President Roosevelt's assurance that business will now be permitted a breathing ipell was not con ceived aa casually as It appeared to be. Weeks before congress quit, trie president decided It was politically advisable to till the void of expla nations about his maneuvers. From several applicants for personal In terviews and statements along this line, Mr. MMUCI PAUL MA LI-UN Roosevelt chose to respond to the letter written to him by a publisher who has supported his new deal thru thin and thinner. The "breathing spell" assurance la substantially the same aa given pri vately by the president to departing congressional leaders. They did not doubt that the president hoped to afford It, that he was planning no Important legislation for the January session of congress, prior to elections. At the same time, they made no secret of their private Impression that the duration of the proposed breath ing spell Is problematical. What they had in the back of their minds la this: Supreme court decisions this fall may make new reform legislation Im perative from a new deal viewpoint; the tax bill Is obviously only an Initial step In the program outlined in Mr. Roosevelt's tnx message to con gress: the monetary situation must be settled eventually. State Secretary Hull looka around corners these days to make sure that he will not run Into anyone who will ask him about Russia. AU loyal diplomats under him understand that this subject la number one on the list of things Mr. Hull Is hoping to forget. He will be disappointed. He does not know it yet. but the American Legion, for one, is preparing to back him up in a way. A resolu tion will be adopted at the legion convention tn St, Louis about two weeks hence approving Mr. Hull's noted charge that Moscow violated Us non-propaganda promise. But the catch in It for Mr. Hull is that the resolution will demand severance of dlplomntlc relations with Russia (Le gion Insiders who have checked the prospects believe adoption will be unanimous). Our secondary diplomats will now deny it, but they recommended re call of Ambassador Bullitt following receipt of the soviet note disavowing propaganda pledges as far as the third International Is concerned. They are sadly disillusioned about the prospects for Russian trade and debt settlement. But the politicians higher up said nothing doing. They thought It was good domestlo politics for Mr. huh to warn the reds as sharply as he did, but severance of relations was an other matter. It would look very much like a confession of error, for one thing. The situation would not be partic ularly bad except that the diplomatic grapevine from Moscow has informed them that the reds do not care any thing about recognition either, and would Just as soon call It off. If Mr. Hull had sent his rebuttal statement to Moscow. Instead of merely issuing It to the public. insld ea believe the reds would rve acted. And if all the American ehoutlr f sevcranrsj of relations con'ries. tl iplomatic 'oup Is (minced that Mo:w;r will try to beat Hull to ance of diplon'le ties.

(AP) Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, former governor general of the Phil ippines, played on his relationship to the president tonight to predict the defeat of the president in the 1036 elections. 'Some time ago I was asked what my relationship Is to President Roose velt, Colonel Roosevelt said. I re plied that I am a fifth cousin about to be removed. I was right. "Now I say that the president is my fifth cousin about to be removed In 1938 by the American people." Colonel Roosevelt, sharp critic of the administration, departed from his prepared address to make the pre diction at a young republican rally. NEW YORK. Sept. 7. (AP) A Washington dispatch to the New York Times says a coalition ticket to oppose President Roosevelt will be discussed informally by the execu tive committee of the republican na tional committee late this month and the most prominent names so far ad vanced are Henry Ford for president and Lewis w. Douglas, former bud get director, for vice president. This combination was suggested recently, to republican leaders, the dispatch says, by a group of Univer sity of Pennsylvania professors. They urged the chieftans to weigh the ad vantage of such a coalition, or a sim ilar one, as the most practicable way to win over dissatisfied democrats and Influence the return to the party of Independents who deserted in 1833. The suggestion did not meet with the approval of those at the repub lican national committee office, the dispatch added. They pointed oyt, It was said, that while Mr. Ford fitted Into the pres ent situation and would undoubted ly appeal to a large percentage of voters, he might be classed political ly aa a democrat, who la known to have voted for President Wll&on. He supported Coolldge, however, and is now regarded as an aggressive repub lican, as la his son, Edsel, the dis patch says. BOISE. Idaho. Sept. 7. ( AP) It United States Senator William E Borah of Idaho gave the "proper assurances," the organisation behind the Townsend old-age revolving pen sion plan "would give him 60.000, 000 for the presidency," Dr. Francis E.

(AP) Leo Kervln. manager of Ollva Dlonne, father of the quintuplets, said today he was sure an amicable settlement could be made between himself and Dlonne, cancelling their contract if they are permitted to rnnfr without interference of "chis elers." The Callander boat-builder who became Dlonne'a business adviser more than a year ago, aald the lump sum offered by the father in set tlement was little more than the amount of money he (Kervln) had spent In Dlcnne's interests. Kervln said the reason Dlonne was showing dissatisfaction with his management was because he had not brought a great deal of money Into the family treasury. . "It wasn't my motive to make a great deal of money for the family but rather to regain for the paror.i their chtlden. the thing they most desire, even at this date' ne said. "Had I been anxious to make money for the DIonnes and myself, disregarding the aim to recover the children, I would have made plenty, for I turned down iftimerous offers to putcize the parents," Kervln continued. He said he had had to sacrifice his business Interests to serve the DIonnes but believed they now had fallen Into hands of a "group ol chiselers." ON BANKS PLEA I SAIaEM.
