ZAGREB, Yugoslavia, June a
R.-The leader OF the Croat strug-
gle for autonomy. DR.. Vladko Ma
chek, today declared the battle
would be pressed within the Yugo-
slav kingdom with every means at
our disposal"
The Serbs at Belgrade rule us
as a conquered province" he said
in an interview at his farm home
at Kupinec.
DR.. Machek said all new initia-
tive for an agreement on the Croat
demands would have to come from
Belgrade.
I'VE intend to make use of every
recourse we can, to do everything
we can to embarrass the govern
ment and finally. if necessary, We
intend to strike for our freedom -
he declared.
I'm case of European war our
sympathies will be with the democ-
racies but We will act just contrary
to what the government wants.
Whatever it wants to do we will
oppose. We will be on the side
that helps us.
I'VE much prefer to work out our
destinies as an autonomous province
Of the Yugoslav kingdom. We be-
lieve our plans will be best not only
for us but for Serbs and other
nationaiities within the kingdom"
The Croat leader said the Bel
grade government was circulating
false reports that he had conferred
this week with Regent Prince Paul
and reached an agreement salts
factory to both.
He said these reports were an
effort by the government ito
strengthen its position in internal
politics by making it appear to the
world that there are no longer any
internal difficulties with the Croats.' y

HYDE PARK, N. Y, June "a
For two hours today President
Roosevelt brushed aside legislative,
monetary and lending problems to
attend a gay reception which fol-
lowed the marriage of his second
cousin, Margaret Delano, to A. j.
Drexel Paul, jr, of Philadelphia.
Although the President was start
ing a five-day absence from his du-
ties at Washington, he kept close
ly in touch with the Capital. His
chief concern was over legislation to
continue his power to devalue the
dollar further and to maintain the
Treasury's $4,000, ,0O0,0O stabiliza-
ton fund. The present legislation
for both expires Friday, and re-
newal proposals have encountered
formidable obstacles in the Senate.
Measures needed to put a $780,
100000 lending and business aid
program into operation were an
other matter of personal concern.
But today Mr. Roosevelt rested
at his country home. then drove

Mr.. and Mrs. Lyman Delano, the
brides parents.
The Presidents son, Franklin, jr.,
represented the family, as an usher,
at the wedding itself at nearby
Rhinebeck. !
White House officials said there
probably would be a minimum of
ofncial callers during Mr.. Roose-
velt's brief stay at Hyde Park.
The only visitor today was the
Right Rev G.. Ashton Oldham,
Episcopal Bishop of Albany, an old
friend.
Speculation arose whether Clar-
ence A. Dykstra, president of the
University of Wisconsin, who is in
the East, might show up here. Mr..
Dykstra has been mentioned as one
of several under consideration for
the job Of directing the new Fed

We have always felt that these
facts should be gathered together
and placed in the record, not only
for the present, but that the coming
generations may know of the early
history of their home land and com
munity. We are aware that after
this work has gone to the readers
that some of our seniors will say, u
could have told him much more
about that" We are taking oul
time and trying to talk with every
one who has had any chance tc
know of the history of our town
ship, so that we may leave a record
that will be Of value, as well as OF
interest.
Bristol township is square, as
are most of her people. Six times
six making 36 square miles of the
best land the earth contains. We
might say it is next to heaven, and
commit no sccrilege.
Marks showing that the red man
travelled the hills and valleys are
still in evidence. For some reason
they did not make their homes
within present confines of our town
ship, as no evidence of their villages
have been found here. Perhaps
they kept the territory as a game
preserve, as flints, hatchets, and in
fact all the implements Of the IN
iian hunter, have been found here.
