 "We cannot over-emphasize the importance of the Boy Scout Move ment," said pr. Rude. Even in normal times it has won it's place as an indispensable part of our American way of life Today, in the war emergency, Scouting is demon strating that the years of organ ization and training of millions of youth to Be Prepared have not been spent in vain"
 Each year since it's inception in 1910. the Boy Scouts of America has grown in membership. Its pres ent membership exceeds 100000 and during the 32 years of it's exis- tence Scouting has trained more than 10 million boys in citizenship and character.
 A 63 per cent gain in membership has resulted in Alaska since the in auguration of the Territorial Ad- ministration of Scouting in Alaska last year. Twenty-two requests from agencies of the Federal government have been accomplished with what Time magazine recently described as astronomical statistics of sue cess"

BY the AsSoclated Press.
Informed that President Roose-
welt intends to outline general
national policies for controlling
the cost Of living in a message
to Congress and a subsequent
radio talk Monday night, the
Senate, today postponed until
April % consideration of reStric-
tive labor legislation.
Senator Connally, Democrat. of
Texas obtained unanimous consent
for the delay after telling his COL
leagues that President Roosevelt
personally had requested him not
to press a motion to take up a
bill authorizing the Government to
take over strikebound war plants.
The President has authorized me
to say that he made this request
and that he expects TO send mes
sage to the Congress relating to
the establishment of a general ma
tional policy regarding the cost of
living and all factors relating there
to. including labor" Senator Con-
nally said.
Message Will Generalize.
The Presidents message is ex-
pected to deal in general terms with
methods of controlling the rising
cost of living. Some Congress men,
bers said they doubted that specific
legislative proposals would be ad-
vanced at this time, however.
Under the agreement reached by
the Senate, Senator Connally would
be privileged to call up on April %
a motion to take up his BILL TO
which advocates of restrictive legis-
lation have said they intended to
offer amendments suspending the
40-hour week, freezing open and
closed shops and limiting union
initiation fees.
Before the agreement was reached
Senator Austin, Republican, of Ver-
mont asked Senator Connally if he
had considered the possible effect on
the conduct of the war, declaring
that Congress is entitled to know
why, after weeks of delay which
seemed to some of us to be un-
necessary, We are now asked to slow
down in this important effort
Senator Connally replied that he
had not changed his attitude toward
the need for legislation, but that
the President felt he might make a
contribution to the war effort rather
than delay it by giving report on
the whole subject before Congress
acted.
Connally Cites Veto Possibility.
If Congress were to rush a meas
ure through despite the Presidents
request, Senator Connally said, it
might be vetoed.
