Cellars of churches, homes and some business estab¬ lishments on the east side of Slocum «treet were similarly flooded. Traffic was tied up on some lines of Wilkes-Barre Railway for more than an hour, while service on the Laurel Line between Wilkes-Barre and Plains was Impaired for a longer period of time. The tracks were flooded at several points. Dur¬ ing the storm, motormen travelled at a snail's pace, the fierce rainfall nearly cutting oft the operator's vision. Trolley CrMhea Pola An outbound Heights trolley car, operated by Archie Weiss, smashed a switch at the corner of East Market and South Washington streets at the height of the storm, the rear end swinging Into a steel light standard. Two windows and a door were smashed. Two passen¬ gers were In the car and one, Walter Shafer, 147 South Main street, suffered an Injured ankle. He refused medical attention, it was reported. The pole was bent considerably and a street lamp was shattered. Tivo Larksville trolleys left their tracks, mud washing down from the mountain below Snyder's Cor¬ ner section.

The directors discussed their legislative problems with Judge Thomas F. Farrell in his chambers yesterday. Four of the directors, John J. Machinist, Dominick Wycavage, Edward Bultruchitis and Thomas J. Little, over a month ago forme' a new majority leaving out Dr, J. J. Zawadzki, William V. Sullivan and James Brislin, who have been In control of the district for the past several years. Dr. Zawadzki, after his removal from the post of secretary, refused to turn over the records to Thomas J. Little, his successor, on the ground* that the meeting resulting in changes was illegal. Go to Court Attorney Edgar Lar*, achool board solicitor, on behalf of the controlling group, entered court with a petition requesting an order that the records of the district be turned over to the newly elected officers.

(UP)—Dizzy Dean, onetime problem pitcher of the St. Louis Cardinals, threatened today to sue the St. Louis club for $250,000 on grounds that they In¬ jured his pitching arm by over¬ work and made it virtually use¬ less to the Chicago Cubs. Once he had made up his mind to try to sue his former employers, Dizzy drew up a request for advice from Baseball Commissioner K. M. Landis and said he'd proceed the minute he hears from the white- haired czar. Landis Silent Landis refused even to mention Dean's name. He declined to say whether there was anything in the baseball law on which Dean might base such a case and parried all questions with the same phrase: "I've got nothing to say about it." Other baseball experts, however, believed Dean had no basis for a damage suit. Cubs ofHcials appar¬ ently weren't even interested, since the matter lay directly between Dean and the Cardinals. Diz came to the Cubs on the eve to be demoted, it should be done [ of the 1938 National League opener according to the provisions of the school code. Dr. J. J. Zawadzki, former secre¬ tary, indicated that the records will be available to pay the teach¬ ers and other school employees. Thomas J.

(UP)—The United Automobile Workera union, cut into three factions by a dis¬ ciplinary ax which struck at five international officers, appeared to¬ night to be headed for a showdown, with John L.

Scranton Youth Dies Instantly As Freight Elevator Falls i Trapped beneath a freight ele¬ vator while at work In the cellar of a Scranton market, Stanford Harrison, 15, 1038 Farber Court, Scranton, was crushed to death shortly after five oclock yesterday afternoon. Harrison, a freshman at Tech¬ nical High School, was bagging potatoes at the Giant market at Ash street and Ridge avenue when the elevator which operates be¬ tween the sidewalk doors and the basement plunged down the shaft. He was directly beneath. He was taken by the Scranton police to the State Hospital, where lie was pronounced dead on arrival ( hain Break* police department who investigated the accident reported that a chain broke, causing the lift lo descend. John GabrizcskI, 18, 1404 Rundle street, was unloading the elevator on the sidewalk and had just step¬ ped from the platform when it dropped. Captain Davis directed the man¬ agement to discontinue operating the elevator until an inspection is made. The accident was the second fatality to occur in an elevator shaft in Scranton within a week's time. It is also the second since an act of legislature abolishing the city of Scranton's inspection bureau on January 1 and cenlrali/.ed inspec r,. . , „ tions In a state department at Har- taptaln George Davis of the i risburg. 6 Hurt as Car Rolls On Hazleton Road; Boulevard Spill One local man had both legs amputated last night as a result of a train accident, while several other people figured In automobile collisions. Numerous minor acci¬ dents, particularly on highways, were reported by police. A Plymouth man fell undT a freight train at Scranton last night and had his two left legs cut off. He is John Burkosky, who gave his age as 50, a resident of 423 Beade street. The accident occurred near the station.

