 MT.

 It was with a forward-looking note that the president entered the state. Observers said his address, delivered before 35,000 persons as 8 dedication of Kansas City's new municipal auditorium, was meant to emphasize his determination to point ahead in promise rather than look backward in defense during the remainder of his campaign ut- terances.
 Attack on Landon
 In the address, too, he delivered an implied attack on Governor Lam don, which followed campaign charges that the governor econo- IulZeQ III NdlEodo " bAAS AS"A A~~A~ of Kansas schools.
 In the vein that "the highest duty of any government is to order public affairs so that opportunities for youth shall be made ever broader and firmer," the president asserted:
 "The school is the last expendi- ture upon which America should be willing to economize."
 MT. Roosevelt spoke of touring eastern Colorado and western Kan sas where, he said, he saw evidence of years of mans neglect" of phy- sical resources. But, he said, the most appalling waste of the days of false prosperity and recent dis aster" was human erosion"

 The eco, he said, was the first move to eliminate what he termed an "era" of boy and girl wanderers who had ahead of them nothing but 'black future".
 "The door of opportunity had been slammed in their faces" he sad. Hanging around on street corners, roaming around the country in bands vainly looking for work = there was the real danger which America faced.
 i "Cities couldn't help, counties couldn't help. states couldn't help, i Even big business couldn't help. Your federal government acted" The president added that it cost money x X to save the energy, the ability and spirit of youth. No money was ever better spent.
