WASHINOTON. Sept. 7. 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.
"hat Is why Hull would like to

be able to.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., Sept. 7.
(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.

United States Senator William E

'Chiselers' Blamed.
TORONTO, Sept. 7. (AP) Ollva
Dlonne, father of the Callander
qu I n tu pie ts, revealed today he is
anxious to sever his connection with
his manager, Leo Kervtn. He aald
he offered Kervln. Callander ooai

. m-e-vear contract under which
Dlonne paye part of his earnings
to Ken-In.
AnnMiMnff with his wife at a booth
in tha Canadian National Exhibition
here. Dlonne stopped signing pic
tures of his famous children long
enough to tell about his offer and
Kervin's refusal. The manager prev
iously agreed to accept a lump sum
in settlement, Dlonne asserted.
Dionne said he had been paying
a percentage of his earnings to
Kervin for more than a year.
CALLANDER, Out., Sept. 7. (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."

All Italian consuls In Ethiopia were
recalled to Addis Ababa Saturday, a
move many observers Interpreted as
preceding an ultimate war.
Other developments:
Rome : Pope Plus expressed the
wish Italy's "needs" In Ethiopia might
be achieved by peaceful means and
said: "Prom our latest Information,
we seem to see forming on the horl
Eon a rainbow of peace."
GENEVA, Sept. 7. ( AP) What was
In effect an appeal to Italy and Ethi
opia not to resort to force for the
time being was dispatched today as a
league sub-committee of five natloiih
strove to find a way out of war.
The aub-committee, after a brief
morning session, issued a commu
nique stating that It: "Relies on the
governments roncerned to refrain
from any act that might compromise
efforts.'
As the week ended. It appeared the
league's machinery had made but
small progress on the steep and slip
pery road toward Italo-Ethloplan so
lution. Optimists, however, could point out
that the' peacemakers had at least
arrived at the formation of a small
committee charged with continua
tion of the delicate task of concilia
tion. This responsibility la shoul
dered by representatives of Oreat
Britain, France. Poland, Turkey and
Spain.
ADDI3 ABABA. Sept. 7. (AP) Italy
called ail ita consuls In Ethiopia to
Addis Ababa today In a precautionary
move and one which many regarded
aa an indication of ultimate war.
Lulgl Vlncl-Glgllulccl, the Italian
minister, In giving the order, ex
plained the great dlstancea and lack
of communications made it desirable
to remove the consuls from possible
danger rones, adding It would 'take
some of them several weeks to reach
the capital by horseback.
(A government spokesman in Rome
said Vlncl-Olgllucel acted on his own
Initiative In view of the unsettled
con d HI oca and not under orders of the
foreign office).
The recall. It waa believed certain,
would not only disturb Ethiopians but
also foreigners in the interior. The
Italian minister told the Ethiopian
foreign minister he believed his ac
tion would prevent a recurrence of
alleged Incidents involving mistreat
ment of consuls. '
FLOOD DAMAGE IN
RICHMOND. Va., Sept. 7. (AP)
Richmond's gas -was cut off tonight
as a precautionary measure after
flood wa tera from the Jo mes ri ver
had put the bolleVa of the plant out

serve tank containing about a 24
hour supply.
Highway authorltites announced
that trunk highways to Washington

open, despite reports that water had
washed out the approaches to on side
of a double bridge on route 1 to
Washington and that water had risen
over Bottom's bridge on route AO by
way of Smtthfleld.
As the fruit of heavy rains taxes
the capacities of rivers and creeks

estimates placed the damage to crops,

bridges and other property from rain,
