Opening Note
OF Campaign

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 20.
(UP)-President Roosevelt,
in an indirect but forceful
reply to New Deal critics,
told 10000 persons today
that lavish government spending
was over and the nation could
"look forward with assurance to a
decreasing deficit"
Political observers took his
speech as an outline of his party's
campaign ammunition in next
years national election.
He spoke before a throng that
jammed Grant Field, the stadium
of the Georgia School of Technol-
ogy, part of a Homecoming day"
celebration arranged by tn e
Georgia congressional delegation
in his honor in which approxi-
mately 250,000 persons took part.
While he mentioned no individ-
ual in his opposition by name, his
references to conditions when he
took office three years ago were
frequent and often pointed and
their pointedness in reference to
the recent criticisms of his i'm
mediate White House predecessor
Herbert Hoover, was inescapable.
He devoted some time to pointing
out the improved condition of
farmers under the New Deal.
Peak Now Passed
GAS things stand today" he
said, land in the light of defin-
ite and continuing economic i'm
provement, we have passed the
peak of appropriations; revenues,
without the imposition OF new
taxes, are increasing and we can
look forward with assurance to a
decreasing deficit.
1.-The credit of the government
is today higher than that of any
other great nation in the world, in
spite of attacks on that credit
made by those few individuals and
organizations which seek to die
tate to the administration and TO
the congress how to run the ma
tional treasury and how to let
the needy starve."

administration, was all embrac-
ing, being, in effect, an account
ing of stewardship since March,
1888.
81 can realize that gentlemen in
well-warmed and well-stocked clubs
win discourse on the expense of
government and the suffering that
they are going through because the
government is spending money tor
work relief" he said.
Il wish I could take some of these
men out on the battle-line of hui
man necessity and show them the
facts that We in the government
are facing. If these more FORUM
ate Americans will come with me,
will not only show them the ne
cessity for the expenditures of this
government, but will show them,
as well, the definite and beneficial
results we have attained with the
dollars we spent.
Dole More Economical
Some of these gentlemen tell
me that dole would be more &C.
onomical than work relief. That
is true. But the men who tell me
that, have, unfortunately, too little

His mother, Mrs. Dorothea Liv-

She was under opiates in a room

COOLIDGE FARM
IS PROPOSED
ASSHR|NE

NEW YORK, May "a U.S0.
"A plan to restore the old Coolidge
birthplace at Plymouth, VT, as a
historical shrine is revealed by
Mrs. Calvin Coolidge in the June
Good Housekeeping.
Mrs. Coolidge, continuing her
series of intimate memoirs, says
that John G. Sargent. Attorney
General under Mr.. Coolidge, heads
a committee proceeding with the
project to preserve the old Ver-
mont farmhouse for posterity.
She writes:
"There could be no more fit
ting monument to our thirtieth
President, nor one which would
be more in keeping with his
natural state. Undoubtedly, he
gave some consideration to the
matter himself, and for that
reason made extensive repairs.
In building the six-rOOm addi-
ton to his fathers house, ne
was particular that no change
should be made in the original
structure"
It was in the austere Plymouth
farmhouse that Mr.. Coolidge spent
his boyhood, and it was there that
he took the oath of office as Presi-
dent of the United States, by the
light of kerosene lamp.
His only monument today is a
simple five-foot granite stone in
the Plymouth Cemetery, similar to
that of his son, Calvin, jr. But
plymouth Notch, itself, with its
country store, church, Coolidge
homestead and cheese factory, is
so identified with Mr.. Coolidge

that it attracts tourists in increas'
ing numbers. Mrs. Coolidge adds
"While Father Coolidge was
alive he welcomed visitors to his
home, invited them into the sit
ting room, and posed for innu.
merable pictures. Since his
death his hOuSekeeper has con.
tinued to admit callers as gener'
ally as her time and strength
have permitted"

The House decision to investigate

The bill seeks to accomplish three
other purposes besides the consolida-
