CALLANDER, Ont, May 2
G.N.SO.-With all the Dionne
quintuplets now rapidly recover
ing from the effects of their
recent head colds, their guardians
today went forward with plans to
alter their hospital home, which
has been found too small.
The guardians intend to add a
solarium to the hospital for use
both as an indoor and outdoor
room and as an isolation ward if
necessary. With large number
of tourists expected at the hos
pital this summer, it is hoped
they will be able to view the babies
in the solarium without disturbing
them.
The hospital grounds also will
be enlarged, and storage facilities
will be provided. The verandah
may be extended around the north
side of the building, and it is
planned to clear out a parking
space, probably on the Dionne
property across the road.
Ever since policemen were sta,
toned at the hospital more than
month ago to protect the quin-
tuplets from possible kidnapers,
Elzire and Olivia Dionne, the
parents, have seldom visited their

buke from the White House.
Secretary of Commerce Roper
will lead a delegation of his bust

White House late today to call
on Mr.. Roosevelt. Most of the
members of the council also are
members of the chamber. This,
it appeared, will be the only con-
tact the annual convention of
the chamber will have with the
White House this year.
Show Disappointment
The final meeting of the Cham
Der brought into the open the dis
appointment at President Roose-
veIt's failure to send a message to
the convention. At the same time
there was an appeal for a resolu-
ton assuring the Administration
that the organization, although
critical, is not antagonistic to the
New Deal.
| Francis E. Powell, president Of
the American Chamber of Com
merce in London, injected this
question when he expressed doubt
as to the wisdom of voting a reso-
luton condemning the present Ad-
ministration policies for reciprocal
trade treaties.
Dooroeootot two IJoroId TnI1+SoT1
Cd of st. Cloud, Mimi, made a
futile motion to postpone adop-
ton until next year of the reSolu-
ton criticizing the reciprocal
trade policies. The chamber voted
him down and adopted the resolu-
ton in a roar of approval.
Mr.. Powell, raising the question
of President Roosevelt's failure to
address the chamber or send
message, said:
81 was disappointed to see that
we did not get a message from
the Chief Executive this year.
I hope I am not out of order
because I am living abroad.
81 am also wondering whether
in the resolutions adopted there
will be anything done to diSabuse
the mind of the country from
the feeling that this body is di-
rectIy antagOnistic to the Ad-
miniStratiOn."
RULED OUT OF ORDER
President Henry I. Hartman,
presiding, ruled that the sugges-
ton of Mr.. Powell was out Of
order at the time, and the cham
Der resumed it's work of adopting
resolutions.
The Lehigh University econ
omist, DR.. Neil CarotherS, told the
chamber that New Deal bubble
blowing" has retarded recovery in
America.
The present Administration, he
said, has tried the impossible task
of trying to do artificially what
can only be done naturally. The
result has been a slowing up of
the processes of recovery.
Nevertheless, said the college
professor, recovery is on the way

vention in many years that has
not had a speech or a message
from the President. At the White
House it was said that Mr.. Roose-
welt had not been asked to send
any message. Consequently, he
did not do so.
There was no comment from
the White House on the torrent
of criticism which has flowed
through the big auditorium of
the ChambS Of Commerce this
week. It is an open secret, how
ever, that there is keen resent
ment in high Administration
quarters over the attitude of the
chamber, whose officials are con-
sidered "unfriendly'' to Mr.. Roose-
welt and his Administration.
It was this feeling that
prompted Mr.. Farley today to
assert badly that "big business
will do everything it can to de-
feat us next year."
Farley Not Disturbed
Mr.. Farley said, grinning, that
he was not disturbed by reports
that Mr.. Roosevelt is Slipping,
politically"
THE president is strong enough
with the country to win and win
easily" he said, despite the Snip
ing" of big business.
AS Mr.. Farley views it, the next
campaign will be a Straight-out
fight between the two old parties.
He doesn't believe a third party
will come along, or if one does,
that it will be of serious proper
tionS, Huey Long and others to
the contrary.
Democratic leaders, Mr.. Farley
included, appear more disturbed
over the state of party finances
than they are over the opposi-
ton of "big business"
The party, he admitted, still
has deficit of about 100000,
which includes the $4,000 still
owed to John j. Raskob, who
was Al Smiths campaign man
ager. The cost of running the
last campaign was approximately
$1,650,000. The next campaign,
Farley believes, can be run for
less. He said the deficit would
be cleaned up before the next
campaign starts, but he was un-
communicative as to how this is
to be accomplished.
Long Standing
The GOODNESS between PreSi-
dent Roosevelt and the United
States Chamber of Commerce is
of long standing. The chambers
leaders always have been du-
bious of most of the New Deal
policies and frequently have
taken pot-Shots at them through
the medium of public statements.
On one occasion. some months
ago, the Chamber addressed an
open letter to Mr.. Roosevelt,
challenging him to defend a one
