TERRY CARPENTER
PERSISTS IN RACE.
Party Nominee to Campaign
Despite Failure to Get
Farley Support.
BY GEORGE F. FISHER,
ereria1 Correspondent Of The Star.

Special Correspondent OF The Star.
OMAHA, Nebr., September S.
Nebraska organization Democrats are
not worrying over prospect OF split
caused by resignation of Senator Ed
ward r. Burke as national commit
teeman. The Executive Committee
Of the Democratic State Committee
at . meeting this week completed
plans to conduct the campaign with
out official reference to filling the va
cant post. State Chairman Quigley,
F.. designated by National Chairman
Farley to take temporary charge. Is in
control, with a finger on both Lincoln
and Omaha headquarters.
After the Executive Committee
meeting, Quigley stated the Burke
succession was not mentioned"
Terry Carpenter, Democratic sena-
torial primary candidate, left Lincoln
after the meeting to appeal again to
Chairman Farley in New York,
where he was reported no more sue
cessful in gaining support than on his
visit after the national convention.
Launches New Paper.
But that didn't deter Carpenter
from launching his new paper, the
Senator, daily, at ScottSbluff, Nebr,
in which the salutation was that he
knew no such thing as defeat"
Carpenter announced he was COM
ing back to Nebraska to open his CAM
paign formally September is. Ru-
nored efforts by organization Demo-
Gratis to sidetrack him with the offer
of . Job either have been untrue or
have come to nothing. Carpenter
started his paper new from the ground
up with an announced expenditure OF
$4,000 and the leasing of complete
press wire service.
All the time Senator George w.
Norris is enjoying the Wisconsin air
.at his Summer home at Waupaca,
keeping silent and thereby causing the
greatest amount of speculation that
has attended the launching of any
Nebraska candidacy in many years.
James E. Lawrence, Lincoln, Nebr.,
editor, chairman Of the committee that
has been gathering petitions for Norris
70 run as an independent, is said to
have about 10000 names already af-
fixed. It previously was stated that
10000 were desired so that Norris
might start with such fanfare as to
+, swamp the opposition.
Under the law only 1000 names are
required, but the Norris Committee
aimed to place the Senator before the
public with such a background of
popular acclaim that it would place
him on pinnacle at the start.
This week the arrangements for
President Roosevelt's drought confer
ence at Des Moines have dwarfed the
Nebraska imbroglio. Neither Senator
Burke nor Senator Norris will attend
Burke wrote, after first accepting, that
he will be unable to break his Demo-
cratic speaking schedule in Maine.
Senator Norris merely declined. Burke
has been inspecting the Passama-
quoddy project.
Early this month both the Farmer
Labor party and the Union party will
hold State conventions in Omaha.
Neither has an organization legal
under Nebraska statutes. The Union
party may try TO put up a few con-
gressional candidates.

Greenbelt Rapidly Developing
With 5000 Workers on Job

have been applied 50 cleverly that
there is little monotony. although most
units are in rows of six.
There is garage space for about half
the estimated population and room
for construction of more garages as
the need arises. Some garages are
connected with the houses. Others
are in separate rows.
The housing units are so arranged
that no residents front door will con-
front his neighbors' back door. The
effect is a system of neat parallels,
each house with front lawn. Back
yards will be Handicapped so as hardly
to be distinguishable from the front
of the premises. Trees have been left
standing to provide shade without
darkening house interiors.
Every block has play spaces for
children. Swings, slides, ETC., are to
be provided. Sidewalks lead to each
residence, via concrete underpasses to
provide safe passage for pedestrians
across principal streets or highways.
The houses are Of brick or cinder
mold, a durable substance made OF
concrete and cinders. They will be
fireproofed and insulated with rock
wool to Withstand extremes of tenn
perature. Some upstairs floors are OF
wood, but the principal flooring sub
stance is of asphalt tile.
Each row is heated by single
piece of apparatus, but each resident
can control his home temperature by
thermostat, the piping being separate
for the several units in the row. Fur
thermore, if John Jones at House No.
6 in block E uses more heat than
Samuel Smith in House No. 7. Smith
will not have to pay more for his heat
Just because the fellow sharing the
row furnace likes tropical interior.
Two Rows Nearly Ready.
Two rows of houses are little short
of ready for occupancy. They give
a good idea Of what the rest OF the
town will shape UP to be. One row
is Of red brick, unpainted and with
gabled roofs. That opposite Is OF
cinder mold, painted pleasing shade
of blue gray with bright blue trim
mings. Although the roofs are fiat
the general effect does not suggest a
row of boxes.
A variety of color schemes is used
for interiors. A bed room may be
pink, the living room green and the
dining room buff colored. Whatever
the arrangements, the colors are not
loud" and the combinations do not
clash.
Every bed room has its closet. Some
rooms have two windows, others only
one. But the windows are big and the
houses have been placed in such q
way as to benefit most from sunlight
and prevailing winds.
Instead of paying rent, residents
will be billed each month for q
blanket charge. This includes basal
rent, ranging from $24 for the small
est to $45 for the largest units; elec-
tricity, water, heat and taxes.
Bills will be made payable to the
town corporation, q private operating
concern, which will take charge when
construction has been completed and
the Federal Government has with
drawn. This corporation will have
several unsalaried directors, selected
by but operating independently OF
the Resettlement Administration. The
directors will employ Roy s. Braden,
former Arlington County manager
as town manager, and whatever other
municipal employees are necessary
Evening star., 1936-09-06

