Later. after looking down upon
the drenched throng Of visitors,
Mr.. Roosevelt decided to become
one of them. He had ridden to

He rode back TO the white house

Mr.. Roosevelt swiftly traced the

ing the first things were done

route of special privilege. A feel

that private autocratic powers

that this legend was shattered in

holiday" he asserted, contending
"the constitution of 1887 did not
make our democracy impotent.
Mr.. Roosevelt cautioned the
nation to scrutinize signs of re-
turning prosperity closely. Symp-
toms such as "dulled conscience,
responsibility an druthless self
interest" already are appearing
and these, he said, may become
"portents of disaster" and present
stern tests of the persistence Of
our progressive purpose"
The real challenge TO democracy
today, he continued, are the mil
lions of under-fed, poorly-houscd

tunates the president promised u

The president remained indoors
with his son, James.
Then the plans which the inau-
gural committee had worked on
for weeks collapsed. The hands
of the clock spelled noon-the
hour Garner was to take oath.
Exits to the capitol were blocked
by drenched humans. Mrs. Roose-
Welt moved about on the platform
seeking a seat for neglected

little wonder they remain silent!
The only action of the Federation
bearing directly on the red rider was
in the appointment of the Special
Committee and in the adoption of the
resolution that the red rider should
not be repealed until, etc. Since
everybody seems to be seeking to
avoid the blame of responsibility for
the red rider. why not make repeating
action unanimous?
The federation can, in line with its
previous action, decide that the time
has come to repeal the red rider and
to prepare for the substantive law
a simple unambiguous declaration
against the advocacy Of communism
in the public schools.
As a member of the Federation OF

W|NDSOR'S SISTER
LEAVES TO AID HIM
Princess Royal Mary Goes
to EnzesfeId-Duke Plans
Wedding April II.
By the Associated Press.

ny tilc 6ooOCldlCu
LONDON, February 6.-The Duke
of Windsor's sister, the Princess Royal
Mary, received last-minute advice be-
fore her departure today foi Enzes-
field on a secret mission to help the
abdicated monarch solve his financial
problems.
Princess Mary, accompanied by her
husband, the Earl of Harewood, also
was believed to have been intrusted
by the government with the delicate
mission Of putting the dukes exile on
more stable and even quieter basis.
Edward was described in author1-
tative reports from Enzesfeld as anx-
ious to complete the financial settle
ment-either from the national treas
ury or the royal income-aS he plans
to wed Mrs. Wallis Si.npson April 81,
the day it is now expected her divorce
will become final.
Want to Wind Up Affair.
Government officials, it was said,
were anxious to wind up the final
phases of the abdication so not even
a hint of "the King across the waters"
would be raised during the coronation
celebration in May of his brother,
George vi.
The Princess Royal dined at Marl-
borough House last night with her
mother, Queen Mary, and received
whatever last-minute instructions the
queen mother had for her son.
Queen Mary, aside from her gen.
uine love for her son, was said to be
perturbed, with others in court cir
cles, lest former King Edward VIII
appear either like a family outcaSt or
useless drain on the national or
royal purse which he once admin
iStered.
One of the points the ex-King's sis
ter was expected to discuss was the
sale of Edwards private estate Of
Sandringham, which Edwar VII, his
grandfather. built for S1,500,000.
Wants S75O,0O0 for Estate.
Windsor, who never has liked the
estate left him personally by George
v, was reported to want S750,000 for
it. while his mother and King George
said to feel they could not pay more
than S500,000.
In addition to bills and pre-abdi-
cation debts, the duke is keeping up
the Rothschild chateau near Vienna,
where he is living at a cost of more
than $4,000 a year. Parliamentary
opposition to granting him a sl25,-
900 annual allowance was reported
developing.
Removal of the Scotland Yard de-
tectives from Mrs. Simpsons villa Of
refuge at Cannes. France. was taken
as evidence of the government. in
terest in winding up the aftermath
Of the crucial battle baWeen constitu-
ton and love and that the Kings proc
tor would not interfere in making her
divorce absolute.

Corporation Counsel Prettyman held
specifically that teaching" and "ad-
vocating" are used anonymously Ito
teach," meaning ''to advocate" and
that such law did not prevent factual
instruction, but permitted teachers to
teach all about Russia and all about
communism so long as they did not
advocate it. Their silent treatment"
is self-imposed. General McCarl did
not require it. But this law and his
signed statement" prevents any
teacher from advocating communism
without being subject to prosecution
for obtaining money under false
pretenses. My duty and responsible
ity in the matter has ceased. What
