Visit Arouses Speculation Over

BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG,
STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.

HYDE PARK, N. Y, September 25.
After nearly five weeks absence
from Washington while he conducted
the affairs of the Nation from his
family home here, President Roose-
welt is today clearing the old, worn,
flat-topped desk in his cubby hole
office preparatory to leaving tonight
for the Capital.
Mr.. Roosevelt is keeping his own
counsel as to what may be expected
from HIM in the way of important an
nouncementS when he gets back to
his desk at the White House. He
already has stated that within the
next week or so he will go on the
radio and give the country another
accounting of his stewardship. In
this he no doubt will answer many
questions regarding the state of the
Nation and the Government as we'll as
outline the New Deal plans for the
immediate future

Just when he is going to make
known the plan for the reorganizatio ton
OF the N. r. A, to which task he has
given more time at Hyde Park than
anything else, could not be learned
today. Those close to the President
believe he will have something to say
on this subject soon.
Interest in the N. R. A. reorganiza-
ton is centered mostly about how

nothing said or hinted at the White

there is anything to such speculation.

Unquestionably the President has a
fairly good and accurate picture of

questioning he has Travelled through

For she has proven, over and over

with any one male personality In or

leading men than any other actress

most as blond as herself.
Show People with William
Haines, brought her an entirely diff
ferent sort of leading man; the young
wiSe-cracking, smart-aleck type.

with the foreign Nils Asther, which