Residents may change their admin
istration by ballot, however.
The residential units are arranged
on q crescent-shaped plateau on the
inner loop Of which will be the town
a theater, elementary
school, fire house, garage, municipal
center equipped with gymnasium and
auditorium. To the east of the down
town" region will be a beer garden
Concessions will be granted to select
private business firms and individuals
500 Homes Under Way.
At present about 800 of an eventual
200 family dwellings are under con-
struction. When Greenbelt has been
completed there will be 288 apart
ments and 712 houses Many of
these can be adapted to accommodate
an increased number Of occupants, but
there will be a limit on the number
Of persons who can live in q single
dwelling.
r. A. has not decided how many
houses to furnish but is making q
survey to estimate the number of
persons that will bring their own
furniture. If house Is equipped with
furniture resident may buy 1t from
the town corporation at any time and
take it with him If he moves away.
Who Is to live in this Tugwellian
Utopia? Many have come but few
will be chosen. Applications total more
than 5000. Naturally, r. A. Is going
to select the most desirable type of
tenant, men and women of whose
living habits enough can be learned to
stamp them as public-spirited, cleanly,
cooperative and neighborly citizens,
folk who will strive to preserve the
orderliness and the beauty Of indi-
vidual homes and the community at
large.
The basic requisite for living in
Tugwelltown is that the income OF
the prospective dweller be less than
$4,000 annually, for this Is to be q
project for modest-salaried people who
otherwise would be forced to live amid
unattractive surroundings. Many OF
the residents will be Government
clerks. Some may be workmen who
helped built the place. A bricklayer
may find himself surrounded by walls
that are literally his own.
The ultimate cost to the Govern
ment of this idea for an ideal will
approximate $7,400, 900, If present es-
Inmates prove correct. Probably only
a little more than half this amount
will be borne by the tenants, however.
r. A. reasons and figures that resi-
dents should be made to pay only fol
what they get.
One Of Biggest Projects.
In calculating the return that
should be demanded, President Roose-
welt and DR.. Tugwell will take into
account that the cost actually was
greater than was necessary and that
the excess is chargeable to giving men
work and not to be men being given
cut-rate homes. The w. p. A. labor
at work on the projects makes 1t one
of the biggest work-relief undertak-
ings in the country. For this reason,
r. A. believes much Of the cost should
be written on to relief.
At the rate work Is progressing to-
day and barring unforeseen delays
caused by weather, Greenbelt should
have its first residents moved In and
settled by February /.

Sues After Beans Climb.

LYNCHBURG, Va. R.-The but
terbeans in o. H. c. Chambers gar
den are climbing poles and that's why
he sued Charles T. Light, seed mer-
chant, for $34s.50. Chambers claimed
he asked the clerk for bunch beans,
which do not need poles and mature
about two weeks earlier than the pole
beans. The Municipal Court awarded
Chambers $50.

