Woman in Unneeded Job Urqed
Bv Mrs. Roosevelt to Aid Others

Mrs. Roosevelt told a group Of
Junior Leaguers today that women
who occupy professional jobs when
they don't need the money should
be sure to do something that either
causes employment, gives employ
ment or, if they give their money
away, do 1t in a way that will in
crease employment.
Her discussion of the relative
merits of doing volunteer work as
opposed to professional work came
after a member of the group used
her in a question as an example of
a woman who gets paid for her
service.
Mrs. Roosevelt explained that
there is a great satisfaction in doing
a professional job and that the ex-
perience Of having earned your own
living is particularly important to
women nowadays.
She indicated in her answer that

she was outlining her own policy in
being paid for her services. She also
cited "pitiful" letters from older
women who never had learned how
to earn their own living.
Asked if she thought regulations
of some public agencies against
volunteers would ever be overthrown,
she admitted it was possible, but
that the standards of volunteer work
must be raised so the professional
world will accept them.
Introduced by Cecil Lester Jones,
president of the Junior League of
Washington, as the greatest VOL
unteer in the country" Mrs. Roose-
veit devoted most of her time dur
ing her visit at Junior League head
quarters to answering the questions
of the members. She emphasized
that volunteer work must deepen
peoples ability to understand their
country and enable them to under
stand the life about them.

Work of Teachers in Face
Of 'Subversive Smear
Praised at Conference

The House Committee Investigat-
ing Un-American Activities was con-
demned yesterday by the first WASH
ington Student Conference as a
menace to civil liberties and
academic freedom.
The three-day conference, which
closed with general meeting at the
Y. w. c. A, passed a series of resolu-
tions among which was one ap-
plauding the efforts of teachers Ito
relate the facts as they exist in our
national and international life"
despite those who would hamper
their work by attempts to smear all
progressive thought and action as
un- American and 'subversive
The conference, at which %
schools and colleges in the District
were represented, also voted to ask
from Congress law providing an
expanded national program of job
subsiC es for youth at fair wage
provided this program is not used
as an excuse for lessening ordinary
relief appropriations for older
people"
They further resolved to favor
congressional legislation for a sound
guidance program in the public
schools Of the District; to recon-
mend that Congress authorize and
appropriate funds for an exhaustive
survey of economic conditions OF
youth to condemn the use of schools
and colleges as medium for propa-
ganda; to oppose the arbitrary
censorship of student press in Gen.
trail High School, Eastern High
School and George Washington Uni
versity or wherever it exists" and
to bring before the Board of Edu-
cation the need of a survey of edu-
cational facilities in the District

portunities for all students regard
less of race, creed or economic po-
sition !.
National Youth Administrator
Aubrey Williams, who put in a sur
prise appearance at the session yes
terday, criticized youth and student
groups "for their failure to come
to any realistic grips with the prob
lens Of young people"
you have got to become much
more practical in your idealism
than you have shown up to this
time he told the young people.
He cited youth groups in Switzer-
land, Belgium and Czecho-Slovakia
which had taken it upon them
selves to create jobs and bring the
economic conditions of youth to the
attention OF the general public
In America, he said, what bothers
me is that so few of the practical
services come from the young people
themselves"

Battle for Air Routes

Before T.. 4. 4.
Pon-Amerieon Fighting
Export Line PIeo for
on-Stop Service

A modern version of the age-old
struggle for overseas trade routes is
being enacted in hearings before
the Civil Aeronautics Authority on
application of American Export Air
lines, Inc, for a permanent certifl-
cate to operate the first nonstop
flying boat service to Europe
Hearings on the application. which
is opposed by an-American Air
ways Co., will be resumed tomor-
row at the Raleigh Hotel This fol-
lows a recess in which American Ex-
port Airlines, a subsidiary of the
steamship company American Ex-
port lines, won two preliminary skir-
mishes.
Application Amended.
One was the right to amend its
formal application to fly the Atlantic
twice weekly nonstop. entering the
British Isles once week and France
once a week. Owing to the out
break of war and the operation of
the Neutrality Act, the company
sought to amend its application re-
questing temporary certificate au-
thorizing air transportation be-
tween the United States and Italy
via Portugal and Spain.
On November Is the Authority
permitted the company to amend
its application. At the same time
the Authority denied Pan-Amer-
lean Airways motion asking that
American Export Airlines applica-
ton be dismissed.
American Export Airlines main
tains that the establishment of a
new airline spanning the Atlantic
will contribute to the development
OF a long-range commercial avia-
ton program which will give to the
United States the supremacy in air
lines its clipper sailing ships once
enjoyed on the sea.
To Use Flying Boats.
1t proposes, as a competitor in
transatlantic air travel, to use
giant flying boats capable of main
tanning cruising speed of ITS miles
an hour in nonstop passage across
the Atlantic. The boats would pro-
vide sleeping accommodations for
16 passengers, full mail load and
a crew of IL. 1t is also envisioned
that they could f1v nonstop to
Rome, 8 distance of more than
4,600 miles, with full crew and 1000
pounds OF mail.
Pan American Airways, which en-
tered the hearings as an objector to
American Exports application, al
ready is flying the Atlantic, but not
nonstop.

