Nothing Would Induce
Her 10 Hold Office,
Mrs. Roosevelt Says
Won't Make Compoien
Tour; Column to
Continue Five Years

Mrs. Roosevelt declared today:
Nothing would induce me to run
for anything or have any appointed
office at any time"
The assertion was made at her
press conference in denying rumors
that she would variously be named
president of Bryn Mawr College and
be candidate for Senator from
New York.
Mrs. Roosevelt also denied, with a
smile, that she would make a cam
paign tour for the Democratic party
this summer.
The proceeds from her new radio
show, which starts April 80, she
said, would be sent to the American
Friends Society and other char
liable groups after income taxes
had been deducted.
Regardless whether her address is
the White House or Hyde Park, Mrs.
Roosevelt said. her syndicated COL
umn will continue for five years
Answering what she termed very
clever question" from one reporter
who tried to discover the Presidents
third-term ambitions, Mrs. Roose-
welt said she had renewed her con-
tract for five years.
The column, she said. had been
called harmless" by the President,
"as I only write a diary"

Administration Seen
Opposing Bill 10
Curb Agencies
House Approval Of
Loqun-WuIter Measure
Forecast, However
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Roosevelt administration was
represented in congressional circles
today as strongly opposed to the
Logan-Walter bill to create uniform
procedure for Federal administra-
tive agencies.
Nevertheless, both sides predicted
the House would join the Senate in
approving the measure.
Representative Celler, Democrat,
Of New York said the bill was op-
posed by most independent Govern
ment agancies, as we'll as every
member of President ROOSEVELT s
cabinet, primarily because it would
try to regulate their diverse func-
tions by a single yardstick.
While the House debated the long
pending proposal, the Senate ar
ranged to vote on bill for six new
District judgeships and three addi-
tional Circuit Court judgeships.
Sessions Cut Short.
But the opening baseball game of
the season-With President Roose-
velt throwing out the first ball
drew scores of members from the
Capitol, and leaders in both Senate
and House agreed to cut short the
sessions.
Representative Cox, Democrat, of
Georgia, beginning debate on the
Logan-Walter bill yesterday, COM
planned that the thinking" of many
new administrative agencies was
rooted in doctrines that emanate
from Russia" Representative Wal
ter, Democrat, of Pennsylvania,
House sponsor, argued that opposi-
ton to the measure came from those
opposed to the United States form
of government.
Majority Leader Rayburn said
that while he was maintaining an
open mind, he was not certain he
could bring myself to vote for this
kind of a bill"
Wants S. E. c. Included.
He questioned the advisability of
exempting such agencies as the Fed
eral Trade Commission, the Inter-
state Commerce Commission and
the Federal Reserve Board, and not
exempting the Securities and Ex-
change Commission, the Power
Commission and the Federal Com
municationS Commission.
Mr.. Cox shouted that there could
be no greater blunder" than to
exempt the S. E. c. He added:
That commission has the same
philosophy as most of these new
agencies that have been set up IN
recent years, whose thinking is ap-
parently rooted in doctrines that
emanate from Russia"
Representative Rankin, Democrat,
OF Mississippi contended the meas
ure was lone of the most dangerous"
ever presented to Congress and ex-
pressed the fear that it would
"paralyze' functions of many agen-
cies. 1t provides for a quick court
review of their administrative de-
cisions.

Marian Anderson Dispute
Revived by Plea 10 D. A. R.

A year-old controversy was aired
again today when the Daughters of
the American Revolution received a
telegram from the Marian Anderson
Citizens Committee urging them to
lift the ban on Negro artists appear
ing in Constitution Hall.
The refusal of the D. A. R. to
allow Marian Anderson to sing at
the hall last spring caused nation
wide comment and resulted in Mrs.
Roosevelt resigning from the organi-
zation.
The telegram, signed by Charles
H. Houston, chairman, and John
Lowell, jr., secretary of the commit
tee, stated:
"As the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution meet to consider the
problems of national defense and
protection of the home front, we
suggest that the ultimate defense
of the Nation must rest not only
on battleships and armaments, but
also on an unconquerable devotion
to country in the heart of the people.
Your congress can make a fine con-
tribution toward cementing the bond
between black and white citizens
by removing the ban on Negro
artists appearing in Constitution
Hall. This will be both a recogni-
ton to art and significant demon
stration that America today is in
fact democracy. We honestly ask
reconsideration and removal of this
gratuitous wrong to the pride and
heart of your Negro fellow citizens" {"

books in which we dare show no
quarter"
Mr.. Stevenson earlier had sharply
criticised the text books on Ameri-
can life and traditions, written by
Profs. Harold Rugg and George S.
Counts, both of the teachers COL
lege of Columbia University.
IF through any sense of false
tolerence," he said, I'VE fail to guard
the neutrality of our public schools
on controversial, political, social and
economic questions, the teachers who
follow Profs. Counts, Rugg and
others like them will drive the COM
ing generation toward a cooperative
commonwealth, with it's planned
economy, its bureaucracy and its
lack Of individual freedom"
The Daughters were advised by
Joseph Carleton Beal, lecturer and
journalist, to read the Daily Worker
and the New Masses and copy the

tactics.

