Gated at a press conference late
yesterday that the United States

He observed that some news

Qualities.
Concerning domestic affairs, the
president defended the right Of
those on relief to vote.
In press conference before
entraining for Rochester, Mimi,
and the bedside of his i'll son,
James, the chief executive re-
ferred to the determination of a
group Of New Jersey women to
deny suffrage to those receiving
public aid, and observed perhaps
the next step would be for a SIM
liar group to urge the ballot be
reserved solely for those with col

According to J. II. Wright, the
apple trees in the old Toms or

blooming again. To back his
statement, Mr.. Wright brought a

He stated that d number of the
trees were in bloom, the matured
apples and blossoms being on the
same trees.
According to Noah HollOwell,
recognized in certain quarters as
an apple expert, it is very unusual
for apple trees to bloom twice III
a single season. Although, he
says, we used to have tree that

Harry Hopkins assertion that 90
per cent of Federal relief recipients
favor the Roosevelt administration
aroused today a Republican cry of
launching the Roosevelt third-term
movement"
The w. P. A. administrator told re-
porters yesterday the reason for the
relief workers attitude was that
We're the only crowd that has any,
thing constructive to offer"
John Hamilton, Republican national
chairman, Immediately called his re-
marks evidence of an effort by the
Roosevelt administration to "perpetu-
ate itself in power" Chairman Shap-
pard, Democrat, of Texas, of the Sem
at Campaign Investigating Committee
said he would study the matter.
Meanwhile. it was learned that
Joseph B. keenan,, an assistant to the
Attorney General, had made cryraic
references to third term possibilities
during a speech at Virginia political
rally.
Much Loose Talk"
There is much loose comment to-
day concerning candidates for the
presidency" said Mr.. keenan,, one of
the administration political counsel
lors
From time to time the question is
asked will so-and-so seek Office or
attempt to succeed himself? 1t seems
to me that this is thinking in reverse.
Individuals do not choose to be Presi-
dent of the United States. Presidents
are chosen by the people"
Questions about third term for
Mr.. Roosevelt were put to Mr. Hopkins
at a press conference. He turned
them aside.
Mr. Hamilton, however, asserted Mr..
presidential race in his general state
ments about w. P. A. voters.
IF Mr.. Hopkins did not have in
the back of his mind an intention to
promote Mr. Roosevelt for third
term" Mr. Hamilton said, why did
he make such a statement?
In view of this development rea-
sons become clearer for the constant
increase of the Federal relief rolls
now reaching new high record-and
the failure of the Roosevelt admins
tration to take steps to stimulate pri-
vate industry.
Obviously the Roosevelt admins
tration is seeking to perpetuate itself
in power through the use of relief

GROUP DISSOLVED
Association, 40 Years Old,
Turns Over 100000
Fund to G. w. u.

Permission for dissolution of the
George Washington Memorial Asso-
citation, incorporated 40 years ago to
aid in increasing opportunities for
higher education in the Capital, was
granted today by District Court JUS
tice Oscar R. Luhring. who acted on
a petition of the organization's trustees.
The dissolution enables the associa-
ton to turn over its permanent fund,
totaling in excess of 100000, to
George Washington University.
In granting a final decree, Justice
Luhring authorized Corcoran Thom
president of the American Security
& Trust Co. and trustee of the asso-
citation. to pay all costs of the pro-
ceedings out of the associations funds.
= The costs include counsel fees of
$l7,500 to Archie K. Shipe, attorney
for the association: $4,000 to McKen-
ney, Flannery & Craighill, attorneys
for Mr.. Thorn. and $4,000 to Clephane,

The association was incorporated
September Is. 1898, Ito aid in secur-
ing in the City of Washington the
increase of opportunities for higher
education, as recommended by George
Washington" -
Many persons throughout the coun-
try were taken in as members Con-
tributions, sometimes as small as 10
cents, raised the groups treasury ac-
count to more than S500,000. and an
additional 100000 in income from
investments increased its resources to
upward of 100000, of which approxi-
mately 100000 has been spent.
Congress in 1918 granted the asso-
citation a tract of land between Sixth
and Seventh streets NV. for erection
OF a memorial to Gen. Washington
Work on the pretentious structure was
started eight years later, but subse-
quently abandoned.
Land Now Gallery Site.
Because of the failure of the asso-
citation to build memorial. Congress
took back the land and granted it to
the Smithsonian Institution. The Ma
tional Art Gallery, made possible by
the late Andrew w. Mellon, now is
being erected there.
In their petition. the trustees said
they decided to turn over the associa-
tion's funds to George Washington
University because of "the character
and high standing OF its scholastic
work, because of its location in the
National Capital and because said
university bears the name OF George
Washington"
The gift, they said, will best fulfill
the desires of the contributors of the
funds for a suitable memorial to
George Washington
The Board of Trustees of the uni
versity already have authorized it to
accept the gift.
