Speech-a-Day Basis
Mr.. Roosevelt was operating on
"speech-a-day" basis, although not
all addresses could be classed as
political. His voice will be on the
national networks every night this
week-and again on Monday night

spoke in Madison Square Garden,
New York City. He launched the
national CONSUMPTION lottery yester-
day with nationwide speech. He

Brooklyn Academy of Music, Satur-
day night at Public Hall, Cleveland,
and Monday night in an 18th hour
address from his Hyde Park, N. Y,
home.
Mr.. Roosevelt's train today takes
him along the same general route

the greatest acclaim of his political
career. Beginning at New Haven
this morning he visits Wallingford,
Meriden, New Britain Junction and
Hartford, Conn, and Springfield,
Worcester, birmingham and Bos-
ton, Mass.
At Hartford and Springfield, he
will combine the political swing
paid for by the Democratic Nation
al Committee-with defense inspec-
tons. His schedule calls for an
hours halt in Hartford, where he
will motor to plants of the United
Aircraft Corporation where the ma
tional defense production has
jumped employment from 5000 to
10000 workers in less than two
years.
Continuing his motor swing from
Hartford, he will drive to Spring.

sudden impulse TO attack Beall.
He crashed BeallS head with the
hammer, left him lying in an up
stairs bedroom, and critically blud-
geoned Beall's wife in the cellar,
before escaping in the Bean car.
The crime was not discovered I'M
til about two hours after it occurred.
Supt. George c. Erskine, Of the
Cheshire reformatory, said that
when Beall failed to report at the
institution at 4 o'clock, an official
was sent to his home, which he
found locked. He was about to leave,
police said, when Mrs. Beall
screamed. He then forced his way
into the house and found the wom-
an lying on the basement floor and
her husband on the floor Of the bed
room.
Victim Dying When Found
Beall was unconscious, but still
breathing. He died en- route to st.
Mary's hospital. Death was attrib-
uted to fractured skull by Medical
Examiner Edward H. Kirschbaum.
Mrs. Beall, who also suffered a
fractured skull. extreme shock, and
severe body bruises, was given a
blood TRANSMISSION as soon as she
reached the hospital. The serious
ness of her wounds indicated she
might die.
The Beall cottage was immediate
ly surrounded by state police un-
der the direction of Comsr. Edward
j. Hickey. Both the commissioner
and Lieut.. Leo Schatzman, of the
Beacon Falls barracks, were at New
Haven today in charge of the detail
for President Roosevelt, and thus
were not available for comment on
the murder. Coroner Hennessy, how
ever, began to grill the prisoner
early this morning.

to be in great confusion, testifying

WAR DEPT.
OFFICES AFIRE
Continued from Page ~

The new additions are fourth
floors to the three story building
built during the World War. They
were not completed.
In Army Code Room
The fire broke out in the wing
housing the army's code room and
spread quickly to two other wings.
For a time it was feared that the
code room had been damaged, but
Gen. George C. Marshall, army
chief of staff, announced that an
inspection after the fire was
brought under control revealed that
there had been neither fire nor wa
ter damage in that section.
Marshall had on idea what caused
the fire. He said he would appoint
a board to make complete inves-
tigation" Immediately.
All available fire equipment in
the city and many companies from
nearby Maryland and Virginia were
called out. When Marshall arrived
he ordered 500 soldiers from nearby
Fort Myer to the scene to guard the
building.
The building is on Constitution
avenue, only a few blocks from the
departmental auditorium where the
last of the draft lottery numbers
were being drawn when the fire
started. 1t is only two blocks from
the south grounds of the White
House.
Operates On Schedule
The war department will operate
on schedule today despite the fire.
There will be no disruption of the
work of the 5000 employees in the
building not an hours lost time on
the defense program, Marshall said.
The fire was discovered a few
minutes after a. M, by building
guard Thomas Tibbets. When the
first firt fighting equipment arrived
flames were shooting high into the
air and the fire was spreading rap
idly over newly-tarred roofs of yet
uncompleted additions to the build
ing.
Hundreds of spectators damned
the streets and it was one and one
half hours before fire chief Glenn

