MINNEAPOLIS, oct. 6.-The
White House censorship on Pres
1dent Roosevelt's recent inspec-
ton tour Of industrial war plants
had one unexpected and nom
political effect, 20 far rs the
Ford Willow Run bomber plant
near Detroit, was concerned.
The Presidents visit to the
plant was 80 timed that the men
were coming OF one shift while
the men Of another shift were
going to work. The men COM
ing OF work remained at the
plant while the President was
there. They were two or three
hours late getting home.
When the married workers
reached home, they had to ex-
plain why they were so late.
There was no censorship so far
as they were concerned. They
told their wives they were late
because they had had a visit from
the President Of the United
States at the plant.
Then the fun began. The
wives looked in the newspapers
there was nothing about the
Presidents trip of inspection.
Fifty to IS of these wives called
one of the newspaper ofnces. to
find out If their husbands were
telling them the truth. The news
papers replied that there was no
information about the Presidents
movements-for they had been
efficiently muzzled.
What would have happened if
the censorship had not been fin
ally removed and the newspapers
allowed to publish the story of
his visit to the plant staggers
the imaination. Anyway, the
men would have stuck to their
story and stuck together.
No Political Significance.
If the Presidents visits to the
plants in Detroit-he also Wis
tied the Chrysler tank arsenal
there and to the Twin City Ord
nance Co. in st. Paul-had any
political meaning, it seems to
have been lost in the shuttle.
None of the politicians in these
cities seems to think there was
any political significance, or that
it was intended. When the
President visited the Chrysler
plant in Detroit, he was accom-
panied by only one political lead
er-Gov. Van Wagner of Mich
igan. And when he went to the
Ford plant, the Governor did not
go with him. Instead, Dan Ken
nedy, who happens to be the Gov
ernor's campaign manager, took
over, and rode with the Presi-
dent. It happens. however, that
Mr.. Kennedy is the State high
way commissioner and he was
there particularly to explain to
the President the system of high
ways, costing eight or nine mil
lion dollars, which have been
constructed for getting the 25,-
600 workers in and out of the
huge plant.
When the President visited the
Twin City Ordnance Co.'S plant
at IL O'Clock at night, the only
politician on the job was Gov.
Stassen Of Minnesota, a Repub-
lican, who accompanied the Chief
Executive-as did other Govern
ors of other States on these in
spection tours. The concensus
Of those who went along with the
President is that there was no
politics involved.
There is no slightest doubt,
however, the Presidents visit to
the plants was fine thing for
the workers, who were pleased
that the President should find
the time to visit the plants and
see what they were doing. AS a
morale builder for the workers
the trip was declared to be first
rate.

marshal of the national scrap drive,

Mr.. Cabot explained that he hadn't
kept up cycling all these years. In
fact, he hadn't tried it since his
boyhood. Recently he purchased a
bicycle and took up where he left off
1t was somewhat difficult at first, he
admits. Traffic. he comedies, some
times is terrifying. But he stayed
with it, and now he enjoys the trip
