ROOSEVELT GRATIFIED
BY ]. RUSSELL YOUNG.


HYDE PARK, N. Y, September :.
President Roosevelt was jubilan.
today over the general reaction to
his announced assurance Of subStan-
tial completion Of the experimental
phases of the New Deal, and his
declaration that business may now
enjoy a breathing spell"
While 1t is too early for the Presi-
dent to have a fairly complete check
up on the reaction throughout the
country, early evidences are known
to have been especially gratifying.
The skeptical response from political
foes appearing in the newspapers to-
day has been noted by the President.
but he expected this.
Political observers here are conf
dent that the announcement has
virtually sounded the opening gun
Of his campaign.
The President and other members
of his household will be among the
guests late this afternoon at the
clam bake on the lawn of Henry
Morgenthau's home. Harry L. Hop
kins also will be a guest.
Hopkins arrived yesterday to visit
the President for a few days.
At his press conference yesterday
afternoon Mr.. Roosevelt showed no
inclination to discuss the probable
extent of the work-relief program
for the next fiscal year, concerning
which he will have to make recon-
mendations in less than four months.
He did say that he did not know
how much money he would ask for or
how much money Congress would
appropriate.

NEW YORK, September THE
see-saw of speculation as to whether
Howard Hughes, oil man and movie
producer. is to marry Ruth Moffett,
l5-year-old daughter Of James A.
Moffett, received another jounce last
night when the New York American

said, that persistent reports have.
linked the names Of his daughter and
Hughes.
Ruth, herself, denied last night
that she was contemplating marriage
with Hughes, but the newspapers
quoted her as saying: We'll be mar

here Monday. We won't be married
before Christmas"
Her sister, Mrs. Jay r. Carlisle, jr.,

COMMISSION GETS
BOUNDARY ACCORD
Agreement on Alexandria
Water Front Must Be Ap-
proved by Legislators.

Terms Of a proposed agreement be-
tween the City Of Alexandria and the
United States regarding the Alexan-
dria water front were laid before the
Virginia-District Boundary Commits
sion for the first time officially yes
terday by Judge G.. A. Iverson OF
counsel for the Federal Government.
The agreement, which had been ap-
proved by counsel for both AleXan-
dria and the United States, will not
become effective, however, until after
1t shall have been approved both by
Congress and the Virginia Legislature.
Resume Hearings Monday.
Meanwhile the commission planned
to resume hearings Monday, at which
time It will hear former State Sena-
tor Frank L. Ball. representing Arling-
ton County and the State of Virginia.
Judge Iverson concluded his argu-
ment yesterday, and Senator Ball
opened the argument over the age-old
controversy concerning the boundary
line between Virginia and the District.
The agreement concerning the Al
exandria water front, terms Of which
had been generally disclosed recently,
provides that the boundary line be-
tween the District and Alexandria
shall be the high-water line as it ex-
listed January "a. 1871, except in so
far as said high-water line has been
changed by the operation of purely
natural causes or by artificial con-
structions erected at so remote a
period and so continuously maintained
and occupied as to warrant the con-
clusion that the boundary has been
changed by prescription"
u. S. Must Be Reimbursed.
Beyond this established line the
agreement provides that property may
be filled in to the bulkhead, but the
Federal Government must be reim-
bursed therefor.
1t is further provided that the
water front Of the city Of Alexan-
dria from the Northern end of the
reclamation known as Battery Cove
to the northern line Of the city limits
Of 1853 has been an established Vir-
ginia port for more than 100 years,
and any settlement Of the present
boundary dispute should insure the
continuance of this area as q Vir-
ginia port"
Provision Is made for the con-
tinued control of the water front
regulations by the Secretary Of War.

