Copyright, 1935, by Paul Mai Ion WASHINGTON, Nov. 2a. If there .re any doubts out In the country .bout President Roosevelt's re-elec-lon, there are none at the White House. In fact, Mr. loose velt, himself, practle a 1 1 y announced It the other day. His listeners fail ed to catch It, but, In his speech to the mayors, he said near the end: "I think the time Is coming. not this . coming (1036) session of VWL JI.M.LON congress, because ve hope that it will be a very short session, but by the following year, rhen all of us can get together, and ilt around a table and work out a letter system of taxation." The year following 1036 Is the one n which Mr. Roosevelt's present term sxplres at noon. January 20. This might be written off as :ongue slip, except that a' significant :orrespondlng relaxation of tension ias been noticeable Inside the White fiouse. It started about two weeks i go. For one thing, Mr. Roosevelt went )ff to Warm Springs a few days ear. ler than originally planned. Also, be- "ore his departure, ho had been leav ng his office each day around 4:30 ?. m., Instead of tho usual 6 p. m. rlls associates have adopted a similar casing schedule. It Is all apparently due to reports Mr. Roosevelt has received privately !rom his many political prophets, nicy have been telling htm that the ;.idc which was running against him up to the time the last election re turns were counted, has now begun to ebb. His agents apparently disre garded the new Literary Digest poll rigures. t Note The president gets to his of rice generally between 10:30 and ll;00 &. m. However, he starts each day iibout two earlier. Long dally ses sions are still held with his break rast cabinet, composed of Secretaries Early, Lehand and Maclntyre. They no over the morning papers, the guest list, plan the day. The official Inside excuse for the nudden decision to send Undcr-secre-tary Phillips to London Is not only cood. but too good. H Is that Mr. Roosevelt doe not know how much to spend on the navy next year. He is holding the budget open on that question while Phillips runs over to the naval conference to find out how much the others arc going to spend. Then he will hasten back to tell President Roosevelt before the budget goes to congress. The only thing wrong with that la Phillips does not kuow anything about naval expenditures. His fellow delegate. Admiral Standley. does. All that Phillips will find out In London about navnl expenditures is what Ad miral Standley will tell him. It would be much simpler for Standley to cable back the data In code. That would save Phillips a transatlantic trip.

Hawaii, Nov. 32. (AP) The Mauna Loa volcano sent a vast flow of Lava 13 miles long down its slopes early today, with possi bility It might be diverted toward this city of 20.000, 40 miles distant. Thn fire neared a critical point on the Mauna Loa-Maunnkea saddle on the great mountain, from which It might turn toward Hilo or away. With undiminished activity, new foundations replaced old ones In the crater, and the great mass slithered down during the night toward Mau nakea, snow covered peak of Hawaii island. Hllo lies 20 miles due east of the point where the lava apparently will strike the base of Maunakea. It then must turn to right or left. Diversion Planned. , Should the molten river turn toward Hllo and threaten the city, Volcanologist Thomas A. Jaggar plana to divert the stream by blasting. Slag precedes lava and blasting in Its path causes, the lava to burst through the slag In the direction of the blast. Alfred Prestena, radio operator, from his station 9000 feet up Maua kea's side, described the flow -to the Associated Press, as seen from his vantage point. He said there was no cessation of the eruption, wnicn db gan at 7 p.m. yesterday. - Despite possibility of danger, resi dents were thrilled by the spectacle and few slept. ,.For the first time In history, the eruption of Mauna' Loa was visible in Honolulu more than 200 miles in .an airline from the 13.675-foot peak.
