Mead Pauses at FDR's
 GraUe During Campaign
Bx RICHARD c. HARRIs

Hyde Park, N. Y, Oct. 21 - (UP) Sen. James M. Mead, Democratic candidates for governor, paused here today on the second week of campaign tour of northern New York counties to place a wreath on the grave of the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
 Mead, accompanied by Anthony J. DiGiovanna, candidate for attor- ney-general, planned to make brief appearances during the day at Poughkeepsie, Kingston, and Hud- son, and to address a major rally tonight at Troy. Erastus Corning 2d, mayor of Albany and candidate for ieutenant-governor, will join the party at Poughkeepsie.
 Mead's visit to the late Pres ident's grave was in line with the Democratic strategy emphasized last week when Elliott Roosevelt announced that he would campaign actively for both Mead and Herbert H. Lehman, Democratic candidate for U. s. Senator, because, he said, If my father was alive today he WOu1O 1dtOI G1lClI C1CCG1O1l.
 Elliott to Make One Speech
 The younger Roosevelt said that anyone "who believed in the prin- ciples of Franklin Delano Roosevelt would be abandoning him and re- pudiating him" if they voted for either Gov. Thomas E. Dewey or Irving M. Ives, Republican candi- dates for governor and senator, res- pectively He said he would make at least one upstate speech for Mead and Lehman-at Rochester on Oct. 29.
 Mead's address in Troy tonight was taken as bid to recapture Rensselaer, County for the Demo- cratS. In the Democratic column for many years, the county developed an antipathy for the New Deal and began backsliding in 194O.
 Corning, youthful ex-GI mayor of Nearby Albany, is well-lked in Rensselaer,, which is in the same judicial district as Albany County, and his appearance with Mead was expected to strengthen the Demo- cratic cause in that area. It was the first time that Corning has joined his associate candidates in a major rally.
 Big Rally Set in BinghamtOn After their one-day appearance in the Hudson Valley counties, Mead and DiGiovanni will strike out through the southern tier, moving from Troy by automobile to Bing- hamton tomorrow.
 A major rally was planned at Bing hamton, where Henry Epstein Democratic candidate for associate judge on the court of appeals, will join the party.
 The candidates will appear in AL bany Wednesday,; Utica Thursday Syracuse Friday, and at Schenect- ady Saturday. They will return to New York City over the weekend and during the following week will address major rallies in the city's five boroughs.

Public Must Become
SafeY Conscious.
Mayor Powell Says

As Mayor of Henderson l have
been called upon frequently 10
endorse various campaigns OF
one kind or another, and there
has often been doubt in my mind
as to the worth of the campaign
| have been requested TO endorse.
But there is no doubt in my mind
of the value of this campaign by
the Henderson Daily Dispatch
and other agencies to promote
highway safety. II is apparent TO
all thinking persons that this
useless slaughter of our people
on our streets and highways
must cease.
1t is also my opinion that it can
be ended only by arousing the
public to become safety consci-
Gus, and by making them more
careful operators OF motor We
hicles. Without this, all the law
enforcement in the world can
not give us safety. If we stop and
think Il moment, we will realize
that an officer has nothing to
enforce until law is broken, and
when the law is broken, il is too
often too late to prevent tragic
accident, and all the officer can
do is to carry the offender TO
court for punishment.
We have only TO think of the
large number of tragedies which
have occurred near Henderson
within the past six months TO
make us realize that we need to
become safety conscious and
stop, or at least greatly reduce,
this grim toll of careelSsness and
reckleSsness on our streets and
highways.
