HENDERSON IS
 UNDER CHARGES
tcontinued from Page D

NNOllbhAhCN AAVAAA NtSS At dent. charged that "there are at least 50 other employees in MT, fIenderson's agency who have rec-- ords of utilization with Communist front organizations" and that he would name them provided those he named in today's letter were re- moved.
 "The record is perfectly clear with respect to MT. Henderson's own connections with these Communists enterprises" Dies wrote.
 Dies Fall to Name Them
 Dies did not name the organi- sations to which he referred.
 Henderson said Dies recently had promised to make public four such groups "of which have been 6 member"
 "Ho has not done SO yet. and I challenge him again to do so."
 Following is a summary Of Dies charges and Henderson's replies:
 Henderson--Dies said Henderson "has in the recent past been con- nected with several of the front Organizations of transmission belts of the Communist party" ,w.s
 "fFe was, in fact, the President of the Washington branch of one of ths largest of the Communist party's auxiliaries, the Spanish refuge re- lief campaign"
 Dies said Henderson once aSsault- cd q Washington newspaper photo grapher "who sought to take pic- lures at a reception which the Price administrator was giving for q nationally prominent Communist who was associated with him in the work of the Spanish relief or ganziation.
 Henderson said he was chairman of the Washington friends of Span- ish Democracy, because 1t was in- tensely interested in the Spanish fight for Democracy, but that or- ganization was not Communistic, ' he Identified the "nationally-prom- inent Communist" mentioned by Die as Dorothy Parker, the writer.)
 Brady, Former Prof.
 Brady described by Dies as head consultAnt of Opacs at a $7500 a year salary; former University of California professor and. according to Henderson, former member of the National Resources Planning Board and the MIRA.
 Dies said that In 1887 Brady wrote book, 'The Spirit and Structure of German Fascism" which Is from beginning to end an exposition of and an attack upon. NazisIn from the standpoint of the Communist party 'line'--as that line was laid down in Moscow in the year 1887. .
 Dies said the following quotation was from Brady's book:
 ''The American MIRA program was in short, 8 Fascist program in idea in principle. and--in main--in struc- Cure. ss."
 Henderson said the designation ':head consultant" applied to Brady by Dies was one assigned by the Civil Service Commission and "does not indicate any relationship be. tween myself and MT. Brady" He 2 said he had no direct contact with Brady or other employees cited by pieg.)
 Dies drew upon writings, endorse ments and other exhibits to support his charges that he and others were Communists.

MRS. ROOSEVELT INFLUENCED SON
tcontinued from Page D

(Continued from Page D Roosevelt'S decision was when he was about to complete his work ct Harvard. Tn 1903, when the presl- dent was 2i, he asked his shy fifth cousin, Eleanor Roosevelt, then an orphan of 20, to marry him. She agreed after consultations with her relatives.
 But Mrs. Roosevelt thought they were too young to marry and took her son out of Harvard to tour the West Indies with his roommate, Lathrop Brown. But when he Ee. turned he still was In love with Fl. eanor and after graduating from Harvard in i004, set the date for the wedding on March i7, 1905.
 The next decision on which the mothers wishes were overruied came in l922 when MT. Roosevelt was recuperating from infantile paralysis. The mother wanted him to retire to her Hyde Park estate. She felt that any participation in public life, even consultations with former associates, would endanger his life.
 Believed In Him
 But Louis McHenry Howe, the presidents late secretary, and other political friends believed he had & political future. His doctors told his wife, Eleanor, that his recovery would be helped rather than hins dexed by continuing his work. El- eanor supported his friends and again Sara Delano Roosevelt failed to determine her sons future.
 She then watched Franklin bee come governor of New Yorw State and thrice elected President of the United States. Shortly after the second inauguration, Mrs. Roosevelt, in an interview with the United Press in Paris, said she thought son would not run for c third term. She emphasized that she was giving only her personal opinion, but several months later said she would like to have him at home. She added that she would not oppose a third term If he could do good by being president again."
 It was obvious that she wanted her famous son Co come back to the Hudson Valley estate, which he loved so much, during her last years.
 But when that hope vanished last January she smiled as any mother would have done who was watching an unprecendented honor bestowed upon her son-the first president to take the presidential oath a third tina.