(UP) — Associate Justice Benjamin Nathan Cardozo of the U. S. Supreme Court died tonight from the chronic heart ailment that forced him to abandon active work on the bench last December. The end came at 6:40 p. m. at the home of his friend. Judge Irving Lrfhman of the New York State Court of Appeals. Judge Lehman and Joseph Rauh, secre¬ tary to Cardozo, were at the bed¬ side. The 68-year-old jurist was con¬ scious to the last, but did not speak. He came here last April to re¬ cuperate and made favorable prog¬ ress until a week ago when the effects of a hot spell that, sapped his strength became noticeable and he was placed under an oxygen tent. He slipped slowly and this after¬ noon became dangerously weak. Shortly after 6 p. m. he suffered the fatal seizure. Private funeral services will be held at the home of Judge Lehman here at 2 p. m. Monday, with inter¬ ment at 4 p. m. in the cemetery of the Congregation of Shereth Israel at Cypress Hill, Long Island. Rabbi B. J. Cardozo, not a rela¬ tive, will officiate. Appointment Unopposed Cardozo was elevated to the Supreme bench when the late Jus¬ tice Oliver Wendell Holmes re¬ signed in January, 1932, and was immediately linked with the so- called liberal group—then a minor¬ ity—on the bench. The others were Justices Harlan Stone and Louis D. Brandcls. His appointment waa notable In that It was one of the few that did not raise any wave of objections from any quarter. The appointment was made by President Hoover, with the recommendation of Sens. William E. Borah of Idaho and Robert F. Wagner of New York. Powerful Writer of Imw Born In New York City on May 24, 1870, he studied at Columbia University and at 19 was graduated with high honors. At that time a professor in the English faculty remarked that Cardozo's writing on law was "the most powerful since Alexander Hamlton." He possessed Holmes' knack of putting his views Into a neatly turned phrase, and his judicial re¬ views were phlosophical aa well as legal treatises. He frequently remarked that he never was certain, "with the cer¬ tainty of an engineer," of any of his decisions. Remarking that an engineer, building a bridge, knows what stress it will withstand, what torrents and traffl': will burden It, he said: "So I cry out sometimes In re¬ bellion—'why cannot I do as much to bridge with my rules of law the torrents of life'?"

Mr. Roosevelt recalled that two weeks ago in a nationwide address he referred to the necessity of Ing 95 degree weather, departed } maintaining "a government which from his prepared text to criticize William H. (Alfalfa Bill) Murray, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for Governor. Murray was a contender for the presi¬ dential nomination against Mr. Roosevelt in 1936. He lauded Gov. E. W. Marland, who Is contesting with Senator Thomas for the senatorial post Thomas has held for 12 years, but he did not mention the name of Rep. Gomer Smith, the other candi¬ date in this bitterly contested race. Inferrentially, Mr. Roosevelt assail¬ ed Smith, who voted against the farm and government reorganiza¬ tion measures, by attacking "yes- but people" who profess a belief in liberalism but were conserva¬ tives when it came to a test. "Of course," Mr. Rooscvelt said, departing from his text to rap Murray, "some are not even 'yes- but' people, and I note that one of the candidates for a place on the Democratic state ticket this year is nationally known as a water for the five fliers Hughes, flying as a special good will ambassador for the New York World's Fair, will be accompanied on the dash to Paris by a crew of four: Lieutenant Hiram (Tommy) Thurlow, navigator and co-pllot; Harry P.

