THE text of President Roosevelt,
address. made by radio last nigh
in connection with the birthday ami
versary balls, follows:
My friends:
My heart goes out in gratitude to
the whole American people to-
night-for We have found common
cause in presenting a solid front
against an insidious but deadly
enemy, the scourge of infantile
paralysis.
It is a very glorious thing for
us TO think of what has been ac-
complished in our own lifetime to
cure epidemic diseases, to relieve
human suffering and to save lives.
1t was by united effort on a ma
tional scale that tuberculosis has
been brought under control: it
was by united effort on a national
scale that smallpox and diphtheria
have been almost eliminated as
dread diseases.
Today the major fight of medi-
cine and science is being directed
against two other scourges, the
toll OF which is unthinkably great
cancer and infantile paralysis. In
both fields the fight is again being
conducted with national unity
and we believe with growing sue
cess.
Tonight. because Of your splen-
did help, we are making it pos
sible to unite all the forces against
one OF these plaques by starting
the work Of the new National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis
The dollars and dimes contributed
tonight and in the continuing
campaign will be turned over to
this new foundation, which will
marshal its forces for the ameliora-
ton of suffering and Gripping
among infantile paralysis victims
wherever they are found. The
whole country remains the field
Of work. We expect through scien-
tiflc research, through epidemic
first aid, through dissemination Of
knowledge of care and treatment,
through the provision OF funds to
centers where the disease may be
combated through the most en-
llghtened method and practice to
help men and women and espe-
cially children in every part Of
the land.
Since the first birthday celebra-
tions in 1884, many splendid re-
suits have been accomplished so
that in literally hundreds of locali-
ties facilities for combating the

FARM AID LIMITS
SET BY CONFEREES
Big Benefit Payments to Be
Cut, Small Growers Will
Get More.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senate and House conferees of the
farm bill said yesterday they had
agreed to limit large benefit payments
and increase the size of checks to
small farmers.
An original proposal to make
$4,000 annually the top figure was
modified. the conferees said, so indi-
v1duals and partnerships farming in
several States receive this amount for
complying with the Federal farm pro-
gram In each State.
However. a corporation could not
receive more than $4,000 for COM
pliance throughout the country.
The provisions agreed on would
apply to producers Of major crops
other than sugar. Benefits for sugar
growers are controlled by separate
existing legislation.
Small Checks to Be Stopped.
Senator Pope, Democrat, of Idaho
said the payment limitation probably
would reduce Government checks to
from so to 100 larger landowners, 4"
including many insurance corpora
tions.
He said the increase in checks to
small farmers would be financed by
using 10 per cent of available benefit
funds for this purpose. Since $780,
100000 is expected to be available
this year. Senator Pope said. S5O,O00.-
900 would be used to step up checks
under 5000.
He said farmers who otherwise
would receive $40 or less would get
an automatic increase of So; those
otherwise receiving $40 to $40 would
get $l2 additional; those in the $40
to $50 class an increase of $12 plus
10 per cent Of the payment above $40;
those from $50 to $186, q fiat increase
OF $l4, and those from $186 to 5000
enough to bring the sum to an even
5000.
Farm Committees to Be Elected.
Agreement also was reported on
creation of farmer committees for
administration of the program.
Under the agreement, county farm
committees. charged with allocating
acreage and paying out benefits, would
be elected by all farmers of the
county.
State farmer committees, operating
programs within the States, would be
appointed by the Secretary of Agri-
culture from names suggested by
county groups.
The conferees agreed to work to-
day in an effort to complete adjust
ment of differences between the sep
arate farm bills passed by the House
and Senate during the special session
Of Congress.

GREEK REVOLT RUMOR

Is Untrue.


Reports from Vienna of a revolu-

by Nicholas G. Lely, counselor of the
Greek Legation, who gave out this
message received from the Athens
News Agency:
"As news concerning Greece con-
tinues to be circulated in certain for
eign newspapers despite formal COM
munique of the Athens News Agency,
we deny categorically all rumors about
alleged sensational events. It is un-
true that the most rigorous form has
been impaired to the regime which in
no way has swerved from the plan
initiated by the change of August
4, 1896.
Some politicians, not more than
IS in number. having tried to disturb
the peace OF the country by distribut-
ing subversive pamphlets, were sent
to the 1onian and Aegean Islands, to
the general satisfaction of the popu-
lation among which reigns perfect
calm."
