PRESIDENT, IN OHIO SPEECH, DEFENDS WORK RELIEF PROGRAM SAVED PEOPLE FROM HUNGER, HE DECLARES Executive Speaks in Rain at Cincinnati; Heads to New York (Text of Roosevelt Speech at Detroit on Pare 15.) By GEORGE R. HOLMES CINCINNATI, Oct. 16 (1.N.5.). In a rain that alternated between a downpour and a heavy drizzle, j President Roosevelt initiated his Ohio campaign here today with praise of the Federal Work Relief program. Despite the weather, thousands of Cincinnatians, reinforced by delegations from nearby Indiana and Kentucky, lined the streets from Union Terminal to the Nip pert Stadium of the University of Cincinnati, where Mr. Roosevelt spoke. The site of the speech was a WPA project. The enlargement of the stadium, which was partly filled with a crowd of some 15,000 sheltered under umbrellas and at tired in slickers. Gets First "Razz" The Federal Government in augurated the works relief pro gram to put people to work be cause it was necessary to put people to work and it has been successful, he declared. It has saved people from being hungry, he said, and at the same time has maintained their self-respect. As the presidential motorcade rolled into the stadium a group of students wearing sunflowers, seg regated in one section set up the chant, "We want Landon, we want Landon." It was the first "razz" the Presi-1 dent has met with on his trip and he smiled broadly, as did Mrs. Roosevelt. Higher Living Standard It is not enough, Mr. Roosevelt said, that the Federal Government should simply prevent people from I starving--the Government must hold out to all the ideal of a living according to the American stand ard. As benfitting a State that prides itself on being the mother of Presidents. Ohio has a history of being fickle in its presidential preferences. Wilson carried it twice. Two years ago Mr. Roose velt carried it by only 74,000 in a total vote of more than two and a half million. In other years,! Ohio has given its electoral vote to the Republicans. Re inforced this year by a strong State ticket, the Republicans have high hopes of reversing the rela tively slim Roosevelt majority of 1932. Governor Landon has worked intensively on the State. The President invaded Ohio af ter a day's hard campaigning Michigan, which brought gratify-, ing evidence of support in half a dozen of the State's largest cities, from Grand Rapids to Detroit. From Cleveland tonight, Mr. Roosevelt swings into New York State to conclude his 10-day cam paign tour. Next week will find him in New England. --VOTE AMERICAN-- Gov.

His Los Angeles, New York City and St. Louis speeches will be broadcast on national radio hook ups. All others will be broadcast too, but possibly on lesser radio circuits. Republican chieftains, who ac companied Landon on his tour through Illinois, Ohio, Michigan and Indiana were jubilant over his decision to visit California. They applauded his political courage in making the trip to a State that the New Deal has been chiming ever since the campaign started. The governor's decision was reached after receipt of reports of surveys being taken in California that show a distinct swing in the last two weeks to the Lnndon banner. Landon came back to his guber natorial desk in the State House, full of fight and confidence. He received glowing forecasts from Republican leaders that he would win Illinois, Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. --VOTE AMERICAN-- Flaming Vessel in Port VICTORIA, B. C„ Oct. 16 (1.N.5.).

General de Llano said more than 90,000 are now tramping the streets of Madrid, where all schools are closed. Their parents are dead, at the front lines, or have fled from the city, he said. An earlier announcement from the same radio said 20 airplanes had bombarded Madrid, hitting the army barracks. Insurgent headquarters at Bur gos, supplementing General de Llano's statements about Oviedo's relief, said that the insurgents had previously made a successful sortie from the cathedral, ending the loy alists' bombardment and killing 200 of the besiegers.

For several days the in surgents have been within sight of the city. The offensive against El Escor ial is planned to bring the north ern wing of the insurgent army as close to Madrid as the central, j which reached Aldea de Fresno.' marking a 12-mile drive eastward from San Martin de Valdeiglesias. But it is no secret in French government circles that Belgium has feared a "red menace" from France ever since last June when the French revolutionary "folded arms" and occupation strikes J spread into Belgium, ushering in the leftist Blum regime. Loyalists lost 150 slain in the Fresno battle, only 25 miles from the capital. The next objective on this front probably will be Naval- varnero. Gen. Emilio Mola's forces in the r north, the insurgents announced, are awaiting the order to resume their push against Bilbao. McGregor Outlines Educational Aims Dr. D. A. McGregor, executive of the Episcopal national department of religious education, told 500 church school teachers who at tended the convention of the Church School Institute of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington last night that the one objective of their teaching was to bring children into closer Christian fel lowship with God and their fellows.

By DOROTHY KILGALLEN (Copyright, 1938, by International News Service and Sew York Evening Journal) MANILA, P. 1., Oct. 16 (1.N.5.). My first day in Manila found me blossoming out in a new role that of a taxi-dancer! During the enforced leisure here, while Leo Kieran and I wait for the China Clipper to pick us up for the transpacific hop, I have learned two new occupations that I can follow in case I ever decide to give up the tumultuous chron icling of life First, when we made our broad cast to America, I was told that I was a first-rate radio announcer, and last night at the banquet given in our honor by Alejandre Races, local newspaper publisher, I learned the technique of the dime-a-dance girls. Charges Dime a Dance After the dinner we went to Santa Ana, the biggest dance-floor in the world. I was inspired by the local dime-a-dance girls who sat in a ring around the floor, to charge the men in our party a dime a dance. In no time at all I made two dollars and ten cents, and found it much easier work than covering the New York police courts! The dinner party was a great success--it was the first really civilized meal we've encountered since the trip began, but I can't get used to taking it easy while our rival, H. R. Ekins, is almost 4,000 miles ahead of us, across the Pacific. Wating on Clipper Leo Kieran and I have to sit here waiting on the pleasure of the typhoon that got between us and the China Clipper. We had expected to rush aboard the Clipper as soon as we arrived here on the President Pierce from Hongkong. Instead, we found the plane had turned back to Guam in the face of the typhoon It's still waiting at Guam for the weather to clear, before it hops to Manila and turns around for the return trip.