Lindbergh, the only one thus far to make the 3,641-mile flight from here to the French capital. Hughes hopes to make the flight in 22 hours, cruising at an average speed of about 170 miles an hour. Lindbergh took 33 hours. He plans to fly at altitudes ranging from 10,000 to 15,000 feet. Murray, the only Democratic candidate for a major office who was absent at today's rally, sup¬ ported Alf M. Landon in the 1936 campaign. "Yes-But People" Mr. Roosevelt was bareheaded during his talk. He wore glasses and was attired in an egg-shell colored suit. The crowd, estimated at 30,000 by Secret Service men, punctuated the address with fre¬ quent appl.Huse, especially at the point where he attacked "Yes-but People." Immediately upon completion of his address, Mr. Roosevelt learned of the death of Justice Benjamin Cardozo of the Supreme Court. He Issued a statement saying that the Stock Market Leading Revival of Business Profit Reaction Small; Industries Gains Surprising Minister Offers To Share Sentence Hamilton, Ont., July 9. (UP) — Tho Rev. Thompson, rector of Holy Trinity Anglican Church, pleaded today with Police Court Magistrate H. A. Burbidge for permission to share the three to six months sentence of two young parishioners he felt he had neglected. They were John Kingston and John Smith, both 17, convicted •f car theft. The magistrate refused the clergyman's request. "Perhaps we have neglected our opportunities for deve'op'ng the mental and physical facul¬ ties of these hoys," the clcrjiy- man said. "I feel I should share their sentences because of my neglect." New York, July 9 (UP)—Profit- taking halted the advance In stocks this week, but business confidence improved further on indications that the recent depression p.sychol- ogy had been replaced by relief that an Industrial revival is In the offing. The reaction In stocks was smaller than had been anticipated by some. It came only after last week's gains had been extended by some 5 points and the Industrial average had reached a further new] high since last autumn. On the set¬ back most of the gains were wiped out and substituted with moderate losses. Most Show Gains More Issues were up on the week, however, than declined although most of the pivotal shares were in the latter group. A total of 303 issues made new highs for the year, including many trading favorites such as Chrysler, General Motors, Curl'iss-Wrlght A, Sears Roebuck, Standard Oil of New Jersey and U. S. Rubber, Trading swelled on the rise and dwindled on the decline. The turn¬ over for the five sessions—shorten¬ ed by the July 4th holiday Monday —was 8,446,720 shares against 12,- 132,950 shares in the preceding week. Railroad shops and mills and factories producing consumers' goods were reported calling men back to work. A slowing down in textile sales from the abnormally large volume a week ago was more than offset by plans of many mills to step up operations or to re¬ open plants after shutdowns rang¬ ing to ten months. Automobile em¬ ployment prospects improved on possibility Hint Sabotage In Rail Wrecks Chester, Pa., July 9, (UP)—A Chester man has reported to authorities that he overheard three men on a ferry boat talk about "dynamiting" the NorUi- ern Pacific Railroad, It was divulged today. An explosion on one of the company's trains In Montana yesterday resulted In five deaths. William Peterson, 52, a sea captain, said the incident oc¬ curred on a boat between Phila¬ delphia and Camden, N. J. At that time, according to Peter¬ son, he made a lengthy report to ferry company officials. The report apparently was for¬ warded to Montana police, be¬ cause detectives received a com¬ munication from Montana ask¬ ing for a check on Peterson's veracity. Peterson said that from what he heard the "dynamite plot" was tile result of labor trouble. is essentially liberal and nationally thinking of lis outlook—a govern¬ ment which Is progre-sslvely bet¬ tering economic and social condi¬ tions." Government Must Progreae "I explained why," he added, "If the people want that kind ot gov¬ ernment to continue, they should choose officials to represent that point of view—and that If the people want lo go back to the school of thought of the twenties, they should choose people with a conservative outlook." On the platform with the Presi¬ dent was Sen, Elmer Thomas, who rode to Oklahoma Cily with him from McAlester. Mr. Roosevelt mentioned him by name in the speech, calling him "my old