BARE UNHAPP|NESS
Mrs. Vanderbilt Contends
Wording Indicates They
Were Dictated.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 3.-The
record Of evidence in Mrs. Gloria Nor
gan Vanderbilt's court battle for her
daughter Gloria held letters today
written by the child at the age of
and expressing unhappiness over her
life while travelling with her mother
in Europe.
The letters were described by Justice
John F. Carew, who has been hearing
the evidence behind closed doors, as
the outpourings of an unhappy child
complaining to her grandmother. The
letters were addressed to Mrs. Laura
Fitzpatrick Morgan, mother Of Mrs.
Vanderbilt, who has already testified
her daughter was not fit to bring up
Gloria. Mrs. Vanderbilt seeks to re-
gain custody of her daughter from
Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, the
child's aunt.
Under croSS-examination yesterday,
Mrs. Vanderbilt said she did not be-
lieve her daughter could have written
the letters unless put to it by some
one else and said some of the phras-
ing was too mature to be used by
a child.
Earlier in the trial, when some OF
Gloria's letters expressing affection
for her mother we're introduced, Mrs.
Emma KeiSlich, the childs nurse, tes-
titled under questioning by counsel
for Mrs. Whitney, that no Importance
was to be attached to these express
sions of affections because she had
dictated them to the child as the
sentiments her mother would expect
her to express.
The trial will be resumed on
Monday.

Wills, 54-year- -old widow of 611 Ninth

Of % years.
The first part Of Boyle's tale will
probably be passed over, for he was
only years old when he was taken
away from his mother in Pittsburgh
by his father.
For the next 13 years, from 1903 to
1921. Boyle lived with his grandmother
in Bridgeport, Pa. and when she be-
came i'll he stayed with other rela-
tiveS.
Only once in his early life does
Boyle recall having seen his father.
and that was when the parent had
lost both legs in train wreck.

Mrs. Wills was thrown into despair
this year when she received word from
her sister-in-law in Conshohocken,
Pa, that it was feared her son had
also been struck by train.
In 1925 Boyle enlisted in the Army
and served three years in Honolulu.
He worked at odd jobs in Pittsburgh
for while and then went to Cali
fornia where he was employed in the
orange groves.
He was in California when informed
by police that his mother was living
in Washington. He lost no time in
catching a bus for the Capital.
Two years ago Boyle was in Wash
ington with the bonus marchers and
oddly enough stopped only a few
blocks from his mothers home.
They won't be separated again,
agree Mrs. Wills and her son.

Samuel Gompers Must
Yield Desk Because
It's Not Pine.
BY GENEvIEvE FORBES HERKICK

- AMUEL GOMPERS, chief clerk
Of the Labor Department and
namesake son of the late labor
- leader, is feeling pretty sad
these days. He's got to part
with his desk.
It's a good desk; but it's made of
mahogany. And the Government,
gone suddenly esthetic, has ruled that
you mustn't mix old and new furni-
ture in the executive Offices of the
new Department of Labor Building,
ready for occupancy some time this
Winter. Mr.. Gompers rates an exc
cutive office Hence he can't have his
mahogany desk, when all the rest of
the furniture is to be American pine.
Mahogany is imported. therefore not

emily if some one else had been nomi-
mated by the Democrats.
The Presidents whole hearted in
dorsement Of Gov. Lehman was his
first actual departure from his set
rule to take no personal part in State
elections 1t is true that he has made
certain gestures and given appro-
pirate hints in behalf of one or two
candidates, among them being Sena-
tor LaFollette of Wisconsin, but this
was the first open act on the part
OF the President in the campaign.
He explained this by saying he was
merely speaking as a voter of New
York and that his action had to do
solely with his own home State.
Note on Endorsement.
The Presidents Endorsement of
Lehman had been written by him in
pencil just before his press confer
ence and he read it to the newspaper
men. He not only read from the paper
in his hand, but also dictated para
graph indentations and some of the
punctuation. His Endorsement in full
follows:
On returning to my home to cast
my ballot as citizen of the State
OF New York, I have no hesitancy in
making it known that expect to vote
for Gov. Lehman and that l hope he
will be reelected
In the first place, New York is my
home State.
In the second place. Herbert Leh-
man served as my Lieutenant Gov
ernor for four years and in that
capacity earned my admiration as
public official and my warm regard
as a man.
In the third place. as Governor he
has made good. He has shown courage,
energy, fine administrative and execu-
tive qualities and. above all. deep in
tereSt and understanding of the well
fare and needs of the State of New
York
That Mr.. Roosevelt would do or say
something in behalf of Lehman was
exclusively predicted in The Star
earlier yesterday The impression,
however, was that he would wait until
he was at Hyde Park before acting.
The President said yesterday at his
conference after reading his Lehman
Endorsement that he doubted now if he
would see the New York Governor

LOW RATES SEEN
HOUSING DRIVE AID
President Explains Fixing of
5 Per Cent as "Basic
Maximum"
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The evils of very high interest rates

Roosevelt neXplaining why he fixed
5 per cent as the basic maximum" for
insured loans to build new homes in
the Governments housing drive.
Suggestions had been made t. him,
It was said. that somewhat higher
rates might speed the granting of
loans in sections where higher
charges are customary.
Held High Enough.
But the President told reporters it
was more important 10 stress the prin-
cile of low rates than that the pro-
gram be hurried. He said per cent
was high enough where loans are
insured. Plenty of lenders would
come forward. he felt.
The per cent. to which l per cent
will be added for insurance premium
and service charge, will obtain on in
sured mortgages for new homes. For
refunding existing mortgages, the
basic maximum will be 512 per cent.
The whole program being admins
tered by the Housing Administration
was described by the Chief Executive
as education, and he placed the low
interest rate in that category also
In the meantime. the Housing Ad-
ministration was assembling an army
of experts to put into operation the
program which in a l0-year period
had been estimated capable of putting
S15.00o,0OO 900 into new home con-
Struction.
FavOrably Received.
While James A. Moffett, the housing
administrator, had expressed fear that
the low interest rate would slow the
process of financing, reaction from
New York financial centers indicated
the program was favorably received
Representatives of banking. building
and statistical interests agreed that
the low interest rates would spur su-
burban construction and that the Gre
ation of an exchange for mortgages
held by country and suburban banks
would form a ready market for such
securities.
