Mrs. Roosevelt Publicity Seeker?-The Answer Is MOI

Presidents wife, in fact, is an ex-
cellent shot.
On the trip to Canada she left
publicity behind. Canadians On the
remote Gaspe Peninsula may have
seen her pictures, but they didn't
recognize her.
CHE was invited to lunch by a
- parish priest, welcomed because
size was visitor in a lonely place
and brought with her breath Of
the outside world She had eaten
baked and boiled fresh salmon and
was ready to leave before the priest
and his sister asked her name and
we're told she was President Roose-
velts wife.
In remote Canadian villages, she
found her blue car was much more
interesting than herself.
In a New England potato-growing
section, she avoided her public by
inducing her hostess at tourist
home to ignore telephone calls all
evening.
When her husband made his
famous radio talk on the NRA, she
listened, unknown and unrecognized,
in a Pennsylvania tourist camp
where she was spending the night.
She Grove 1000 miles and allowed
herself to be entertained only once

There is also widespread objection
to the United States retaining naval

growing unrest in the Pacific was
not ignored, but it was pointed out
that an enemy of the United States
might attack the Philippines by
way Of striking at the United States