friend", and speaking briefly of Thomas' work for agricultural rehabilita¬ tion in Oklahoma. To observers th* President's kindly reference to Thomas was the White House approval of the Oklahoman's campaign for renom- ination against Gov. E. W, Mar- land and Rep. Gomer Smith. Simi¬ lar approval was extended by Mr. Roosevelt yesterday to Sen. Robert Bulkley of Ohio, Sen. Alben W. Barkley of Kentucky and this morning to Sen. Hattie Caraway of Arkansas. The President admonished his audience to look beyond the sur¬ face of things and Into mens' hearts. For the Greatest Number! "Do they really mean what they say—or are they the kind that pro¬ fess great devotion to the cause of bettering the lot of their fellow men?" The President suggested that each voter ask himself con¬ cerning the candidates. "And when the time for action comes do these men (the candidates) find all kinds of reason.* why they should not support the action proposed? I refer to such people as yes-but people." "During these past yean the people of this nation have definitely said 'Yes' to the old Biblical ques¬ tion—'Am 1 my brother's keeper?' In these six years I sense a grow¬ ing devotion to the teachings of the Scriptures, to the quickening of religion, to a greater willingness on the part of the individual to help his neighbor and to live less unto and for himself alone. "It Is in this spirit that your national government seeks to carry on its task. It is in this spirit that In the consideration of every new problem, our first question Is, 'What makes for the greatest good lo the greatest numbers?' "America needs a government of constant progress along liberal lines. America requires that this progress be sane and honest. America calls for a government with a soul." Guarding Natural Resource! The President opened his address here by observing that the state was natural resource conscious. He asserted that "slowly but surely we are developing a national policy In regard to the oil resources of tho nation and your Governor has given great assistance toward that end." (Continued on Page A-2) Knocked Down By Leap of Secret Service Agent in Oklahoma City Oklahoma Cily, July 9. (UP)— Woody Hockaday, an eccentrio businessman from Wichita, Kani., was seized and pummcled when h» broke from ranks of spectator! and ran toward President Roos«« veil's automobile as ll was passing through crowded downtown street! late today. While Secret Service men and National Guardsmen pinioned hi! arms, men in the crowd rushed forward shaking their fists and women shrieked curses at him. Quick action by those who held him prisoner saved Hockaday from a terrific beating or possible lynch¬ ing. As it was, his face was bruited and his shirt torn nearly off. When Hockaday started toward the car a Secret Service agent riding on the running board leaped eight feet through the air toward the man. Still in the air the agent struck Hockaday flush in the face and sent him sprawling on th! pavement. Although first reports said that the man was armed with a black¬ jack. Captain Mickey Ryan of Oklahoma City detectives, who identified the man aa Hockaday, said that he was not armed. Spec¬ tators said he did carry a black¬ jack. Hockaday'! only explanation of the affair was that he wanted to get close to Mr. Roosevelt to "shin* the President's shoes." "I don't think that this fellow tried to harm the President," Cap¬ tain Ryan said. "We searched him and didn't find anything resemblinf a weapon." Hockaday, whose escapades fre¬ quently have got him in jami, nevertheless was held In jail. Secret Service men planned to question him further. Mr. Roosevelt, who waa cnrout* to the stale fair grounds to speiik, saw the incident from the outset As Hockaday approached the car he turned his head toward th* Secret Service agent who at that instant was poised for the leap. Then, while troops were pummel- Ing the would-be greetcr or assail¬ ant, Mr. Roosevelt waved his hat and smiled broadly. The panic ten» dency faded. Firemen pushed back the bystand. ers who were attempting to mob Hockaday. Bewildered by the sudden turn in events, Hockaday protested that "I am just a well-wisher of tb« President." Ernest Albright, a candidal* for Congress, was standing at tha Intersection where the Incident occurred. "It was th* longest leap I've ever seen," Albright said of the jump the Secret Service man mad* toward Hockaday. "While still la the air the agent hit Hockaday flush iM tho face.

