WASHINGTON, April 3-(R
President Roosevelt, q well
informed legislator said today.
has told congressional leaders
that suggestions for using the
navy TO convoy supplies abroad
were "too absurd to talk about"
at this time.
On Capitol Hill, however, OPP
ponents of the convoy idea
showed reluctance to accept this
as the final word, and one OF
them said he had information
that the question of conveying
ships as far as Iceland was under
consideration.
Several Republicans said they
had voted against the senate's
taking q Today Easter recess
with the House because they
were afraid that some action In.
volving conveys might develop
during their absence.
Senator Tobey (R-N.H.) has
a resolution pending which
would prohibit the use of u. S.
navy vessels for convoy duty
and is seeking to force action
on II by the Senate foreign rela.
tios committee.
President Roosevelt's COM
ment On the convoy question
was reported to have been made
during his conference with con.
gressional leaders this week.
He was asked q direct question,
the legislator said. regarding
the possibility of conveys to as
sure delivery Of American
lease-lend military equipment
to ports in the European war
zone.
The president. It was said,
dismissed the matter brusquely
with the remark that II was "too
absurd to consider at the mo-
ment.
Chairman George (D-Ga.) Of
the Senate foreign relations
committee, said he had heard
nothing to indicate that the ad-
ministration was thinking Of in
augurating conveys, and he pre-
dicted that the president would
not act without consulting Con-
gress.
In Georges opinion. the presi-
dent would have the legal au-
thority to order naval escorts for
merchantmen to any port where
the ships may 90 legally. The
Neutrality Law. he pointed out,
prohibits American ,shippins
from entering the eosnbat zones
defined by presidential proc
lamation. s
As to Iceland, George noted
that the island was not now
within the confines Of the COM
bat zone. However. he said.
there might be . question Of In
ternational law involved on sea
traffic to Iceland, because the
little kingdom. which the Brit
ish have occupied, was recently
included In Germany's extend
ed coumter-b blockade area. !.
With the convoy question re-
portedly eliminated for the time
being. there was speculation as
to the nature Of the purely
naval matter" which Mr. Roose-
welt discussed late yesterday
with. SECRETARY OF Navy Knox
and Admiral Harold r. Stark.
The two navy officials stayed
behind for the talk after the
two-hour conference which the
president held with Z cabinet
council and military chiefs. De-
tails Of this conference were

ADULTERATED OLIVE
OIL is BEING SEIZED
Large Stocks Have Been Seized
In Maryland by Officials

Dr. R. H. Riley, Director of the
State Department of Health, calls at
tention to d warning from the Bureau
of Food and Drugs of the Department
to prospective purchasers of olive oil
to look very carefully at the product
they buy and be sure they are getting
genuine olive oil and not a mixture Of
cotton seed or other vegetable oils
favored with trace of olive oil.
''Unless you are very sure Of the
product you buy" Dr.. Riley said, "you
are likely to find yourself paying olive
oil prices for inexpensive substitutes.
Large stocks of adulterated and
misbranded oil found in retail and
wholesale establishments under the
label Of pure olive oiP were rounded
up recently by the Bureau as a result
of a routine inspection by a member
of the field staff. Because Of the scar
city of pure olive oil on the market
due to the decrease in importations
resulting from European war eondi-
tions, and of the high cost of the small
stock on hand, suspicion was imme-
diately aroused as to the claims made
in the samples offered for sale.
"a series of tests made at the State
laboratories on the original samples
and on subsequent purchases, proved
the substitution of a large amount Of
adulterants, principally cotton seed oil
or other inexpensive oils, for the gen
uine olive oil. The product offered for
sale was marketed under various trade
names including italia Brand Su-
preme Olive Oil Imported' Lucca
Italia; 'Olio d Olivia Vergine Lucca
Brand Prodotto Italiano'; 'Olio d. Oh
iva Pure Gioiosa Brand, and 'Olio d.
Olivia Supreme Importato'.
Cover 861 gallons of oil in gallon
containers-mislabeled as olive oil
and near 10000 bottles (29,85O to
/ be exact) containing from one and a
/ half ounces upward of the adulterated
product were accordingly detained by
the State Bureau of Foods and Drugs
under the Pure Food and Drug laws of
Maryland.

An Appeal Is Made By The Local
Welfare Board For Foster Homes

In the County.
To The Editor of The Republican:
The Garrett County Welfare Board
has the responsibility of seeing that
children, who are homeless and with
out proper care and guardianship, are
placed in "Foster Homes" in the
county. A foster home is then a sub
stitute home for the child, and it is
the Welfare Offices desire to find adj
ditional foster homes. This is neces-
sary because there are a number of
children who have been referred to the
Welfare Office in the past few
months, who need homes
The child's mother may have died
and the father cannot stay home to
take care Of him, and at the same
time make a living-nor can he Sc
cure competent housekeeper. The
father may ask the County Welfare
Board to place his child in a foster
home. The Court often refers children
to the Welfare Office for Foster
Home Placement, when it finds that
children are being neglected or mis-
treated by their own family. Par
ents may not be able to handle a So
called delinquent child and may APP
peal to the Court which, in turn, may
refer the case to the Welfare Office.
Situations like these create the need
to have in the county, people who are
willing to take other peoples chill
dren into their homes.
At this time the Garrett County
Welfare Board has several children to
be placed and not enough foster
homes in which to place them. These
children range in age from six
months to Is years, have quite diff
ferent backgrounds and present in
dividual problems, thus, creating a
need for variety of homes Funds
are available from the Welfare
Board for nominal payments, for
basic expenses of these children.
The State law requires that homes
measure up to certain physical stand
ards and it is necessary for the
homes to be licensed but not at the
expense of the foster parents. The
Welfare Board has the obligation of
visiting the homes at intervals dur
ing the child's stay, to see if it can
be of any help to the foster parents
and also to see how the child is adj
justing in that particular home stu
alton.
Application for a license for foster
home care can be made at the We'll
fare Office, which office is located in
the First National Bank Building,
Oakland, Md. We invite you to come
in and talk with US regarding this
situation. We need homes at once and
