JAMES ROOSEVELT
ST|RS ARGUMENT
Report on N. R. A. State
ment From Office at Odds
With Papers.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, October 17.-An election
conscious Nation weighed tonight the
import of discussion by James
Roosevelt, son of the President, Of the
outlawed national recovery act.
At odds were two reports OF the
remarks he made on the N. r. A. in
response to a query from the floor
at a Democratic rally in Gardner last
night.
The Worcester Telegram quoted the
Presidents son as saying:
"If the N. r. A. had not been
knocked out we would not have
had as much unemployment. The
way to correct this Is to shorten the
hours Of labor.
I'm order to accomplish this, the
President intends to continue the
principles Of the N. r. A. by going
before the people and seeking an
amendment to the Constitution to
make the principles of N. r. A. the
law OF the land"
Quoted by ONCE.
Young Roosevelt's office here, how
ever, quoted him as saying In answer
to the question:
THE answer to the second part of
the question Cregarding recovery is
the necessity for shorter hours and
better working conditions to eliminate
the problem of the unemployed.
These are the purposes of the N.
r. A. The administration Is pledged
to attempt to carry out the purposes
Of the N. r. A. in every constitutional
manner.
Should there be no way in which
this can be accomplished, which we
do not admit, as an individual see
! no alternative but to ask the people
for the right to make those purposes
constitutional through the Congress
Of the United States
Rooseyelt's Office, in its statement
once amended two hours after it was
first issued-declared the remarks had
been taken from public stenogra-
piers record and had been given out
in order that there may be no mis-
understanding and no misquotation OF
the exact words used"
Statement of Paper.
In statement issued after the
one from Roosevelt's Office, the Wor-
cester paper said
The Worcester Telegram stands
on its report of James Roosevelts re-
marks in Gardner, Mass. last night.
when the Telegram quoted him as
saying the President intends TO con-
tinue the principles of the N. r. A.
by going before the people and seeking
an amendment TO the Constitution to
make the principles OF the N. r. A.
the Law of the land.
The Telegram's report Of the speech
was taken direct from an unbiased
stenographic record made at the meet
ing and is further supported by per-
sons who attended and listened closely
to James Roosevelts remarks"
Immediately after the Telegram's
report that James Roosevelt said his
father intended ito make the prin-
ciples of the N r. A." into law came a
request from the Eastern division of
the Republican National Committee
for corroboration or denial by the
President.

The priest lunged upon him and
grappled briefly with the intruder. and
then. as others on the platform closed
in, Coughlin drew back, smiling and
waving at the crowd. The specta-
tors were surging forward, shouting
threats at Hockaday.
Don't touch that man." Coughlin
shouted, leaning over the railing on
the platform. Don't touch that man.
Well bring him up here and let him
talk. I love to talk with Communists

Rushed Away by Police.
While police rushed Hockaday to a
waiting squad car, Coughlin's asso-

shoulders and helped him adjust a
microphone worn hanging from his
shoulders. 1t had been torn off in
the scuff1e.

moval of Coughlin and the Board of
