There has been a steady increase in the number of cases under super vision every month since inaugura tion of the system: and it is still im possible for either Director Sample or anyone else to forecast when the "saturation point" will be reached with terminations approximately equalling probations each month.

Hut he explained, as Mrs. Roose velt an hour or so earlier, that the times were so fraught wi'li danger that he would be unable to devote much time to the campaign. "But I shall never be loath", he said, "to call the attention of the nation to deliberate or unwitting falsifications of fact which are sometimes made by political candi dates." Then he continued in a grave tone: "If our government passes to other hands next January—untried hands, inexperienced hands—we can mere ly hope and pray that they will not substitute appeasement and com promise with those who seek to de stroy all democracies everywhere."

Friends have said she did not want her husband to run. that her per sonal wish was to retire to the quiet of the Hudson Valley.
