THE MICHIGAN DAILY Summer Home Of Roosevelts Is Beauty Spot 'Kriim Elbow' Overlooks The Hudson In Typic4l American Setting By WALTER T. BROWN HYDE PARK, . Y., July 27.-UP) --Few, if any, of the "summer White Houses" of the Presidents have had a more beautiful or a more typical American setting than Krum Elbow, the Hudson river estate of President Roosevelt, where he is spending part of this summer. The Roosevelt home, which is the property of the President's widowed mother, Mrs. James Roosevelt, over- looks the broad Hudson river from a bend in which it gets its name. A series of hills drop easily from te velvety lawn of the estate to the river level tracks of the New York Central. Beyond the emerald hills on the% west shore are the irregular peaks of the Catskill mountains. Hidden in Foliage The Roosevelt house sets well back from' the tree-arched Albany Post road. In summer foliage hides the house ,from the highway. An unpre- tentious gateway, creaking a low stone fence, opens the way into the grounds. When Mr. Roosevelt is at home a small marker is set up. His mother hit upon that idea to convey to the countryside that her son was at home to his many friends of the neighborhood. There is little formal lidscaping on the place. The house is Colonial, with a ground planslike a Roman numeral one. The -center portion is of stucco, and the wings, which were added by the Presidents father,ware of stone. 1'any Kinds of Trees Reforestation and tree culture, which has been given a part in na- tional ireconstruction, has been prac- ticed for 15 years by Mr. Roosevelt. Virtually every variety of tree that thrives in New York is grown but the President specializes in timber that finds a ready Market. 'Cord- wood, pilings and cross ties come out of his groves. There are 1,250 acres in the Roose- velt farhi. The ValKill furniture factory, begun by Mrs. Roosevelt to absorb surplus labor of the commun- ity,g is in one corner of atheestate. A cottage adjoining the factory, was designedsby the President and built under his direction. Three Rooms For Working In front of the cottage is a swim- ming pool. Trees shade the lawn at one end of the pool. There in sun- mer the Roosevelts and their guests gather for tea. Often the whole party is in bathing suits and the tea follows a swim and a polo game. Mr. Roosevelt usually is a player. There are three work rooms in the old mansion. - Before he arises Mr. Roosevelt reads mail, dictates letters and talks with callers 'whose prob- lems are urgent. At either end of the house, in the stone wings, Mr. Roosevelt has work desks. One is in a tiny office and the other in the large library. A long hallway stretches across the front of the house at the entrance. The dining room and a music room open off the hall. Living quarters are on the second floor. Mr. Roosevelt rides horseback over his estate but more often inspects it from an automobile, which he drives. This year a new machine, gift of a manufacturer, replaces the somewhat dilapidated motor that served him for the past few yeais. These Men Are Guiding The Drive Against The Depression Hit Legis4ature For Neglecting Education Duty (Continued from. Pag;e 1) commend the President's efforts toh eliminate child labor in industry, however." Crime and delinquency among the: thousands of children who will be de- prived of the care and training of the school by the shut-down of hun- dreds of Michigan schools for from three to six months will be materially increased, ccordig to the report. "Citizens should seriously cons Aer the tremendous cost and danger to the State resulting from a criminal class and should co-operate in efforts to prevent any increase in crime and delinquency among juveniles," it says. Public Opinion Juggled Skillful and secret manipulation of public opinion by minority interests frequently interferes with the natural development of a favorable attitude toward schools, it is said in the find- ings. "The quality, scope, and support of education in any community bears 'a direct relation to the degree of en- lightenment of public opinion. It is therefore the civic duty of school boards, teachers, and. public welfare organizations to serve children by in- forming the public of the work of schools, the true facts of school costs, and the effects of proposed changes," the committee states. "Individuals hoping to advance selfish and political ambitions through misrepresentation of the Mo- tives of professional organizations, committed to a program of advanc- ing the welfare of children, should be combatted by teachers? giving in- creased support to these organiza- tions," the writers say. Questions Campaign Sources "The source of funds for cam- paigns against public education and the real motives behind these cam- paigns should be a part of common knowledge just as much as certain individuals should be allowed to sys- tematically attack public school ex- penditures, activities, and objectives, and any individual or any organiza- tion undoubtedly has the right to advocate changes in public expendi- tures and policies, it is stated in the report. "The friends of public education, should demand full exposure of the motives underlying these attacks," the report says in conclusio'n.

English Town Celebrates Centenary Of Famed Son HULL, England, July 27.-)- Hull is recalling her famous son, William Wilberforce, on the centen- ary of his death, which occurred in London July 29, 1833. Wilberforce, philanthropist, states- man and orator, gained lasting fame as a foe of slavery. By his eloquence, courage and tenacity he is credited with having done more than any other individual to bring about the abolition, of- slavery throughout the British empire. Entering parliament from Hull in 1780, he labored through long years. The emancipation bill was passed a month after his death. Xf .you write, we have it.

