At Soldiers Memorial, a million dollar project, thousands of citizens gave the president tumultuous re- ception. A bright sun beat down during the ceremonies in the shadow of the gaunt iron work of the unfln- ished building which the president dedicated.
 MT. Roosevelt took his place on the platform after driving several blocks through crowded streets. At the con- clusion of his brief address the pres ident motored to the Jefferson memorial, 8 gigantic project, and then went back to his train to de- part for Chicago.
 MT. Roosevelt was to visit the Jef- ferson memorial, PWA project, and leave shortly after noon (EST) for East St. Louis en route to 8 second major campaign address at the sta dium in Chicago.
 He was cheered by the size and en- thusiasm of receptions he has had as far west as the Rocky Mountain area and eastward to Missouri through Kansas, home state of the republican presidential candidate, Gov. Ali M. Landon.
