Content of Last
Speech Given
Text Paid Tribute to
Memory of Jefferson
By The Associated Press
ATLANTA, April 13-The lat
President Aoosevelt in a speech writ
ten the night before he died declare
Americans were determined ther
should not be a third world war.
The text of the speech, which the"
president was to have delivered by
radio tonight in observance of 350'
Jefferson Day dinnersthroughout
the nation, was handed to news-
men by presidential secretary Steve
Early as the funeral train paused in
Atlanta. The dinners have been
cancetled.
Early said Mr. Roosevelt would hav
delivered the speech without dis
closing that he was in Warm Springs
The text follows:
"Americans are gathered together
this evening in communities all over
the country to pay tribute to the liv-
ing memory of Thomas Jefferson-
one of the greatest of all democrats;
nd I want to make it clear that I am
spelling that word 'democrats' with a
sm~all 'D.,
"I wish I had the power, just for
this evening, to be present at all of
these gatherings.
"In this historic year, more than
ever before, we do well to consider
the character of Thomas Jefferson as
an American citizen of the world.
"As ronister to France, then as
our first Secretary of State and as
our third President, Jefferson was
instrumental in the establishment
of the United States as a vital fac-
tor in international affairs.
"It was he who first sent our navy
into far distant waters to defend our
rights. And the promulgation of the
Monroe doctrine was the logical de-
velopment of Jefferson's far-seeing
foreign policy.
"Today this nation which Jeffer-
son helped so greatly to build is play-
ing a tremendous part in the battle
for the rights of man all over the
world.
"Today we are part of the vast Al-
lied force-a force composed of flesh
and blood and steel and spirit-which
is today destroying the makers of war
the breeders of hate, in Europe and in
Asia.

Mystery Play's
Elaborate Sets
"There are more individual set
dressings in "Uncle Harry" than
there have been in the past plays
presented by Play Production," ac-
cording to Herbert Philippi, of the
speech department under whose dir-
ection the sets were constructed.
Mr. Philippi, who also designed the
sets, ascribes the elaborateness of the
scenes to the fact that the period in
which the story takes place, the
early 1900's, was one of ornate tastes.
Consequently the Quincey living
room, home of Uncle tarry and his
two sisters, has been painstakingly
erected and is complete with knick-
knacks, numerous paintings, and
treasured articles of the two old
spinsters.
There are three different sets of
"Uncle Harry",each scene requiring
a change of sets. The stage crews
must make an entire change in one
and a half minutes between the twoI
scenes comprising each act of the
three-act play. This is done with the
aid of two flying units and one per-
manent set. The sets were built by
the Stagecraft and Play Production
students under the guidance of Mr.
Philippi.
The murder thriller will be per-
formed for the last time tonight at
8:30 p. in. EWT (7:30 p. m. CWT)

'President Was Almost
Assassinated in 1933.
MIAMI, Fla., April 13.- ()-
When news of President Roosevelt's
death reached police headquarters
here Thursday, veteran officers re-
called the night of Feb. 15, 1933-17
days before the first Roosevelt inaug-
uration-when an assassin's bullets
nearly cost the then President-elect
his life.
Mr. Roosevelt had addressed a
crowd of 25,000 from his car in Bay-
front Park, when Giuseppe Zangara,
a naturalized Italian bricklayer, fired
a pistol at the car.
Mayor Anton J. Cermak of Chi-
cago was wounded fatally and four
other persons received less seriousl
wounds, but the President was not
hit.
Crying that he had tried to kill
Roosevelt "because my stomachE
hurts," and because he hated "capi-
talists", Zangara was convicted of
first degree murder and electrocuted.1
When Roosevelt visited Cermak in
the hospital here, the Chicago mayor
said: "I'm glad it was me and not
you."
