PLATFORM TAKING FORM

National Action For Limited Work Week and Stable Employment Seen

President Roosevelt’s 1936 model new platform began to shape itself before the campaign year electorate as hig.re-election candidacy pointed toward primary tests in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.

The president has sketched some essentials on hig platform in two eastern speeches. He will add to thin in early June during a pre-con-vention speaking in Indiana, Arkansag and Texas. One June 27 at Phila -delphia—it is safe to predict—the for mally adopted platform of the Demo cratic party will be endorsed and interpreted by Mr. Roosevelt at ceremonies at which he will agcept renomination for the presidency. The retent Baltimore speech and the address of last Saturday in New ‘ York provided Mr. Roosevelt with sev eral choices. He could have ripped into his opposition and advised the

walk-out brigade of Democratic bolters to run instead. But the speeches avoided personalities to lay down %u--ture policies to be carried out if the new Deal wins again. Republican critics see the end of a “breathing spell” in the Roosevelt platform as it is taking shape. Observers generally believe Mr. Roosevelt would accept re-election in 1936 as a mandate to continue with socalled experiments fo “rebuild” America by national planning and pational action. The program as revealed in the Wew York speech particularly indicates the New Deal feud with ‘“‘horse and buggy” interpretations of the Constitution ha‘l not ended even though it may not be given direct emphasis in the Demeocratic platform. On the basis of the two speeches. Mr. Roosevelt's 1936 platform appears to include these planks: 1. National action for a limited work week stable employment and adequate minimum wages. 2. Encouragement of higher minimum and lower maximu working age to remove juvenile and senile labor from payrolls. -

3. National attack on economic and social problems. 4. A wider distribution of a greater national income. 5. Maintenance of policleg lntenied to increase price levels—a cheapening of the dollar in terms of comcodities.