Gone, however, are the old tents with their flapping. flies; gone the beds made on strawticks on the tent floor; gone is the old tent laboratory and the old mess tent where stu- dents and faculty alike fought mos- quitoes and blackflies with one hand while they plied fork or spoon with tIe other. Gone is the old kitchen with holes in the walls for light and ventilation. In their places are comrortable, well-lightedlaboratories, good cabins with good beds, screened doors and windows; a modern kitchen with hotel ranges, electric refrigerators, electric dish washer, food mixer, elec- tric peeler, and other improvements. No change, however, has been of greater importance than that in transportation. In the early days of the station, walking and rowing were the only means of getting out to places where field work was to be done. Now the station owns three trucks, two launches, and a dozen row boats. Where formerly students did all their work within a radius of five miles of the station, this radius is now about 30 miles, while one class each summer makes a trip to Sleep- ing Bear Dune, 130 miles away. Old observers state that one thing, wholly intangible, remains the same. That is the fine spirit which pervades the place. The station welcomes the oppor- tunity to acquaint its friends with its nature and functions at the An- nual Visitors Day, Aug. 6. There will be many exhibits, all of which are free. There will be plenty of park- ing space, help in parking, and free guide service to all places of inter- est. The station will be open from 2 to 5 p. m.

Japanese Wair Leader Passes At Age Of 63 TOKIO, July 27.-()-Field Mar- shall Nobuyoshi Muto, Japapese su- preme representative in Manchuria, died in Changchun,. Manchuria, to- day following a sudden attack of jaundice. He was 63 years old. Immediately the army moved swift- ly to name a successor to forestall the possibility of trouble during an interregnum in the 'Japanese-spon- sored Manchukuo government in Manchuria, and named Gen. Takashi Hishikari, a member of the supreme war council, as his successor. The Mikado's new proconsul in the continental protectorate has been an officer in the Japanese army for 40 years and is experienced in overseas campaigns. At one time he headed the garrison at Formosa. Marshal Muto, who never was ro- bust, returned to Changchun July 22 after becoming tired of supervising maneuvers at Port Arthur and Muk- den. He succumbed to jaundice and complications 24 hours after the seriousness of the illness was realized. Gen. Hishikari will proceed to Changchun as soon' as possible to assume the duties of chief preceptor to Manchuria's nominal ruler, Henry Pu-Yi. Gen. Muto was posthumously cre- ated a baron. WEED GETS TRIMMING WASHINGTON, July 27 -(P)-As a result of what it terms monopoly practices and high tariffs 'the Uni- ted States department of agriculture estimates that 150,000,000 pounds of American tobacco were displaced by the product of other countries in 1932. Labor Speaker Says Capital Fears Mooney "Tom Mooney is in jail because the capitalistic class fears his power as a labor leader," said Arthur Bishop, member of the Proletarian Party, who, in a meeting of radical and liberal organizations held last night in Natural Science Auditorium, stressed the need for a militant work- ing class attack on the whole capital- ist system. Tom Mooney was not a revolution- ist in the strict sense of the word, said Mr. Bishop, but earned the hat- red of the owning classes as a result of his efforts to organize workers in California, who were receiving $2.50 for 10 hours labor. The owning classes in California, through their control of the courts and public opinion, had little diffi- culty in placing the guilt of bombing a Preparedness Day parade on Tom Mooney, said Mr. Bishop, who de- clared that the Mooney trial was "the most dispicable frame-up ever pulled off in the history of American juris- prudence." By a dictaphone placed in the prosecuting attorney's office, and by the confession of perjury on the part of the witnesses, and by the proof that the explosion was caused by a German spy, the innocence of Tom Mooney has been established beyond any reasonable doubt, the speaker claimed. The ideals held out to the people by the capitalistic class range from intense patriotism to that of obtain- ing personal wealth, he declared. The small opportunity for a working man to obtain wealth was pointed out by Mr. Bishop, and also the great risks of losing the wealth once it has been obtained. Mr. Bishop expressed doubt that the capitalist class would ever free Tom Mooney or would do much to improve the working class.

Inactive since 1930, when he w beaten by Chiang Kai-Shek, genr7 alissimo of the Nanking nationa = o regime, he has reappointed on Llu' stage in the self-assumed role o' savior of his country from the arn!! tions of Japan and the latter's .- ter state of Manchukuo. Feng rallied an army .in Chahar. northwest of Peiping, a\id saidl was going to regain Jehol, recentl annexed by dint of Japaneseto to Manchuk~uo." He moved up to To : lunnoerh, near the eastern border of Chahar. The response was a notice to Na- king by the Japanese that une> she Chinese nationalist governme:I drove Feng out of this advanced po- ;ition, the Japanese themselves woul ito so. Cbnsequently Nanking liar started a punitive expedition ains :eng, declaring him a rebel. Chiang Kai-Shek, Feng's foi me zonqueror, gave. up a cammign igainst communiist armies to tk. charge of the new drive. The Nanking view is that Fens action may give the Japanese an excuse to penetrate Inner Mongolia. perhaps to take Kalgan or even o 'beyond that terminal of car.:v%- routesleading to soviet territory. The nationalists recall the fra ty expressed -hopes of Japanese corn-: inanders that such a campaign m be undertaken as a sequel to 'onquest of Jehol. Since then no- ern China from Peiping to the Gre Wall has been demilitarized und terms of a truce between Tokyo ad Nanking. When one gets sick while riding a train, a seaship, and airship, or evn in a swing, that is what the scie ikes. to call "motion sickness." I lue mainly to a change in o sense of equilibrium.
