mrs. ROOSEVELT
SAYS coop" is.
HERE TO STAY.
Will Make All Better
Off, She Declares

Mrs. Roosevelt also stated that
the chief issue in this falls cam
paign is "a liberal point Of view
as against a conservative one"
In answer to a question about
charges against the National Re
lationS Board, Mrs. Roosevelt
stated her belief that "on the
whole the board has succeeded in
being fairly impartial"
She said she based her judg-
ment on the fact that charges
against the boards impartiality
have been made alike by the CIO,
AFL and employers.
Declaring that the "age Of CO.
operation is with us to stay" Mrs.
Roosevelt today described con-
sumer cooperatives as particularly
valuable for low-lncome groups.
In her monthly question-and-
answer page in the October issue
Of the Democratic Digest, pub.
lished today, the First Lady said ::
Il think consumer coopera-
tives are extremely valuable for
low-income families, and be-
lieve that the more we study
the general cooperative move
ment in this country, the better
off we will all be.
Many people may wish only to
participate to a limited extent
In certain cooperative move
mentS, but there is no question
In my mind that the age of
cooperation is with us to stay
and that we should be familiar
with every development. Where
we find it convenient and valu-
able. not only to ourselves but
to our neighborS, we should join
In cooperative movements"

This theory was discounted, how

Commenting on the loss, Mr.
woodward said:
They are nice little animals.
We have a big place out here in
Rockville and We thought 1t
would be fun to have them roam

thought the missing burros were
being held for a reward, but,

they are merely lost"

 Reporters who could not hear Senator Copeland of course could not report his speeches, so for a long time he was not quoted much in the newspapers. The Senator, for the record, denies this hurt him, but people who know Senators be- lieve he was much grieved when two speeches he considered especially good-one against the Presidents court plan and another against the farm bill-went by almost unnot- iced.
