Presidents Case Demonstrates Courage
Needed to Overcome Misfortune;
Sufferer Himself Since 1921

weather. The President, knowing
the coast, took the wheel and re-
NAMED on watch many hours in
the cold, misty night.
Next day he felt a chill in his
legs while stamping out a brush
fire. But a mile run along the
beach of Campobello and brisk
swim fixed" that. He sat in his
bathing suit, still wet, looking
over his mail. The chill returned.
A few days later he could
scarcely move and, after consul
tation, his doctor broke the news
to him that he had infantile
paralysis, or poliomyelitis, as the
disease is called.
Attack Nearly Fatal
The attack was serious one.
He was taken by ambulance to
his home in New York where for
several months little hope was
held out to his family for his re-
covery. His superb physique low
ever, came to his rescue and he
lived, paralyzed from the waist
down. The blow was a otter one
for a man who had been a crack
swimmer, a tennis player and a
general outdoor enthusiast.
He spent the winter of 1921 and
following spring learning to walk
on crutches. A friend told him Of
young man whose infantile
paralysis was cured in the waters
Of Warm Springs, Ca, then
rundown resort.
Roosevelt went to Warm Springs
in 1924. In six weeks he had
L,&de more progress than in the
three years since he had been
stricken.
Waters Tested
The family became so enthusi-
astic that they sent samples of
the waters to certain famous ply
sicianS to be analysed. The an
swer was definitely that the wa
ters had curative properties.
Later, Roosevelt purchased tracts
of land near the springs and the
Warm Springs Foundation was es-
tablished.
Of Roosevelt's courage during
his struggle to overcome his han
dicap a fellow patient at the
springs in 1924. Richard E. Phil
pot, of the Home Loan Corpora
ton, says:
eff I ever get anywhere in
life it will be due to the inspi-
ration given me by President
Roosevelt at that time and the
courage he instiIIed in me to
pay as little attention as posi-
BILE to our mutual afflictiOn.
"He told me it was absurd
of me to think 1 would be a
hopeless cripple the rest of my
life. He changed my whole out
look, and never missed an OPP
pOrtunity to impress on me,
then a kid of 10, that buOyancy
and a cheerful outlook on life
would do more than anything
else to restore me-"

SOVIET STRATO
FL|ERS CLIMB
12.48 MILES
New Unofficial Record Set;
Crew Reports Many I'm
Dortant Discoveries

MOSCOW, Jan. 30 0.N.S0 I'm
a surprise flight, three Soviet bal
loonists today established a new
unofficial worlds altitude record
by ascending almost 1917 miles
into the stratosphere.
Carrying on an uninterrupted
series of meteorological and
cosmic ray observations, the bal
loonists rose to an altitude of
10000 metres 12.48 miles,, and
because Of lack of visibility and
bitterly cold radioed their inten-
tion to land near JegorjevSk or
Bromley, so miles southeast OF
Moscow.
Huge Balloon Used
The ballooniSts were M. Fedo-
seemko, noted Soviet aeronaut;
his assistant, M. OuSyskin; and
M. Vasenko, constructor of the
gaS-bag.
The flight was made in the
"Osoviakhim No. l." a huge bag
with a capacity of more than
100000 cubic feet, constructed by
the Soviet Civil Aviation Organ
ization in an attempt to better
the mark of 11.8 miles set a few
months ago by Soviet army bal
looniStS.
Although the officially recog-
nized world altitude record is
lis miles, established by Lieut..
Comdr. T. G. w. Settle, of the
United States Navy, in flight
from Akron last November, Soviet
authorities regard today's mark
as a new worlds record.
As Degrees Below Zero
The flight was made under
great difficulties. Radio reports
from the metal gondola in which
the three aeronautS were sealed
told of a temperature of As de-
grees below zero and dense cloud
banks which for hours blinded the
balloonistS to their course or con-
ditions around them.
At one time, radio communica-
ton was cut off while the crew
used a purifier to eliminate the
carbon dioxide which formed in
the gondola.
The balloonists took off at
$40 a. m At 6:55 a. m. they
reported an altitude of $4,000
feet, with a temperature of As
below outside and zero inside.
A fleet of airplanes immedi-
ately took off from the Frounze
Airport in an attempt to locate
the bag and lead it to a safe
landing.

