year.
Horner said Dieterich can't win in
the 1888 campaign.
The Governor, issuing statement

whom, il any one, he would back for
the senatorship In the April primary.
The Governors statement was re-
garded as the opening gun In what
has shown signs OF being another Bit

primary next April. Last year Diet
erich and the Chicago Democratic or

Dieterich went to the Senate in 1882
with the support OF the Chicago or

ward j. Kelly and National Commit
teeman Patrick Nash. They have not
indicated what they will do next year.
Political observers have professed to

BY the Associated Press.

by tne ASSOCltteO fIeSS.
PROVIDENCE, r. l., October 16.-
Gov. Robert E. Quinn, in q formal
proclamation. tonight declared "a state
of tnSurrection" existed at Maria
gansett race track and his secretary
indicated National Guardsmen would
prevent opening Of the Fall horse rae
ing season on Monday.
The state of insurrection," the
proclamation asserted, also included
territory mile in all directions from
the palatial race track of Walter E.
OHara, with whom Quinn has been
violently at odds for several weeks.
George Mackie, the Governors
secretary. said the proclamation meant
that troops Of the Rhode Island Ma
tional Guard would be stationed
around the track mot later than
Monday morning."
Even as the chief executive pro-
mulgated his order, workmen labored
to get the track in readiness for tine
opening.
O'Hara, who had been visiting in
New York, arrived in Providence
shortly after the Governor issued his
proclamation, but there was no COM
ment Immediately from him or any OF
his spokesmen.
The proclamation contended that
the danger" Of attendance Of
"gangsters, criminals and persons of
i'll repute." at the Fall meeting will
cause serious breach Of peace" and
result in injury to our citizens" with
which civil authorities would be "ln-
able to cope"
Quinn. in his proclamation. charged
that O'Hara had imported known
criminals" into Rhode Island ito in
timidate public ofdcials' and that he
had caused large numbers of Paw
tucket police to intimidate and pre-
vent public officials from performing
their duties"
The $4,000, 900 racing plant is To-
Gated in Pawtucket.
Earlier Quinn had charged the
Narragansett Racing Association, op-
orators of the track, had failed to file
list of officials 10 days before the
opening Of the meet, as required by
State law. and asserted 1T is now 100
late to comply with that rule"

ROOSEVELT SCANS
BUDGET PROBLEM

ing in Picnic.
By the Associated Press.

HYDE PARK, N. Y, October 16.-
President Roosevelt gave further at
tention to budgetary, foreign and legis-
lative problems today and then, with
relatives and neighbors. spent the aft
ernoon on long drive into the country
that ended with q picnic.
Represented by callers As especially
desirous Of achieving an equalization
OF Treasury income and outgo, he
was expected to give this question a
prominent place on his conference
agenda when he returns to Washington
the middle Of next week.
Impounding May Help.
The $4l8.000. 900 deficit forecast last
April for the current fiscal year may be
offset somewhat by the impounding
of 10 per cent Of departmental ap-
preparations, but some officials are
wondering what effect the recent stock
market decline and consequent drop
in earnings may have on prior revenue
estimates.
Revised budget figures may be pub
lished next week. The President
said several times on his Western trip
he expected definitely" to have 4
balanced budget by the next fiscal year.
1t was not made plain, however,
whether this meant by the start
July 1, 1938-or the end-June 80,
1939-of the new fiscal period.
The President continued to inform
himself Of the Far Eastern and Euro
pean situations through contact with
the State Department during the day.
Treaty Situation UNCHANGED.
There was nothing to add here to his
statement Of yesterday that the first
step Of the coming nine-power treaty
conference would be a collective at
tempt to mediate the undeclared war
on Chinese soil.
Special session legislation and
official mail figured in the Presidents
fourth work day on his current visit
to the temporary White House. Ofiicials
said he had no callers before starting
out on the picnic with his mother,
Mrs. James Roosevelt, r.; a daughter
in-law and friends and neighbors.
A quiet week end was planned, with
the family attending services tomor-
row at st. James Episcopal Church
here.

celebrated In 1928 Because American
funds helped to restore the city. the
late Ambassador Myron T. Herrick

NEW DEVICE LANDS
PLANES IN STORM
With 1t Pilot Can Bring Ship
Down in Conditions Haz-
ardous for a Bird.
BY DEVON FRANCIS,


NEW YORK, October l6-A device
for landing airplanes under weather
conditions hazardous even for birds
soon will be installed experimentally at
four Of Americas key airports.
1t is described as so perfect that
pilot can bring an airplane down on an
airport in binding snowstorm or in
a fog which blots out all visibility.
The product of seven years of re-
search by Government agencies, pri-
vate laboratories and airlines, this
instrument landing system will not be
put into general use until approval is
granted by the Bureau Of Air Com
merce, but an agreement for the ex-
perimental installation has just been
signed.
A system has been devised by the
Washington Institute of Technology
which has the added advantage of
portability.
In operation, the system works in
this fashion:
The incoming pilot intending to
land at a port where conditions are
"zero-zero"-no ceiling and no visi-
bility-works out his routine orienta-
tion problem to determine his posi-
ton. Then he picks up a 'localizer"
radio beam which sharply defines q
horizontal path Of approach to the
field runway he is to use.
About 8 miles from the field he
crosses marker" radio beacon which,
shooting radio signals skyward at right
angles to his line of flight, apprises
him Of his distance from the runway.
A minute or two later he crosses q
second marker" beacon at the edge
of the field.
Meanwhile he has located and is
following another radio glide-path
downward. This path Is an ingenious
line Of radio signals which curves
much the same as string to kite
1t flattens out on the surface of the
airport. Following it, the pilot can
feel his wheels touch a runway OBJ
scured by snow or fog.
The radio signals the pilot receives
from the marker. localizer and glide
path stations can be either visual on
his instrument board, auditory in his
earphones, or both.
The system differs considerably from
the recently announced, wholly auto
matte device developed by the Army
Air Corps. The commercial system
utilizes ultra high frequency radio
waves, As against the Armys long
waves.
The commercial device originally
was conceived by the Bureau of
Standards.

The Normandie, full of his enc

Emil Ludwig, President Roosevelt's

ject which promises, from present in
dications, to retain It's vitality for
historians Of the future. Ludwig,
however, makes no pretense at proph-
ecy.
How can say?" he asked report

Europe Watches Roosevelt.
The final act, it is important also.
The applause Of the future cannot be
determined by few, but by all Of
the acts. In Europe today Mr.. Roose-
welt is the greatest American since
President Wilson. His speeches, espe-
cially the one in Chicago, are events
across the Atlantic.

men and women, but among the COM

ent story. He Is much discussed

know more of this wealthy man who
is the champion Of the poor.
In my book, which will be more
Of romance. less Of politics, will try
to show the mind Of this aristocrat
who lights for the masses. I wish to
compare the Roosevelts, Franklin and
Theodore, and I have tried to sketch
the White House and all the people
In It,"
