Preparations Indicate
Significant Speech
By Roosevelt Tonight
Young Democratic Clubs
To Hear Short, Sweet
And to the Point Talk
By JOHN c. HENRY.
Star Stan Correspondent.

WARM SPRINGS, Ga, April 90
Scheduled to make Nationwide
radio address tonight to the Young
Democratic Clubs of America. Presl-
dent Roosevelt today was applying
the finishing touches to what may
turn out to be highly significant
political declaration
In his own words, the speech is
to be short, sweet and to the point"
description which does not con-
f1ict with the example set in two
faction of the Democratic party.
In fact, Mr.. Roosevelt's earlier
words to the clubs have been re-
called frequently as the platform on
which the New Dealers and third
termers in the party have since
fought their quiet battle against any
compromise with conservatism.
Opposed "Straddlebux" Platform.
"If we nominate conservative can
didates,' the Chief Executive told
the clubs last August 8, "or lip
service candidates on a straddle-
bug platform. I personally. for my
own self-respect and because of my
long service to and belief In liberal
democracy, will find it impossible to
have any active part in such an un-
fortunate suicide of the old Demo-
cratic party.
THE Democratic party will fail if
it goes conservative next year, or
if it is led by people who can offer
naught but fine phrases"
And even earlier, last April 10,
he wrote to the organization presi-
dent:
"It (the Democratic party) can
commit suicide by abandonment of
the policies that brought it to power
There is no use fooling ourselves.
| II we are to have a reactionary
regime-or if that term is too kor-
rific-call 1t conservative regime,
you may depend on it that it will be
the other fellows regime"
Gives Time to Speech.
Against the background of these
remarks, it was not surprising that
Mr.. Roosevelt spent much of yes
terdays long train trip southwark in
careful drafting of tonight's speech
and was spending additional time
on it today.
At the same time. deeply con-
cerned with what may be happening
in war-plagued Europe, the Presi-
dent was maintaining frequent tele-
phonic contact with his foreign
affairs reporters" in Washington
Three times during the trip tele-
phone connections were made with
the southbound train and at At
lanta mail pouch flown from the
Capital WAS put aboard.
Aside from tonight's speech and
whatever unforeseen action may re-
suit from European developments
the Presidents schedule here was
being left for him to rest, to swim
in the foundation pool and to COM
plete his recuperation from recent
illness.

behind the Ford labor policies
emanated from Dearborn.
Because of this he added. "it
is essential that if the policie; and
purposes of the (Wagner) Act are
to be effectuated any order of the
board to be issued in this Gaze be
directed, not to the local conditions
in Dallas, Tex, alone. but to the
fountain head ard to the condi-
tions that exist throughout the sys-
tenn of manufacturing plants and
assembly branches that is the Ford
Motor Co.
Extend to All Employees.
The effects of the unfair labor
practices depicted in this report,
which have emanated from the
senior executive officers of the Ford
Motor Co. in Dearborn, inevitably
extend to all employees of the COM
pany wheresoever situated, and it
is apparent that the elimination
of these effects can only be &C
complished and the recurrence of
such outrageous and violent acts
can only be prevented by treating
the problem, not in piecemeal, but
as one which applies to the entire
system"
The notice which Mr.. Denham
would have Ford send each en-
ploye. as we'll as post on bulletin
boards, would express an intention
not to discourage union member
ship by discharges or the use of
espionage. telephone overlapping,
assaults or "strong-arm" squads.
Thorough Delivery.
The notice, he said. should be de-
livered with the same thorough
ness" that pamphlets entitled Ford
gives viewpoint of labor" were dis
tributed to workers in 1897. EN-
ployes in such operations as those
at Ford plants had scant oppor-
tunity. he added, to read compre-
hensive notices posted on bulletin
boards.
Mr. Denham's proposal would also
require the company to forbid super
visory employees from violating the
terms of the notice. on pain of
discharge.
The examiners report gives the
company 20 days in which to comply
with the recommendations, or file
exceptions and seek oral argument
before the board. If the 20 days
were to lapse without compliance or
the filing of exceptions, board
order would be expected to follow.
Perry's Testimony Recited.
Mr.. Denham's report at one point
recited the testimony of S. c. (Fats)
Perry, in which he described how
men suspected of union inclinations
were taken "for a ride" Perry was
one of five alleged members of the
strong-arm squad to testify at the
board hearing.
The examiner quoted Perry's tes-
! timony as follows, In describing the

