already in suspense as to the next
move of Italy or Ethiopia, this an

a dread holocaust.
Generally regarded as smart move

Americans and Britons involved re-

is a foreign subsidiary owned jointly
by Socony Vacuum Oil 90. and STAN

owns the African Exploration and De-

Tells Neighbors to Demand
Candidates Submit Budg.
cts Before Election.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

HYDE PARK, N Y. September g..
AS President Roosevelt today en-
tered upon what promises to be
comparatively busy week, the resi-
dents of this little Dutchess County
community are discussing the views
expressed by him late yesterday after
noon at a gathering Of members of
the Hyde Park improvement Asso-
citation. in which he declared that
in local political contests the voters,
instead of pinning their faith in ma
tional party labels, should demand
that the opposing candidates for
office submit their prospective budgets
for inspection before election day
Hyde Park Township. like the rest
Of DutcheSS County, is overwhelmingly
Republican, and the discussions today
Of the Presidents talk, include at
tempts on the part of many to recon-
cile the views Of Franklin D. Roose-
velt, a local taxpayer, with the actions
of Franklin D. Roosevelt, head of
the Federal Government. The Presi-
dents suggestion to cut local gov
ernment waste and his advice to run
on a budget seems to have stirred
up no end Of talk here today.
Mr. Roosevelt spoke to this local
group, assembled before an open fire,
on the lawn of his cottage retreat
at the so-called Waikiki section of
the Roosevelt estate, in an informal
manner. He spoke extemporaneously.
His participation was at the request
of Mrs. Roosevelt, who helped organ
ize the improvement association about
a year ago.
Talk Held Significant.
Although he was expected to speak
only of local problems of Government,
there are some today who are of the
opinion that the President might try
to force the use of his advice about
candidates being required to submit
their budgets before election in the
Forthcoming national election. 1t is
thought possible that he will be pre-
pared to do this himself, and that he
will demand of his opponents, who no
doubt will pounce upon excessive Fed
eral expenditures, to show just how
and where they would make savings
in governmental cost.
During the course of his impromtu
speech to this gathering of about $50
