MRS. ROOSEVELT HOLDS NO FEAR
OF REVOLT WITH JUSTICE HOPE

When asked If she had any COM
ment about the 1000 school teachers
who were recently adjudged insane
in New York, Mrs. Roosevelt again
smiled and quoted the old saying that
"Everybody's queer but thee and me,
and sometimes methinks thou art q
bit queer, too"
She said she had received an Easter
telegram from the President saying
that all were well and having good
time. James Roosevelt wired her
that his arms were very lame after
the first days fishing.
There was q general laugh in the
conference when Mrs. Roosevelt on
being asked whether she had ever
found any ghosts in the White House
said that she had never seen any real
ones, but that one day when q men,

door Of the Lincoln room. he thought
he saw Lincoln taking of his boots.

There is little chance for a revo-
luton with bloodshed when people
can register their desires in a peace
full way" Mrs. Roosevelt said at her
weekly press conference this morning.
The subject came up when the
congressional inquiry into DR.. Wirts'
accusation of Red propaganda by
members of the administration was
being discussed. Mrs. Roosevelt
stressed her belief that revolution
comes only with oppression and when
the mass Of people are at level of
great want. Then she introduced a
more cheerful note by reading aloud
q parody Of Little Orphan Annie, "
which was syndicated last week. 1t
ended up with the President disap-
pearing and q big, black bear, sent
over from Russia, explaining to Mrs.
Roosevelt that the COLLINS had got
ten Franklin. Mrs. Roosevelt laughed
heartily as she read the poem and
said she adored It,"

Ten of Americas most famous dance band maestros and their 0r- chestDas will enter radios Hall of Fame during the next ten weeks to perform for listeners to the Sunday night broadcasts over na- tionwide NBC-WEAF network at 10'p. m.
 Glen Gray and his Casa Loma orchestra will inaugurate the pa- rade of musicians on Sunday, July 22, and other celebrated dance or- ganizations to follow will include Duke Ellington and his orchestra, Richard Himber's Ritz-Carlton or- chestra and seven other outstand- ing dance bands.
