Mrs. Roosevelt Tells Press
Conference.

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt today
expressed her belief that there should
be limits to hours of work and a
minimum for wages. These limits,
she told her press conference, should
be part Of any stable economy"
She defended Federal relief projects
with the statement that in the three
years that she has visited projects
she has not seen one that will not be
Of some value to the community. She
explained that she is not in a posi-
ton to judge whether or not any of
the money spent on Federal projects
is used for political purposes, but she
is certain there is no intention "at
the top" that this should happen.
THE principle back of the N. r. A.
is right, even though it didn't work
out" Mrs. Roosevelt continued.