 Russians Resisting
 On the southern front the Rug- siang were said to be persisting in attempts to hurl back shock troops across the lower Dneiper in order to create new bridgeheads on ttso west. ern bank.
 It was admitted that at one or two points the Russians succeeded in landing troops but 1t was claimed that these bridgeheads later were wiped out.
 A propaganda company dispatch, reporting on the siege of Odessa, said that obstinate resistance ccn- tinues, aided by the natural de- lenses of the city which Is protected by arms of the sea.
 Coastal batteries, the dispatch noted, protect the city from attack by seq and, during past months, ad- ditional batteries have been in- stalled along the western defenses, tank ditches have been dug, barbed wire entanglements erected and mine fields laid.
 The dispatch said that there was hand.to-hand fighting for every yard of ground around Odessa.

 Strictly Enforced

Powerful motorboats on Lake Cuassapaug In Middlebury and Ban- tam Lake in Morris may Do banned next summer if town officials and property owners at the respective summer resorts go through with contemplated action at present.
 First selectman Howard Bronson of Middlebury claims Quassapaug is technically ruled at present by a town ordinance calling for l5 miles na hour limit on speedboats and a curfew on their use from 9 p. m. to 6a. m.

 Quassapaug landowners have re- putedly signed petition asking lO-mile-an hour speed limit, a limit of IS feet on the size of power boats and provision limiting motors to five horsepower. This petition may prob- ably be presented to the selectman for adoption at their next town par ley.

Manners
of the
MOmen

When daughter starts borrowing
clothes from mother the trouble be-
gins. Mother might just as we'll give
up going to parties altogether.
It's one of those things that grows
on a family. First daughter asks
sweetly II she may borrow mothers
pearl necklace for the big Christ
mas party she is going to. And
mother says. If reluctantly, "yes."
After that the necklace goes with
daughter to every party, without
even a May II"
Then daughter starts on mothers
evening wrap. Then on her evening
slippers. And finally on her evening
dresses themselves.
When this stage is reached mother
never knows whether she has any
thing to wear to a party until she
actually gets 1t we'll fastened to her
own back
Well, someone must learn to be
unSelfsh. And I hate to think Of
mother staying home through the
entire holiday season. She likes a
party, too, you know, sister.

ing. Her best bet is to make her
husband realize, every day in every
way, the depth of her devotion. 1t
makes an appeal to his chivalry and
his vanity that he cannot resist.
Millions of men stick to wives
whom they have outgrown and of
whom they have tired Just because
they are not brutes enough to break
the hearts that love them and tear
away the arms that cling about
their necks. Nor does anything
blind man to a wife's faults as
much as does the knowledge Of her
love for him. Other people may
think her dull and stupid, but he is
bound to respect her taste and judg-
ment as long as she let's him see
that she considers him the most
wonderful man in the world
Other people may find her con-
versation platitudinous, but it never
bores him so long as her tongue
continues to sing his praises. Her
eyes may lose their luster, but he
never knows it as long as they are
mirrors in which he sees himself
reflected glorified. That is why the
cold wife. whatever her charms and
virtues, often loses out. while hus-
bands continue to cherish little
morons of wives who have only in
telligence enough to be incense
burners
Before marriage men fall for the
clinging vine act. They like helpless
little creatures who have to be lifted
over a banana peel on the streets
and who roll their eyes at them and
ask fool questions and make them
feel that they are big he-men and
oracles. But after marriage they
want a wife who Is smart enough
to run her own affairs without both
ering them and who Is husky
enough to pull her own weight in
the boat.
Before marriage men like to do the
kissing, but after marriage they
want their wives to do 1t. They may
take their wives for granted. but the
wife who is on to her job never takes
her husband for granted. She tells
him every day how much she loves
him and that she thinks she drew
the matrimonial prize
In word, while being difficult
may pioue a mans interest before
marriage. it is being easy to live
with that keeps him after you have
got him.
