Roosevelt Cites
Power Benefits
For Snail Toms
Declares Cost of Living
Becomes Too High In
Cities That Are Over
! grown; Says Nation's
Budget To Balance In
Year
Bonneville Dam, Ore., Sept. 28.?
President Roosevelt visualized today,
at this towering generator of elec
tricity, the upbuilding through power
of the nation's small communities.
Large cities, he said, might grow
"unhealthily" at the expense of
smaller neighbors. He recommended
study and planning, and described
as "misleading and utterly untrue,"
statements that a nation divided into
planning regions?little TVA'S?was
heading toward "totalitarian or au
thoritarian or some other kind of
dangerous national centralized con
trol."
He added that he did not under
stand the terms "but they sound aw
fully big."
' He said the $51,000,000 cost of
Bonneville Dam across the Columbia
river "will be returned to the peo
ple many times over."
He expressed the thought it was
wiser for the United States to spend
its wealth on such projects, than on
armaments.
------ ?? mi rv
"As I look upon JSonneviue yam
today," he said, "I cannot help the
thought that instead of spending, as
some nations do, half their national
income in piling up armaments and
more armaments for purposes of
war, we in America are wiser in
using our wealth on projects like
this which will give us more wealth,
better living and greater happiness
for our children."
Sees Balanced Budget.
Parenthetically, he said he expect
ed to have the national budget bal
anced by the next fiscal year.
The speech, the first formal talk
of his two week's transcontinental
tour, totalled less than 2,000 words.
It was delivered from a bunting
and flag-decked stand at the dam
administration building.
After the address, the President
was taken on a motor tour of the
mammoth power and navigation
project and on to Timberline Lodge
in Mount Hood National Forest. He
returned to his train at Vancouver,
Wash., late in the afternoon and
arrived at Seattle tonight.
In a brief dedication speech at
the $650,000 government-built Tim
berline Lodge, the President cited
the importance of the forest serv
ice is preserving national resources.
Timber resources conservation, hus
banding of waters at its source, miti
gation of floods and prevention of
soil erosion were mentioned.
The President linked cattle
ranches of eastern Oregon with in
dustrial development at Bonneville
as actually benefitted by forest and
water conservation.
Northwest prosperity, he predict
ed, will in large part nest upon these
policies of conservation.
He will spend tomorrow at the
home of his son-in-law and daugh
ter, Mr. and Mrs. John Boettiger in
Seattle.
Mr. Roosevelt was introduced by
Governor Charles H. Martin of Ore
gon, who said he told the President
when the dam was authorized that
he was "sending a new Lewis and
Clark Expedition to rediscover the
Northwest."
The President was applauded
when he said he did not agree with
those who hold that individuals have
the right to do anything they wish
with their property; again when he
said he was for wider distribution
of power, and loudly when he pre
dicted the national budget would be
balanced soon.
He departed from his text at one
point to predict more dams would
be built on the Columbia and its
tributaries.

Soviet Ambassador flies i
from China on Secret ?
Mission to Moscow \
Nanking, Sept. 29.?Soviet Ambas- 'j
Bador Dimitri V. Bogomolov was fly- ,
ing to moscow in a specially charter- ^
ed airplane today to discuss "urgent
diplomatic matters" with his govern- (
naent and reports were widely circa- y
lated that China has offered Russia i
widespread concessions in return for c
Soviet military assistance in her war (
with Japan. t
The ambassador left the airport e
at Wuhu, 50 miles southwest of this
capital, shortly before it was bombed t
by Japanese planes which raided a ?
dozen cities in the Nanking area e
throughout yesterday, killing or j
wounding scores of additional Chinese c
civilians. ' j
He is flying over the new airline t
between Nankink and Moscow open- E
ed a month ago and Bhould reach the t
Soviet capital within four days. t
Military Pact Likely. i
Reports that he will submit a (
Chinese proposal to the Russian gov- g
ernment for a general Chinese-Rus- ^
si an military pact could not be con
firmed.
Diplomats, however, were inclined i
to believe they were correct and ?
pointed to these facts to substanti- j
ate them. j
1. Russia has announced that she <
will fight to protect her control of \
outer Mongolia, which she virtually (
annexed from China after the Young j
Mongol revolution of 1922-24, and j
that control now is menaced by the i
penetration of Japenese armies into f
inner Mongolia northwest of Peiping. t
2. Russian military and economic
penetration of China's sparsely set- (
tied northwest has been proceeding i
apace for the last 10 years, but it t
now stands to be eliminated if the t
Japanese push into this region is (
continued. > x
8. The action of the Chinese gov- |
ernment in making peace T.rith the
Chinese Communist party, which j
now is incorporated in Generalissomo }
Chaing Kai-Shek's all-China anti- ,
Japanese front has strengthened the j
hands of those factions in both the
Nanking and Moscow governments ?
which favor a resumption of the -
Chinese-Russian cooperation which (
existed from 1924-27 during the pe- ,
riod wljen General Vassili Bluecher, ,
now commander of the Soviet Far |
East army, was chief military adviser j
to China, (
The Chinese Foreign Office an
nounced Ambassador Bogomolov's ,
departure last night and the Soviet j
Embassy confirmed it, announcing ]
that he was summoned home to dis- i
cuss "urgent diplomatic matters." ,
There were no indications that the ]
ambassador's plane was menaced at ,
Wuhu as he apparently left the air
port there several hours before the ,
Japanese bombing squadrons ap- ,
peared. ,
All the attacks were concentrated ,
on Chinese airdromes, munitions fac- i
tories, radio stations, and railways. ]

Up to the present time no candi
late has a lead in this campaign
vhich he or she can rightfully boast
ibout. A new candidate can enter,
>r a slow startirtg one can get start
ed off with" a few days of real de
ermined work, take a lead over the
entire field of contestants.
Why is it when such an opportuni
y presents itself that you duck
tround some corner of "not time
enough" and then when all is over
rou again cry that opportunity never
eome your way. The truth is, all
rou need is to get started. Some
imes candidates get off to a slow

he first few times and they haven't

Different from the plan followed
n most projects of this nature, the

'Double Credit" offers, "Speed 'Em

n fact the subscriptions are decided
