Roosevelt Correspondence
Reaches Terrific

BY PAUL MALLON.

The writing Roosevelts have per-
Sonal correspondence which would stag
ger a movie star.
Mr.. Roosevelt receives an average of
$500 letters and kilograms a day. Mr..
Hoover's average was 400.
In the past two months Mrs. Roose-
welt has received 10000 letters and
kilograms
Each has been answered. In addi-
ton Mrs. Roosevelt keeps a card index
of all correspondents SO she may iden-
tify them.
Most OF the mail comes from poor
people UhO lUant jobs or relief. To
Mrs. Rooseuelt especially they pour
out their tales OF noe. They also
ask her about home problems and
,Ueltare uork.
There is very little she can do eX-
cept to give advice. Most of the writer's
are referred to those who have charge
OF jobs and relief In very few in
stances is she able to be of direct
benefit.
The Presidents mail is wider in
scope. He has been asked for nearly
everything, including better seats at
the world series. He actually received
several complaints from ticket holders.
who requested him to use his influence
SO better tickets might be obtained.
A Tale Of Suffering.
The story behind the bulk Of the
mail. however, is a tale of national
suffering which never reaches the aver
age citizen.
1t is one of the main reasons why Mr.
Roosevelt went to such lengths in pro-
viding Federal funds for Winter relief.

Proposed minimum mark-ups in the

low today at the Farm Adjustment Ad-

in the 100000, 900 grocery and food

George Schultz, St. Louis food trade

livered costs of staples for retailers ana

retailers based on average overhead
costs involved in their retail distribution

Tor retailers proposed in the code would
be insufficient for the average inde-
pendent retail grocer and that "it would
tend to give the chain store systems
Eurther advantages over those they
already have"
c. Y. Early. president of the Texas
Wholesale Grocers' Association, also
urged that the minimum retail mark
up be 10 per cent and that the proposed
minimum mark-up for wholesalers be
increased from 21a to 312 per cent.

belief adoption of the code would not
have the effect of reducing profits of
either chains or independent stores, but
that it would definitely curb price-cut-
ting practices. He said that chain stores
generally would welcome" the code.
Proposals of manufacturers of about
70 per cent Of the products in food dis

provisions of the code were criticized
