President Roosevelt, who told
the nation in his inaugural ad-
dress he was still pursuing a solu-
ton of the problems of Americas
underprivileged, has another def
mite objective in the next four
years upon which he failed to
touch publicly.
That is the political education
of his eldest son, James.
Those close to the White House
agreed today that the President
was printing his 29-year-old son to
carry on the Roosevelt name in
the world of politics.
To this end James Roosevelt has
been brought to Washington as a
third member of the White
House Secretariat and installed in
one of the three big Secretarial
offices-even though his commits
sion does not become officially
effective until July l when the
next budget begins.
Mr.. Roosevelt has told callers
that his eldest son has a distinct
political flair which he wishes to
encourage and develop.
James Roosevelt today is oc-
cupying the office that Secretary
Stephen T. Early held before he

lmoved into the quarters Of the
late Louis McHenry Howe, first
political secretary Of the Roose-
welt regime.
Already, in the comparatively
few days he has been behind a
White House desk, the younger
Roosevelt has been forced to re-
ceive steady stream of visitors.
Senators. Representatives. Govern.
ment officials, and others with
propositions to lay before the
President, Secretary Marvin H.
Mcintyre or Early have been beat
ing a path to his door to pay
respects"-and, according to re-
ports, quite incidentally to men
ton the real purpose of their
White House call.
Some of the older New Deal
politicians peSSimiStiCally fear
James Roosevelt will stub his toe
politically before long. They re
call his lack of success in becoming
a factor in Massachusetts,, where
he tied himself to the faction of
Ex-Governor James M. Curley, de-
feated in last November'S election
for the Senate by young Republi-
can Henry Cabot Lodge.
To such suggestions the Presi-
dent is said to have replied that
these pessimists still carry the
marks of stone bruises they ac-
quired on the upward path of po-
litical knowledge.

JAPANESE DIET

session for only a day, sittings OF
the Imperial Diet were suspended
for three days this afternoon.
The House Of Peers listened to
Premier Koki Hirota's ministerial
declarations in dead silence, but
the lower house laughed and
jeered in opposition.
Hirota angrily vacated the ros-
trum and Immediately obtained
imperial sanction to suspend the
session.
Japan's implacable detemina-
ton to fight communism and to
ENSURE the stability of East Asia
was reaffirmed by Foreign Minis
ter Hachiro Arita in opening the
diet meeting.
Owing to activities of the Com
munist International, he said, 1.-The
international political situation
seems to be growing worse than
ever" He pointed to communist
activities in China. and attacked
China's anti-Japanese attitude.
He added:
"Japan's relations with the
United tateS are of late happily
improving, owing, l believe, as
we'll to our consistent policy of
contributing, in cooperation with
that power. the maintenance of
peace in the Pacific, as to a
deeper understanding on the part
of the American people regard
ing the situation in East Asia"
DisavoWing any japanese desire
to initiate a naval construction
race, Arita said:
The japanese government will
continue to spare no efforts in
the cultivation and improve
ment of the cordial relations ex.
isting with the United States"
While the foreign minister was
uttering his friendly words, the
army distributed 10000 pamphlets
calling for a seven-year army eX-
pansion program to cost S392,000,-
600. The pamphlet charged
"The United States, which
wishes to control the Pacific and

market. has been speedily

Peace Talk with Utilities

r ESTRICTION of the construc.
IN ton and expansion activities of
the privately owned public utilities
being recognized as an important
factor in the current business re-
cession, President Roosevelt began
a series of conferences with the
heads of these concerns. He seemed
to be in a conciliatory frame of
mind and sought to lessen the utili-
ties fear of the effect of govern
ment policies, but without making
any concessions. His first caller
was Wendell Wilkie, president of the
Commonwealth & Southern corpora
ton, and next day he talked with
Floyd Carlisle of the Niagara Hud-
son Power corporation.
Though he appeared amiable, the
President at the same time was
sending to various congressional
committees and federal agencies a
report by the New York state power
authority, whacking friends and
agents of the private utilities for
propaganda" against public power
development. 1t presented figures
to show the government could pro-
duce water power at much lower
cost than private utilities could pro-
duce power by steam plants.
It was understood Mr.. Wilkie SUBJ
mitted these points:
That there is a general fear
throughout the country of govern
ment competition and interference
with private utilities which can be
subdued only by concrete reassur-
ance from the administration.
That money for private expan-
sion purposes and refnancing to OBJ
tain lower interest rates, which in
turn would be reflected in lower
power rates, is hard to obtain.
That the government had right
! to sell power from its dams, but a
basis for marketing it could be
found without frightening the whole
industry.

For instance, the check damper
may be placed wrong; the turn
damper may be out of position;
the regulator may need adjust
ment; there may be caked SCOT in
the smoke-pipe or on the heating
surfaces; radiators may be
wrongly pitched; draft may be
partially choked; a loose bolt or a
rusty joint may be wasting heat.
Those are just few of the COM
mon things that can keep fur
mace from delivering enough heat.

Of course, there were more digni-

there were down in the basement,
where Princeton's great HOBBY Bak-

Jimmy Johnston brought Jem
Drisc0ll and Owen Moran here first
to astOund local fight fans with their
skill and speed. GunbOat Smith, in
his debut at st. Nicks, hit his Op-
ponent so hard that the fellows

air.
Abe Attell used to come here.
Stand with the gambling gentry in
the back and wager all the hobs he
could on himself. After hasty visit
to the dressing room, rush into the
ring and give one of his greatest
exhibitions.
Willie Jackson fought here. Life
has not been entirely kind to Willie.
He gets in on Annie Oakleys now
when he visits fight clubs. But once
he drew over SIG, 900 against Johnny
Dundee at this club.
A guy had to be good to draw
that kind of money. But good ones
were always fighting at the St

Joe Louis, got his start here. Sc
