LOOKING TO FUTURE,
PRESIDENT DECLARES

BOISE, Ida, Sept. %. (UP)-
In a reference which some thought
concerned the controversy raging
about Supreme Court Justice Hugo
l.. Black, President Roosevelt told
Boise residents yesterday that he
was thinking more of the future
than "of the petty quarrels and
disputes of the moment"
In his address before 5000 per-
sons, the president complimented
both Idaho senators, Jas. p. Pope,
Democrat, and William E. Borah,
Republican.
A presidents obligation, he said,
is to look into the future.
"A president has an obligation
70 think of the days when he no
longer will be president" he SAID,
"to think of the future and about
the next generation, instead of the
petty quarrels and disputes Of the
moment.
81 am trying to think about the
bigger detectives of American life
of planning how to make a bet
ter America for the children and
the next generations to come"
He said he was looking toward
better use of water and timber re-
sources, greater agricultural pros
perity, and coordination of indus
try and wider distribution OF the
control of industrial activity.
The country for $50 years, he
said, has wasted natural resources,
and sometimes human resources.
He said he would like to take
away from Boise a memory OF It's
children and tree-lined streets and
a renewed understanding of a