More "FIying Hamburgers" are
in prospect in Germany.
This famous train, which makes
about 10 miles an hour on the
run from Hamburg to Berlin, will
have counterpartS throughout the
Reich, the Commerce Department
hears. The purpose is to stimu-
late declining passenger traffic,
and for the same purpose fares
will be reduced.
Five new "HamburgerS' have
been ordered by the Federal Rail-
ways and three are expected to go
into operation at once. The five
trains are of various types, to per-
NIT experimentation, presumably
It Is expected that the time
from Berlin to Rome will be cut
from 20 to "a hours.

By International News Service


Recommendations for liberaliZa
ton of existing regulations to per
nit indirect Government financing
of new home construction and
modernization of old houses were
at the White House today for
President Roosevelt's approval and
submission to Congress.
Although the Governments new
drive to further aid the home
owner and provide work for the
vast construction industry will in
volve hundreds of millions of dol
lars, Congress will not be asked
to make any additional appropria
tions.
John H. Fahey, chairman of the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board
said the money could be secured
through the Treasury and the
RFC.
The board submitted these pro
posals:

cling institutions by increasing
volume of funds available
through membership in Federal
Home Loan Bank system.
2. Development of Federal
Savings and Loan Associations
as private thrift institutions in
communities where home-fi-
nancing resources are lacking
or insufficient.
3. Allow Home Owners Loan
Corp, which deals only with
home owners in difficulty with
present mortgages, to finance
desirable improvements on
homes on which it grants emer-
gency loans.

(The editor regrets very much that
an established usage makes it an i'm
possibility to run the above letter on

SALISBURY FAIR GROUNDS
TO BE PUT UP FOR SALE

Consent of the stockholders of Wi
comco Fair Association, Inc, to dis
continuance Of the annual exposition
and sale of the fair grounds is to be
sought, il became known today.
Senator David J. Ward, president
and manager of the corporation, said
the fair will not be held this year
and the property will be offered for
sale "before frost"
Clarence w. Wheaton,, secretary OF
the corporation, is to submit the pro-
position to the stockholders for their
consent.
The fair has been unable to operate
at profit in recent years, and the
buildings are rapidly deteriorating,
Senator Ward said. He expressed the
belief that it would be better to dis
pose of the obligation rather than
continue an attempt to operate the
fair.
Last summer marked the twenty
fifth successive year the Great Sails
bury Fair, as it was known, had been
operated. Attendance had dropped off
so sharpley that the management at
that time decided to charge no admis-
sion and depend upon concessions and
other sources for sufficient revenue to
defray operation costs. This plan
likewise failed to stimulate interest
in the exposition.
Organized in 1909 whe nthe first
fair was presented, there were many
years when the exposition was highly
successful. About ten years ago it
reached it's height of popularity. In a
single day more than 10000 people
paid admission to pass through the
gates and a season of four days has
brought as many as $4,000 paid adj
missions.
1t has always been a combination
program of amusement and exhibition
of agricultural products, fruits, poul-
try and live stock. Exhibits for sew
eral years have shown a marked lack
of interest.
The half mile track has provided
some of the fastest sulky racing in
the country. Horses that made rec
ords in harness racing realms, have
staged many thrilling contests on the
clay track.
In it's heyday the attendance was
so large that special trains and spec
ial fares, were offered by the rail-
roads.
The property consists of about 26
acres of land, exhibition buildings,
grand-stands and scores of stables.
1t lies just outside of the corporate
limits of the city.

The Editor of the Worcester Democrat
Pocomoke, Md.
Dear Mr.. Editor,

In your issue of June goth, column
two, page one, you have political
item in which you used my name. ]
am wondering if you were the writer
of this article, or whether you have
been put on the "spot."
/ resent your insinuations and am
wondering what prompted this piece;
for it is a well known fact, that fol-
lowing the invasion of the troops on
this Shore, few months ago, that
your paper joined the great Anti
Richie sentiment which swept over
the entire Eastern Shore. And, so
far as I can learn, none have desert
ed this sentiment with the exception
of the Editor of the Worcester Demo-
crat. Was it, Mr.. Editor, at the be-
hest of some master mind, or for mo-
tives you no doubt would not care to
express, or was it done in the abun-
dance of your political ignorance.
do not wish to deny you your
rights to say to the public that no
man in your day and generation shall
be Governor of the great State of
Maryland save Albert c. Richie, but
it does not become you to attempt to
sIur your fellow citizens because they

whether sentiments are Anti-Ritchie
