BY JOE COLLIER President Roosevelt hopes to make America a better place to live in as a result of “greater co-operation between the states and the national government,” he told 25,000 cheering Hoosiers at the State Fairground today. His brief talk climaxed a hurried tour of the city in which he was acclaimed by more than 75,000 enthusiastic citizens along the 25-mile line of tour, according to police estimates. After 15 minutes at the fairground, Mr. Roosevelt sped back to the Indianapolis Athletic Club, where he conferred with officials of
Indiana and three neighboring states on drought relief plans. : The President’s motor cavalcade left his special train at Union Station shortly beforé 10 a. m., almost an hour late due to an unscheduled but important conference between the chief ‘executive, McNutt and other officials. Fa

The text of the President's brief address follows: I have a mixed feeling about being here. I would much rather stay and see everything. One of the penalties of being President, and there are many, is that I can’t do that. I was brought up in an atmosphere of county fairs, but I am sorry that I was not even able to see my own county fair this year. I appreciate this opportunity of seeing these problems at first hand.

the, fairground was literally packed |

REBELS OPEN DRIVE ‘ON SAN SEBASTIAN
Take! Northern Corner of Spain From Loyalists.
By United Press The [rebels were in control of the
northern corner of Spain along the French border today, cutting off the Loyalists from contact with France and threatening the whole northern coast. The rebels began three smashing offensives in the Irun-San Sebastian
issue into the campaign during his drought inspection trip, but in effective and persuasive disguise, it became apparent today ds he concluded his 10-day tour in this capital of politically doubtful Indiana. In virtually every one of his speeches Mr. Roosevelt preached the necessity of Federal and state cooperation in meeting the drought and permanent agricultural problems, and everywhere the people to whom he talked agreed with him— for they saw evidence on every hand that if the Federal government had not helped them they would have been destitute in thousands of cases. The natural inference is that if the Supreme Court, which outlawed AAA, should now nullify the substitute soil erosion program, then a change in the Constitution = would be the next step. President Roose'velt has not mentioned the Constitution once, but he seems to be sowing the seed just the same.

draped with an American flag, the President waved his hat almost constantly and nodded his greetings to the wildly enthusiastic crowds which had been waiting almost an ‘hour from the time the tour was scheduled. . All along the route, flags were displayed from shop and residential windows; people seemed to be in a light-hearted carnival mood, and the sun sparkled and danced on the shiny paint of the official cars. At the Fairground, more than 50,000 persons awaited the Presi~ dent's arrival and became nervous when he was more than 30 minutes late. The grand stand at the race track, where the President was t@ speak, had an overflow crowd. :

BUILDING ACQUIRED BY BANNER-WHITEHILL
Acquisition of the four-story-and-basement building at 30-32 E. Mary-land-st by the Banner-Whitehill Co. was announced today by Klein & Kuhn, property managemeént agen- %, which conducted the negotiaions.
Also—and highly important for the campaign—the President got the acquiescence of his Republican opponent, Gov. Alf M. Landon, to Federal aid in handling the foremost problems of the farm West. The Governor subscribed to this theory orally in the famous Des Moines conference and in the memorandum he submitted for a longterm program. Thus the President has built a prairie fire about his opponent by 1 crystallizing sentiment in the West and, like a boxer, has tied up Gov. Landon, who may find it difficult to make much of an issue of Federal aid to meet other problems, some of which involve the millions who live in the crowded cities of the East, and for whose vote he is gunning.
Accepts Federal Aid
The Governor also subscribed to the need for Federal funds to tide over the emergency in his own state.
presidential party attended a luncheon at the Indianapolis Athletic Club. Mrs. Paul V. McNutt, wife of the Governor, who entertained, met the visitors at the special train with the Governor. The U-shaped luncheon table was arranged with a horn of plenty centerpiece bearing rubrum lilies; tuberoses and pink rosebuds, surrounded by greenery. At Mrs. Roosevelt's place, to the right of Mrs. McNutt, was a shoulder corsage of white orchids. Mrs. A. B. Chandler, wife of the Governor of Kentucky, sat at Mrs. McNutt’s left. Her corsage was of purple orchids. The other luncheon guests included Mesdames Sherman Minton, Frederick VanNuys, John Kern Sr, John Kern Jr., Bowman Elder, W. H.

The capture of Irun was complete and the once prosperous city was in smoldering ruins. In the south, the government appeared to be holding on well and successfully blocking the rebel advance against Toledo and Madrid. The government in Madrid consolidated its forces for a supreme effort to crush the revolution. It was reported from Barcelona that the Loyalist troops, who have been trying to subdue the rebels in Mallorca Island, have been called to reinforce the troops on the mainland.
