mented state and he said so. Other New Dealers believed in 1t, but kept their mouths shut. Tug well, of course, was handicapped by the fact that he had done o great deal of writing before he ever heard of Roosevelt.
 Chance" he once wrote, "has substituted itself for the an- throp0morphic interpretation of history as . casual sequence"
 Most people would not have understood what this meant, had not Tugwell admitted openly and naively that regimentation is the opposite of chance, and that he is not for chance.
 Revolutionary Valentino
 He was too bashful to explain some of his theories, and too proud to keep himself out of the public eye. His clothes. his hair, everything about him is such as to attract attention. He is one of the most exquisite dreSsers in Washington, was called the Val entino of the Revolution. He winced visibly whenever that name was applied.
 IN THE END HISTORY WILL FORGET ALL THAT.
 History has Q way of forgetting. It will not make much difference to history whether Tugwell's shoes were shined, his pants creased, or whether he took his wife to the movies. But he did inaugurate Q needed plan of readjusting farm and industrial populations-A FALTERING PLAN, PERHAPS, BUT A START.
 Roosevelt Photos
 The President was having his photograph taken by "The March of Time," at Hyde Park shortly before elections. Mrs. James Roosevelt, his mother and hos- tess at Hyde Park, was sitting with him. Photographers were pushing them this way and that, telling them to look to the left and right.
 Finally the elder Mrs. Roosevelt remarked: Franklin, I don't see why they want to take your pie ture now when you're so busy. Why can't they wait until after November 3 when you have more time2"
 Because I may not be Presi- dent then," replied her son with . laugh.

RO0SEvELT-THAT's ALL Bridgeport Telegraph

It was in the air.
 The shadow of the approaching Roosevelt landslide had forecast the event long before election day. But even MT. Roosevelt's closest friends must have been surprised at the magnitude of the sweep.
 The first sensational "break" in the election returns occurred at 2 o'clock last night when Station WICC, broadcasting from the edi- torial rooms of the Bridgeport Post and Telegram, conveyed the as- tonishing news that on the basis of early returns Connecticut was unquestionably giving its electoral votes to Franklin D. Roosevelt.
 After that, each succeeding broad cast from one end of the nation to the other magnified the extent of the sweep.
 Connecticut folk rubbed their eyes as they heard the tremendous Roosevelt pluralities rolling in from Bridgeport, New Haven and Hart ford, but the greater astonishment came when the smaller towns, or- dinarily rock-ribbed Gibraltars of republican strength reported dwin- ding Landon pluralities or lined up in the Roosevelt column. Everyone knew that 1t was a landslide and nothing less. No such expression of sentiment could be confined to one locality. It was universal.

THE DEBACLE IN CONNECTICUT
 (Hartford Courant)

Someone has said all prophecies make sad reading when their term has elapsed. Look at Connecticut Nearly all the prognosticators put 1t safely in the Landon column,-a somewhat mystical place, 50 1t now appears. Experienced political ob- servers came here, gathered infor- nation that seemed to come from trustworthy sources, and departed fully convinced that this state, one of the six to stand by MT. Hoover in 1932, would remain steadfast in It's republican faith. All the pre- election polls pointed to this. But see what happened. Not even the country towns stood by in their ac- customed fashion, while the cities rolled up staggering pluralities for the New Dealers. If help came to the republicans from the Jeffer- sonian democrats, and indirectly from the devoted followers of Father Coughlin. 1t was not discernable.
 Of course, Governor Cross and his entire state ticket were carried along to an easy victory. victory that the governor might have achieved even if the republicans had suc- ceeded in holding fast to Landon. The governor is now in position, at least So far as the senate is con- cerned. to exercise larger measure of control than he has ever before found possible. Although the repub- licans are still in possession of the house. the warning signs are up. They will have to walk humbly.

We don't know whether it was the repeated warning, or whether 1t was because 1t fell so near election, but Halloween in Waterbury in 1936 will go down in history as one of the mildest celebrations on record. We can't recall a recent year when there was so little evidences of ribald merriment during the evening. Just year ago house-owners and car owners were driven to despera.. ton by the crowds of young boys and girls who stormed through various sec- tions of the town raising havoc wherever they went And we must say, too, that the presence of youngsters at front doors That's Tn tsIss a new GUS custom that was never in vogue in the old days When you rang doorbell, then you ran as fast as your legs could carry you away from the scene; scene; However, the years when you observed "door-beil," dclothes-line," Cabbage stalk" and other nights" have vanished, for ever we guess.

Miss Baker Urges Organized
Civic Support to Get
Equipment.

Organized civic support for adequate
appropriations for municipal play
ground equipment was urged last night
by Miss Sibyl Baker. playground
superintendent, at a meeting Of the
City-wide Playground Council.
Declaring there never had been an
adequate allowance for playground
facilities, Miss Baker said the District
has spent only 100000 in the last 20
years for equipment. AS a possible
test Of the costs for proper equipment,
she cited the spending Of $4,000 for
the improvement of Franklin Park
To equip completely one large mu-
nicipal playground would cost at least
that sum, she said.
"You will never get the playground
facilities needed unless there is an
energetic demand on the part of
the public" she added.

the Western High School stadium, 10
Gated in the Burleith section, is

Likewise, A. A. A. officials said, an
increasing number of farmers from
many States are sending kilograms
and calling by telephone to learn
whether Secretary 1ckes would re-
place Secretary Wallace as boss Of

This furore. still fiedgling, was
caused by Senate passage and trans

Of the Interior Department to the

The bill was introduced by Sena-

ing to an opinion by Solicitor Nathan
r. Margold, included in a report to
the Senate yesterday regarding in
vestigation of alleged commuristic

The report was in response to a
resolution by Senator Hastings, Re-
publican, of Delaware, asking for the
information. The data indicated the
departments inquiry dealt mainly
with the question Of whether any
radical speeches were made at series
of conferences on the economic con-
dition of the colored people. held in
one of the university buildings a
year ago.
The records sent to the Senate show
that various memoranda prepared by
the departments investigators were
submitted to the solicitor. resulting in
the ruling. Solicitor Margold stated
the question as to whether the Board
of Trustees Of the university is en-
powered to refuse use of the buildings
for certain purposes was not before
him for decision. Going further, the
solicitor added:
THE investigation of the meetings
held last May apparently was predi-
Gated on the belief that the Secretary
of Interior posse: sed visitorial powers
over the affairs OF Howard University.
Since such powers are limited to the
control of the expenditures of Federal
funds, there exist grave doubts wheth-
er any investigations of the university
except in this limited field may prop
erly be made by the department"
Acting Secretary of Interior West
submitted the files without accom-
panying recommendation and the
data was ordered to be printed and

Anin,al Found Waiting
at Intersection Taken
to Pound.

A donkey with smattering Of traf-

things, ended up at the District pound
today after he was found patiently
waiting at stop" sign at Eleventh
and N streets southeast.
Policemen A. j. Kaskeski and J. G..
Middleton discovered the educated
beast while patrolling their beats.
These skeptics were inclined to believe
the donkey couldn't read, but merely
had obeyed a natural impulse to stop.
At any rate, the donkey apparently
thought it was a permanent stop,
judging from the difficulty police ex-
perienced in, getting their prisoner to
the fifth precinct. -.
Hospitality was showered on the lost
animal at the station by members OF
the Police Boys Club who dined their
guests on pats and water before he
was taken to the pound to await a
claimant.
