tor, said Wednesday.

tioning boards. had previously been

good for three pounds and most
military leaves are only for two

Clever People,
M1rtisgL Labor,
Mrs. DR Says

NEW YORK, April 25-(P)-
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt says
that some "awfully clever peo-
pie" are spreading anti-labor
propaganda among the nation s
armed forces and she believes
that labor and the American peo-
pie should check such a move as
a menace to a united war eff
fort.
There has been a decided
propaganda drive against labor, -
she said last night at a Y. w. C.
A. round-table discussion. 1t is
not only directed at the public
mind-that would be an easy
matter-but il is also being done
III the armed forces.
For the sake of our country
all Of us should do all we car
TO beat that propaganda. 1t is
trying to create classes, into
which, Lord knows, we shouldn't
be divided. We need that feel
ing Of urgency to win this war
The sooner we get it over with
the more will came back alive.
Mrs. Roosevelt said she had
heard about service men re-
marking 1--WE didn't have such
and such thing because of a
strike in plant back home; if
we had it, some boys lives
would have been saved"
Nov that isn't true" the
First Lady said, but who start
ed that story? That's a hard
thing to find out. 1t is awtully
easy to propaganda, and there
are awfully clever people doing
it,"
Declaring that enemies of or
gained labor are spreading the
idea that it is not patriotic for
workmen to receive good wages
while men in the service are
risking their lives for less, the
Presidents wife said it is the
duty Of the American worker
to protect wage and labor stand
ards SO that the man who re-
turns to industry from armed
service after the war will find
those standards intact.
Declaring Il think labor
hasn't always bothered much
about public relations, she eau
toned, I'VE must remember that
we are all vulnerable now. We
need the consciousness that, UNI
less we are everyone of us COM
pletely in this war, ready TO
make any kind of sacrifice,
none of the things we care
about win go on"

with sand for subduing bombs
and putting out fires.
Sooner or later the city Is 90
ing to provide it but preliminary
steps must be taken, the COM
missioner explain.
IF we just dump a pile Of
sand somewhere and tell the peo-
pie to come and get it to put out
fires, you know what will hap
pen. Everybody will have =
sandpile for his kid in the back
yard or maybe someone will
drive in with a wagon and cart
the whole pile away. We've got
to find some place where the
sand can be watched and some
method whereby 1t can be re-
Questioned by the households.
Then we'll know where il b 10
ing and why"
