HYDE PARK, N. Y, Sept. 5
G.N.SO.-PreSident Roosevelt to-
day reviewed the words Of a man
who spent two hours in mutually
enjoyable talk with him yeSter-
day-Upton Sinclair, who won
California's Democratic nomina-
tion for Governor.
The President discussed eco
nomics and skirted the boundaries
of tabooed politics with man
who has been called radical far
beyond the liberalism Of the New
Deal" He found that Mr.. Sin.
clair counted his EPIC" plan Of
State government an integral part
of Mr.. Roosevelt's national re-
covery program.
Districts Example Cited
Mr.. Sinclair boldly asserted that
his EPIC" program in some in
stances was identical" with the
operations Of the New Deal. He
cited the District Of Columbia as
one of these spots, and pointed
out further that, as he recon-
mended, the Federal Government
is canning in California, making
mattresses in Ohio, and stockings
in Massachusetts,.
The Californian left behind him
the distinct impression that ne
felt President Roosevelt was be-
hind him in his race for the guber-
material mantle, though he would
not say this in so many words
far from it. When asked the
point-blank question whether ne
felt that his chances Of winning
the election this fall were better
after today's talk, he replied:

dent) is. You know that he Is

Executive Deeply Concerned
Over Reports That Lehman
May Be Defeated
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
copyright, 1894, by International
News Service)

News service)
President Roosevelt may be
averse to discussing State politics
with such New Dealers as Upton
Sinclair, the Socialist convert to
Democracy, but there is one spot
where he is avidly and eagerly in
terested in a gubernatorial elec-
ton this year.
This is his own State OF New
York.
Somewhat vaguely disquieting
reports have reached Mr.. Roose-
velt's ears that the shedding for
Gov. Herbert H. Lehman in New
York this fall is to be none too
smooth. In fact, the more alarm
ing of these reports have been to
the effect that Governor Lehman
may be defeated for reelection.
ROOseveIt's Choice
Governor Lehman is Mr.. Roose-
velt's candidate. He was hand
picked by Mr.. Roosevelt in 1882,
in much the same way that Mr..
Roosevelt himself was. hand-picked
by AL Smith in 1928. Mr.. Roose-
Welt himself was reluctant to run
in '28.
He was persuaded and was
elected, thereby setting his feet
ON the path that led to the White
House. Governor Lehman was
reluctant to run in 80. He was
persuaded and was elected by
847, 900 votes, which was almost
$50, 900 more than the Roosevelt
vote.
Governor Lehman is said to
have been reluctant to stand for
reelection, but yielded to Mr..
Roosevelt's persuasion. Accord
ingly, Mr.. Roosevelt is bound by
a moral obligation, as well as the
considerations of practical poll
tics, to assist the New York gov
ernor in every way possible And
that will be done, irrespective OF
the recently announced White
House policy of noninterference
in State campaigns.
There may not be, and prob
ably won't be, any blaring OF
horns about the national Admin
istration support to the Demo
cratic State campaign in New
York, but it will be there never
theless.
For the President to lose his
own State in the off-year election
would be a severe blow to his pres
tige, as well as to the New Deal
in general.
Few political happenings would
be calculated to give the Republi-
cans more deep-Seated comfort as
they contemplate 1886. Mr.. Roose-
velt and those about him are de-
termined to prevent it at all costs.
Problems Arise
There are a number of disquiet'
ing aspects of the Democratic
situation in New York State, from
the Administrations point of view.
One is the reported loss Of popu-
larity by Governor Lehman in
both upstate counties and in the
greater city. Another is the pros
pect that his Republican opponent
will be ex-senator, now Congress
man, James w. WadSworth, able,
popular, and likely Presidential
timber in 1896.
Defeated for reelection to the
Senate in 1925 because he ad-
vocated repeal of prohibition Git
was not politically popular in
'26), Mr.. Wadsworth started the
comeback trail two years ago by
winning election to the House,
despite the Roosevelt landslide.
In the Seventy-third Congress he
was one of the "best minds" on
the Republican side, although
generally working behind the
scenes.