refrain from any act which might
hinder or compromise its efforts"
The members of the committee
were represented as recognizing fully
that the problem turns on the possi-
bility of satisfying Italys military
ambitions in Ethiopia.
Premier Mussolini reserved COM
plete freedom Of action, his delegates
to the League of Nations Council.
which appointed the committee. hav-
ing abstained from voting.
Baron Pompeo Aloisi, Mussolinis
chief delegate, will be asked to define
exactly Italy's desires so that the
committee may know where it stands.
The League was proceeding on the
theory that Mussolini wants funda-
mentally controlled disarmament" OF
Ethiopia.
This was interpreted to imply pres
ence of Italian troops on Ethiopian
soil-troops which would be called
police" to supervise the Ethiopian
army or AIMED Ethiopian tribesmen.
This led to a French suggestion
that a peaceful solution to the Afri-
can controversy might be found in
the precedent of military and aviation
privileges which Great Britain enjoys
In Iraq.
To keep the affair judicially under
the aegis of the League, the idea was
advanced also that an international
police force might be installed in
Ethiopia, similar to that sent to the
Saar on the occasion of the recent
plebiscite.
Such troops, however, would be vir-
tually all Italian.
The situation recalled sharply the
case of the Far East in 1915 when
Japan presented its famous 81 de-
mands to China.
League leaders believed Mussolini
would insist on permanent military
link across Ethiopia between his COL
onies Of Eritrea and Italian Somali-
land.
1t was the committees task to find
q compromise-some form of military
occupation which would satisfy Mus
solini, yet be acceptable to Emperor
Halle Selassie and to the League of
Nations.
Creation Of the committee relieved
the League Council temporarily Of con-
sideration Of the crisis, but some
leaders were anxious about the As
sembly, feeling it may be dificult to
prevent public references to the Italo-
Ethiopian crisis.
The League machinery turned at
double speed today as public session
Of the Council discussed routine prob
lens with Aloisi present, while up
stairs the Five-Power Committee
worked.
Two Italians sat around the Council
table. Aloisi represented Mussolini.
Massimo Pilotti, italian undersecre-
tary general for the League, sat in the
place Of Secretary General Joseph A.
G. Avenol. who worked with the Five
Power Committee.
Laval, Eden, De Madariaga. Twefik
Rustu Aras of Turkey and Joseph
Beck Of Poland were represented by
substitutes at the Council table so that
they might be free for the Italo-
Ethiopian discussion.
Baron Aloisi opened the activities
at the Council session, reading re-
port on the signature and ratification
Of agreements and conventions con-
cluded under League auspices.
Before the Council session Aloisi
submitted to the League a communi-
cation concerning the Italo-E Ethiopian
dispute. asserting that in connection
with his governments memorandum
on the Ethiopian situation he wished
to forward a collection of writings on
Ethiopia at the disposal of League
members. >-..,

A. F. G. E. Convention May Be
Asked to Authorize Picketing
of u. S. Departments.

Plans are being made to have the
American Federation of Government
Employees amend its constitution to
permit picketing of Government de-
partments as an outgrowth of the
dismissal of DR.. William z. Zeuch,
expert on co-operatives, by the Rural
Resettlement Administration.
Resettlement Local, No. 206, last
night instructed its president, Mrs.
Janet Gaines, who is also the unions
delegate to the federation convention
at Cincinnati next week, to propose the
amendment.
At present, A. F. G. E. regulations
prohibit picketing and limit the size
of protest delegations to Government
department heads.
The union claims that twice Its
members have called on DR.. Rexford
G. Tugwell, resettlement administrator,
to explain why zeuch was dismissed
and that on both occasions he has
declined to make an explanation.

1t would look very much like a con-
fession Of error, for one thing.
The situation would not be particu-
larly bad except that the diplomatic
grapevine from Moscow has informed
them that the Reds do not care any
thing about recognition either, and
would just as soon call it off.
IT Mr.. Hull had sent his rebuttal
statement to MoscoW, instead OF
merely issuing it to the public,
insiders believe the Reds ,oould
haze acted.
And If all the American shouting
for severance Of relations continues,
the diplomatic group is convinced that
Moscow will try to beat Hull to sever
ance of diplomatic ties.
That Is why Mr.. Hull would like to
forget what he started, but will not
be able to.
Dixie Causes Shivers Here.
The waves which pounded the Dixie
on Florida reef caused some oficial
spinal shudders here also.
What shivered the timbers OF ofn-
cialdom was the fact that, after all the
fancy promises made at the time Of
the Moro Castle and Mohawk disas-
ters nothing Of any importance has
been done in the way Of safety i'm
provement. Not that safety regula-
tions would have stopped the hurricane
but all officials realized that even an
unavoidable sea catastrophe would
have centered public attention again
on the question.
You may recall that ofcials
talked last year about measures to
reoroanize the inspection serpice,
to authorize the Commerce Depart
ment to order changes in construc- =.
ton plans, to set up an accident
rerie,D board of Government er-
perts, and so on.
Legislation carrying out these prom
ises was prepared by off1cials. but
failed in the closing jam Of Congress.

portance.