Here is a travelogue of the town
that Rex built-the Greenbelt planned
community of DR.. Rexford G. Tug
wells Resettlement Administration:
The visitor comes first upon large
board sign, swinging from a rustic
cross arm at the side of a white rib
bon Of concrete, the Edmonston road
| This is the border sentinel of 2,100-
| acre site and displays the Resettle-
ment Administration shield and letters
announcing the entrance to Greenbelt
The concrete road yields to clay and
little farther along. about 1214 miles
from downtown Washington. is a
project guard, khaki-clad and pith-
helmeted, operating a hand traffic
semaphore. Five thousand men are
at work in this zone and there Is a
constant procession Of automobiles
and trucks.
Up a side road and the car is left
for a woodland hike through an area
so forested and peaceful that the near
ness of a town for 1000 could not be
guessed. The Indian Summer sun
light casts patterns through the trees,
breeze stirs the foliage, twigs snap
underfoot. The city dweller wonders
that he is not in some remote vaca-
tionland.
Log Fenced Graveyard.
Beside a footpath is rough log
fence, surrounding the unmarked
graves of Revolutionary War soldiers,
and deeper into the woods ahead is a
mound of fresh gravel, the grave of
a transient from Pennsylvania who
died while at work on the project and
was the first to be buried in the plot
that will be the Greenbelt Cemetery.
Some of this region to the southwest
of the town proper is to be picnic
area. There is a spring that Indians
once made a mecca for their medicine
pow-wows and there will be benches
and tables around some trees.
Emerging suddenly from the woods.
the visitor sees 25-acre lake, wooded
shores sloping evenly down to it. One
shore has been cleared and will be
sanded for beach. Tugwelltownsmen
will pay nothing or perhaps nickel
for swimming, boating and fishing
The general public will be admitted
for a small sum. Income from these
fees will go for buying equipment and
| for maintaining force of life guards
and other requisites of a large bath
ing beach.
Colored workmen and power shovel
are grading the dry side of the dam
that formed the lake from q small
| creek. Below this will be another
picnic and recreation site.
Leading to the lake is broad road,
now being prepared for surfacing.
Asphalt will not be poured until other
construction work is virtually COM
| plete, since heavy tractors and trucks
are rumbling along it constantly,
churning the clay into burrows.
The town proper, at this stage, Is
| unQuestionably surprise to q visitor
who may not have seen it for several
months. It is a town that will have
been built in little over q year. Last
Autumn it was a forest and field
Today 1t is a bustling construction
site, many buildings all but finished
Next March it will be a populated
community. Five years hence it may
have 10000 residents.

Mr.. Haddad.

This article is not concerned with
how Mr. Haddad and his partner
reached seven spades. Sufice to say
that the fault was with the North
player and Mr.. Haddad did not over
bid.
The king of hearts was opened.
After one look at the dummy, Mr..
Haddad decided 1t would certainly be
nice to get his partner somewhere
alone on a dark night. His second
thought was to try to make the hand,
which he proceeded to do in the
following manner. Winning the trick
with the ace of hearts in dummy,
he discarded a small club from his
own hand. The club finesse was taken
successfully, the ace Of clubs cashed,
and now Mr.. Haddad led the deuce
of trumps When West played low,
he finessed the nine-spot in dummy
OF course, Mr.. Haddad did have solid
trumps and his f1nesse risked the
loss of an extra trick. but Mr.. Haddad
was trying to make seven, not to
play for down one. and he needed
an extra entry into dummy. The
nine-spot held, and now Mr.. Haddad
led a third club from dummy, ruffed
In his own hand and was delighted
to find that both opponents followed,
thereby establishing his thirteenth
club in dummy. He now led low
trump to dummy's king, dropping both
remaining trumps and discarded his
losing diamond on dummy's remaining
club, thereby fulfilling his grand slam
contract.
Another fine example of retrieving
is the following hand, recently played

