(AP) Smilinjr, baldish Jimmy Roosevelt, 30-year-old former secretary to his father, the President, reported for work today as movie maker Sam Goldwyn's new hired hand and got his first assignment: A press conference. This was like being a member of the White House secretariat again for Jimmy, but the salary was several times better than the $10,000 a year he earned in Washington. The stipend was not announced, yet Hollywoodians guessed it a TVTW 4 would compare favorably with Anniiol I If A any territory over which the premier declared. His statement was regarded as doubly significant in view of preparations here to receive Joachim Von Ribbentrop, German foreign minister, who is coming to Paris tomorrow to sign a French-German no-war accord. Daladier did not limit his remarks to Italy's newly-raised demands.

He also declared France's resolution to demand respect for "the absolute integrity" of all French territory by "every means." Both French and Germans agree that the war-renunciation pact, similar to the declarations signed by Reichsfuehrer Hitler and British Prime Minister Chamberlain at Munich last Sept. 30, would be oniy ine siarung point ior iunner negotiations between Paris and Berlin. Some observers believed that Daladier had cleared the air for the French-German discussions with a definite expresson of France's position against colonial demands from either of the Fascist partners. Confer After Signing. No hitch was expected, however, to signing of the pact, as Daladier apparently was determined to go through with it.

This was indicated by the fact that formal conversations were arranged for after the signing rather than before it. The demonstrations of loyalty in Tunisia and Corsica, Daladier said, were "the best response that could be made" to Italy's demands. He added that a protest made by France already had won a declaration from the Italian govern-ment that demonstrations for (Continued on Page 13, Column 4i UNION TO VOTE 4 JN PEACE PLAN Flint, Mich, Dec. 5.

for Renomination. Washington, Dec. 5. AP) Third-term talk received an impetus today from Senator Guffey who declared the Pennsylvania delegates to the 1940 Democratic convention would back President Roosevelt for renomination. 'The one man to justify the Roosevelt record is Roosevelt," said Guffey in a statement.

"Pennsylvania does not want and will have nothing to do with any so-called 'middle-of-the-road' candidates. "The issue will be the liberal democracy of Franklin D. Roosevelt versus the camouflaged Fascism of powerful financial and industrial interests masquerading under the colors of the Republican party." Guffey's announcement was given particular attention by capital politicians because of the important role he will have in Pennsylvania Democratic politics during the next two years. As a result of the Republican victory in the state last month, he is one of the few Pennsylvania Democrats remaining in a major elective office. The Pennsylvania senator assailed the Republican national committee, declaring that at its meeting here last week a campaign was launched "to again make Wall street the seat of the government."

Announcement that Roosevelt had been appointed vice president of Goldwyn, broke the Sab bath calm in the film city yester day. Frequent Rooseveltian visits here since he came west some time ago to recuperate from a stomach operation had already indicated he might enter the movie industry.

Thomas Balch, alias rUlllUCU 1 fa Loss Seen by Ex-Chairman Predicts Annual Deficit of $3,130,000 When All Dams Operating. Washington, Dec. 5. (AP) Dr. Arthur E.

Morgan, former chairman of the Tennessee valley authority, estimated today there would be an annual loss of when the seven TVA dams already completed or under construction begin operating as a unified system. Testifying before a senate-house investigating committee, Morgan asserted that TVA electrical costs do not reflect numerous items representing a "concealed subsidy." If the entire potential power is generated when the seven dams are in operation, he said, annual expenses will be about $13,076,000. Assuming that the power is sold at present rates, he said the annual income would be $9,919,000. He added, however, that present rates probably would be reduced. The annual deficit of $3,157,000, he said, "leaves out a considerable number of expenses that in my opinion should be included."