be permitted a breathing spell
L was not conceived as casually
as it appeared to be. Weeks before
Congress quit, the President decided
it was politically advisable to flll
the void Of explanations about his
maneuvers. From several applicants
for personal interviews and statements
along this line, Mr.. Roosevelt chose
to respond to the letter written to him
by a publisher who has supported his
New Deal through thin and thinner.
The "breathing spell'' assurance
is substantially the same as giDen
privately BY the President to de-
parting Congressional leaders. They
did not doubt that the President
hoped to afford it, that he ,Oas
planning no important legislation
for the January session OF Con-
gress, prior to elections. At the
same time, they made no secret
of their private impression that
the duration of the proposed
breathing spell is problematical.
What they had in the back of their
minds is this:
Supreme Court decisions this Fall
may make new reform legislation i'm
perative from a New Deal viewpoint:
the tax bill is obviously only an initial
step in the program outlined in Mr..
Roosevelt's tax message to Congress;
the monetary situation must be settled
eventually.
Hull Looks Around Corners.
State Secretary Hull looks around
corners these days to make sure that
ne will not run into any one who will
ask him about Russia. All loyal diplo-
mats under him understand that this
subject Is number one on the list of
things Mr.. Hull IS hoping to forget.
He will be disappointed.
He does not know it yet, but the
American Legion, for one, is preparing
to back him up in way. A resolu-
ton will be adopted at the Legion
convention in st. Louis about two
weeks hence approving Mr.. Hull's
noted charge that Moscow violated its
non-propaganda promise. But the
catch in it for Mr.. Hull Is that the
resolution will demand severance OF
diplomatic relations with Russia (Le-
gion insiders who have checked the
prospects believe adoption will be
unanimous).
Bullitt Recall Proposed.
Our secondary diplomats will now
deny it, but they recommended recall
of Ambassador Bullitt following re-
ceipt of the Soviet note disavowing
propaganda pledges as far as the
Third International is concerned. They
are sadly disillusioned about the pros
poets for Russian trade and debt set
tlement.
But the politicians higher up said
nothing doing. They thought it was
good domestic politics for Mr.. Hull to
warn the Reds as sharply as he did,
but severance of relations was another
matter.

PLAN IS REVEALED
FOR ROADS To- D. c.
Commission Presents Pro.
posaI for Arlington Coun-
ty Approaches.
BY a Stat, Correspondent of The Star.

BY Stan Correspondent OF The Star.
ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va,
September IA long-range plan for
improving Arlington County ap-
proaches to Washington was made
public today by the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission, whose
staff made the study with a view OF
eliminating features in the present
system which have been regarded as
unsatisfactory.
The plan was submitted on the re-
quest of Horace L. Woodward, chair
man Of a committee representing
group of civic associations, and has
not been presented to or approved by
the commission. It incorporates, how
ever, most Of the proposals favorably
considered in previous studies by the
commission.
Road Will Be Eliminated.
The Military road, around which
considerable controversy ragged re-
Gently when the McSwain bill was be-
fore Congress, is to be eliminated un-
der the plan and In its stead are to
be the Southern route of Lee Boule-
ward, connecting with Memorial
Bridge, and a new road leading to
Highway Bridge from Washington
Boulevard.
Also to b, eliminated is Arlington
Ridge road, the plan contemplating
the eventual enlargement of Arling-
ton National Cemetery to include that
portion Of the experimental farm
lying south of Southern route.
The Southern route is designed to
handle heavy traffic, including trucks,
proceeding from Key Bridge, in Ross
lyn, to Alexandria and the South, with
light traffic diverted to Mount Vernon
Boulevard, slightly to the north Of
Southern route.
The Northern route, swinging from
Lee Boulevard around the north end
Of Fort Myer, is not part of the plan
as submitted, 1t being in the process
of completion following allotments of
$250,000 from the State and Fed
eral Government.
VIII Use Rail Bed.
The right of way of the abandoned
Washington & Virginia Electric Rail-
way is to be converted into a high
way from a point where the South
ern route swings toward Memorial
Bridge to the vicinity of South Fern
street and Eleventh street south,
thence northward across the lower
end of Columbia pike to point con-
Meeting with Jefferson Davis High
way at the airport.
This new highway will also swing
southwark at Eleventh street south
point and parallel Jefferson Davis
Highway for some distance through
Virginia Highlands.
Woodward's committee will meet
in the near future. he said, to study
the plan and make any recommended
tions considered desirable.
