promptu speech before wholly urban
audience describing farm relief as
the greatest American necessity,
Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia of New
York last night virtually served notice
that he has larger-perhaps national
political aspirations.
Mr.. La Guardia, who ascended to
greatly increased prominence last

became the first man ever to defeat
the Democratic machine twice in a
row, appeared before the twenty-f1fth
anniversary dinner of Survey As
sociates, a research organization, with
Gov. Frank Murphy of Michigan,
Prof. Felix Frankfurter and other
nationally known figures.
Almost at the start of his address,
the Mayor brought the presidency into
the consciousness of the audience by
referring obliquely to statement some
time ago by William Allen White,
Kansas editor, to the effect, Mr.. La
Guardia was presidential possibility
I'VE have one man of great dis