Hockaday once created quit* a stir when he Inaugurated a peac* movement of his own invention by breaking past secretaries at th* door of Secretary of War Harry Woodring and showering feather* over the office.

Ivocal railroads and the street car company experienced delays in schedules, as washouts occurred and tracks were flooded. A num¬ ber of accidents took place dur¬ ing the storm. Its wrath was un¬ leashed about four oclock yester¬ day afternoon, shortly after six it had subsided, leaving damage in Its wake. When a cabin at Camp Mlnnies- kla. North Lake, in Sweet Valley, was struck by lightning, Donald Mulreany, age 10, of 7!i First street, Larksville, waa killed and more than two score other boys and girls who occupied camp buildings were Injured. Miss Alice Ross, 290 Rutter avenue, Kingston, a teacher In Larksville school district and operator of the camp, was admitted to Nesbltt Memorial Hospital.

It was reported by police that IS Inches of water found its way to cellars along Main street, Edwards¬ viile, in the vicinity of the borough building. Cellars of churches, homes and some business estab¬ lishments on the east side of Slocum «treet were similarly flooded. Traffic was tied up on some lines of Wilkes-Barre Railway for more than an hour, while service on the Laurel Line between Wilkes-Barre and Plains was Impaired for a longer period of time. The tracks were flooded at several points. Dur¬ ing the storm, motormen travelled at a snail's pace, the fierce rainfall nearly cutting oft the operator's vision.

Two windows and a door were smashed. Two passen¬ gers were In the car and one, Walter Shafer, 147 South Main street, suffered an Injured ankle. He refused medical attention, it was reported.

Once he had made up his mind to try to sue his former employers, Dizzy drew up a request for advice from Baseball Commissioner K. M. Landis and said he'd proceed the minute he hears from the white- haired czar. Landis Silent Landis refused even to mention Dean's name. He declined to say whether there was anything in the baseball law on which Dean might base such a case and parried all questions with the same phrase: "I've got nothing to say about it." Other baseball experts, however, believed Dean had no basis for a damage suit. Cubs ofHcials appar¬ ently weren't even interested, since the matter lay directly between Dean and the Cardinals.

Harrison, a freshman at Tech¬ nical High School, was bagging potatoes at the Giant market at Ash street and Ridge avenue when the elevator which operates be¬ tween the sidewalk doors and the basement plunged down the shaft. He was directly beneath. He was taken by the Scranton police to the State Hospital, where lie was pronounced dead on arrival ( hain Break* police department who investigated the accident reported that a chain broke, causing the lift lo descend.

(UP) — Associate Justice Benjamin Nathan Cardozo of the U. S. Supreme Court died tonight from the chronic heart ailment that forced him to abandon active work on the bench last December. The end came at 6:40 p. m. at the home of his friend. Judge Irving Lrfhman of the New York State Court of Appeals. Judge Lehman and Joseph Rauh, secre¬ tary to Cardozo, were at the bed¬ side. The 68-year-old jurist was con¬ scious to the last, but did not speak. He came here last April to re¬ cuperate and made favorable prog¬ ress until a week ago when the effects of a hot spell that, sapped his strength became noticeable and he was placed under an oxygen tent. He slipped slowly and this after¬ noon became dangerously weak. Shortly after 6 p. m. he suffered the fatal seizure. Private funeral services will be held at the home of Judge Lehman here at 2 p. m. Monday, with inter¬ ment at 4 p. m. in the cemetery of the Congregation of Shereth Israel at Cypress Hill, Long Island. Rabbi B. J. Cardozo, not a rela¬ tive, will officiate. Appointment Unopposed Cardozo was elevated to the Supreme bench when the late Jus¬ tice Oliver Wendell Holmes re¬ signed in January, 1932, and was immediately linked with the so- called liberal group—then a minor¬ ity—on the bench. The others were Justices Harlan Stone and Louis D. Brandcls. His appointment waa notable In that It was one of the few that did not raise any wave of objections from any quarter. The appointment was made by President Hoover, with the recommendation of Sens. William E. Borah of Idaho and Robert F. Wagner of New York. Powerful Writer of Imw Born In New York City on May 24, 1870, he studied at Columbia University and at 19 was graduated with high honors. At that time a professor in the English faculty remarked that Cardozo's writing on law was "the most powerful since Alexander Hamlton." He possessed Holmes' knack of putting his views Into a neatly turned phrase, and his judicial re¬ views were phlosophical aa well as legal treatises. He frequently remarked that he never was certain, "with the cer¬ tainty of an engineer," of any of his decisions. Remarking that an engineer, building a bridge, knows what stress it will withstand, what torrents and traffl': will burden It, he said: "So I cry out sometimes In re¬ bellion—'why cannot I do as much to bridge with my rules of law the torrents of life'?"

