LUCKY 13 WIN
SEATS AT HIS
TABLE
Warm Springs Holiday
To Give Full Rein
To Enjoyment

WARM SPRINGS, Ca, Nov. %
uN.SO.-All of the children tenn
porarily here at the Warm
Springs Foundation were looking
forward eagerly to this evenings
meal.
It was Thanksgiving and Presi-
dent Roosevelt in person was to
be on hand at Georgia Hall-the
main building of this South
Georgia health center-to carve
the turkey.
Copious portions we're available
for all, according to the chef, who
had been roasting prime birds
since early morning, but the most
excited youngsters on the founda-
ton were the lucky 13 who drew
seats at the head table with the
President and Mrs. Roosevelt and
their eldest son, James.
President Faces kidding"
The highlight of the evening
was to be the Presidents annual
Thanksgiving speech. Mr.. RooSe-
welt went from Warm Springs
into the governors mansion at
Albany, N. Y, and then into the
White House. This inspiration
had the youngsters pretty much
excited. They had arranged an
elaborate entertainment to follow
the turkey carving which included
both local and professional talent.
There were rumorS that all of the
presidential party were going to
be well "kidded" before the eve
ming was over.
While waiting for the dinner
time ceremonies. the President
spent several hours in putting his
speech at the Atlanta home
coming rally" tomorrow into final
shape.
Speculation had it that Mr..
Roosevelt would make a strong
defense of Administration policies
which definitely affect the South.
If this surmise is correct, the
President will elaborate on bene-
fits derived from the AAA and
IVA Agricultural Adjustment
Administration and Tennessee
Valley Authority-both of which
are under attack before the
Supreme Court.
Talmadge Is Target
He will have a particularly
good setting for such a speech in
Atlanta tomorrow. Pro-Adminis-
trationites had arranged the
Statewide rally with view of
showing Gov. Eugene Talmadge
that Georgia rallies behind Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Talmadge has ranked for some
months with Father Coughlin and
the late Senator Huey Long, of
Louisiana. as a bitter critic of the
New Deal.
Only yesterday Governor Tai
madge called upon the President
to defend himself against three
specific accusations.
One was that the AAA and the
Bankhead cotton act are unconsti-
tutional in the first place, and in
furious to the interests of the
farmers in the second.
The second was that commun-
istic influences were discernable
in the IVA setup because those in
charge refused to permit building
Of denominational churches at
Norris, Tenn.
Shot at Tugwell
Talmadge'S final blast at Presi-
dent Roosevelt was to the effect
UnderSecretary of Agriculture Rex
Tugwell was spending more on his
Washington payroll than he was
on rural rehabilitation.
Mr.. Roosevelt told newspaper
men he would make a Commute
speech at the Atlanta celebration,
but was waiting for last-minute
figures from Washington before
he whipped it into final shape.
The President will be in
beautiful political position tomor-
row to answer Talmadge's recent
attacks by thinly concealed in
direction. According to advance
notices, up to a quarter-million
GeorgianS will converge on At
lanta to greet the President
while Talms dge takes a back seat
