Those are the facts. - But, whether Mr. Ickes’ Texas appearance is coincidental or was arranged thoughtfully ‘to enaple him to play a part in the third-term boom there, remains to be seen.

Postmaster General James A. Farley also goes traveling this week through a dozen or so|statés, including Texas, on Post Office business and politics.

candidacy will benefit | from the journey. Mr: Roosevelt says nothing of his. own plans.

Rep. Gerald W. Landis, Seventh District Republican and member of the steering committee for the ‘Townsend Plan, put a long speech

No one knows what this amount will be.” “We should be willing to fry the Townsend Plan out for one year.” '

As an old-time newspaperman, Rep. Louis Ludlow, Twelfth District Democrat,” wrote his own story of how he is trying to get a new Federal postoffice and servicé building for Indianapolis costing $1,825,000. The last line of that story read: “It is believed that in any event