Inferrentially, Mr. Roosevelt assail¬ ed Smith, who voted against the farm and government reorganiza¬ tion measures, by attacking "yes- but people" who profess a belief in liberalism but were conserva¬ tives when it came to a test.

The crowd, estimated at 30,000 by Secret Service men, punctuated the address with fre¬ quent appl.Huse, especially at the point where he attacked "Yes-but People." Immediately upon completion of his address, Mr. Roosevelt learned of the death of Justice Benjamin Cardozo of the Supreme Court. He Issued a statement saying that the Stock Market Leading Revival of Business Profit Reaction Small; Industries Gains Surprising Minister Offers To Share Sentence Hamilton, Ont., July 9. (UP) — Tho Rev. Thompson, rector of Holy Trinity Anglican Church, pleaded today with Police Court Magistrate H. A. Burbidge for permission to share the three to six months sentence of two young parishioners he felt he had neglected. They were John Kingston and John Smith, both 17, convicted •f car theft. The magistrate refused the clergyman's request. "Perhaps we have neglected our opportunities for deve'op'ng the mental and physical facul¬ ties of these hoys," the clcrjiy- man said. "I feel I should share their sentences because of my neglect." New York, July 9 (UP)—Profit- taking halted the advance In stocks this week, but business confidence improved further on indications that the recent depression p.sychol- ogy had been replaced by relief that an Industrial revival is In the offing. The reaction In stocks was smaller than had been anticipated by some. It came only after last week's gains had been extended by some 5 points and the Industrial average had reached a further new] high since last autumn. On the set¬ back most of the gains were wiped out and substituted with moderate losses. Most Show Gains More Issues were up on the week, however, than declined although most of the pivotal shares were in the latter group. A total of 303 issues made new highs for the year, including many trading favorites such as Chrysler, General Motors, Curl'iss-Wrlght A, Sears Roebuck, Standard Oil of New Jersey and U. S. Rubber, Trading swelled on the rise and dwindled on the decline. The turn¬ over for the five sessions—shorten¬ ed by the July 4th holiday Monday —was 8,446,720 shares against 12,- 132,950 shares in the preceding week. Railroad shops and mills and factories producing consumers' goods were reported calling men back to work. A slowing down in textile sales from the abnormally large volume a week ago was more than offset by plans of many mills to step up operations or to re¬ open plants after shutdowns rang¬ ing to ten months. Automobile em¬ ployment prospects improved on possibility Hint Sabotage In Rail Wrecks Chester, Pa., July 9, (UP)—A Chester man has reported to authorities that he overheard three men on a ferry boat talk about "dynamiting" the NorUi- ern Pacific Railroad, It was divulged today. An explosion on one of the company's trains In Montana yesterday resulted In five deaths. William Peterson, 52, a sea captain, said the incident oc¬ curred on a boat between Phila¬ delphia and Camden, N. J. At that time, according to Peter¬ son, he made a lengthy report to ferry company officials. The report apparently was for¬ warded to Montana police, be¬ cause detectives received a com¬ munication from Montana ask¬ ing for a check on Peterson's veracity. Peterson said that from what he heard the "dynamite plot" was tile result of labor trouble. is essentially liberal and nationally thinking of lis outlook—a govern¬ ment which Is progre-sslvely bet¬ tering economic and social condi¬ tions." Government Must Progreae "I explained why," he added, "If the people want that kind ot gov¬ ernment to continue, they should choose officials to represent that point of view—and that If the people want lo go back to the school of thought of the twenties, they should choose people with a conservative outlook." On the platform with the Presi¬ dent was Sen, Elmer Thomas, who rode to Oklahoma Cily with him from McAlester. Mr. Roosevelt mentioned him by name in the speech, calling him "my old friend", and speaking briefly of Thomas' work for agricultural rehabilita¬ tion in Oklahoma. To observers th* President's kindly reference to Thomas was the White