NEW YORK, May 23.-There IS
no privacy for Private Citizen James
A. Farley.
Although he has been out of the
national limelight for eight months
the big fellow has about as much
chance for obscurity as a movie idol
on Broadway.
He's reveling in his role as a
big businessman and enjoying his
new freedom from the pressure of
eight terrific years as Democratic
national chairman and Postmaster
General.
He has no. regrets, he says, over
climbing outside the ropes of the
political arena, while his family is
delighted to have him once again
as more or less stable member of
the household instead of a once-in-
awhile visitor between hops about
the country at the rate of $4,000
miles year
But nevertheless, Jim Farley still
belongs to the people and his Office
would like a convention hall today
If all those trying to see him were
permitted past his efficient secre-
tary.

callers-job hunters. fellows who

He said he had been under the i'm

interview. Il have no political am
billions. I'm more concerned now
with the well-being of our country
and the hope that we come through
without getting involved in this war.
And, too, can't afford political
ambitions"
There's talk, of course, that Mr..
Farley be drafted to run as Mayor of
the City of New York or as Governor
of the State
Hopes to Control Yankees.
There's a possibility he could be
lured back into the national political
ring by the assurance of nominal
ton as President or Vice President.
But he declines to discuss these
speculations, just as he avoids any
talk Of his rift with President Roose-
welt over the third-term nomination
at Chicago last year.
It's no secret that Mr.. Farley's
greatest ambition at present is to
get control of the New York Yankee
baseball chain. He heads a syndi-

Defense Strikes Called
Criminal by Knudsen
IA the Associated Press.

- the Associated fress.
NEW YORK, April l7.-Denounc-
ing "as criminal strikes called to
take advantage of the defense pro-
gram, William S. Knudsen says this
situation is almost like men fight
ing about who should hold the hose
when the house is on fire."
The director of the Office of Pro-
duction Management told the semi
annual dinner of the Academy Of
Political Science last night that "a
good percentage" of last months
strikes were outlaw" walkouts for
something not allowed in the con-
tract.
He said Surisdictional strikes were
plain stupid and that when work
was plentiful as now it is perfectly
absurd that two locals, generally Of
the same union. should stop to argue
who does what"
OF organization strikes he placed
the highest blame on some of the
more radical unions for taking ad-
vantage of the defense program in
trying to get fundamental advan-
tage in their contracts, such as
closed shop, union show or the like"
when I realize" he declared,
"that the hours lost might produce
engines and bombers, guns and
tanks, or ships, then I hope for

to get some sense into all of our
heads and to realize that this thing
must stop"

Supplies being distributed by the
American Red Cross to the children
of unoccupied France also were be-
lieved largely responsible for this
attitude. None of the supplies is
consumed by the adults or reaches
other destinations. Travellers who
have talked with parents of some
of the children receiving this aid
report their gratitude in many
cases reaches an emotional pitch
which makes them unable to speak"
Two shiploads of the special relief
supplies for children have been sent
into the unoccupied zone. The dis
tribution received wide publicity, as
did arrangements for sending two
shiploads of flour for Red Cross
distribution among the general
population of unoccupied France to
help relieve the bread shortage.
Two French ships carrying the
-four as gift from the Red Gross
were scheduled to sail today. The
shipments were arranged after the
British government agreed to pass
them through its blockade.

State Sumner Welles, presumably
to urge further relief.
1t appeared doubtful, however,
that any more food shipments to
France would be permitted, for the
time being at least, in view of q
recent barter deal between un-
occupied and occupied France and
other developments which have
served to stiffen British reluctance
to relax further the blockade.

Pro-AIIied Sentiment
In France Checks Axis
Tie, Washington Told
U. S. Food for Children
Declared Potent Force
In Revivine Hope
By GARNETT ID. HORNER.

Strong pro-Amernan and pro-
British sentiment. has developed
among the French population to the
extent of providing check against
closer collaboration between the gov
ernment of unoccupied France and
Germany, according to reports
reaching Washington today.
The reports indicate that recent
developments in the European sit
uation and progress in this country's
program of aid to Britain and her
allies have brought in France re-
surgence of hope for delivery from
Germany.
There was said to be no imme-
diate prospect of any definite action
to help Britain or to rebel openly
against the armistice terms imposed
by Germany. However, the pre-
vailing sentiment among the French
population was described as strong
enough to hold back any Nazi-in-
fluenced government from going too
far or too fast along the road of col
'laboration with the saxis. -
Darlan Declared MIstrusted.
+ The general attitude In France
was said to be one of admiration
and loyalty to Marshal Petain. head
Of the Vichy government, but one
of distrust toward Admiral Darlan,
vice premier. who is considered vio-
lently anti-British and disposed to-
ward closer cooperation with Ger
many.
The French population-both in
the unoccupied and occupied zones
has been showing its feelings in
many ways, according to the reports
reaching here. At the end of March
there were public demonstrations at
Marseille. At Lyon cheering crowds
appeared before the American con-
sulate. On the walls of many towns
in France there appeared inscrip-
tions indicating the hopes and faith
of Frenchmen toward ultimate Brit
ish victory.
Anti-axis enthusiasts in occupied
France have been writing "Vive la
Yugoslavio" and "Vive pAmerique. "
The city of Moulins in occupied ter
ritory recently was fined 100000
francs by the German authorities in
an attempt to stop this practice.
Walls of buildings in Paris have
been covered with "V's" (for

the country are particularly active
in demonstrating their feelings.

Ex-Capone Men Hunted
In Arena Hayinq Quiz
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. April 17.-Police today
hunted remnants of the old Capone
mob for questioning to determine
whether John F. Arena, 43, editor
of an Italian language newspaper,
might have been the victim of a
vengeance killing by hired assassins.
Mr.. Arena, who editorially accused
members of the italian Consulate
staff here of fifth column activities,
was shot down Tuesday night after
he and young woman left movie
theater.
1t. William Drury said police were
unable yesterday to locate members
of the old Capone crowd. He said
those sought included Phillip DAN
drea,. former Capone associate and
part owner of L'Italia, an Italian
newspaper with which Mr.. Arenas
La Tribuna had fought edltorially.
Police said they understood DAN
drea was confined in a Michigan
hospital 1t. Drury said he also
would like to talk to Frank Diamond,
a former Capone follower and good
friend" of D'Andrea.
Mr.. Arena started La Tribuna
after his discharge from LItalia be-
cause of differences with its owners
over policies.
