SEATTLE, Wash. - Mrs. An
ma Roosevelt Boettiger, associ-
ate editor of the Post = Intelli-
gencer, has been fretting about
her mother. For Eleanor Roose-
Welt is in England and has been
in several danger zones.
Then Mrs. Boettiger received
letter from mother, she re-
ported in her weekly women's
page. Mrs. Roosevelt said she
had enjoyed visiting with her
son, Elliott, But / can't help

shifting into line with more and
more of the recommendations
which Baruch had made
throughout the 1930s when the
various Army M-day, mobiliza-
ton plans were being drafted.
Baruch Strengthened out rub
Der, Baruch's ideas on price con-
troll finally came to be adopted,
Baruch's ideas are reflected in
WPB's new Controlled Materials
Plan.
If Baruch's ideas on manpow-
er could be put over, some of the
present confusion on that SUBJ
ject might be eliminated.
Wars hardest hit spot under
the u. S. flag is Puerto Rico.
Tipoff on that is the tremendous
increase in WPA rolls on this
island territory, now running at
$4,000. Only two u. S. states
have larger WPA rolls today,
New York and Pennsylvania.
illinois has only $4,000.
In fact, the WPA situation in
Puerto Rico is just exactly op-
posite to the situation on the
mainland. While the war has
steadily dropped WPA rolls in
the states, they have been stead
lily increased on the island. Lack
of shipping to haul Puerto Ric-
an exports-principally sugar
and rum-to the mainland and
haul machinery and other sup
plies to the island has been the
cause of its economic near-col-
lapse.
FROGS FROM HEAVEN
British Information Service in
Washington was faced with a
pretty problem recently when d
woman from Arkansas wrote in
for proof that it sometimes rain
ed frogs 10 heavy Thunderstorm
ers.
1t seems that this woman had
adopted two British children for
the duration. Riding home in
the family car one evening, they
ran into an unusually heavy
rainstorm, with clouds blacker
than they had ever seen and
water coming down in buckets.
Then few little white objects
began to pelt the car. They
thought they must be hailstones,
but when they looked closer, 1T
developed there were frogs
pouring out of the sky. It was
wonderful, and America sure
was a great country.
Next day in school the Brit
ish children, all excited, told
about this truly great experience
they had been through. But in
stead of being heroes, the poor
British youngsters got nothing
but the razzberry. Teachers and
their schoolmates all pooh-pooh-
ed such nonsense.
The British children came
home to their adopted mother in
tears. That's what started the
Arkansas woman to writing let
tiers to Washington to see if
something couldn't be done 20
restore her charges spirits.
B. I. S. called up some scien-
fists in Washington and sure
enough, they did find scientific
proof that sometimes when the
sun was sucking up water real
hard, it did suck some shallow
ponds dry, frogs and all. And
they could prove, they said, that
sometimes these frogs came
down in transforms.
That's what they wrote the
Arkansas woman, anyway, and
they hope it will keep the Unit
ed Nations united.

raids we're made on the Andaman

The raids Tuesday and Thurs

cunning of Port Blair, principal
town of the islands, which lie $50
miles southwest of Rangoon be-
tween lower Burma and the tip of
India.
The intensified threat to a key
section of the empires lifeline and
one of the back door routes for

Hend erson Says War Is
Lowering Level Of

NEW YORK, Feb. 27--Price Adj
Leon Henderson in a
radio speech last night said that
tho level of living" in the United
States will soon fall below the low
est point that was reached in the
great depression, because the ma
tons productive capacity is de-
voted to war
He said war production will cost
the nation more than SO billion
dollars this year and at least rs
billion next year. I'm other words. +"
said Henderson, lin 1912. as our
contribution in the way of mer-
chandise of death, we are prepared
to deliver a greater quantity of
goods than this entire nation had
to keep alive in 1882. 1t means
that we stand today, staring at the
grim prospect of initiation.
1T means that the level of living
within few short months will be
not much above the 1882 average,
and that in 1913, we surely will fall
below that of 1882"
