President Roosevelt is supposed to bo preparing to advocate a constitutional amend ment on labor hours and wages if he Is re-elected. Many a well-informed New Denier will tell you so in pri vate. The story iwiW'rMWi nas the strength oi i iui hi inspirn tlou. What line the ame n d m e n t would take Is not being sug gested. Essen tially It would give the govern ment authority to regulate com mercc and not Just Interstate commerce. The theory of the o metal Inspira tion Is that the president has re frained from championing such an amendment because he did not want to have his re-election campaign founght out on the lone Issue. Also he thought there were other ways of accomplishing his purpose and he wanted to try these first. Despite the reasonableness of the story and the lofty authority for tt. few business advisory authorities In Washington are falling for It. Frakly, they cloubf that it will come to paos. There does not seem to be a chance in the world for Mr. Roose velt to put over the constitutional amendment, even If he undertakes It. No one doubts that he would have advocated It long ago If there had been a reasonable opportunity tor success. But he needs two thirds of congress and three-fourths of the states. His next congress will be less amenable to his will than the last one. no matter what kind of victory he wins. Furthermore, many states which will support him for re-election wlU not support a constitutional amendment. Most of the twelve southern and border states are In that category. Aa Mr. Roosevelt Is a very prac tical statesman, the prospects are he will continue to bide his time, awaiting an opportunity for ap pointment of new supreme court Justices and hoping to find some legal loophole in forthcoming su preme court decisions, particularly the pending one of tho Wagner la bor bill. He needs only a majority of tho senate and the house to ef fect hts purpose that way. Frequently, Inspired official stor ies of a nature similar to this latest one have been circulated during political campaigns and have failed to outlive the election. This one will do Mr. Roosevelt no barm In the manufacturing centers, where ho Is counting on a heavy labor vote. International aspects of the pri vate romance of the King of Eng land were completely summed up by one American statesman, who saw In It nothing more serious than a problem of "chicken a la King." Nevertheless, Edward's stock with the authorities here has fallen from 100 to Just about zero. They are not Interested particularly In the truth or untruth or all the surmises now being printed. They are only dis mayed that the King has put him--'elf in a position for such comment. His Job la to hold the scepter of authority In England. The only thing ho has to do Is to set a good example for his people. Nothing ! Is required of him. His simple duty la to maintain himself as the n.rmbol of lnw and respect. Consequently, he has made a complete failure of his Job before It hss been officially given to him. The president still has a personal flickering to go to the Psn-Amert-rsn conference, but probably, In the nd. he will not go. Friends have trl-d to talk him out of it, pointing out that the trip to Buenos Aires would require a month. If me European situation was recently o uncertain aa to prevent him from colng west on a bigger campaign tour. It will probably be too uncer tain to let him get out of the coun "7 for a month, they told him. New Deal diplomats Intend never 'h'less to ballyhoo the conference forcefully as they can without htm. a storng international build up for its Is Just starting. The conference will be of Important- to Latin American nations, but probably not to the rest of the world.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31. (AP) Amid thundering applause of thousands In Demomrata rallying to the cause In Madison Square Garden, President Franklin D. Roosevelt told the nation tonight that tt might expect from four years more of the New Deal 'a fight on behalf of labor, the farmer the unemployed and the home owners and for social security and better banking." . For the most part, the speech was a recitation of things already under, taken by the administration, sprink led with repetaed asserttona that "we have Just begun to fight." Into the flnAl major address of hia bid for re-election were Injected, too. another thrust at Republican re gimes of 1920 to 1932. his own defi nition of the campaign issue, and a declaration that he welcomed the hatred" of those who sought gov ernment by "organized money." Riot of Noise The garden was a riot of noise anl color and motion aa the chief execu tive atepped upon the speakers' plat form and Into the bluo-whlte glare of spotlights outtlng through clgar- o.o smoke like army searchlights through night ha. Minute after minute the pandemo nium kept up. The presldont stood smiling, waving, making little at tempt at first to silence the tremen dous uproar. Crowds awarmed into the farthest reaches of the balconies, madly wav ing flags and cheering wildly. A balcony band playing at top speed was scarcely audible above the pandemonium, swelled by horns, and whistles and hells. After the boisterous greeting had lasted ten minutes over hi radio time, the president began to wave the throng into their seats, but hand clapping by Gov. Herbert H. Lehman kept them doggedly shouting ana whistling. Finally. Mr. Roosevelt pulled out his yellow gold watch and held it on high. Then he shook Ills hand trying to obtain silence as a chant of "Wo want Roosevelt" reverberated through tho vast Indoor amphitheater. For 13 minutes the ovation lasted. Senator Robert F. Wagner (D., N y.) introduced the president as "our fearless leader and the bearer of our destinies, the president of the United States." Even as he began speaking perspi ration had started forming on the president's forehead. Raps O. O. P. Ovor and over again he repeated: "We have Just begun to fight."! The chief executive submitted hu record to the nstlon. welcoming the hatred of those favoring government "by organized money," taking a final fling at Republican administrations, and giving his own definition of the campaign Issue aa follows: "In 1932 the Issue was the restora tion of American Democracy; and the American people were In a mood to win. They did win. "In 1938 tho Issue is the preser vation of their victory. Again, they are In a mood to win. Again they will win." He said the New Deals vision for the future contains more than prom ises, but in outlining objectives be left for the future whet svps. Itgls ltlve or otherwise, would be taken to reach them. "Of course, we will continue to seek to Improve working condition for the workers of America," he said. To reduce hours over-long, to In crease wages that spell starvation, to j end the labor of children, to wipe out sweatshops. I "Of course we will continue evcrv ffort to end monoply In business, to support collective bargaining, to atop unfair competition, to abolish trade practices." j s IN HOMING giUt ?J ANCISCO.

