WASHINGTON. D. C, Oct. 10. A Literary Digest emissary carried the bad news about the decline In Mr. Roosevelt's popularity to the presi dent some weeks ago at Hyde Park. The figures were about the same as those Just published, showing a de cline of about 33 per cent In the Roosevelt "yes" vote. The president SUVA, FIJI Islands, Oct. SI.

(Sunday) (AP) The dar ing Molllsons, Amy and Jim, were streaking toward India from Bagh dad early today with three male teams close at their heels In the $50,000 London to Melbourne air classic. Of the IB entries ten were spend ing the night on the ground from Rome westward and four were roughly between Rome and Athens while the Americans, CoR Roscoe Turner and Clyde Pangborn. were expected at Baghdad shortly. In second plsce as the 2.300-mlle leg from Baghdad to Allhabad was 10.) The poll showed only 38 per cent - c w In favor of the new deal and 63 per cent against. Yet the new dealers won the election, winning two out of the three congressional seats and the governorship, and they almost won the senatorshlp. An explanation for that may be that the democrats must have hidden strength smong a sub-strata of voters not covered by the Digest poll. At least that Is what they say, and everyone will admit that the Roose velt strength Is greatest among those on relief rolls. The Digest names come from many sources, mainly from directories, telephone books and farm publications, which may be top-heavy with names of people whom the new deal has helped least.

If you analyze the situation you will find that both may be right. The Digest poll was taken on the new deal as a whole. The democratic polls were made on democratic congress men and senators. There must be a lot of voters who told the Digesters they did not approve of new deal pol cles aa a whole and yet are going to Tote against republican candidates in the election. You can tell more about that the day after election. One phase of the "something big for business" plan In the back of the president's mind is an idea for help ing the heavy goods Industrie. The latest figures (monthly busi ness chart) show they have been op erating around 67 per cent of normal, while all other industry was up to 90 per cent. It la obvious that the coun try cannot recover until they get go ing. And the trouble Is they cannot get going until the country recovers. Their business is good only when the country Is growing and expand ing, when the railroads are building new lines, when new Empire State buildings are being .built. Everyone knows that nobody la doing much ex panding now and will do little until the existing slack Is fully taken up. That paradox can be worked out In only one successful way invention. There Is every reason to suspect that the gpvernment may shortly encour age (by loans and otherwise) the creation of new uses for steel and the other heavy goods. As a simple and probably not a very good example, sums may be advanced for steel house construction and for stream-lined trains, If they prove successful. The matter now la In the hands of the durable goods industrialists, who are privately exploring practical .r.; ventlon poasl bill ties. Nothing will be .aid about It publicly until some thing definite is worked out. Ex-Congressman West, who sacri ficed himself for the new deal In the Ohio senatorial race, is shortly to get an Important position In the treasury. It will not be the budget director's Job, however. The president Is well pleased with the civil service man. Daniel Bell, who Is serving in that post. Bell's temporsry appoint ment will probably continue indefi nitely.

Scott revealed he had made a forced landing shortly before reach ing Baghdad when he lost his bear ings in the darkness and came down a small flying field near Klr- kuk. Aviators of the Royal Air Force stationed there provided him with 30 gallons of petrol. We saw no land until four hours after crossing the North Sea." said Scott, "because of clouds. There was dirty weather over Turkey with low clouds and rain." He complained of dust on the Baghdad landing field which soiled his clothing and was told It had been raised by the Molllsons. Par mentler said his ship stopped at Rome, Athens and Aleppo while the Geysendorfer ship halted only at Athens. Among hla three passen gers was Thea Rasche, German sport woman.

He said, even became "glorified bond sales men." He criticized openly also some of the nations oankers and business men. His tone in contrast to other recent administration speeches, seeking to reassure busi ness. Declaring the new deal heralded the start of a new social order, the interior secretary said In a speech before the Toledo forum that the 1932 presidential and congressional elections constituted a peaceful resolution. Realizing in bitterness and des pair how they had been deceived by a get-rich-qulck-government in the control of a get-rlch-quick group of exploiters," Ickcs said, "the peo ple decided to take back into their own hands the government whose powers had been so grossly mis used." Levelling his oratory at "our bril liant financiers and captains of In dustry," he asserted foreign bond sales were their "illogical and Inana" plan to finance foreign trade and keep domestic Industries going. MIAMI, Fla., Oct. 20. (AP) While thousands of American Legionnaires Invaded this tropical, flag-draped city, National Commander Edward A. Hayes today opened pro-convention fireworks with a broadside against the American Veterans' asso ciation. The Legion's head, who will open the convention In Bayfront park here Monday morning, branded the American Veterans association as a "fly-by-nights," and declared Its pur pose was to split the strength of the legion. Hayes said the association "ad mittedly has but one aim, as ad mittedly did the National Economy league, to prevent benefits to the disabled, and It seeks to do this along the same line as did N. E. L. by professing to be for the service connected cases and against the pre sumtlve service esses, although res toration of the latter coat the gov ernment less than $10,000,000." The national commander's remarks were contained in a statement re leased from his convention head quarters office. Referring to newspaper advertise ments he said he had been pub lished by the American Veterans' association, Hayes declared: These advertisements purport to be paid for and published at the Instigation of Legionnaires, evidently members of the A.

INSULL TRICKERY IN STOCK SALES TOLD BY WITNESS CHICAGO. Oct. 20. (AP) Prose cutors closed the third week of their case against Samuel Insull, Sr., to day with testimony that, "wash sales" helped ma're the "Jewels of the In sull empire" sparkle for Investors, The Jury trying Insull and 18 oth ers for mall fraud heard an Illus trated lecture on "wash sales" from R.
