Provision was made for an in

Additional air bases are also to

the territory of no nation of the
globe, but we are determined that
this country. its people and it's lib
erty shall be protected by building
up line of national defense that
no nation on earth will dare attack.
This program of national defense is
the greatest insurance against war
that could have been enacted.
These are only a few of the high
lights in the program that has been
adopted in this session of Congress
These alone would justify me in
saying that this has been working

dous amount of remedial, far
reaching and beneficial legislation.

of the Jeffersonian or Democratic

you give the man in the lower in

The best barometers of general

Federal revenues increased nearly

Have they tried to repeal the Sc

is: They have not.

body in the administration admits
that. All the things we tried have
not worked-as we hoped they
would-but we tried and when one
thing has not worked, we have
abandoned it and tried something
else, if it were sound. All in all the
program of the last seven years Is
unmatched by any administration in
this Republic in trying to do some
thing for all the people and espe-
cially the average man.
The officials of the Republican or
ganization have brought forward DR..
Glenn Frank as their head BRAIN
truster and program developer-if
any.
DR.. Frank up to this good hour has
brought forth no settled program,
but has contented himself with the
issuance of statements that can have
no more force than the cryptic gen.
eralities, which they are.
I note my friend, Joe Martin, the
Republican leader of the House,
has issued a statement to the tune
of IA points. I challenge any un-
biased person to say he has enunci-
ated program. Most of the things
he says the Republicans have done
during the last session of Congress
were all reported by Democratic
committees and almost unanimously
supported by Democrats.
In 1888 Franklin D. Roosevelt
came to the presidency and Demo-
Gratis came into control of the Sen
ate as well as the House. Presi-
dent Roosevelt brought hope to a
nation where there was only despair.
He brought action to solve the
problems of the depression, where
there had only been inaction and
bewilderment.
Acted on Social Problems.
Not only did he move to solve
the problems of the depression, but
he furnished leadership to solve
great social problems that had ac-
cumulated in II years of Republican
inaction. You know what that

conserved our soil and turned agri-
culture back on the road to re-

With the aid Of the Federal
Housing Administration, the Home
Owners Loan Corp, the Public

cies, the Reconstruction Finance

firms have been put back on their
feet; homes, schools, bridges, roads,
and dams have been built, and the
material wealth of this Nation has
been increased from the Atlantic
to the Pacific.
I might cite other long overdue
reforms and accomplishments Of the
Roosevelt administration, which the
Republicans will not, and dare not,

dent Roosevelts leadership?
In addition to the many achieve
ments that I have briefly related,
the first session of the Seventy sixth
Congress has done much to perfect
and carry on programs previously
undertaken by this administration.
Our program has been based on
the democratic principle of doing
the greatest good to the greatest
number of our people.
The Republicans have offered no
substitute program except to advo-
cate a return to the old economic
order of giving special privileges to
the favored few at the expense OF
the underprivileged many.
They have not sought to repeal
the permanent and monumental acts
by which the Roosevelt administra-
ton will be judged in time to come.
Have they tried to repeal the
Social Security Act, with its assist

these reforms and accomplishments
are sound and supported by an
overwhelming majority Of our peo-
pie. They will remain as monu-
ments to this administration and
will continue to be administered in
the future no matter what party
may be in power.
There are those who do and will
criticize. Criticism and fault-find-
ing will not satisfy the American
people. What they want and what
they are determined to have is ac-
ton, when action means progress.
In 1889 we stand where we will

nearly 81 per cent ringers.
Pitch Epic Game.
His game with Bill Hamann of
White Plains, N. Y, was a classic
and for combined ringer percentage
possibly a record. Here are the fig
ures on it:

up only 6 points When the score
stood 47-33 in his favor he had
pitched SO per cent. In the next 10
shoes Hamann got points, making
the score 47-33. Then came a lull.
In three pitches each threw one
ringer for no score, but the letup
was short. Both got red hot and for
five straight innings all four shoes
were on the peg. Finally, Hamann
missed with one shoe and Mahoney
stuck or two to win. Seventeen
times during the game Mahoney and
Hamann matched doubles. I never
saw such horseshoe pitching and
may never again."
Three pitchers from this section
