= ON THIlE WASHINGTON
 FRONT
| . q
By Jack Stinnett

WASHINGTON The nations capital probably is working overtime these days harder and longer than any other city in the United States. but Washington's No. example of busyness as usual is President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
 No two days at the White House are exactly alike but the pattern is sufficiently set, so that a typical day can be described without exag- geration.
 Awake with the squirrels on the White House lawn. the President starts work even before he has dres- sed or had breakfast. First off is his conference with his White House
The Wrangell sentinel., 1941-11-14

right-handers. the little group of men who help him work out the plans for the day and see that the schedule comes off without a hitch
 Ringleader Of this little group is. stephen Early who not only is eyes. and ears for the President but is his Jason man with press and radio and through them with the whole world While be is dressing and eating his usually hearty breakfast. the Pres ident lays his plans for the day ticks off his appointments. and oth= erWise gets his ducks in a straight line for a stretch of work that may run from 10 to 16 hours.
 Often present for these early morning sessions is the White Houses star boarder. Harry Hopkins who. as administrator of lend-Iease and a member of the overall Ma tionaI Defense Council. is the Pres ident's finger in just about. all the important pies there are in Wash ington these days.
 Off to his study in the White House proper or to the Oval room in the west wing which contains the executive offices. the President be- gins by nine his eternal round of conferences. Perhaps 1t starts with the Big Four of Congress. Senators Barkley and Connally; Reps. Ray burn and Mccormack. for a session on some vital piece Of legislation
 Then may come Undersecretary! of State Sumner Welles to fill the Presidents ear with latest develop-l ments on the diplomatic front Af-l ter that, perhaps a diplomat or two, probably one from Central or South America. for the representatives of our neighbors to the south are find-| ing now that the White House latch string is always out.
 If the President has a speech in the offing. an almost certain lunch con guest is Judge Samuel Sammy the Rose" Rosenmann. editor-in- chief of Rooseyelts public pro- nOuncements as well as his state papers. But if it isn't the judge. 1t might be Secretary Morgenthau, to talk over taxes; or Admiral Harold R. Stark for a private report on what the navy is doing to combat sub marine sinkings around Iceland
 Perhaps by p. m. the President will have decks cleared for a little paper work, but even then he is not content to do just one thing at al time. As when recently, President Camacho of Mexico asked the Pres ident to sit for a portrait by Painter Armando Drechsler. which when finished will be presented to the Un- tied States, Roosevelt chose his pal per work time for oelng a model.
 If it's Friday and 1 p. m., the President will rock back in his chair, l cock his long cigaret holder at it's jauntiest and receive the press-an ordeal that may last anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes-and almost in-f Yariably begins with an exchange of quips with those newsmen and wom- en nearest his desk and always ends with (often planted to terminate the conference at the psychological mo- ment) some reporter shouting Thank you, Mr. President"
 Another conference or two, per haps a 30 minute dip in the White House pool, and then dinner. There | are no formal, White House ban quets these days and the little fam i fly dinners are frequent but more often there are guests, ranging from ? to a dozen.

Jews Ask
More Arms

Asserting that the existence in
Palestine of ga Jewish community
of unquestiOned loyalty and deter
minatiOn" represents an important
asset for Britain in the defense
of the Middle East, Colonel Josiah
c. WedgwOOd,.- veteran. LabOrite
member of the House of Commons,
urged that the British Govern
ment give the Jews of Palestine
sufficient arms to defend them
selves against attack by the Nazi
forces. Colonel WedgwOOd, who
arrived in this country in a Brit
ish convoy early this week, made
this statement at luncheon Civ
en- in his honor.
II firmly believe that the eag-
erness of the Jews in Palestine to
participate fully in the defense
of their country should be met by
Britain in the spirit and in the
measure of that eagerness", the
noted British statesman said.
1.-THE Jews have offered much
more than Britain has accepted.
1t is high time that Jewish young
men and women in Palestine be
organized and trained for taking
the places to which they are en-
titled on the battle fronts of the
Middle East. It is high time that
a Palestine Home Guard on the
model of the Home Guard that
stands ready to defend the British
Isles, be adequately equipped and
armed.
"The tide of the, war is moving
east. People should bear in mind
that it has taken that course not
because the NaZi war machine has
chosen it, but because they have
found the opposite course blocked
by the British Isles, now become
a formidable, and some people be-
lieve, an impregnable fortress.
ut would be rash to make a
prediction with regard to the out
come of the titanic struggle now
in progress for the Middle East.
I shall refrain from joining either
the optimists or the pessimists,
but I can state confidently that
the empire forces now assembled
on the battle fronts of the Mid
die East will defend their positions
as tenaciously as if they were the
heart of Britain itself.
"AmOng the many fronts that
the tide of battle has brought in
to existence, the most recent is
that which lies between Syria and
Palestine. 1 consider it most for
tunate for our cause that Britain
possesses in Palestine, as an ally,
a Jewish community Of unques-
toned loyalty and determination.
1 believe that the Arab commune
ty too is, by and large, loyal to
Britain.

Week In Review
heath ON CAPITOL HILL
a, MILLION SRoWN. J.T.A.

. CONGRESSMAN died last week
|. the lobby of the House, but
.ho story is more than an Obitu-
sr II serves to dramatize a
s;snificant situation developing in
the United States.
The Congressman was M. Mich
al Edelstein of New York. He
dod of a heart attack a few min
1,tes after making a fervent
sueech replying to anti-Semitic ut
terances of Rep. John A. Rankin
If Mississippi. The House, which
had cheered Edelstein's reply, was
shocked to learn of his death and
adjourned for the day as a token
Of mourning.
Rankin, who has frequently
brought anti-Semitic innuendOes
into his speeches on the floor,
charged that "Wall Street and a
little group of our international
Jewish brethren" were attempting
10 harass the President "intO
pIunging us into the European
war"
The statement created a COM
motion in the House and Edelstein
managed to get the floor, obtained
unanimous consent to speak and
denounced the attempt to use the
Jews as a scapegoat. He point
ed out that the practice of coup
ling Jews with international bank
ers had been started by Hitler.
after his speech Edelstein, who
had been suffering from a heart
alment, left the chamber, col
lapsed in a chair and died.
The tragic incident cast glar-
ing spotlight ON the attempts of
some isOIatiOniSts to make a jew
iSh issue of Americas prepare
lions to defend democracy against
Hitlerism. Ranlxin's speech was
only different in degree from the
utterances of William Dudley Pei

This paper, stuffed under the
doors of Congressmen's offices
