still in doubt as to the best method
of caring for the needy during the
coming months.
Only this much appears certain
at present: President Roosevelt in
tends to pursue his "humanitar-

clined in the least to sacrifice his
idea of the responsibility of gov
eminent for the care of the people
to the demands of those who are
seeking a balanced budget.
While the President has indi-
Gated that plans for an expansion
of the housing program are being
developed and will be submitted
to the next session of Congress,
this is felt to be a part Of his

Democratic Leaders Paint
Glowing Picture Of Party
Chances in November
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
International News Service

Politics-of the practical va
riety-occupied much of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's attention yester-
day. His engagement list was
dotted with those whose interest is
in the forthcoming elections,
rather than in the weightier af-
fairs of government.
The reports that Mr.. Roose-
welt received concerning Demo
cratic success in November were
glowing.
For instance, he was told that
three weeks hence rock-ribbed
Republican Pennsylvania is going
to see the first Democratic land
slide in history. This optimistic
information came from Joseph
Guffey, Democratic senatorial
nominee in Pennsylvania, and
David Lawrence, State chairman,
who had a long conference with
the President.
Guffey Sees Victory
They said Mr.. Roosevelt ex.
pressed great pleasure" at the
prospect.
Another of the Presidents call
erS was DIN D. Johnston, the ex.
cotton mill hand who snatched
the D ocratic gubernatorial
nomination in South Carolina
from Cole Blease, principally on
the ground that he would do
more for the "down-trodden" than
even the fiery Cole.
Still another visitor was H. W.
Kramer, of Cleveland, editor of
the Ohio Democrat, who assured
Mr.. Roosevelt that Ohio is safely
in the Administration fold in No.
vember. Kramer predicted the
Democrats would sweep Ohio by
3 to 2, electing Vic Donahey over
the Republican incumbent in the
Senate, Simeon D. Fess; elect a
Democratic governor, and gain
one or more seats in the House.
It was the Democrats from Re-
publican Pennsylvania, however,
who were most optimistic and
glamorous in their predictions.
Have Copies of Polls
Guffey not only predicted his
own election over Senator David
A. Reed, who has been savagely
attacking the New Deal in Penn
sylvania, but predicted as we'll
that Pennsylvania would elect a
Democratic governor for the first
time in more than half a century,
and increase Democratic repreSen.

fhusiastic theorists profess to see

In Americans whose families have
been OF this slide the ocean two or
three hundred years. They even add
taciturnity. which Is regarded as an
Indian trait.
But the whites of America have
bred and prospered In an environ

of the Indian, with the exception OF
the climate. They are now largely

and are not hunters and walkers.
They tend to grow shorter In stature
In cities, though by no means

The Indians are red brown in color
