House, it was learned that Chair
man John O'Connor of the house
rules committee, was next on the
condemnation list. 1t has been
limited that the president would
ask at today's press conference to
have him replaced with a 100 per
cent New Dealer.
Because he did not mention the
Maryland contest in his social Sc
curity address, official sources ex-
pected the President to make a
more definite bid later in behalf of
Lewis.
Mr.. Roosevelt made clear his
attitude toward political conserva-
tives in last nights address with
the assertion that a reactionary
administration or a "do-nothing"
congress in recent years would have
left social security "a beautiful
dream which might come true in
the dim distant future"
To Broaden Act
He made it appear virtually GER
tain, too, that broadening of the
Social Security act to include groups
not now protected would be on
his list of must" legislation for
the next congress.
Immediately upon conclusion of
the Presidents speech, Lewis be-
gan radio address on a Maryland
network. He spoke from a room in
the hotel where high government
officials were celebrating the ami
versary of Social Security and had
listened to Mr.. Roosevelt who spoke
from the White House.
AS if picking up where the Pres
ident left off, the 69-year-old for
mer coal miner told a Maryland
audience, which did not have to
turn a dial to hear him, that Tyd-
ings had voted present" when the
senate roll was called on the Social
Security bill.
And what does a Democratic
member of congress in particular
owe his party and his country"
he asked, rs it not to cooperate
with his party and with its leader,
the President, in meeting the
pledges in relationship to those
problems contained in the Demo-
cratic platform?
TO all his defaults as a demo-
crat in the senate, Mr.. Tydings
answers, I voted according to my
conscience I ask the question, was
it a Democratic or a Republican
conscience"

room he shouldn't have. There was
a grinding tear, and RR's pajamas
parted company with RR's person,
which by then was going the other
way fast.
BY this time RR was a bit warm
er than before. In few more min

plished-that is, the cooler had
been shut off. But still the cold
continued. And not until then did
RR realize that, actually, the
weather itself was like that. 1t

That left RR in quandry,
which was solved in typically fem

assigned to guard the United States
from invasion. got under way.
Maj. Gen. Frank M. Andrews, COM
mandant of the force and head UNI
pire Of the maneuvers, informed the
commanders Of his three wings" that
the "blacks"-a mythical coalition OF
European and Asiatic power+had
gained footholds at Kitty Hawk. N. c.,
and on an island of Maine, S miles
southwest of Boothbay Harbor
There, he informed his men, the
imaginary infantrymen were estab-
fishing landing fields for the hun
dreds OF planes expected to be
launched from black aircraft carriers
with more troops.
Airports Bombed.
Simultaneously the enemy theoret-
ically bombed the airports at Provi-
dence, r. I, and Boston. The Provi-
dence Airport was supposedly badly
damaged. not only by the bombs, but
by the destruction in midair Of an
enemy bomber which. Gen. Andrews
asserted, had been shot down by the
blue" defenders directly over the
port, crashing in flames among the
hangers.
Another black bomber was "shot
down" at New London, Conn.,, but the
fleet Of six make-believe bombers
which attacked Boston escaped I'M
scathed.
The defenders were warned that
fleet OF enemy bombers was headed
inland and expected to attack Lam
caster, Pa, before noon. Blue" at
tack planes took of to high attitudes
IN an effort to contact the fleet and
drive 1t of.

ing the coast from Europe. Three Boz
ing flying fortresses" took off from
Mitchell Field, Long Island, at $50
am. for q reconnaissance patrol 300
miles to sea in an effort to locate the
fleet and report its whereabouts.
The BLACK" forces consist not only
OF the European power about to launch
an attack, but also Of two other ma
tions-one in Europe and another in
Asia. The Far Eastern power stra-
logically is feinting toward Hawaii to
hold the Blue naval forces in that
area.
