary Frances Perkins
believes these increases are of ut
most Importance as an indicator.
They reflect the efforts of AAA.
NRA and the public works admins
tration, she says.
Increased agricultural implement
business, for instance, can mean
only increased buying power among
farmers due to the agricultural third
OF the recovery program, she points
out. Some of the other increases
can be explained through revived
business and increased purchasing
by other industries, some through
expenditure of public works money.
Increases in employment and pay
roll figures for October over the
same month in 1882 are even more
impressive than increases over Sep

mates, and purchasing power in
