make in the state as part of the Texas Centenniai celebration, the President did not discuss current politics. He arrived here this morn- ing from Little Rock, Ark, where last night he engaged in an inc promptu radio duel with former President Hoover.
 Reviewed Events
 He reviewed the events which made Texas Q republic 100 years ago and lauded Sam Houston and the men who fought with him. "These heroes gave us more than territory they set an example which in it. self is Q glorious heritage = 6 just cause for state and national corn- rnemoration," he said. Men fought here for principles they loved more dearly than their own lives. Liberty loving people will always do battle for principles they believe to be right. civilization, alas, has not yet made it unnecessary for men to die in battle to sustain principle. It Is, however, my hope that in this generation the United States, by it's own example, can maintain and help to maintain principles by means of peace rather than by means of war"