Second place Triple
Tie Looms as Ivy
Loop Finishes
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, March 9.-The basket
ball season will lend tonight as far
as the Eastern teams are concerned
and possibly none too soon as far
as the general public is concerned.
After many weeks of skirmishing
the final night of the campaign
merely is an anti-climax in which
the Eastern 1vy) League will try
to decide second place and other
positions.
In the league windup activity,
Cornell will be at Columbia, Prince
ton at Pennsylvania and Yale at
Harvard
AS they lined up today, Prince
ton and Cornell were tied for Sec
ond. and Yale was close enough be-
hind that if both the Tigers and the
Big Reds were to lose tonight and
Yale win, it would precipitate a
triple tie.
The league championship was
clinched last week by Dartmouth for
the third consecutive time.
Besides the competition for sec
ond place in the team standings, the
runner-up to Dartmouth's Gus
Broberg in individual scoring will
be determined in the closing games.
Columbia's Albie Myers has tailed
1873 points. and Cornell's Jim Ben
nett is only three points behind.

Alumni 10 Tackle
His A. u. Five

Ordinarily. you wouldn't regard
Staff Cassell, American Upiversity's
athletic director, as the type to de-
sert a sinking ship, but he'll do that
tonight.
Yep, cassell's finally decided to
turn against his 1910 basket ball
team, even though it wound up its
regular season last night by defeat
ing Elizabethtown. 1899.
Tonight he will be the leader of
an alumni aggregation which threat
ems to run ragged the current Eagle

games in IA starts. the poorest
record. incidentally, that any A. U.
five has turned in in a number Of

former A. U. stalwarts as Sparky
Bartlett, Cheat Carter, Bruce Kess-
Ter, Oscar Sells, Hugh Tate, Scotty
Champion and Les Collision.
A. U. had rather tough going last
night in the first half, during which
the lead changed hands eight times,
but the Eagles held q 1917 advan-
tage at half-time. After that, Eliza

Blades big problem is in finding
better shortstop- second base COM

possible, he wants to shift Jimmy
Brown over to third base and leave
him there, but he can't do that un-
less he comes up with a shortstop.
His best bet now appears to be
Martin Marion, a 6-foot 2-inch
string bean who was with Rochester
last year. Maurice Sturdy, who hit
.3l4 for Rochester, might beat out
Stuart Martin at second. If Blades
does find the combination he wants,
then the Cards indeed will be tough.

Johnny Mize on first, the Cards still
have the heaviest pair of 'clubbers

have the leagues best center fielder.

been upset much by Joe Medwicks
disgruntled departure for home.
Manager Ray Blades obviously ex-
poets to have his slugging outfielder
In the fold shortly, so he is making
no particular plans for filling Joes
big shoes. Don Padgett is going
right on being full-time catcher, in
other words.
Blades was quick to discredit tip
going the rounds that Medwick
might be traded to the Giants for
Catcher Harry Danning.
What good would Danning do
us?" he asked. Besides, il you
had your choice of selling Medwick
for 100000 to Brooklyn or trading
him for Danning. you would take
the money. think"
Blades believes his club has an
even chance of beating out Cincin-
natl for the National League pen
nant, and he couldn't possibly think
that if he didn't have Medwick.
Il don't know whether we will
beat them" he smiled. "but we're
sure going to be in there trying.
But, after all. they really have
only a two-man pitching staff-Der-
ringer and Walters. Between them
they won over half the Reds vic
tories last year. Can you count on
them to do that well again? 1 don't
mean that the Reds don't have other
good pitchers. They have. But If
either Derringer or Walters falls off
a little, my staff will be fully a
match for their staff, and my out
field is better than theirs"
Blades made it plain that he in
tends to work his pitchers just as
he did last season. despite the criti-
cism for his unorthodox methods.
All of his moundsmen are expected
to be ready to start games and to
do relief duty as often as they are
needed, even though this might keep
the staff a trifle upset. In this he
has the full support of President
