L.T. - SUNOCO. .FRIDM, SEPT. E4. 19S7. HJw Di-f jiL'T. tliere -vaa - m 'bit of personal drama at Cheyenne, Wyoming, today. President Hoosevelt♦s train pulled into town. There was a crowd and a committee to greet him, and he made a. brief address, Wyoming is the home state of Senator O'•Mahoney, who was one of the bit her opponents of the Presidential Supreme Court Plan. The Senator fought the White House project for court enlargement tooth and nail. Right now, he's back in Wyoming, 'and was at Cheyenne today. So what ato^t those two pcs anal i ties - the President and his 2 antagonist on the Court issue* There had been mush talk about a .Roosevelt vendetta against the Deraocrata In opposition, the White Hoa.se knife out for political scalps m A, of the reculci trants. So what about President Roosevelt and Senator C 'Malioney tod,av. f, The Senator says he was not invited by the President - but Vie vas on the welcoming cemmittoo. He was appointed oy the Cov ernor^ Turing the Pres id ent ial speech he stood with the c ommit tee am1 duly ap' lauded the Roosevelt remar us * Then ne the Presidential train.

Senator u •gallonoy was aboard and rode on to the next stop as a Presid en.tial gu e st • Ke says he cidn * t have much chance to talk to Mr. Roosevelt, everything was so busy and bustling. There was mere greetings. 'When the President saw his opponent on the court proposition - what did he say, '"You1 re looking fine, M quoth F. B. R. with a Roosevelt smile .and handshake. There was some talk about the Senator's wife, who has been ill - with Mrs. Roosevelt displaying, a womanly solicitude* That v.-as the pareonal angle - but what did the President ‘mve to say in his Cheyenne speech. The keyword was - coast, not seacoast, but coast as you do down a hill# He told the weateru cro-vd of four or five thousand that some friend of his had said - why not take it easy through his second term? After being, elected o . triumphantly, why get into a lot of turmoil ani battle^ Why not just coast through tua xsomsi second term^ The President said he turned down the ROOSEVELT - 3 advice, "I don't want to coast, and the Nation doesn't want me to coast," he added. And then he went on to say that he was going to ^ush ahead in his second term just as actively as he did in his first. Today in Wall Street there kshx was another decline in orlces. Stocks sank all along the line, and some believe that this was caused by the Cheyenne oromise of continued White House action, no coasting. (Mishap in acoustics prevented this broadcast from going on until 8 P.M. which follows.) NSW LEAD - 8:00 PM Perhaps you are wondering - some of you who were listening at 6:45 - wondering what happened when I suddenly went off the air. I myself am still wondering. For the first y± time in six years I was cut off because of some mechanical mishap along the line. So the National Broadcasting Company has invited me to give my 6:45 news broadcast now. When cut off I had just told about the President’s speech today at Cheyenne, Wyoming. So I won’t repeat that. And, by the way if you were wondering what haprened to me, I’m wondering what has hapoened to my friend Sir Hubert Wilkins. No word from him.

The Press Conference was held in the new office of the administrator of the unemployment, census, rather bare office, lots of files around, little furniture, one desk — it looked like efficiency. Administrator Biggera stated that the count of the uneraploymen t would be done by means of postcards 'elivered •in the ordinary way through the mails — an oversized kind of postcar^• Xt. woali liave 'to oe lar^e, "because it would oe th.e registration blank for the jobless to fill out, giving information about themselves.

The ap&x opinion among the newspapermen was that this was a bit optimistic. But anyway a huge job is being launched swiftly - to get full information about the unemployment situation in the United States. A hit big job to be done by Biggers. And they say that this census of the jobless wial we the beginning of long range government policy dealing with unemployment • KLUX.
