 ators Be Chosen

WASHINGTON, July Hone of the problems confronting campaign strategists of both parties is to pre- serve-or increase their represen- tation in Congress.

DECLARES GOVT. MORE COMPLEX,
 COSTLY TODAY
People Demanding Up-to- Date Government Presi-
 dent Says at Dedication
ANTIQUATED LAWS HIT BY CHIEF EXECUTIVE
Roosevelt Principal Speak CT at Big Bridge Open
 ing in New York City

NEW YORK, July 11-President Franklin D. Roosevelt cited the sixty-four million dollar Tri-Bor- ough bridge here as a symbol of changing human needs that are constantly making the Government more complex and costly.
 The Chief Executive made his re- marks at the dedication of the bridge today, accompanied by Har- old L. Ickes, Secretary of Interior, enroute to his sea vacation.
 In his brief address, President Roosevelt noted that in the olden days there was no need for such a bridge connecting Manhattan with Queens and the Bronx.
 Some of us are charged with the responsibilities of the government and we pause to ask ourselves whether human needs and inven- tions are going to change as greatly for the generations coming as in the past generation, said President Roosevelt.
 ''The Government itself is of nec- essity more complex because all life is more complex.
 "The machinery of the Govern ment and the cost of the Govern ment of New York in 1901 would not have served the essential needs of the city's peoples of today, The people require and are demanding an up-to-date Government in place of the antiquated Government, just as they are demanding and requir- ing tri-borough bridges in place of the ancient ferries"
