EARTHQUAKES NOT FAULT OF ROOSEVELT, SAYS LEET

Nothing is unusual about the seeming plethora of earthquakes throughout the United States recently, according to L. Don Leet, director of the University's Seismograph Station at Harvard, Mass. Although the recent ramblings have achieved wide newspaper attention, he said, there are actually several thousand earthquakes yearly throughout the world.

"It is somewhat out of the ordinary to have quakes in the Middle West," said Dr. Leet, "but they are not generically connected with the recently reported disturbances on the West Coast."

Dr. Leet poopooed the feeling prevalent in Cambridge that the shakes presage the crack of doom and are a direct result of the Roosevelt administration.