President InVOkes JeffersOn's
Spirit to Reanimate Nation

MONTICELLO. CHAR
LOTTESVILLE,' Va, July 4
T.N.SD.-FolloDing is the teTt
of President RooSeveIt'S Inde-
pendence Day address deliUered
today at Monticello, home of
Thomas Jefferson. author of the
Declaration OF independence:
1t was symbolic that
Thomas Jefferson should live
on this mountain top of Month
cello. On a mountain top all
paths units. And Jefferson
was q meeting point Of all
the vital forces Of his day.
There are periods of history
when one man seems great be-
cause those who stand beside
him are small. Jefferson was
great in the presence of many
great and free men. When
we read of the patriots of 1875
and the fathers of the COnSti-
tuition we are taken into the
presence of men who caught
the fire of greatness from one
another and all became ele-
waited above the common run
Of mankind.
STIRRED BY NEW FREEDOM
The source Of their great
ness was the stirring of a new
sense Of freedom. They were
tasting the first fruits of self
government and freedom Of
conscience. They had broken
away from a system of peaSan-
try: from indentured Servitude.
They could build for themselves
a new economic independence.
Theirs were not the gods Of
things as they were, but the
gods Of things as they ought
to be. They used new means
and new models to build new
structures.
OF all these builders of the
Republic it is perhaps generally
conceded that Benjamin Frank.
lin and Thomas Jefferson pos.
SesSed what may be roughly
described as the most fertile
minds. Franklin was stranger
to no science, to no theory Of
philosophy, to no avenue Of in
ventiOn Jefferson had these
qualities in equal part; and with
greater opportunity in the days
of peace which followed the
Revolution, Jefferson was en-
abIed more fully to carry theory
into practice.
Farmer, lawyer, mechanic,
scientist, architect, philosopher,
statesman he encOmpassed the

edge and ideal were fuel to be
used to feed the fires of his own
mind, not just wood to be left
neatly piled in the wood box.
HOME SHOWS PERSONALITY
More than any historic home
in America, Monticello appeals
to me as an expression of the
personality of its builder. In the
design, not alone Of the whole
but of every room and every
part thereof, in the very furnish
ings which Jefferson devised on
his own drawing board and made
in his own shop there speaks
ready capacity for detail and,
above all, creative genius.
He was a great gentleman. He
was a great cOmmOner. The
two are not incompatible.
He applied the culture of the
past to the needs and the life Of
the America of his day. His
knowledge of history Spurred
him to inquire into the reason
and justice of laws, habits and
institutions. His passion for
liberty led him to interpret and
adapt them in order to better
the lot of mankind.
Shortly before taking office as
President of the United States
he wrote to a friend: 81 have
sworn on the altar Of God eter-
nal hostility against every form
of tyranny over the mind Of
man." His life served that con-
secratiOn. Constantly he labOred
to enlarge the freedom of the
human mind and to destroy the
bondage imposed on it by ignOr-
ance, poverty and political and
religious intolerance.
ENTHUSIASM OF YOUTH
On one day in his long life he
gave to the world a declaration
of independence on behalf Of pO-
litical freedom for himself and
his fellow Americans but his dec
laratiOn Of independence for the
human mind was a continuing
achievement, renewed aid re-
iterated every day that he lived.
One hundred and sixty years
have passed since the Fourth of
July, 1776. On that day, Thomas
Jefferson was 33 years old. His
imagination, his enthusiasm
and his energy. the qualities
that youth offers in every gen.
Grafton, were symbolic of that
whole generation Of men, who
not only made a nation in the
wealth Of their imagination and
energy bnh because their yOHth'

full wings had not been clipped,
were able to grow with the ma
ton and guide it in wisdom
throughout their lives.
Through all the intervening
years America has lived and
grown under the system of
government established by JEFF
ferSOn and his generation. AS
nations go, we live under one
Of the oldest continuous forms
of democratic government in
the whole world. In this sense
we are old.
But the world has never had
as much human ability as it
needs, and a modern democracy
in particular needs. above all
things, the continuance Of the
spirit of youth. Our problems
of 1886 calls as greatly for the
continuation of imagination
and energy and capacity for re-
SpOnSibility as did the age of
Thomas Jefferson and his fell
lows.
NEED NOW AS GREAT
Democracy needs now, as it
found then, men developed to
the limit of their capacity,
through education, for ultimate
responsibility. Emergencies and
decisions in our individual and
community and national lives
are the stuff out of which ma
tiOnal character is made. Prep
aratiOn of the mind and the
spirit Of our people for such
emergencies and decisions is the
best available insurance for the
security and development of our
democratic institutions.
Was the spirit of such men as
Jefferson the spirit of golden
age gone now and never to be
repeated in our history? Was
the feeling of fundamental
freedom which lighted the fire
of their ability a miracle we
shall never see again?
That is not my belief 1t IS
not beyond our power to re-hght
that sacred fire. There are not
limitations upon the nations
desire and determination.
On the hillside below where
we stand is the tomb of Thomas
jefferson. He was given many
high offices in State and ma
ton. But the words recorded
about his grave. chosen by him
self, are only these:
Here was buried Thomas JEFF
