SPEECH HFflRQ BY THOUSANDS Scene of historic Qivil War Battle Revisited by Executive 1 SISTER AND "MYSTERY WOMAN" VISIT SLAYER i ' By JAMES P. SELVAGE Associated Press Staff .Writer GETTYSBURG, Ta..'May 0. (-AP) -Leading the nation la Its Memorial Day tribute to th war dead, President Hoover came to Gettysburg today, and amid the craves that dot the battleground, pleaded for preservation and the spiritual solidarity that has cre ated a great people. . Then putting aside for the time the caret of official routine, Mr. Hoover turned northward for a ISO-mile automobile drive through, the Allegheny mountains to the hunting and fishing lodge of Jay Cooke, a Philadelphia fi nancier, whose guest lie Is to be until early Sunday. Thousands Stand Silent 0, As Speech Delivered Thousands packed on the hill side stretching away below the stand from which the president spoke. They stood silent through the address, the 1020-word text which was the briefest presiden tial address at Gettysburg since Lincoln's Immortal speech In 1863. Sneaking slowly and earnestly. Tisibly moved at times by bis own words, Into the - microphones which carried his voice to the massed crowd within view and the millions throughout the na tion, the president recalled the 'lonely vision of Lincoln whose Immortal words dominate this scene." The spot where Lincoln spoke in dedicating the national ceme tery is marked by a high monu ment at which Mr: Hoover paused and left his car to lay a memorial wreath while enroute to the cov ered, flag draped cnpolo from which he delivered, his address. It was barely risible through the trees, in back of the throng that circled the speaker's stand. Rows of Graves Are tfecorated With Flags Bright sun beat down upon the scene and among the row on row of graves flags whipped in a brlsk-4 wind. On the graves also were flowers which had been strewn by hundreds of children who broke across the rolling road to scatter them as the president reached the , cemetery. Behind the president sat a rem nant of the "thousand brigades which marched In that great con flict" the dark blue of the S6 Union veterans contrasting with the Confederate gray of a lone confederate cavalryman, William Haines, aged 93 of Washington. He was the first survivor of the eoat hern ranks to sit on the plat form at a Gettysburg memorial exercise. Member of Choir in Early Day on Hand Mrs. M. O. Smith, 87. Hanover. Pa., who sang in the choir on- the. platform when Lincoln dedicated the cemetery, was back in a place of honor today. Grouped about the president also were Secretary of "War Hur ley; Henry P. Fletcher, former ambassador to Italy, Gov. Fisher of Pennsylvania who nreslded and introduced the president, and oth ers prominent in state and nation at life. Only as the chief executive be gan speaking and at the end did applause resound. As Lincoln , had stood 67 years ago and in his brief address awed the crowd Into silence by the beauty of his thought, so Herbert Hoover stood today and called for leadership of vne nation tempered by modera tion and the ealm vision of the elvil war president. Memory ef Lincoln Held Bnderins; Homnaewt "Every American's thought of this great battlefield of Gettys burg flashes with the instant vis Ion of the lonely figure of Lincoln Whose Immortal words dominate this scene," he said. "No monu ment has been or can be erected here so noble and enduring as . that simple address which has be come a part of this place. Great er than the tribute of granite or bronze remains that memorable message to the American people. That appeal for the unity of our people and the perpetuation of the fundamentals of our democracy is as rital today in our national thinking as it was when Lincoln poke."
