ROOSEVELT WIRE
REASSURESLAB0R
Message Sent to HiIIman
After Clothing Workers
Praise New Deal.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ATLANTIC CITY. N. j., May IA
Without being specific, President
Roosevelt reaffirmed today his pledge"
to organized labor to continue what
he desired as 1.-The great work which
80 many Americans have undertaken
together"
The delegates to the convention of
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of
America whooped it up with songs
and cheers and marching in the aisles
for 10 minutes when the Presidents
message was read to them by their
chieftain, Sidney Hillman.
The message was in response to q
long resolution the convention adopted
which found the New Deal without
fault and heaped praise upon the
President. That resolution, taken out
Of the basket before any of the others,
was rushed through early and with
unanimity.
Wire Sent Hillman.
The White Houses gratitude was
expressed In the following telegram
to Mr. Hillman:
Il express my deep appreciation OF
the resolution adopted by the dele
gates to the 18th biennial convention
Of the clothing workers of America.
1t Is heartening to have such support
from the representatives Of 225,000
workers.
In acknowledging 1t I want to re-
affirm my pledge to continue the great
work which so many Americans have
undertaken together, may I take this
occasion also to say to your great or
ganization how gratified I am that
you as their leader are fully restored
to health and back at work with them.
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT"
Back Fascist Boycott.
The convention adopted also a reso-
luton calling upon its members, the
rest Of organized labor and "other
liberal organizations" to participate in
an economic boycott OF goods manu-
featured by Fascist nations"
The resolution did not name anv
nation. 1t expressed the view that
the foreign policy OF the United
States shall not be based on the pro-
lection of the property interests of
large corporations, but that rather
such foreign policy shall express the
desire Of the American people for
international peace"

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES :
Mrs. '. Roosevelt Speaks At Club

Tense moments during air raids and encounters during the battles in Shanghai were described by Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., in an interesting address given last eve- ming at the Waterbury Women's club under the auspices of the edu- cation committee of the YMCA.
 Mrs. Roosevelt told of many critical circumstances which had surrounded herself and her 17-year old son, Quentin during the five days of the battle when they were in the central part of the battle region. The thought of adventure many times prompted them to seek vantage points rather than shelter and in several instances they escaped disaster by only few min- utes. In two instances places in which they had been sheltered were bombed five minutes after they had departed from them.
 The time of real fear came, said the speaker, when they made the trip down the river in a small lighter in order to reach the steam CT. Although in truce, the enemy had arranged to allow American refugees to reach the steamer, bombings were occurring so momen- tarily that the majority of the passengers of the lighter expected to be hit by bomb at any moment. Four hundred women and children were aboard the lighter and most of them sought refuge in the cabin.
 Mrs. Roosevelt said that the death rate was greater than ever pub lished here as a result of the battle and estimated that 1,153 had been killed. A true picture of actual scenes of bombing was vividly drawn in imaginary fashion by the speaker who was well received by a large audience.

he can count two hearts, five dia- monds and one spade. He can never hope for club trick, as hearts establish too quickly.
 The best way to get the ninth trick is to win the heart lead in dummy with the ace, and lead a club. If West ducks, then the clubs are abandoned, and a low diamond led and ducked in the South hand. This establishes the diamond suit. If West wins with the club ace, North needs only two diamonds, as he can then run his clubs for the majority of his tricks. Par for North and South is three no trump bid and made.
