Government With Heart
AS Well as q Head

Government has had heart
as well as a head.
Here are some things the op-
position would like you to forget:
Social security has been ex-

lion Americans Unemployment
compensation to an additional
4 million Americans.
Our health program has been
greatly improved-research INTO

ing diseases has been stepped up.

We have had STA billion

Opposition charges, two thirds

viduals.

progress has been made in civil

And we have been vigilant and
successful in preserving the Ma

These are just some of the
things this administration has
been doing.

but I find that even q few hours
here provide a tremendous tonic
for me, as an American. From
my heart. I thank you for the
warmth of your welcome.
This time I am here in the
midst of a political campaign--a
political campaign to determine
what kind of government this
country is sgoing to have for
the next four years.
Let there be no mistake. There
are deep and essential differ
ences in the, beliefs and convic-
tons of the two major parties
as established by their words
and by their records in Office.
Speaking simply and directly
to the problem: One of the most
vital of these differences is that

The men of the opposition
know perfectly well that one OF
the main reasons they were
thrown out of Office four years
ago was their tolerance of the
Ithieyery of imitation. just in the
final seven years of their tenurs
of Office this economic fever had
cut the value of the dollar by
almost one-third. damaging the
livelihood of the aged-the pen

Says Foe Did Nothing
To Help Formers

Take agriculture. They-the
opposition--had 20 long years to
do something for the most needy
families on our farms. At. the
end of those 20 years, they had
done nothing-except to bypass
the small farmer as they made
corporation and big-area farm
ing more profitable than ever
before. And the administrations
new rural development program
/ is the first repeat the first
lfull-scale and integrated Federal
effort to help these lowest
income families.
Another administration pro-
gram enables the small farmer
often young veteran-to get
full and comprehensive credit in
financing his farm and buildings
and equipment and seed. And he
can refinance his existing debts
in the same manner as a buSi-
mess or industry. That's another
first" for this administration.
And they-the opposition-know
lit.
Take small business. Just Is
years ago small business people
from all over America gathered
i'm Washington at the request of
the administration then in power.
They made % recommendations
appeals for action. Yet for
the next IA years-for all the
years when the opposition held
power - virtually nothing was
done. This administration is the
first administration that has
made a major attack upon the
problems of small business. And
lthey--the opposition-know it.
/ Take labor. The opposition
say that they alone truly care
for the working men and women
of America and that the Repub-
lican Party is really a vague kind
of political conspiracy by big
business to destroy organized
labor and to bring hunger and
torment to every worker in
America.

Only Free initiative
Can ReuIize Potential

On the other hand. we OF this
administration believe that the
great American potential can be
realized only through the untet-
tered and free initiative, talents
and energies of our entire people
We believe that the Govern
ment has the funcNon of insur-
ing the national security and do
nestle tranquility, and beyond
this, has to perform, in Lincoln's
phrase-all those things which
individuals cannot do for them
selves.
We believe that Government
must be alert-and this admins
tration has been alert-to every
need Of our people, especially in
those things affecting their
health and education and human
right. A sound nation is built
of individuals sound in body and
mind and spirit. Government
dares not ignore the individual
citizen.
But we emphatically reject
every unnecessary invasion into
the daily lives of our people and
into their occupations. both in
dustrial and on the farm.
Let no one tell you that this
difference is either merely doc
trinal or fanciful. 1t is prac-
tical, 1t is real. 1t affects your
lives, the life of the Nation today
and the life of the Nation to-
morrow.
Naturally, the busy orators of
the opposition deplore and
even attempt to deny-this faith
of ours. in you, the people.

they are extremely unhappy

For Cleveland, and the rural
areas in Ohio; and the citizens
of all the other AZ States, are
not only running their own jobs
efficiently. but are doing their
part to run Washington. The
result is a better America, an
America of increasing peace
security and progress.
Together, we Americans have
moved long way forward in
the last tour years.
Now Cleveland is not an island
of prosperity in an ocean OF
stagnation. All America has ad-
vanced in the last four years.

Priest Explores Mystery
Of BIodensburg Seaport

One of the puzzles of the
Washington scene is the we'll
documented fact that sailing
vessels used to tie up where a
grove Of trees now stands near
the Peace Cross at Bladensburg.
There is no doubt about it.
There are plenty of records Of
tobacco shipments to foreign
ports when Bladensburg was a
port on the Anacostia River be-
fore the City of Washington
was founded. And the harbor
masters Office still stands
nearby.
Last night, at a meeting of the
Columbia Historical Society in
Catholic University. the Rev.
John F. Biddle explored this
mystery. Father Biddle. who
teaches at the Archbishop Car
roll High School, read a paper
on Bladensburg. He had select
ed that location for his masters
thesis on historical geography
and has since continued his
study of the 18th century port.
Cycle of Tobacco
His conclusion was that to-
bacco made the Port of Bladens-
burg and tobacco finished it,
That is, the tilling of the land
thereabouts to grow the precious
weed led to erosion which silted
the harbor until it became a
stand of trees instead of masts.
Father Biddle mentioned that
some people believed the river
was 40 feet deep in the early
days. He expressed doubts as to

that. He noted that Tobias
Lear, Washington's secretary,
wrote in 1893 that the Anacostia
was navigable only for small
craft.
Star Quoted
He also noted that Gen. Will
liam H. Winder. in explaining
the defeat at Bladensburg in
1914 that led to the burning of
the Capitol, said it was useless
to destroy the bridge as the
stream could be waded. (How-
ever, the bridge was above the
|harbor.) Father Biddle also
cited an item from The Star Of
December 25, 1900, relating that
IBladensburg ceased to be a
tobacco port only in 1843, and
that the last vessel clearing the
port was the schooner Rover.
In 1865 the Coast and Geo.
Idetic Survey measured the depth
Iof the Anacostia at Bladensburg
1T was 312 feet.
The floods came after the
river silted up. The earliest
flood of record occurred on
June l, 1889. He read a de-
Iscription of that flood from The
Star of the following day. To-
day, the small launches of the
Harbor Police cannot get up
the river to Bladensburg and
more than 81 million is being
spent to control the floods.