loud speakers. Don't stop them.
There aren't enough to operate the

wants is for you to stop them and
start a fight"
A force of 1000 police, warned
that an attempt would be made to

Budget Director Goes
To Warm 5 Springs
To See Roosevelt
Says Efforts Are Being
Made to Cut Outlay Of
Non-PoIiticuI Funds
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
WARM SPRINGS, Ga, Nov. 81
Budget Director Harold D. Smith,
on his arrival here today for con-
ference with President Roosevelt,
asserted again that efforts were be-
ing made to whittle down substan-
TALLY the Governments eXpendi-
lures for nom military activities.
But, he added, "it is a whale of
job
Mr.. Smith carried a brief case
containing the budgets for the
Treasury and Justice Departments
and the Panama Canal. He said a
presidential decision was necessary
on the Treasury budget to prevent
a weeks delay in the work of the
House Appropriations Subcommit-
tee which handles the Treasury
supply bill.
| An Army bomber brought the
budget director from Washington
and he said he expected to fly back
to the Capital late today after his
talk with the President.
What the net result of the talk
would be was uncertain, but the
administration must add $500, 900 900
to expenditures for defense and
prime down other portions OF the
budget wherever feasible.
Sees Possible Deficit Cut.
That the Government will run
into the red" again appears GER
tain. But Mr.. Roosevelt has said
there was possibility, as compared
with this year, of cutting the deficit
| in half.
To accomplish that result, he said,
would require new tax to finance
the higher cost of defense. 1t would
require, also, he asserted, a con-
tinuation of the present increase in
Federal tax receipts, budget reduc-
tions in non-defense items. and con-
gressional adherence to whatever
budget is submitted.
The budget will cover the year
beginning next July /. It will esti-
mate for Congress how much the
administration believes the Govern
ment must spend during the year
and how much money will tinkle
into the Treasury's tills to foot the
bills.
The session today was just one
OF series of conferences the Presi-
dent has been holding in recent
weeks with his budget officer.
Gov. E. D. Rivers of Georgia, gen.
orally considered a New Deal sup
porter, was on the presidential
calling list this morning.
Called Routine Visit.
While Gov Rivers may have a say
in controlling Georgia's delegates to

ton next year, the temporary White
House said the visit was non-political
and routine. Gov. Rivers always
drops in when the President comes
to Warm Springs.
The President spent a quiet Sab
bath at the Warm Springs Infantile

morning services at the chapel where
persons OF all faiths may worship,

Mrs. Roosevelt Says
She d Be Willing 10
Answer DiesQ Queries
'Anybody's Questions
Asked in Interest of
Truth Would Get Reply

Mrs. Roosevelt, whose name has
frequently cropped out at sessions
of the Dies Committee. told her
press conference today she would be
willing to answer "anybody's ques-
tions that were asked me in the
interest Of truth"-including any
asked by the Dies Committee
Asked about the debate by MAIL"
which climaxed in a youth leader
expressing a desire to appear before
the Dies Committee in opposition
to the Presidents wife, Mrs. Roose-
velt said she wouldn't care to ap-
pear in opposition to anybody, but
that she would be delighted" if
there were any information she
could give that would be of value
before the Dies Committee or any
one else.
She said she had never been asked
to appear before the Dies Commit
tee and had no intention of volun-
teering. However, in answer as to
whether she would appear if re-
quested, she replied:
I would answer anybody's QueS-
ton that were asked me in the in
terest of truth"
How 1t Came Up.
The exchange of letters which
raised the question was between
Mrs. Roosevelt and Alfred M Lilien-
thai, vice chairman of the Provi-
sional Committee for American
Youth, on whether the American
Youth Congress is communistic.
Mrs Roosevelt said she had no OBJ
lection to the latter publishing her
letter in which she outlined why she
didn't agree with his charges of
communism in the youth movement
but that she objected generally to
any one making public correspond
ence IN which any part of what she
said was deleted. She said she had
not heard of the letters being pub
Ished until the newspaper clipping
was shown her at her press confer
ence today and that she didn't
know whether everything she said
he'd been included.
Asked whether she favored raising
money for national defense by tax
alton or borrowing, she said she
would like to see the United States
pay for its defense as it goes along
to be conscious of what it is paying
for so we could compare it with
what we might have, if we had a
world which was peaceful world,
to spend on other things"
Pay As You Go.
She explained that she favored
raising the money through taxation
because cts better to pay as you go
and know what you're spending"
She said she considered enlarging
the national defense as an insurance
for peace, but that it was current
thing which should not be con-
sldered in relation to what is going
to happen in the future.
At her press conference, she also
spoke in favor of the American
Youth Commission S recommended
ton for Nationwide public health
program, and reiterated her ap-
proval of the commissions discus
sion of job possibilities for youth.
Told that the price of retail sugar
is still 20 per cent above what it
was in August, despite the fact that
the price of raw sugar has gone
down, Mrs. Roosevelt said she
planned to investigate the matter of
prices and admitted that on the
information she now had it seemed
to her that housewives might have
to decide to use honey instead of
sugar until the retail price of sugar
comes down.
