pline-was powerless to halt the al

Radical and Conservative
Fears Told Mrs. Roosevelt

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, pre-
siding at joint conference of State
directors of w. P. A. education and
recreation programs at the Wash
ington Hotel yesterday, was told
that the fear that America might
become too radical seems to have
about equal weight with the fear
that it might become too conser-
vative.
Questioning the w. P. A. leaders
closely as to whether they had seen
any evidence of a wave of fear
for democracy in their regions, Mrs.
Roosevelt was informed that at
tacks on democracy had brought
about a revival of enthusiasm for
it. The directors declared that
chief attacks had come entirely
from other countries and not from
groups In the United States.
During the round-table discussion
Mrs. Roosevelt was asked how w.
p. A. teachers might allay public
sentiment against inclusion OF dis
| cussion of fascism or communism
on w. P. A. educational programs.
She suggested that the critics be
asked to participate in the programs,
declaring that nothing teaches a
person SO quickly as to what Is be-
ing done as the opportunity to par
ticipate in the doing of it.
She urged that the w. P A. edu-
cation and recreation programs be-
come active powers behind the
teaching of democracy. rather than
teaching against any other form of
government.
The conference. which has brought
more than 200 State w. P. A.
leaders together, was to end this
morning after the two divisions re-
ceived and discussed reports from
various committees.
