Labor Unions, Veterans

His Challenge to Axis

Reaction to President Roosevelt S

best the Chief Executive ever re-
ceived to any speech, White House
Secretary Stephen T. Early told his
press conference today.
Saying he had read part way
through a huge stack Of kilograms,
Mr.. Early told the conference he
had found pledges of full support
from many labor organizations,
management representatives. reli-
gious and civic groups and from a
lot of patriotic organizations, in
cluding veterans units"
Questioned about the expressions
of labor support, Mr.. Early said
many of them had come from locals
afflliated with the largest and most
influential international unions.
Mr.. Roosevelt's promise for In
creasing aid to nations opposing the
totalitarian axis was made during
a speech before the annual dinner
of the White House Correspondents
Association at the Willard Hotel
Saturday night. The address Gas
the Presidents most outspoken
challenge thus far to the Rome
Berlin Toxic bloc.
Informed that Britain's Prime
Minister Churchill had said that a
fleet of German surface and under
sea raiders is operating in American
waters, Mr.. Early said he had no
personal knowledge of such a situa-
tion.
'If they are" he added, 81 sus-
pect that everybody in this Govern
ment who should have knowledge
Of such development does have it. "
Still hopeful of leaving for a South

possesses, amid the sharpest shocks,
the faculty of survival in high and

"At such a moment and in such

an ocean-borne trumpet call that
we are no longer alone"
Welcome to Winant.
