SI’EtKS IN NEW YORK CITY Mr. Roosevelt Warns Listeners To Redouble Efforts. Accorded A Rousing Welcome. NEW YORK, Oct. 5, (UP)—The hardest part of the fight for national recovery is ahead, hut the courage of the American people will bring coinplot' victory. President Franklin D. Roosevelt told the dosing session of the national conference of Catholic charities last night. The chief executive warned that “it is for us to redouble our efforts, to care for those who must still depend upon relief, to prevent the disintegration i f home life, and to stand by the vi tints of the depression until it is definitely past.’’ Credit for what already has been accomplished must be given to the people of the country because of their warmhearted response, rather than to the administration’s leadership, he
said.
“Not for a moment have 1 doubted that we would climb out of the valley of gloom,” Mr. Roosevelt told the ;{,00b conference delegates. '‘Always have I been certain that we would conquer, because the spiiit of America always springs from faith—faith in the beloved institutions of our land, and a true and abiding faith in the divine guidance of God.” The president recalled that just seven months ago to the day he took the cath of office at Washington. ‘‘1 believed then, and I know now that our people would support defin- | ite action that sought the goal of I giving eveiy man his due,” he said. I Cheering which greeted Mr. Roosci volt’s arrival in the ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria hotel was redoubled when he paused on his way to the platform to chat with former Governor Alfred E. Smith. Mr. Roosevelt warned his listeners that the federal government while aiding materially in welfare relief, does not intend to assume the entire
job.

PRESS FREEDOM ENDED BERLIN, Oct. 5 (UP)—Freedom of the press ended in Germany today with promulgation of the first of six sections of the new press law.The law, drafted by Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, minister of propaganda, declares editors and members of editorial staffs of newspapers, periodicals and nows agencies must uphold unreservedly the rightness of
the present regime.
The section that became law today ruled specifically that newspapers no longer were organs of free opinion but must be classed with the radio, theater and schools. Newspapers and periodicals comprise public institutions spiritually influencing the
nation, the law said.
Morgan To Use Gas Tax For Road Bonds
At I ION BASED ON SUIT APPEALED FROM PUTNAM CIRCUIT COURT
RUSH TROOPS jt TO SCENE OF . MINE BATTLE
PICKETS? AND GUARDS FIGHT WITH RIFLES AND MACHINE GUNS
The Daily Reporter of Martinsville says the action of the Morgan county tax adjustment board in providing a levy to pay only the interest and overdraft- on township macadam road bonds is based partly on the theory that eventually all road bonds iind interest may be paid out of the gasoline tax money, according to County Auditor Sartor. This belief re-lilts from the ruling of Judge Donner in the Putnam circuit court upholding a suit requiring payment of road bonds and interest from the gasoline tax money. This case has been appealed to a higher court. If sustained it will enable the payment of these bonds without additional tax levies. With this possibility in mind, and to hold the tax levies to the lowest possible figure, payment of interest and overdrafts only was provided for. payments on the principal being
deferred.
Under a new law passed by the las* general assembly, all township loads are placed under the supervision of the county, thus becoming a part of i the county system. The payment of bonds and interest • •ii county unit road- out of the gasoline tax money was authorized by the adjustment hoard.
