Did Someone Beat
Hens to Job?

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 -
(UP-President Roosevelt. who
sometimes describes himself as
farmer, explained today that
his lack of news was due to the
fact that he had a number of
hens setting but they had not
laid any eggs yet.
A newspaperman with some
knowledge of poultry immed-
lately inquired. "Mr. President,
does a settins hen lay eggs?"
Farmer Roosevelt shook his
head ruefullv at what was left
0f his mixed metaphor.
The conference broke into
grOans and laughter when May
Craig. correspondent for sew
eraI Maine papers, punned to
the President:
Gould il be, Mr.. President,
that the Hatch Act is stopping

Mas, who spent four months on
active duty as a Marine colonel in
the Southwest Pacific, charged last
night that the government is mis-
leading the people about fighting in
the Pacific. He said the United
States has suffered repeated dis
aSters there, and that I'VE are still
losing the war" with Japan. He
called for unity of command in
Washington and in the field.
Martin said he believed response
bility of meeting the situation out
lined by Mas lies directly with
Congress.
Congress, he said. should create
promptly a special joint committee
on prosecution of the war so that
it will be mechanically equipped
to handle this grave responsibility
NAVY GAG ATTEMPT?
Meantime, Mas talked with re-
pOrters about charges that the Navy
Department had attempted to gag
him or drastically modify his
charges that it was bungling the
war against Japan and concealing
the truth from the American peo-
pie.
He said representatives of the
Navy Department had called him
on the telephone after they saw
copy cf his speech and questioned
the accuracy of his references to
communiqIes issued in Washington
while he was in the Solomon is
lands.
"At my request" he said, they
sent several representatives to my
office to go over the statements
they questioned and I made several
changes in the text of purely mi
nor nature.
SNUB FROM F.D.R.
The changes were wholly ad-
dressed to my references to Navy
communicates and were SO technical
as to have no actual effect on the
meaning of the speech"
President Roosevelt, asked about
Mas charges, said he did not even
know the Minnesota Republican had
made speech.
Mas said that "if Japan wins
this war--and she has wen it un-
less we can carry the war to her
and drive the Japs. back to their
original islands and deprive them
of their fantastic new empire-the
end of western civilization is here

Sympathies came as the Axis posi-

from Tunisia.
Darlan, with the approval of the
United States Expeditionary Force,
assn umed full respol -bility for
French interests in North Africa and
guaranteed the defense of the
French North African empire. He
previously had asked-not ordered
the French fleet to join the allies.
Darlan made his announcement
with the cry: Long live the mar
shal! Long live Francel"
His statement carried the strong
implication that his new regime had
the sympathy of Marshal Henri
Philippe Petain, sympathy which
presumably could not be expressed
due to the Nazi occupation OF Vichy
France.
The announcement was made over
the Algiers radio.

AS Previously Announced

LOS ANGELES, Apr. 2-Evac-

will NOT be paid more than

Previously announced plans to pay
the evacuees $50 to $94 monthly, ac-
cording to their skills, were super
seded yesterday by announcement
that the aliens and Nisei will receive
a top monthly net cash payment of
$21.
The War Relocation authority and
the Wartime Civilian Control Ad-
ministration issued the following
joint statement:
Putting first things first, the
most important task after evacuees
have been removed from military
areas is to make it possible for them
to perform work that contributes
the maximum to the war production
effort
''The people being evacuated pos
sess a wide range of useful skills
and abilities that should not be al
lowed to go to waste at time when
the work Of every person counts for
so much.
ITO put evacuees at really useful
work as soon as possible requires a
great deal of careful policy making
ing and planning in which wage
considerations play an important
part.
1--WE wish to emphasize that no
wage rates for evacuees have as yet
been determined.
Further, the policies or rates OF
pay established may have to change,
as the character of the program
changes, and as varying types of
useful public and private work are
undertaken.
However, this much is determin-
ed: Under present conditions the
minimum net cash wage of the
American soldier, $21 a month, will
be the maximum net cash wage of
evacuated persons working on pub
lie projects for whom subsistence
and housing are provided"
