PRESIDENT IN
HOME STATE
Roosevelt Goes To New York
For Final Work On National
Recovery Program.
BY FRIEDRICH A. STORM

By FRIEDRICH A. STORM
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26. Com
plex administration problems were
shifted to New York today as
President Roosevelt sought the Sc
clusion of Hyde Park to work out
a program intended to put the
recovery drive over the top
Indications pointed to an un-
usually busy week free from in
terruptions as the Chief Executive
turned northward for his final 1888
stay at the summer White House.
Friends looked for him in the
week or so away from Washington
to complete plans to bolster COM
modify prices by expanding credit
and releasing billions of dollars
in bank deposits to increase pur-
chasing power for a wave of buy
ing.
The Presidents first stop was to
be New York City tonight where
he planned to bid farewell to his
son James, who, with his wife
is sailing for European vacation
After a night in his east 65th street
home he will motor to Krum Ell
bow on the banks of the Hudson
rs miles away.
Once there, observers believed he
would work first of all on the bank
ing situation. Mr.. Roosevelt feels
that frozen assets in solvent banks
should be released as soon as pos
sible, and that the communities
in which the banks are located
should be the first to come to
the rescue. If the communities fail
however, he stands ready to throw
in the resources of the Recon
struction Finance corpor t o r
through purchase of preferred
stock.
The determination to make cash
! available to the little fellow" one
of the cogs in wheel of credit
expansion which is looked upor
as the administrations reply to the
demands for outright currency in
flation.
It was insisted that there was
no chance in the Presidents policy
so far as actual initiation was con-
cerned He was interested primar.
/ lily, it was said, in seeing a steady
rise in commodity prices to serve
as a basis for a return to norma
business conditions.

CHAPLIN WINS
COURT CLASH

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 26. WH -
Charles Spencer Chaplin jr., aged
8, and his 7-year-old brother. Sid
ney Earl, will have TO skimp along
on $3.50 a month each hereafter
instead of the $500 which their ia
nous father attacked in court as
excessive.
Charles Chaplin, the comedian,
was awarded a partial victory at
least by Superior Judge Charles S.
Grail in ordering the boys mother,
Lita Grey Chaplin, to reimburse
their trust fund to the extent OF
$1,000 from her own money. The
decision was reached at hearing
of Chaplin's objections to his for
mer wife spending $33,394 on the
two boys during a 22-month period.
Mrs. Chaplin flew into a rage
Mt being brought into court on the
slightest provocation" and left the
stand on the verge of collapse.
Later, her demeanor calmed, she
personally thanked Judge Grail for
a "very fair decision" and prom
ised to do her best to scale down
the children's expenditures.

RING LARDNER
DIES IN SLEEP
Famous Writer And Humorist
Had Been In iii Health For
Several Years.

EAST HAMPTON, N. Y, Sept. 26.
U.P)-Ring Lardner, 48, humorist,
author and playwright, died in his
sleep at his home late last night.
A heart ailment from which he
suffered three years, complicated
by other diseases caused death.
Early in the afternoon, he became
unconscious and never awoke. Mrs
Lardner and two of their four sons
were at the bedside.
Lardner, first American sports
writer TO "depunk" baseball and
later a bright star in the literary
sky. lad been in poor health since
1881. In that year he went to Ari-
zona and returned to New Yori.
City much improved. A recurrence
last spring sent him west again.
He returned several weeks ago,
spcnding the major portion of his
time in bed. His physician permit
ted him to continue writing "be-
cause ne wasn't happy unless he
was working"
His work" was divided into two
distinct phases. In the early days,
Lardner devoted his talents to the
rather broad humor found in the
Bib Ballads" Symptoms of Be-
ing Thirty-five," and "Gullible S
Travels"
Not until 1924 when his collection,
How to Write Short Stories" was
published was he acclaimed one OF
the greatest contemporary short
story writer's.
Born March g. 1885, in Niles,
Mich. he wSs christened Ringgoid
Wilmer Lardner. His parents i'll
slstence that he become a mechan-
ical engineer caused his matricula-
ton at the Armour Institute of
Technology, Chicago, in the fall OF
1901. He was poor student and in
his own words, graduated the fol-
lowing February"
A brief career as railroad
freight agent and bookkeeper ended
when he "stole" a job with the
South Benc ,Ind) NeWs-T1mes
from his brother.
LarG1:er's first love was baseball,
and his newspaper career was built
around this enthusiasm. AS a
sports writer he worked on news
papers in Boston and Chicago.
From his contact with the play
ers, Lardner found inspiration for
his we'll known You Know Me Az
stories. Sports writer's who had
eulogized players for years were
first surprised, then frankly imita-
tive of his satires on the game.
Lardner once revealed that he
had cherished three ambitions-to
see every baseball game possible, to
be a magazine writer, and to have
a play produced. He realized all
three.
Lardner was a member of the
New York Athletic club, the Lambs,
and the Friars, among others. He
is survived by Mrs. Lardner, the
former Ellis Abbot, of Goshen, Ind,
and four sons, John, Ring w., jr.,
James, and David.
