OVER WORLD-WIDE
RADIO NETWORK
225 U. S. Stations
Carry Broadcast
Throughout Nation
By WALTER KLEEMAN
Through 15 microphones, over 225
radio stations, from eight newsreel
cameras, and over 20 telegraph wires
representing nearly one hundred
members of the press, President
Roosevelt's speech yesterday was re
layed in six languages from Woollen
gymnasium to America and the
world.
The NBC Blue network, compris
ing over 100 stations, and the entire
CBS network of 116 stations carried
the broadcast in addition to various
independent stations, among them the
facilities which all through tonight
and tomorrow will be busy sending
translations of the chief executive's
speech to the principal countries of
the world over short waves. Spanish,
French, German, Italian, and Rus
sian translations will be sent out
from both NBC and CBS short wave
stations.
MUTUAL ABSENT
In Radio Guide this week there
was a write-up mentioning the fact
that the Mutual Broadcasting sys
tem would also carry the talk, but
there were no representatives of ..that
company in the gymnasium. When
the NBC engineers were asked
whether Mutual was broadcasting
the speech they immediately called
New York over the special telegraph
wire installed in the gym for their
use, and found the two national net
works were the only ones carrying
the -broadcast. , - '
In order to make sure that no in
terruption was likely to occur in
transmission if a defect in equipment
forced it, both CBS and NBC had
two identical sets of transmission
equipment in the gymnasium. Extra
microphones lay on the tables before

Although the four-year school was
okayed by the six-member group
there was a division as to the loca

University campus.
O. M. Mull of Shelby and Dr. B.

two, attached dissenting statements,

had promised a large donation from

F. D. R. Lauds Progressiveness Of University
By JIM McADEN
Sanctioning the progressiveness of the University as well as
defending his own liberalism, President Franklin Delano Roose
velt yesterday spoke to an audience of over 12,000 students and
visitors in Woollen gymnasium, delivering his address under
sponsorship of the Carolina Political union.
A spasmodic drizzle which began late Sunday night drove the
crowd indoors to the gymnasium, which was filled to capacity
one hour before the chief executive arrived in Chapel Hill. Part
of the overflow crowd found seats in Memorial hall, to which the
' ; -presidential speech was relayed.
GILMORE LEAVES
FOR WASHINGTON
WITH PRESIDENT
CPU Chairman
Interviews Chief
Executive On Train
The Daily Tar Heel received the
following telegram late last night:
Aboard President's Special
President Roosevelt told me as we
sat alone in his special train en
route to Washington from Durham
tonight that he has rarely spoken
to a ; group he enjoyed any more
than the students of North Caro
lina who heard him in Woollen gym- fa
nasium at Chapel Hill this' after
noon. The President said "it was a
grand gathering," and said he hoped
some day he could come back to
the Carolina Political Union plat
form and participate in a typical
CPU open forum.
He said he was impressed by the
large number of students from not
only Chapel Hill, but every North
Carolina high school and college as
well. He particularly noticed the
spirit of the occasion as manifested
by the Duke flag hung high in the
gymnasium.
The President told me that he
heartily approves the work of the
CPU . in letting America's young
people hear every viewpoint on cur
rent social and political issues.
Voit Gilmore.
Carolina Political Union Chairman
Voit Gilmore left Chapel Hill yester
day evening as a special guest aboard
the President's special train en route
to Washington.
. Gilmore was extended the invita
tion three days ago by Marvin H. Mc
Intyre, acting in the name of the
President.
On the trip, the political union
head is expected to converse with
President Roosevelt, Harry L. Hop
kins, Marvin Mcltnyre and other, of
ficials, concerning the CPU and its
activities and to obtain the views of
these men toward the union and any
ideas they might have in connection
with future activities of the group.
In Washington, where he plans to
remain for about three days, Gilmore
will re-establish contacts with Miss
Frances Perkins and Robert S. Al
len, who are scheduled to appear here
as CPU speakers during the next
quarter. He also plans to form new
contacts with various people and
groups in the capitol and attempt to
line up future guests for the union.
It was not known last night whether
or not Gilmore will be a White House
guest during his Washington visit.
Phi Holds Regular
Elections Tonight
Election of officers for the spring
quarter will be held by the Phi as
sembly tonight at 7:15 in New East.
All officers will be elected except
the secretary-treasurer. These include
the speaker, who must be a senior or
graduate student and an active mem
ber; the speaker pro tern, a junior
or senior; a sergeant-at-arms, sopho
more or junior; and a reading clerk,
sophomore or coed. A Ways and
Means committee of three members
will also be elected.
The President claimed that "It is
only the unthinking liberals in this
world who see nothing but tragedy in
the slowing up or temporary stopping
of liberal progress.
"It is only the unthinking conser
vatives who rejoice when a social or
economic reform fails to be 100 per
cent successful," he continued. Roose
velt claimed that only persons of

"headline" mentality fail to realize
the true purposes of those who try
to carry out their liberal beliefs.
CHALLENGE TO YOUTH
The address, which lasted approxi
mately 25 minutes, was taken by
many of those present as a challenge
to the youth of the-country to take
up the cause of liberalism since "lib
eral forces in the United States have
often been killed and buried with the
inevitable result that in short order
they have come to life again with
more strength than they had before."
Roosevelt traced the development of
liberalism from the time of George
Washington, bringing out that the
cause had been rejuvenated each time
that the nation had reached a critical
stage in its development brought on
by lack of tolerance and a national
point of view.
Claiming that opportunity to find
economic security is open to youth, he
said that this same youth believes
that better days are ahead for the
United States than ever before.
DEMOCRACY BEST FOR U. S.
In his only reference to the foreign
situation, the chief executive admit
ted that regimented people may find
happiness at the will of one man, but
it is his strong conviction that the
democratic processes upon which this
country was founded and has thrived
can best serve the well-being of Unit
ed States citizens.
A major part of the CPU's third
anniversary celebration program was
taken up with the citation of Presi
dent Roosevelt for a Doctor of Laws
degree by University President Frank
Porter Graham, which followed Dean
R. B. House's presentation of the
President as a candidate for the
honor. 1
