PRESIDENT DUE

have been meeting with success
presumably because of work-relief.
Negroes, therefore, were looking
forward to Mr.. Roosevelt's speech
at Howard, even though it had been
billed in advance as of a non-polltl'
cal nature.
The Washington Tribune, sole
newspaper printed in the National
Capital exclusively for Negroes, de-
clares editorially that the Presi'
dent, in his appearance at How
ard, will be making a bid" to
win States north of the Mason
Dixon line where there is a heavy
Negro registration. Those men
toned are New York, Pennsyl'
vania, Ohio, New Jersey, Illinois,
Indiana, Missouri and Michigan.
100000 Families
How many Negro votes there
are is hard to determine. There
are more than 100000 Negro
families in the country, for the
most part concentrated in big
cities of the East and in the
South.
Round-figure estimates for
larger cities alone indicate a
Negro population as follows: New
York city, 100000; Philadelphia,
100000; Chicago, 235,000; Detroit,
1875, 900; st. Louis, 100000, and
Cleveland, $4,000.
Over the week end President
Roosevelt continued work on the
nine speeches to be delivered by
November 2. He hoped to have
at least six of them completed by
the time he leaves Washington
tomorrow night to resume his last
minute campaigning.
Apart from today's address at
Howard University, the Executive
will appear in the following or
der:
New York city, Wednesday, for
anniversary exercises at the
Statue of Liberty; Wilkes-Barre
and Harrisburg. Pa; Camden, N.
j., and Wilmington, Del, on
Thursday; Brooklyn on Friday: a
final campaign rally at Madison
Square Garden in New York city
Saturday night, and the Gus
tomary last word over the radio
next Monday night.

ey the Associated Press.
An estimate that one-eightn OF
khis years college graduates completed
their education supported by part
time relief Jobs was made today by
khe National Youth Administration.
Because prospects for employment
for this years graduates are reported
considerably higher than for those OF
the last five years. and because Of the
training received and scholastic rec
nrds made by these 19,803 students
who have received N. Y. A. aid Au-
brey williams. N Y. A. director,
added I'VE are hopeful that they will
soon have full-time jobs"
President Roosevelt recently Sug-
eested that persons under 18 and over
IS be taken off the labor market to
reduce unemployment. Williams to-
day estimated that college graduates
this year would total $4,000.
N. Y. A. paid undergraduates an
average Of SIS month and graduate
students from $25 to $50 for part
time jobs that enabled them to stay
In college A total of 1885 college
students have been partly supported
by N Y. A. during, the past year
The youth aid programs work relief
ellotment-also designed to help high
school students and industry appren-
tices-is to be increased from $50
900. 900 to $75 100000 next year.
I'VE are proud of these young peo-
T,Ie williams said after noting that
more than one-half the N. Y. A. COL
lege students we're on the honor roll,
because they have not only done
part time work while obtaining their
degrees. but have made excellent
grades in their studies.
I'VE believe this work experience
secured as often as possible in the
field of their studies-coupled with
the high scholastic showing they have
made, places them among the most
capable of this years graduates
williams said the N. Y. A. gradu-
ates, who made up 14.3 per cent of
the college students receiving Gov
ernment aid, would receive 1854
bachelor degrees, 1901 M AS, ITS

BOYS CLUB PLAN
 CAMPING PROGRAM
Second Detachment of Youngsters Leaves for
 Cheshire Last Night

Tho second camping period Of the new Boys club camp on Cheshire road at the estate of the late Nicholas Combellack, opened last night. Another group of youngsters from the local club left here at 6:30 o'clock last evening for the Cheshire encampment.

Many hikes have been planned for the boys under the guidance of su. pervisors and several baseball games will also mark the program.
 Following are the members of this weeks group: Francis Ma honey, Teddy White, Norman Dai- gle, Robert Farreri, John D'Angelo, Antonio Ferretti, Vincent Andolina, John Spinella, Thomas O'Connor, Joseph Mariana, Nick Ferretti, An- thony Di Giacomi, Peter Bencivenga and Jerry Bencivenga.

far back as they can remember And not much else!" bemoaned one.
 The terrific earnestness of the Townsendites is made clear by their attitude in the convention hall. They arrive on time, 6 strange contrast to the ordinary political convention They applaud when told to, which is less of 0 difference.
 But when the fireworks of eno- tional speaking is over, they all sit grinly in their seats and listen to every word of interminable reports of officers. They intend to miss nothing.
 The crusading type is the most prominent. Take the example of Mrs. Mary D. Burlingabe of Bur- lingame, Gal. This venerable lady is 9l, and drove oil the way tO Clevc- land with members of her family. Howe, sewing-machine inventor, back before the Civil war, when he was being attacked on the ground that his machine would rob seain- stresses of jobs through technologi. eal unemployment.
 She fought with the Anti-slavery crusade before and during the Civil war, assisting actively with the un. derground railroad. She caimpaigned 20 years for women's rights. And now she is fighting with scarcely lessened vigor for the Townsend Plan.

 There are ct least 150 of them. They sing the song over and over again. Then someone demands "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" and it is sung. But they swing back to "The Greatest Plan," Dr. Thomas song. A unsmiling lady in nose- glasses and an eyelet dress taps her foot and swings her arms to help Dr. Thomas lead the singing. A tall man capers in an awkward and stiff legged two-step. He is quite sober. The singers repeat: :. "Oh, the Townsend Plan is the