(AP) It Is not any Individual, but pub lic opinion that will either send the United States Into or keep It out of war, Senator William E. Borah (R.. Idaho) asserted tonight. In answer to a question by a mem ber of hts audience, the campaign ing senator who -weta a sixth con secutive term as a Republican inter rupted a discussion of foreign afialrs to say he had no. doubt that nil of the current presidential candidates hate war, 'as we all hat war." "But whether we get into war or stay out depends not upon any one individual but upon public opinion. Woodrow Wilson hated war, but through propaganda and machina tions wo drUted into war despite his hatred of war. "My contention is that in order to stay out of war. public opinion must be vigilant and determined against war." T TAKES 01 LIFE SAN LEANDRO. Calif.. Oct. 31.

Smith, Democratic candi date for president In 1028, charged tonight that New Deal leaders "de llbertely retarded recovery In this country so they could put over a few of their crack-pot schemes." He aftaallM President Roosevelt and other Democratic leaders for making alliances with other parties such as tho Farmer-Labor party In Minnesota, the American Labor party In New York and tho Progressive party tn Wisconsin. "Somebody Is going to be double crosd." ho shouted after citing these and other Instances of alli ances. He kept repeating It until it became a sort of refrain after each paragraph. "Why are the communis ts support ing RooaevelU" he asked. "That they are there can be no doubt. Why7 Is It because he has a pleasing radio vim or an enchanting smile of onw kind? Not at all. Why, they are a bard-headed business group. They are cold-blooded to the laat degree "t will tell you why they are sup porting him becaust they are en tirely satlsUed with hts admtnlstra -tton in that It gives promise by the united front of the farmer and the laborer aa dictated from the com In tern in Moscow to conquer America and countries like America that have constitutional law by peaceful mesne rather than by bloodr.hed In the be ginning."

Smith assailed tho new deal'a "crackpot reforms" and alleged support by communists, INDUSTRIAL AREA, FARM BELT VOTE KEY TOILECTION Campaign Closes With Both Sides Claiming Victory Tuesday, In Record Vote. (By the Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Oct. 31. Much aa It began, the presidential campaign virtually ended tonight with an up roar of party-splitting arguments over new deal policies. Led by President Roosevelt in Now York City and Governor Landon in St. Louis; tholr parti sana disputed from one end of the country to the other. A sabbath quiet tomorrow will allow for brief reflection by the voters. Some final appeals and warn ings remain for Monday. Officials are preparing for a record turnout, perhaps In excess of 44,000,000 Tues day. Trends In pivotal states may foreshadow the result before the evening Is well along. Predictions and claims contradict each other more markedly than in some recent elections. Citing factors which seem to favor them to sup port their assertions of confidence, major party leaders depict their op ponent aa "desperate." Broadly, tho Democratic organisation appears to be counting on the south and states In the far west and the Republicans on New England as starting points. None of the great Industrial or farming states with the larger elec toral vote la conceded. The decid ing margin may be measured by what those areas do. Of the minor party candidates, Earl Browder, communist, has been at the forefront In making more biting attacks on Landon than on Roosevelt and having his difficulties in trying to apeak in Florida and Indiana. Norman Thomas, socialist, expounded his platform over much of the country. Politics On Radio NEW YORK, Oct. 81.
