(Text of Roosevelt Speech, Page Five)

YOSEMITE, Cal. July 15 (U. P).| —Franklin D. Roosevelt became a tourist for a day today After an easy overnight ride from San Francisco, where the President received the greatest ovation of his transcontinental trip, the Prasiden- | tial train reached El Portal, picturesque entrance to Yosemite National Park | The President and his party departed by automobile for a sightseeing tour of California's most scenic wonderland—a huge glacial gorge 4000 feet up in the Sierras Mr. Roosevelt will leave Yosemite at 8 p. m. (Indianapolis Time) for an overnight trip to Los Angeles I'he President vesterdayv, after his arrival in San Francisco, gave a major speech at Treasure Island taking his keynote from the battle fleet of 63 ships arrayed in the harbor Urges Arms Reduction

He sounded a call for world armament reduction and extended a blanket invitation to the powers to Join America in such an effort. | “We fervently hope,” he said, “for the day when other leading nations of the world will realize that their present course must inevitably lead to disaster. We stand to meet them and encourage them in any efforts they may make toward a definite reduction in world armament.” I'he President deplored huge spending for armaments but offered the observation that the American financial outlay for such purposes was far less than that cf other powers “Money spent on armaments does create permanent incomeproducing wealth, and about the only satisfaction we can take out | of the present world situation is that the proportion of our national income that we spend on armaments is only a quarter or a third of the proportion that most of the other great nations of the world are spending at this time.”

A few hours later Mr. Garner | formally released his Texas delegation. California, likewise pledged to Mr. Garner, went with it. And | that night Mr. Roosevelt was nom- | inated. { It is notable in this first installment of Mr. Farley's story that he speaks often and rather unkindly of Mr. McNutt, one of the Chicago convention stars who today is a candidate for Democratic Presi- | dential nomination in 1940. Mr. | Farley's first story seems to emphasize that Mr. McNutt was judged by the Roosevelt-Farley camp to | have been at least unfriendly in 1932.

Relates Indiana Situation

“We thought McNutt of Indiana was on our side,” Mr. Farley wrote, “until he declined to help us get an instructed delegation.”

And again: “Early in June (1932) I hurried | out for a last-minute pep talk to In-| diana leaders who were to hold their | state convention a week later, the last one in the country. The state | had 30 votes in the national conven- | tion, and how I wanted those votes! | On my stop in Indianapolis on my wav to the Elks convention I had reported back to Governor Roosevelt and Louis McH. Howe that all the leaders were friendly, but it was | evident that someone was ‘giving us | the foot’ and it seemed impossible | to locate just who it was.” Later Mr. Farley had a letter from | Mr. McNutt refusing to permit the Indiana convention to be instructed | for Mr. Roosevelt, and after the convention met: “The test balloting had revealed that Illinois and 1ndiana were relining up almost solidly with the opposition. Indiana was especially dis-

appointing.”

Farley Quotes McNutt Mr. Farley concludes his scat!er-

ing fire on MeNutt with this ob-

| servation on the situation after the |

convention had balloted thrice and was about to meet for a fourth bal- | lot on which Mr. Roosevelt won: “The afternoon papers carried all sorts of predictions. Among ot ners | was a statement by Paul MeNutt | voile had been disappointing and that otherwise Indiana would have led the bandwagon parade. McNutt was quoted as saving: “ ‘Not only were we in a position to do Roosevelt some good with our votes, but our action would have brought haif a hundred more.” The repeated and extended references to McNutt were judged here to mean that Mr. Farly might use his influence against the High Commissioner’s Presidental aspirations,

SANITATION BOARD GETS WPA REPORT
