ROOSEVELT MADE
 TARGET OF NAZIS
Message of President Not Taken Kindly By Press
 of That Nation
By EDWARD w. BEATTIE, JR. Limited Press Staff Correspondent

By EDWARD w. BEATTIE, JR. Limited Press Staff C0rrespondent)
 Berlin, Jan. 5.-(UP)-Nazi circles which are usually well-informed re- ported today that Fuehrer Adolf Hitler might personally answer President Roosevelt's challenge to the Relationships.
 While the controlled press fired criticism at MT. Roosevlet's address to congress as destructive of inter- national peace, reliable political sources speculated on suggestions that Hitler would strike back for Nazi Germany at the meeting of the reichstag-representing greater Ger many for the first time-on January 30.
 It was understood that Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop discussed the Roosevelt speech with Hitler at Berchtesgaden this after noon and that the attitude to be taken by Nazi otficialdom.
 Nazi Conclusions
 Diplomatic and political sources appeared to be in agreement on the following conclusions regarding MT. Roosevelt's address,.
 1-The controlled Nazi press henceforth will put emphasis on its argument that there is a pronounced split between MT. Roosevelt and the American people in their attitude toward the Relationships.
 2-There is no indication at pres ent of a formal break in diplomatic relations with Washington, although what the press terms further pro- vocation" by American statesmen might cause break.
 3-Any possibility that Hans Hein-

Dictatorships Bitter, Democracies In Praise Totalitarans Interpret Presidents Message as Threat
 to Themselves News For Peace Loving Nations in Other Side
By SIDNEY J. WILLIAMS United Press Staff Correspondent


 London, Jan. 5-(UP)-Denuncia- tion came from dictatorships and praise from democracies today while European leaders studied the mes sage of President Roosevelt to the 76th Congress.
 More and more plainly, comment on the message indicated, the Euro pean Relationships saw the United States as a potential enemy and democracies saw it as a powerful friend.
 In totalitarian countries, appar- ently, the presidents plea for strong American defenses seemed to be interpreted as threat; in Great Britain and France, the presidents call for unity and strength, and his criticism that the present neu- trality law favorS aggreSSorS, were taken as good news for peace loving nations.
 Speech Re-BrOadcast
 How many among Europe'S 550,- 100000 people were able to read a fair summary of the presidents message, let alone hear it over the radio, was problematical. The speech was re-broadcast in Great Britain by the government-controlled Brit ish Broadcasting Company, which enjoys a monopoly. Reception was perfect. Some radio listeners were able to hear this re-broadcast in Germany and Italy.
 In Italy, as is usual in the case of American broadcasts, "atmos- pherics" interfered with the mes sage. ...-
 In Germany, the official news agency circulated excerpts from the message. German newspapers em-

Is Advocated as
Public Health Guard
Southern SoeioIoeist
Says Freedom to Space
Children Should Be Equul

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, Nov. 10.-Limited birth
control acceptance was advocated
today as q public health function
necessary for developing Southern
human resources.
DR.. Rupert Vance, University OF
North Carolina research professor
Of sociology, speaking before the
Southern Conference on Tomorrow's
Children, urged adoption of the
principle that freedom to space"
births should be made equal for all
classes.
IF we accept the view that
moderately well-to-do families will
increasingly rely on the advice of
family physicians" Prof. Vance said,
I'VE may finally come to accept the
view that contraceptive services for
mothers-too poor to employ family
physicians-should be accepted by
the State as public health func-
ton"
Prof. Vance. author of several
books. asserted there is a demand
for further equalization of oppor-
tunities for educational and voca-
tional training, so that, regardless
Of the place of BIRTH" maturing
youth may be prepared for ."our
complex economy"