House approval of the Oklahoman's campaign for renom- ination against Gov. E. W, Mar- land and Rep. Gomer Smith. Simi¬ lar approval was extended by Mr. Roosevelt yesterday to Sen. Robert Bulkley of Ohio, Sen. Alben W. Barkley of Kentucky and this morning to Sen. Hattie Caraway of Arkansas. The President admonished his audience to look beyond the sur¬ face of things and Into mens' hearts. For the Greatest Number! "Do they really mean what they say—or are they the kind that pro¬ fess great devotion to the cause of bettering the lot of their fellow men?" The President suggested that each voter ask himself con¬ cerning the candidates. "And when the time for action comes do these men (the candidates) find all kinds of reason.* why they should not support the action proposed? I refer to such people as yes-but people." "During these past yean the people of this nation have definitely said 'Yes' to the old Biblical ques¬ tion—'Am 1 my brother's keeper?' In these six years I sense a grow¬ ing devotion to the teachings of the Scriptures, to the quickening of religion, to a greater willingness on the part of the individual to help his neighbor and to live less unto and for himself alone. "It Is in this spirit that your national government seeks to carry on its task. It is in this spirit that In the consideration of every new problem, our first question Is, 'What makes for the greatest good lo the greatest numbers?' "America needs a government of constant progress along liberal lines. America requires that this progress be sane and honest. America calls for a government with a soul." Guarding Natural Resource! The President opened his address here by observing that the state was natural resource conscious. He asserted that "slowly but surely we are developing a national policy In regard to the oil resources of tho nation and your Governor has given great assistance toward that end." (Continued on Page A-2) Knocked Down By Leap of Secret Service Agent in Oklahoma City Oklahoma Cily, July 9. (UP)— Woody Hockaday, an eccentrio businessman from Wichita, Kani., was seized and pummcled when h» broke from ranks of spectator! and ran toward President Roos«« veil's automobile as ll was passing through crowded downtown street! late today. While Secret Service men and National Guardsmen pinioned hi! arms, men in the crowd rushed forward shaking their fists and women shrieked curses at him. Quick action by those who held him prisoner saved Hockaday from a terrific beating or possible lynch¬ ing. As it was, his face was bruited and his shirt torn nearly off. When Hockaday started toward the car a Secret Service agent riding on the running board leaped eight feet through the air toward the man. Still in the air the agent struck Hockaday flush in the face and sent him sprawling on th! pavement. Although first reports said that the man was armed with a black¬ jack. Captain Mickey Ryan of Oklahoma City detectives, who identified the man aa Hockaday, said that he was not armed. Spec¬ tators said he did carry a black¬ jack. Hockaday'! only explanation of the affair was that he wanted to get close to Mr. Roosevelt to "shin* the President's shoes." "I don't think that this fellow tried to harm the President," Cap¬ tain Ryan said. "We searched him and didn't find anything resemblinf a weapon." Hockaday, whose escapades fre¬ quently have got him in jami, nevertheless was held In jail. Secret Service men planned to question him further. Mr. Roosevelt, who waa cnrout* to the stale fair grounds to speiik, saw the incident from the outset As Hockaday approached the car he turned his head toward th* Secret Service agent who at that instant was poised for the leap. Then, while troops were pummel- Ing the would-be greetcr or assail¬ ant, Mr. Roosevelt waved his hat and smiled broadly. The panic ten» dency faded. Firemen pushed back the bystand. ers who were attempting to mob Hockaday. Bewildered by the sudden turn in events, Hockaday protested that "I am just a well-wisher of tb« President." Ernest Albright, a candidal* for Congress, was standing at tha Intersection where the Incident occurred. "It was th* longest leap I've ever seen," Albright said of the jump the Secret Service man mad* toward Hockaday. "While still la the air the agent hit Hockaday flush iM tho face.