the technique of boring from with
in mass appeal Of the Communists, -
he said, "but keep all activities in
the OPEN"
Urging the women to recognize
radicalism, he declared: 1T is often
behind a respected citizen, even
unto the White House, that a radical
hides"
He decried the "apathetic attitude
of the so-called average American
regarding the selection of public off,
cials, and urged that "our ballot boxes
be filled with constructive and intel
ligent votes for worthy officials,
picked by the people and not cor
rupt political machines"
Instead of demanding of our
Government to give us what we
need to exist" he said, I'VE should
be giving our Government the type
of elected officials it needs to exist"
After describing the elimination
of freedom and democratic princi-
Piles in totalitarian countries, Mr.
Beal advised the delegates:
Battle propaganda with propa-
ganda. Match issue for issue in a
relentless and persistent American
ism appreciation campaign"
Suppress or correct the mistaken
impressions that memberships OF
patriotic-historic orders comprise
narrow-minded and superior feel
ing individuals possessing social
prestige with an antipathy toward
the average citizen. Show the gen.
eral public how you are encouraging
new blood and younger blood and
not allowing all coveted offices of
Importance to remain in the hands
of only the older members"
Livingston Hartley, author of
"Our Maginot Line" declared that
the American people want two
things-to stay at peace themselves
and to see the allies win the war"
ENTRY into this war;" Mr.. Hart
ley said, would be a disaster for
our people, which could only be JUS
tilted on one ground-that it was
necessary in order to avoid far
greater disaster in the years that
lie ahead
He said, on the other hand, that
"our most vital national interests
demand that we help the allies win
this war"
If the allies win," he declared
"our future will be safeguarded on
the Atlantic for the years that lie
ahead. But if Germany wins
decisively, our future will be i'm
periled as it has not been since the
infant years of our republic"

lecture tour, Mrs. Roosevelt revealed
that the census taker had caught up
with her in a San Francisco hotel.
She said that she had explained to
him that she was there only for one
night and anyhow the President had
answered the census questions at the
White House, but she was told that
every one staying in hotels that day
mad to answer census questions.
Mrs. Roosevelt said Government
camps for migratory workers in Cali
fornla indicated how migratory
workers should live, but were only
temporary for the refugees from the
dust bowl. She also spoke briefly of
the Townsend plan, asserting that
crusaders are necessary, but all
things have to go more slowly than
the crusaders would like. She said
that DR.. Townsend, during his brief
interview at the White House, had
agreed with her that nothing should
be done for the aged that would
penalize youth.

Mr.. Davis described the mobiliZa-

the volunteer production of war
relief supplies, the special service
established to enable Americans to
communicate with relatives and
friends abroad and the setup of
the League of Red Cross Societies
whereby relief operations in Europe

He said the possibility of Ma
tion-wide appeal for funds had been
considered, but it was decided to
postpone an appeal to see what de-
velops abroad.
Terming the highways of Europe
"scenes of incredible human suf-
fering," he urged the delegates to
rededicate themselves to the preser-
vation in America of the concept Of
the good neighbor.
LET us keep the light of good will
burning through the blackout OF
distrust and greed and hatred until
a better day has dawned," he said.
McCoach Welcomes Delegates.
Col. David McCoach, jr., Engineer
Commissioner for the District of
Columbia, who greeted the delegates
in the absence of Commissioner
Melvin C. Hazen, told the Daughters
their "noble work commands con-
slant admiration" and said it was
a happy occasion for Washington
when it was selected as national
headquarters for the D. A. R.
The Right Rev. James E. Free
man, Bishop of Washington, de-
livering the invocation at D. A. r.

A tribute to Miss Janet Richards
of the District as the one member
of the D. A. r. who has attended
every D. A. R. Congress was paid
by Mrs. Robert, who then an
nounced the appointment of Miss
Richards as honorary chairman of
the golden jubilee.
AS Mrs. Robert presented a pin
signifying the honor to Miss Rich
ards, she praised the charter men,
ber whose sound judgment and
keenness of vision are evident in
the records of the congress-"
Miss Richards, in responding
promised that the pin would sur
mount all her foreign decorations.
Chapter Accomplishments Related.
Mrs. Robert made no formal
speech at the opening, as she did
last year, but, instead, discussed
the accomplishments of D. A. R
chapters throughout the country
briefly and told anecdotes illustrat-
ing how far reaching are the effects
of the D. A. R. projects.

