SMITH DIGS UP
 1882 PLATFORM
In Philadelphia Address He Claims Roosevelt
 Has Repudiated It
BY ROSCOE sNIPEs

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Philadelphia, Oct. 9-(UP)-The New Deals alleged repudiation of its 1892 platform is the ammunition Al Smith carries today in his battle to drive the Roosevelt administra- tion out of power.
 Swinging his brown derby and heading toward further assaults on the administration, Smith made it clear why he took his famous walk" and why lie broke his life time ties with the democratic par- ty.
 He did it in a speech last night before 4,000 persons in the Metro politan Opera House-most of them dissatisfied democrats who said they would follow the happy war rior "as long as he wants to walk, as far as he wants to walk and in any direction he may choose to go."
 Smith drew a blue print of his strategy between now and election day. Plank by plank, he said, he intends to take up the 1892 demo- cratic platform and in future speeches attempt to show that the Roosevelt administration threw them "out the window" Last night he dealt with the farm plank, ac- cusing the New Deal of repudiating its pledge to the farmers, of forcing up the cost of living, of destroying foreign markets for agricultural products and of opening trade channels to flood of farm imports.
 He spoke under auspices of a committee of IT prominent Phil adelphia democrats, headed. by Registrar of Wills Harry Dougherty, who introduced Smith as "the still happy warrior, fighting with all his might for God and Country"
 Smith did not repeat the out-and -out endorsement of lNpublican presidential candidate Ali M. Lan- don that electrified his auditors i1l New York week ago, but he did say that no democrat need fear he was walking out of the party"
 "The party" he shouted, "has walked away from you"
 Smith attacked directly but with out using his name Pennsylvania $ democratic Governor, George H Earle, alleging that stolen coal is "bootlegged" out of the state be- cause the law is not enforced.
 By implication. there was a hint that his opposition to President Roosevelt applied also to Gov. Her. bert H. Lehman of New York, an- other former political and personal friend, who is one of President Roosevelt's strongest supporters. He quoted Lehman's rival in the gu- bernatorial campaign as favoring

Probably no artist on the con.

Rosenthal, who early showed pro-
ficiency at piano playing. At the
age of 8, he took up the study of
piano under Galoth and later, Carl
Mikuli. At 10, he was making
successful appearances as Soloist,
and at 13, he was the pupil of
Rafael JoSephy in Vienna. The
next year, he toured Europe with

him as a pupil.
