Mrs. Roosevelt will have nothing
to do with the American Youth
Congress at it's meeting here this
week because it would mean she was
APPARENTLY in agreement with foreign
policies she does not approve, she
said at her press conference today.
Besides refusing to address the
congress town meeting of youth
on Friday, Mrs. Roosevelt also will
make no effort to provide housing
for them as she did last year.
She said the group would not be
able to get the Departmental Audi
torium for its meetings, as it did last
year, because no Government Off
cial will sponsor it. To meet in a
Federal building, the group must
be a Government one or sponsored
by a Government official, she ex-
planned, and no official wants to
take the responsibility for appar-
emily agreeing with the group.
Her decision, and that of Govern
ment officials, to divorce themselves
from the activities of the youth
group, she explained, came as a
result of the foreign policies it set

vent this, Mr.. Hale added, he had
brought action in Supreme Court,

LONDON, Feb. 3.-BritiSh planes
bombed targets in the northwestern
part of German-occupied France in
a pre-daWn attack today, the gov
ernment announced, in a continual
ton of week end thrusts by day
against axis obiectlves from Flan-

A Ministry of Information an

An earlier admiralty announce
ment said British naval aircraft

of the main sources of power sup

with other R. A. F. daylight attacks
on German-occupied ports and air~
dromes along the invasion coast"

for itself at its conference in Geneva,
Wis, last summer.
Before that time, she said, many
people felt there was room for ar
gufnent. The attitude of the con-
gress, as set at the conference, she
said, means whatever the United
States does for England is a step
toward leading this country into
war.
She also said she had refused to
talk at the youth meeting because
a great many people who had at
tended the meeting here last year
would come again and would set the
trend. She considered it a waste
of time" to repeat what they al
ready knew about her attitude.
Still speaking of the youth group,
she said something was fundamen-
tally wrong in indifference how the
war in Europe turns out, or in the
slightest doubt which side would
give the United States a better
chance of working out its policies.

SPLIT. Yugoslavia, Feb. "a
concerted British-Greek submarine
campaign against Italian military
supply routes deep in the Adriatic
Sea was indicated today by reports
that seven italian vessels had been
sunk recently.
Travellers from the Yugoslav
island of Wis Gissa), so miles south
of here, reported that a submarine
today sank the Italian freighter
Vittorio Benito. of about 5000 tons,
and another unidentified 6,000-ton
Italian vessel.
CThere is no Vittorio Benito in
Lloyd's Registry of Shipping, but
it lists the 4595-ton Italian mer-
chant ship Vittorio VenetoD
A heavy loss of life also is indi-
Gated A small italian rescue vessel,
riddled with maChine-gun bullets,
reached tthe island of Sofia last
night with two dead italian sailors.
In Milna Bay, on the island of
Hvar, six italian bodies were re-
ported washed ashore from the
auxiliary warship Armago. Ten
others were said to have been buried
in the past two days on Hvar and
there were reports of many bodies
seen floating at sea.
With submarines reported operat-
ing as far as 230 miles north of
Otranto and off Yugoslav islands
half way up the sea, many italian
freighters are said to have taken
refuge in Yugoslav ports.
Two are reported at the island
of Hvar and three at the island of
Brao, south of here and just off the
Yugoslav mainland, and their Italian
masters are said to have refused
to leave without a warship escort.

1000 Housing Units
For Defense Workers
Here Recommended
l4,375 Dwellings in 81
Cities Are Proposed in
Co-ordinotor's Program
BY JAMES FREE.

Construction of 1000 family
dwelling units in the Washington
area was recommended to Presi-
dent Roosevelt today as part of a
national program to relieve IAN
acute shortage" in cities engaged in
defense activities. The program
proposed building of a total of
1875 housing units in "a cities in
the United States, and at points in
Alaska and Puerto Rico.
While details of the recommended
tionS will not be revealed until after
the President has studied the pro-
posal made today by C. F. Palmer,
defense housing co-ordinator, it was
understood that the dwelling units
for this area would have a shelter
rental of $40 to $50 month. Nine
hundred and 10 of the projected
houses would be for civilian en-
ployes and the remaining 80 would
be for Army enlisted personnel.
May Be Built in Virginia.
Exact location of these houses
was not disclosed. But it was indi-
Gated that they would probably be
in nearby Virginia, as have been
most of the defense housing units
previously recommended for this
area, or in neighboring Maryland.
In commenting on his recommen-
dations, Mr.. Palmer said:
National defense activities in the
localities involved have caused
sudden and immediate need for the
number of dwelling units indicated
for occupancy by persons of limited
income engaged in national defense
activities. Such need cannot be pro-
vided for by private capital, either
because the extent thereof is beyond
the capacity of normal building ac-
tivity in the area or the continuance
of need is so uncertain or the rentals
SO limited that private capital can
not afford to take the risks involved"
He added that his recommended
tions had been made in cooperation
with Government departments and
agencies concerned.
None to Cost More Than $500.
To date, defense housing has been
carried out under two general plans.
In one, the Army and Navy have
been allotted S5O,OO0,00O each to care
for housing of enlisted personnel
and workers engaged in defense
projects. In the other, approximate
" S140,O00,000 was allocated in the
Lanham Act; this was to be handled
primarily through the Federal Works
Agency, which is also supervising the
Arny's part of the program. The
Navy is managing its part separately.
None of the dwellings proposed
can cost more than $500 under
the housing acts.
Places and number of units rec
commended under Mr. Palmer's pro-
gram follow:
