Cooperation Expressed in
Message to Conference

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt declared to-
day that no greater burden has ever
been thrown on a single industry
than that of the steel industry IN
providing the backbone of the Amer
lean defense effort and meeting the
steel needs Of the nations fighting
the AXIS.
The Presidents message was sent
to William S. Knudsen. director OF
the Offce of Production Manage
ment, to be read to steel executives
gathered here for one-day confer
ence with defense officials.
Mr. Roosevelt appealed to the steel
men TO set aside any individualistlc
interest" and said ne was confident
they would work with labor to meet
this test
Says Labor Will Cooperate.
Il am equally as positive that labor
will work with the executives, for
that purpose is mutual-the protec-
ton of the lives and homes of the
American people and of every free
home on earth the message con-
tinued
In an obvious reference 10 the
possible c. I. o. strike at the indus
try's captive coal mines, E. G. Grace,
president of the Bethlehem Steel
Corp, said that any labor troubles
anywhere along the line will be re-
flected in our production"
But. Mr.. Grace added, labor trou-
bles are by no means our only
problem. There is the lack OF raw
materials and of supporting ma
terials"
Mr.. Grace. pledging full co-opera-
ton of his industry in the defense
program, said:
Our customers are the Navy.
Army, Maritime Commission and
the lease-lend organization"
Mr.. Grace pointed out this coun-
try was producing 100000 tons of

our allies" he added, the Axis pow
ers face a production of 10000 600
tons year against their own ability
to turn out not more than 100000
tons.
Says Steel Will Win.
IF steel will win this fight" Mr..
Grace said, we ought to be able
to win it. We are making in this
country alone between 100000 and
100000 tons a month. All We ask
the Government is: What do you
need and where do you need it?'
Sidney Hillman. associate director
general of the Office of Production
Management, declared:
I'VE can't lick Hitler with strikes
as usual or with business as usual"
Mr.. Hillman pledged himself, as
o. P. M. director in charge of sup

that The defense program was car
ried on without interruption.
I'VE have the resources" Mr.. Hill
man pointed out, we certainly have

is to organize every element to safe

Mr.. Hillman said the only way to
carry the defense program to swift
consummation would be the greatest

was IL because Eugene told him
that Paul had come?
Eugene said Bill had been sur

crawled down her spine. Surprise

Do You Like
Spring Colors?

Before YOU decide that springs

tsrd yellow. creamy beige. fresh
green and sapphire hlue-srs not
becoming n you. experiment with
shades Of makeup Experts agree
that any woman can wear prac-
ucally any color. If her makeup Is
right.
There are rosy powders to give
brightness to skin which looks
sallow in beige or green. There
are shades of rouge which makes
cheeks bloom IN spite Of lavender
shadows from an ultra violet
dress There's the right makeup
to wear with black. with royal
blue, in fact every color under
the sun.
It's important to remember,
however, that makeup is an in
dividusl problem. You can't just
dash out and buy makeup for
black" without giving any con-
sideration at all to your own skin
tones. Trial-and-error is the only
intelligent method Of choosing the
cosmetics that are right for you.
If possible, buy or borrow a
good size piece Of material in
the spring shade you hope to he
able to wear. Wrap it around
throat and shoulders and then try
on cosmetics until you find shades
which give your skin fresh,
blooming look IN spite Of the re-
Elections from the swatch of fab
nc.
Black presents fewer makeup
problems than any other color. 1t
drains the face of natural color,
but it does not throw odd shad-
ows across the skin. Green is
difficult, of course. It throws
yellowish glow over the average
complexion. Mustard yellow and
ultra violet can be trying, too.
But, let me repeat, not single
one of these shades presents an
unsolvable problem. It's ques-
ton of taking time to find the
right makeup.