5,206 Million Dollar Total
Cited in Report on
Progress of Relief
BY ALFRED T. NEWBERRY
International News Service

Authorizations and ALLEGATIONS +
Of sums totaIling 5,2O6 million dol
lars have been made by the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation
alone in the Federal effort to
resuscitate a Sorrowfully depressed
nation since March, 1888, when
President Roosevelt shuffled the
New Deal for distribution, and
actually has okayed a grand total
Of 1914 million dollars since it's
organization.
Reports to President
Donald r. Richberg mentioned
this great expenditure in his
fourth condensed review of the
reports Of progress made by the
various Federal departments and
agencies engaged in the national
program Of emergency relief and
economic recovery submitted to
Mr.. Roosevelt at his Hyde Park
IN. " estate today.
Mr.. Richberg noted these per.
tinent factors:
Speculative money lenders and
some home financing institutions
have Snagged development of
Federal savings and loan associa-
tions, which, while privately man.
aged but under Federal charter,
may receive Federal funds
amounting to rs per cent Of
their paid-in capital. Out Of the
nations 3,072 counties, more
than $500 now have no thrifty
type of institutions for long term
home financing.
Banks Retard Plan
Competition of savings banks
and building and loan associations
and unwillingness of savings banks
to make long-term amortized loans
has tended to retard these banks
from joining the home loan bank
system. On August / the system
had 1896 members with assets of
5000, 100000
About 700 or 800 closed banks
have not as yet availed themselves
Of the RIGS loans to aid in bank
reorganizations and liquidations
for which an aggregate Of $848.-
000, 1000 has been authorized,
$756, 100000 was made after Mr..
Roosevelt's Inauguration.

tions now current in North Caro-
lima between labor and manage
ment, Mr.. German said:
'"The union does not insist
on a strictly national settle
ment.'
Mr.. Gorman's utterance was in
terpreted to mean that individual
agreements between mill owners
and unionistS, provided such
agreements were within the scope
of the national organizations de-
mands, would be sanctioned by
strike headquarters at Washing
ton.
"Shoot to Kill" Orders
Already orders to "shoot to kill"
have been issued by the authori;.,
ties in one Southern town. Fau
River police were reported to have
fired the first shots since the
strike while protecting non'unlon
workers, and numberouS fist fights
and disorders among pickets, non
unionists and the authorities oc'
Cured in several mill centers as
the big textile industrial labor tie
up entered it's third day.
Mr.. German warned the strikers
against violence and disorders and
appealed to the police of the ma
ton, and to the National Guards
men called out in the South to
protect the non-striking workers,
not to close their heads" and pre-
cipitate serious disorders.
He made this plea after recelV-
ing reports that some mill owners
have stored up supplies OF fire
arms and ammunition.
Mr.. Gorman's statement on the
success of the call for all workers
to quit the mills in a united
fight for improved working con-
ditions still conflicts with that OF
George A. Sloan, president of the
cotton textile institute.
The strike leader contends that
about 100000 workers have quit
their machines so far "and the
strike is spreading hourly" He
added:
"Our estimate Of a so per
cent walkOut the first day has
been surpassed. 1t will be IS
per cent effective before the
end of the week."
FIGURES DISPUTED
Mr.. Sloan disputes Mr.. Cor
mans figure, claiming not more
than 100000 workers have an
Swered the strike call. Peter Van
Horn, chairman of the silk code
authority, said Mr.. Sloan's esti'
mate is correct.
Mr.. German sent a telegram
to North Carolina's governor
protesting against the orders the
Fayetteville authorities gave po-
lice when they sent them
smashing through the strikers
picket lines. Mr.. German said
the police were told to shoot
to kill"
Another development in the
strike was Mr.. Gorman's polite
but plainly-worded letter to Fed
eral Relief Administration Harry
L. Hopkins taking exception to
Mr.. Hopkins statement that the
union should not think the Gov.
ernment is going to "underwr1te"
its strike.
He told Mr.. Hopkins the United
Textile Workers Union has man
aged strikes in the past "and we
have managed somehow to take
care of our people so that they
might carry on the struggle" "
