WILSON I United Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. 3. President Roosevelt is banishing democratic conservatives from New Deal ranks today and beckoning republican and other liberals into the fighting lines.
There is speculation here on the distance Postmaster General James A. Farley would go with Mr. Roosevelt in the disavowal of democratic candidates for office. The White House program as revealed so far would permit the applauded" today President Roosevelt's willingness to see liberal republicans elected to office. In a forma! statement Issued after Mr.
Roosevelt's press conference remarks, Hamilton said that republicans were so pleased that they would not "even recall Mr. Roosevelt's recent lamentations about the immorality of crossing over party lines in this year's campaign."

Ten entrants in the ninth annual Bendix air classic, a dash from the Los Angeles municipal airport here to Cleveland, were winging their way; across the country today. Several of the pilots made landings at Wichita, and left immediately for the Ohio city.
Led by Ross Hadley, Los Angeles sportsman-pilot, the fliers started taking off at 3:47 a. m. Akron time. It was almost four hours later that Frank Cordova, the last pilot to get away, raised his tri- Roosevelt's Idea Of 'Good Liberal' M) A jnkx fix' 4 1 borhood of the W. R.

White's instructions came after president to bolt offending democrats in the November elections and support their republican opponents.
Immediate Activity Limited But he has not committed himself to that strategy. And it appears now that few, if any, opportunities for such action will be offered in the 1938 general election. Mr. Roosevelt's political activity probably will be limited to the primary campaign to drive conservatives out of his party. Gov.
Olin D. Johnston of South Carolina, defeated New Deal candidate for senatorial nomination in this week's primary election, conferred with the president here yesterday and announced afterward that he had "just begun to fight" for Roosevelt objectives. That means the issues upon which Mr. Roosevelt challenged re-nomination of conservative Sen. Ellison D.

He said the president would stop in WASHINGTON, Sept. 3. UP) President Roosevelt's statement that he had no objection to the election of a "good liberal" republican raised anew today the question: what constitutes a "liberal." Here is Mr.
Roosevelt's definition as given in a radio address last June: "Roughly speaking, the liberal school of thought recognizes that the new conditions throughout the world call for new remedies. "Those of us in America who hold to this school of thought insist that these new remedies can be adopted and successfully maintained in this country under our present form of government if we use government as an instrument of cooperation to provide these remedies." the federal bureau of investiga-; tion had withdrawn from the case "for the present," and members of the San Francisco office of the G-men had returned to their head Times Of Takeoffs After Hadley the fliers took off at the following times: Max Constant, New York, 5:37 a. m.

Last year Fuller averaged 255 miles an hour across the country, reaching Cleveland in 7 hours 54 minutes. No Mishap At Start There was no mishap at the start, although a fire delayed Cordova's takeoff and Lee Gehlbach, New York test pilot, gave the spectators a thrill when he straightened out 20 feet above the ground and appeared to be having trouble in rising higher. The nose of his ship soon turned upward, however, and he streaked away toward the Sierra Madre mountains. The fact that Hadley got the first start gave him no advantage, since the race is against time. The result will be based on elapsed flying time.

The kidnapper paused for a moment, then added: "Leave the $15,000 on the loading platform on highway 99 between Sheridan and Wheatland if you want to get your wife back alive. Put it there before midnight next Saturday. We'll give you more instructions later." White's orders were based on the assumption that if the officers dent, replied that "I'm willing to let the republicans run their own affairs."

in November en route to Warm Springs, Ga. Johnston probably will be an important figure in new deal deep south startegy. Realignment Under Way Party realignment already is well under way. The current and continuing phase began in 1932 when numerous outstanding republicans bolted former President Hoover's reelection candidacy to support Mr. Roosevelt.
Since then Mr. Roosevelt himself stepped over party lines to support Sen. George W. Norris, independent and former republican of Nebraska, for reelection. He retired his own party's Minnesota senatorial-gubernatorial ticket in 1936 to insure election of farmer-labor candidates.
He was briefly aligned with the La Follette organization in Wisconsin. Meeting newspaper reporters at yesterday's regular press conference, Mr. Roosevelt was in extraordinary good spirits. He unexpectedly spoke a political blessing upon liberal republicans yet to be identified and named.

Their own show, held at municipal airport, came to a grand climax last night with a victory dinner at the Mayflower hotel for the champions. In addition to receiving about $2,500 in trophies, cash and model supplies, they heard themselves called "the builders of aviation's future" by men who rank high in the aviation industry.
