Rosenman Expected
To Propose Changes
In Housing Setup
Removal of c. F. Palmer
As Co-ordinutor Seen
In Judges Suggestions

The expectation was voiced in in
formed quarters here yesterday that
Judge Samuel I. Rosenman, presi-
Dental trouble shooter, will make
recommendations on the defense
housing problem that would mean.
if adopted, the departure of Charles
F. Palmer from his post of defense
housing co-ordinator to some more
innocuous position within the Fed
eral Governments framework.
The Tolan Committee of the
House and Nathan Straus, mead of
the United States Housing Author
itv, both have testified since Judge
Rosenman undertook his housing
study for the President to their dis
satisfaction with the accomplish
ments and philosophy of Mr..
Palmer in the housing crisis.
Mr.. Straus, as an official charged
with public building. has come into
direct conflict with Mr.. Palmer, and
the Tolan Committee. officially
known as the Select Committee In
vestigating National Defense Mi
grafton, has inquired into the hous-
ing program in five public healHlgs
in San Diego. Hartford, Trenton,
Baltimore and Washington.
Committee Criticizes Agency.
The committee in its new interim
report to the House on its work
states:
The committee recommends the
reorganization of the Office of De-
fense Housing Coordination. This
recommendation is based on the evil
dence given the committee that
there is striking lack of co-ordina-
ton of Federal housing activities in
the defense communities.
Secondly. We believe that the
basic policy of this Office in relying
largely on private builders to meet
the pressing shortages has been
gravely in error"
The committees findings on the
housing need were these:
The committee believes that the

dations for national defense work.
ers, arising out of the national de-
fense emergency and aggravated by
the migration of several millions
of workers to defense centerS. re-
quires the immediate appropriation
of additional Federal funds and the
immediate construction of additional
housing for defense workers.
Use Of Public Funds Urged.
I'VE believe that the jor por-
ton of the defense housing program
must be done with public funds.
The committe urged that the
building be undertaken with Fed
eral funds because local communi-
ties are unable to meet this situa-
tion, which is national in scope"
and because private builders can
not build houses for the lower
income groups and even for the
income group represented by as
many as 80 per cent of the defense
worker population.
Representative Tolan of Califor-
MIA Is chairman OF the committee.
When Judge Rosenman reports,
it is supposed he will advocate
sweeping changes aimed at dealing
with public housing both for the
emergency period and from the per-
manent point of view. Even before
the urgent housing problems con-
nected with the defense program
was born. the Federal Government
had developed ramifed, overlap
ping public housing structure, in
volving many agencies.
John Carmody, head of the Fed
eral Works Agency, is also expected
to lose some of bis housing author
ity when the Rosenman report
comes through.

Prices of retail foods showed little
net change during the last half of

Prices of pork chops in the Dis

Loyalty cannot be bought. Dol
lars alone will not win this war.
Let US not delude ourselves as TO
that.
Today. nearly a million and a
half American citizens are hard at
work in our armed forces. The
spirit and the determination of
these men of our army and navy
are worthy of the highest tradi-
lions of our country. No better
men ever served under Washing
ton. or John Paul Jones. or Grant.
or Lee. or Pershing. That is a
boast, I admit-but it is not an
idle one.
Upon the national will to sacri.

survival of the vital bridge across

which carry the arms and food for
those who are fighting the good
fight.

From the bureaus of propa-

IAN inside job"-a job accom-
plished not by overpowering inva-
sion from without, but by
disrupting confusion and disunion
and moral disintegration from

Those who believed that knew
little of our history. America is
not a country which can be con-
founded by the appeasers, the
defeatists, the backstairs manu-
facturers of panic. 1t is country
which talks out its problems in
the open. where any man can
hear them.

great debate. 1t was not limited

Constant Abatement

In our press conferences. as al
this dinner tonight, we include re-
porters representing papers and
news agencies of many other lands.
To most of them il is matter
of constant amazement that press
conferences such as ours can exist
in any nation in the world.
That is especially true in those
lands where freedoms do not exist
where the purposes of our de-
mocracy and the characteristics of
our country and of our people have
been seriously distorted.
Such misunderstanding are not
new. remember that in the early
days of the first World War the
German government received sol
emn assurances from their repre-
sentatives in the United States
that the people of America were
disunited;. that they cared more
for peace at any price than for the
preservation of ideals and free
dom: that there would even be
riots and revolutions in the United
States if this nation ever asserted
its own interests.

The decisions of our democracy
may he slowly arrived at. But
when that decision is made, II is
proclaimed not with the voice OF
any one man but with the voice
of one hundred and thirty millions.
1t is binding on all of us. And the
world is no longer left in doubt.
This decision is the end of any
attempts at appeasement in our
land: the end of urging us to get
along with the dictatorS: the end
of compromise tyranny and
the forces of oppression.
The urgency is now.
We believe firmly that when our
production output is in full swing,
the democracies of the world will
be able TO prove that relationships

of supreme Importance. Every

Process OF Elimination

These modern tyrants find II
necessary to their plans to elimi-
nate all democracies-eliminate
them one by one. The nations OF
Europe. and indeed we ourselves,
did not appreciate that purpose
We do now. The process of the
elimination of the European ma
tions proceeded according to plan
through 1889 and 1910. until the
schedule was shot to pieces by
the unbeatable defenders oil
Britain.
The enemies of democracy were
wrong in their calculations for a
very simple reason. They were
wrong because they believed that
democracy could not adjust itself
to the terrible reality of world
at war.
They believed that democracy,
because of its profound respect for
the rights of men, would never
arm itself to fight.
They believed that democracy.
because of its will to live at peace
with its neighbors. could not mo-
billie its energies even in its own
defense.

Strengthen Meaning

BY winning now, we strengthen
their meaning. we increase the
stature of mankind and the dig
nifty of human life.
There is a vast difference be-
tween the word loyalty" and the
word obedience" Obedience can
be obtained and enforced in a die
tatorship by the use of threat and
extortion or it can be obtained by
failure on the part of govern
ment TO tell the truth TO its
citizens.
Loyalty is different. It springs
from the mind that is given the
facts. that retains ancient ideals
and proceeds without coercion to
give support to its own govern
ment.
That is true in England and in
Greece and in China and in the
United States today. And in many
other countries millions of men

The British are stronger than

which has enabled them to endure

nights of the past 10 months. They
have the full support and help of
Canada. and the other dominions,
of the rest of their empire, and
non-British people throughout the
world who still think in terms of
the great freedoms.
The British people are braced
for invasion whenever the attempt
may come-tomorrow-neXt week

In this historic crisis Britain is
blessed with a brilliant and great
leader in Winston Churchill But,
no one knows better than Mr.
Churchill himself. that il is not
alone his stirring words and
valiant deeds which give the Brit
ish their superb morale.
The essence of that morale is
in the masses of plain people who

they would rather die as free men
