PRESIDENT WAS GRATEFUL AS HE
 TOLD IN SPEECH
Spoke Over Radio as a Feature of His 52nd Anniversary.

Washington, January 31-Pres- ident Roosevelt made an appeal over the radio last night for the crippled children of the nation. It was his 52nd birthday anni- versary and as he expressed it "the happiest day of his life". He was overjoyed at the prospects of millions of dollars being added to the fund for his foundation. He spoke in clear ringing tones to millions of people, who were more than anxious to hear the speech which, taken from the radio, was as follows:

 nt hA same situation existed in relation to tuberculosis. Today. because of constant stressing of the subject, the nation understands the tuber- culosis problem and has taken splendid steps not only to effectu- ate cures but also to prevent the spread of the disease.
 The problem of the crippled child is very similar. Modern medical science has advanced so far that very large proportion of children who for one reason or another have become crippled can be restored to useful citizenship. It remains, therefore, only to spread the gospel for the care and cure of crippled children in every part of this kindly land to enable us to make the same relative progress that we have already made in the field of tuberculosis.
 AS all of you know, the work at Warm Springs has been close to my heart, because of the many hundreds of cases of infantile paralysis which have been treated there. It is a fact that infantile paralysis results in the crippling of children and of grownups more than any other cause.
 Warm Springs is only one of the many places where kindness and patience and skill are given to handicapped people. There are hundreds of other places. hospi- tals and clinics. where the sur
