Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of presi- dent Roosevelt, and Kate Smith will converse with all the nation listen- ing in as the feature of the ''Kate Smith Hour" over the WABC-Col- umbia network, Thursday, Decem- Der 9, from 800 to goo D. rl., EST. The appearance of Mrs. Roosevelt on the Kate Smith Hour" marks a distinct departure in production of radio variety shows. She will be the first of many outstanding per- sonalities drawn from the world at large to talk in intimate interview fashion with the First Lady of Song," according to Ted Collins, producer of the program. Mrs. Roosevelt will be asked questions often pondered upon by her legion of admirers, but seldom answered. The world, Miss Smith believes, is greatly interested in learning such things as why the Presidents wife takes certain taxi above all others on leaving a New York theater and how she maintains the trelmen- dous drive necessary to handle her many diversified interests. Mrs. Roosevelt is frequent microphone speaker. She has appeared on the air for many charitable causes and has had her own radio series. Though she broadcast once in the past with Miss Smith for the Red Cross, this will be the first time that the two have chatted informal ly on the air together.

WILEY HOOPMEN
 AT WATERFOWL
Wildcats and Indians Meet Friday; LeavenwOrth vs
 Fairfield

With McGrath, Chestone and Bartlkus of the varsity football squad and Jackie Brickel, Bobby Ray and Johnny Harnick of last year squad, Wilby has the makings of a light but speedy basketball team that makes it's seasonal debut at Watertown. Friday night. One major change in the hoop rules speeds up the game considerably, but five tiine-outs are allowed in high school games this season, in- dicating that Wilby ought to be set for good season before the new year. Due to the late disbanding of the football squad little or no time has been devoted to basket ball, but Watertown is not too strong this season, either, Q fact which ought to bring Wilby back with win for their first home game against Gilbert or Winsted on December 17.
 Leavenworth opens December IT., too against George Taylor's Fair field High boys, and Wilby takes on Leavenworth December 22, Cros- by opening the season Christmas night against g strong Alumni team.

Mr.. McElroy, accused by Ford

protection in the future was sufficient.
Kemper said the resolution was only