Mr.. Roosevelt's weather luck,
which had held perfectly during
nine national defense inspection
tours and political swings since ear
" last August, finally broke as he
swung into New England. Rain
was falling as his train made its
first stop at New Haven, and a
heavy overcast indicated that his
train and motor car would run
through rain as far as Boston.
Democratic leaders heading up
the fight to carry Connecticut for
the third term boarded the presi-
dental special at New Haven. They
included Senator Francis T. Ma
loney: Robert Hurley, Democratic
gubenatorial nominee; Mayor John
W. Murphy of New Haven; State
Democratic Chairman John Nc

give his blessing to Sen. Maloney,
who is seeking reelection.

Most of the fire damage was con-
fined to the third floor and the un-
completed fourth floor addition to
the third wing of the building. The
second and fourth wings were dam
aged by fire on the top floor. All
floors in those tree wings suffered
heavy damage by water. Three feet
OF water was standing in some sec
tons of the third floor and slowly
seeping down. Among the depart
ments in the damaged section were
the army air corps Intelligence Sec
ton.
Soldiers Around Building
Soldiers who were brought to the
scene in army trucks surrounded the
building and kept all spectators
away. Maj. Edward French, chief
OF the army code room, arrived in
few minutes after the alarm was
sounded. He was unable to get into
the code room because of dense
smoke. Marshall praised him later
for having ordered guards stationed
at all entrances to the room to pre-
vent any pilfering.
Marshall revealed that ever since
the construction of an addition to
the building started several weeks
ago there have been innumerable
awning fires daily. One day last
week, he said, eight awning blazes
were put out before noon.
He also revealed that very strin-
gent rules were about to be put into
effect regarding persons who use
the war departments building and
a similar building next door of the
navy department. The navy already
has approved the regulations and
the army was waiting only an adj
vantageous time to do so. He said
that that time has come.
All employees and military at
taches of foreign embassies, report
ers or anyone else using the building
regularly will be required to wear
button with their pictures on it.
Others will have to register at
main receiving office and be accom-
panied during their visit.
Built During World War
The buildings were built during
the World War to house the mu-
nitions and war industries boards
and have been known since then as
the munitions buildings. Since the
war, however, they have been used
as offices for the war and navy de-
partments.
Among the offices in the building
are those of the Secretary of War
Henry L. Stimson and his staff.
They were in a wing away from the
fire. Stimson was notified at his
home but did not come downtown.
BY dawn it was determined that
the new top floor addition to wing
No. was completely Quilted. The
addition was being built to house
the expanded war and national de-
Tense stats.
The fire was fed by rolls of tar pa
per and stacks of lumber being used
in the construction work which has
not been completed.

tainly they hope to get something
out of it. Nobody, of course, has &C
cused the Republican candidate of
being a Communist, Fascist, or
otherwise cast any doubt on his
Americanism. But the eargerness of
his campaign managers to accept
support from any source however
tainted is a phenmena of THE cam
paign."
Most of the subversive elements
in this country are supporting VIII
lk1e," Flynn continued in simplifying
his statement. None of them will
support Mr.. Roosevelt and we don't
want them. The Nazi-Facist press
has been vigorously attacking the
President, but notice it has not at
tackled Willkie."
Flynn said that typical tactic of
the Republican campaign "are the
groups of men and women who are
touring the country, ringing door,
bells and trying to terrify mothers
with the story that President Roose-
welt means to hustle the boys into
a war"
Willkie PussyfOoting
"Mr. Willkie has declared himself
heartily in favor of the CONSUMPTION
of the boys though he has shuffled
and pussyfooted regarding conscrip-
ton of industrial plants, should that
become necessary" Flynn said. HE
knows, despite his efforts to picture
Mr.. Roosevelt as war monger' that
the President has been the foremost
exponent of peace in the nation and
that the draft is merely a requisite
OF the preparedness program, the
necessity for which neither the Re-
publican nor his legitimate or IL
legitimate spokesman have ventured
to question. Part of his campaign is
the effort to attribute the delay in
preparedness to the President, al
though every preparedness move ne
made up to very recently was fought

publicanS in both Houses"