That grand old greyhound of the
plains, the American stagecoach,
is the hero of the latest action
romance, "Stagecoach War;"
which opens Friday at the Royal
Theatre.
Typically American as the In

Harry Sherman has taken tn e

high speed communication over
trackless plains and links its story

The action of "Stagecoach War;
centers around a phase of the
express business in the old West
which was not only of tremendous
Importance to owners of stage
lines, but which provided much OF
the frontier entertainment of the
day. Before contracts to carry
mails and passengers were let out
by the larger express companies,
exhibitions were organized to pro-
vide rival contenders with an op-
portunity to show off their equip

broke up into breakneck races.
The occasions were gala, with

Ronald Colman Co-Star
With Ginger At Carolina

Making their debut as a CO.
starring team, Ronald Colman and
Ginger Rogers participate in a
sparkling set of movie adventures
in Lucky Partners" which pro-
vide an exhilarating lift for the
soul such as movie-goers haven't
experienced in a long while.
Lucky Partners" scheduled at
the Carolina Theatre for three days
starting Thursday, comes as one
of the seasons smartest and more
delightful laugh hits. With its set
ting in New York's Greenwich
Village, at a Niagara Falls hotel
and in a little upstate town, it
projects Ronald Coleman in the
role of a mysterious Village artist
and Ginger Rogers as a book store
clerk who is engaged to a SNUG
and selfish dim-wit. A chance oc-
currence leads Ginger to consider
Colman a talisman of luck, and
she persuades him to join her in
the purchase of a sweepstakes
ticket, whose winnings she seeks
in order to marry.
Colman recognizes in Ginger's
prospective husband a complacent,
armchair mate, and he makes
an odd stipulation-should tn e y
win, Ginger must accompany him
on a strictly platonic honeymoon
before she marries for the fiance
doesn't believe in wasting money
on anonymously. And Colman
even succeeds in gaining an agree
ment to his rash proposal from
the bridegroom-to-be! The ticket
draws a horse, and through a pre-
race sale prudently engineered by
the fiance, Colman and Ginger ac-
quire Sc, 900 and embark on their
pseudo-nuptial trip.

At the Niagara Falls honeymoon
hotel, Colman registers Miss Ro-
gers as his sister, but the romantic
atmosphere of the place and Col
mans growing regard for h i S
lovely companion begins to play
havoc with the platonic basis on
which they began. Aware of the
situation, Colman decided to slip
away quickly and return to New
York, for his own past is clouded,
and he doesn't dare propose mar
riage to Miss Rogers.
What happens thereafter, Wit h
the laundering would-be o m
coming into the picture Coleman's
arrest on a charge of stealing Miss
Rogers car, and the ensuing trail
that discloses Colman's real
identity, make for an %uproarious
ending to this distinctive piece OF
scree entertainment.
Ronald Colman and Ginger Rog-
ers have opportunities that enable
them to display their versatility
to the full. They are supported
by a notable cast, numbering Jack
Carson, who has appeared in sew
eral previous Rogers vehicles, as
the luckless fiance Spring Bying-

LAVA LAVA DOTS
NEWEST COSTUME
Lamour Replaces Sarorg
With New South Sea
Island Dress

Ranking with, if not surpasslng'

present the greatest storm Sc
quence ever put before Technicolor
cameras in .Typhoon' which
opens Monday at the Bijou the
atre with Dorothy Lamour a d
Robert Preston teamed.
Fire, typhoon and tidal wave are
brought together in a single furious
sequence, eliminating in a gale IN
which whole palm trees are up
rooted and go hurting by in the
tropic dusk.
In 'Typhoon," Dorothy appears
in a new South Sea island costume
"a bright swatch of close-hauled
cloth called a lava lava; scantier
than a sarong! She is cast in this
film as a young woman, C S t
away on a lonely island since child
hood, with only the company OF a
trained female chimpanee, Koko.
First visitors to Dorothy's lonely
Eden come in the persons of Rob-
ert Preston, Lynne Overman and
J.. Carol Naish, who arrive in
Overman's privately, owned sub
marine. Robert Preston strays
from his party and is found by
Dorothy and Koko. Dorothy liter
ally captures him, makes a scanty
cloth pareu for Bob to wear in
stead of his CIVILIZED clothes.
There follows an unusual love
story, between an uncivilized Dor
othy and a bewildered Robert Pres
ton.
Briefly, the action follows the
sailors arrival on Dorothy's Eden,
and the subsequent mutiny by ].
Carol Naish and his Kanaka crew.
Meanwhile, a vengeful Polynesian
Chief is pursuing the sailors, and
when he finds their island rendez-
vous, he burns the island in an at
tempt to destroy them all. The ty-
phoon, filmed in all its raging
s%plendour, wrecks his plans. But
in between those lines, there is
plenty of swift-moving action.
Dorothy sings a haunting love
song, palms of Paradise" which

parade. This picture gives Robert
