Roosevelt Conferrinq
With Lytte|ton on Next
Years War Output
No Decisions Reached
On Food Cor and
Monpower Mobilization

President Roosevelt disclosed
today that he is in the midst of
conferences with Sir Oliver Lyt-
telton, British Minister of Pro-
duction, to work out preliminary
estimates of the United Nations
war production program for
1943.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he expected
the conferences to continue for two
or three weeks, by which time he
would have pretty good picture OF
the needs for all kinds of munitions
and war supplies during the next
year, but emphasized that produc-
ton plans will be subject TO con-
slant revision in the light of expert
ence as the war goes on.
Meanwhile, he said he had not yet
reached any decisions on pending
proposals for more efficient mobili-
Zation of the Nations food produc-
ton and rationing problems.
The President declined any de-
tailed comment on the manpower
problem, but it was understood
authoritatively that he feels it is not
an emergency matter for the time
being, though 1t would become so
next year If something is not done
about it.
Mr.. Roosevelt told his press con-
ference he had many recommends
tionS concerning the food prohlem
but had not yet determined his
course of action. He added that in
any event he expected the country
to have enough food to keep every
one from starving, although lots of

Mr.. Friedlander also told the court

The stockings did not carry a

They were marked 30 denier.

stockings were.
Judge Newman asked that these

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. Give

rier Yorktown sank during the Bat
tie of Midway, Pvt. Peter Schultz,
%, of the marines, had a decision to
make-lose s50O,00O or save the lives
of five sailors.
He saved the lives of the sailors.
Pvt. Schultz told of the exploit
during Navy radio program, which
originated at the site of Tun Tavern,
birthplace of the marines.
Pvt. Schultz, native of Short
Hills, N. j., told this story:
Five minutes after orders to
abandon ship I was given a mail
sack containing a reputed $500,O00
to salvage. But at almost the same
time I saw four sailors trapped in
the boats wreckage.
II didn't have time to think or
feel. I dropped the sack overheard
and went after the sailors. When
they we're safe, I went back to the

The most thorough examination

Attitude Same

Roosevelt Says
Assumes Members
Favor Winning
War, He Asserts

President Roosevelt assumes
that Congress is in favor of win
ming the war, Just as the Presi-
dent is, he told press confer
ence today when asked if the
Democratic setback in Tuesdays
election would make any differ
ence in his attitude toward Con-
gress.
He asked why the outcome Of the
election should make any difference
in his attitude.
Asked specifically If the gain in
Republican strength would cause
him to include COP congressional
leaders in his periodic policy con-
ferences with the Democratic lead
ership Mr.. Roosevelt said he had
been doing this all along.
His first comment concerning the
election was that he had very
pleasant surprise when he went to
vote at Hyde Park, and found the
polling place was open.
Leaves Explanation to Press.
This was in sarcastic reference to
predictions made sometime ago by
newspapers opposed to the admin
istration that the 1912 elections
might be called off, but Mr.. Roose-
welt said he would leave the expla-
nation of his remark to the press.
He said he had made no prelim-
mary forecast of the results of this
election, as he had done In pre-
vious years, and that he did not
know whether the result might have
been different If he had taken part
personally in the campaign.
Meanwhile, a movebent had de-
veloped on Capitol Hill for Repub-
lican-Democratic victory coalition"
to proclaim holiday on politics and
drive toward the one common aim Of
winning the war.
The alliance would throw the
power of both parties behind the
President for the most effective
prosecution of war. but the Repub-
licans coupled their pledge Of sup
port with. demands for an end to
New Deal politics and expert
ments."
I'VE are willing to forget the elec-
ton if the administration will re-
member the implications it con-
tanned" said Minority Leader
McNary.
Another leading Republican, Sem
ator Vandenberg of Michigan, pro-
posed the coalition, saying Congress
should create unified committee
