HELLO ART1E!

| received your letter and was
tickled pink to hear from one of
my boys. Well, ! was transfered
down here week ago Saturday
and my new address for the time
being is Co. 9, lst Prov. Blu, Po-
kuham> Station, New Orleans,
La. The work and drilling here
is very easy and the only thing,
! am afraid of. is, that | might
get lazy. Art, | want you to tell
Freddie to take my place as
coach of the Cleveland East Jr.
basketball team. because | knew
that he is the best man for the
job. AS far as the swimming
members of the team are concern
ed, guess | can convince them by
mail that Freddie is the No. |
man. Although | understand that
there wont be a regular league.
still would like to hear that Cleve-
land East is knocking hell out
of the other teams in the basket
ball carnivals which are to be
held this year. Although | am
miles and miles atway from Cleve-
land still think of the Cleveland
East Juniors almost instantly. |
can't help recollecting the won
derful times we. always had to-
gether and as result don't feel
sorry for some of the work | did
for. the club. Do me favor at
the next Sr. and Jr. meetings and
express my sincerest regards and
best wishes in the future to the
officers and the members. One
never realizes how much attached
one can become to a group or
groups of people until one goes or
is sent far from home. | know
every member has had some pit
ty misunderstanding with differ
ent members at some time or an
other, but when you get away
so far from home, you realize how
silly and useless such things are
Instead it makes one clearly
understand that we ought to stick
together and help one another
more than ever during these try
ing times. | think the above few
lines will express no. tonly my
feelings of all Of our boys in all
BRANCHES Of tn eseryice. We are
at war not because we want to
be but because we were forced
into it. Now it is up not only to
the boys in the: services but their
folks and all of their friends to
cooperate in ending it as quickly
as possible. On this account we
won't have to forget our, fore
fathers and the wonderful heri-
tage that they brought with them
from Pennsylvania. We have moth
ing to hide or to be ashamed OF
on account of being Saxons. In
fact if necessary every true Sax
on ought to be willing to let
everyone know of our parental
background. Our forefathers
never did anything that our people
as whole ever had to be asham-
ed of. Rather the Saxon history
through the years can only tend
to prove that we should be ex-
tremely proud of being Saxons.
AS a result of the above we
should unite yourselves more firm
ly than ever and not be afraid of
letting the whole world know
about it. If you wish you can
show this to Mr.. George Schnei-

100 GirIsin War Work
Meet Mrs. Roosevelt
Al Democratic Tea
Wife Of President Advises
Listeners to Make Effort
To Become Acquainted

About 100 young women doing war
work here had the biggest thrill Of
their careers when they met Mrs.
Roosevelt at tea given yesterday
by the Democratic Women's Ma
tional Council.
After shaking all Of their hands
at least once (several went through
the line twice. Mrs. Roosevelt con-
fessed to the group that she knew
how 1t felt to be lonely in a crowd.
AS a young girl in Paris, she re-
called, she remembered thinking
on occasion that nothing could be
lonelier than a gay city.
Those war workers who find con-
ditions here trying have the COM
penSation, however, Of knowing they
are doing something that has to be
done to win the war, Mrs. Roosevelt
reminded her audience.
She also expressed the hope that
I'VE in Washington will be able to
make it easier for you as time goes
on"
In the meantime. she advised the
girls to make an effort TO meet one
another.
Mrs. Roosevelt attend the tea, held
at Hotel 2400, in an official car as it
was an official engagement.
Receiving with her was Mrs. Paul
D. Hammacher, council president.
The tea was the first of a series

dicate there are in the city more
than 1900 houses supplying board.
Through collection Of supplemental
information the need for a hearing
and possible price increase will be
determined. The new schedule will
be mailed to operators.
Fear Service Reduction.
The petition stated that a ceiling
on the price Of board was threaten
ing to drive the operators out Of
business at time when the city Is
badly crowded, restaurants over
flowing and boarding houses badly
needed. II the service TO incoming
war workers is further reduced, 1t
was pointed out, workers will not
remain here, others will be reluctant
to come Such a development would
impair the war effort, 1t was held
If relief is not forthcoming, the
operators said, there will be an "in-
evitable tendency on the part Of
persons engaged in the industry to
violate the rent and board control
law, or Ito revise their menus and
services furnished as to create a
condition not healthful or con-
ducive to wholesome living"
In another part Of the petition
the Rent Administration was asked
to issue a final order fixing $40 as
the recognized allowance for board
in cases where board is discontinued.
Under the present system a house
operator must file separate petit
ton for discontinuance Of board for
each person involved. 'e-a-. y

A public appeal was made yester-
day for a house that may be rented
and converted into a day nursery
for pre-school age children of moth
ers working for the Government.
The appeal was issued by Mrs.
Frank A. Linzel, chairman of the
Child Care and Protection Commit
tee of the District Defense Coun-
ellis civilian mobilization division,
Who said such q house was urgently
needed and that she had been un-
able to obtain one through private
negotiation. The much-needed prof.
ect may collapse, she said. If q suit

care center with captcity of so
children. Because Of the difficulty
in obtaining such quarters, a six
or seven room house which could be
made suitable for 80 children would
be acceptable, Mrs. Linzel said.
1t will be better If the property
has a yard in which the children
can play, but the yard Is not es-
sential If q playground is nearby,
she said.
Mrs. Linzel requests that anyone
having such q house available tele-
phone her at Executive $40, ex-
tension IS.
About 500 mothers in the District,
nearby Maryland and Virginia have
applications on file to place children
in the nursery.
The greatest demand has come
from mothers In the northeast and
southeast sections and a house in
either of those areas is preferred,
Mrs. Linzel said.
A nursery for colored children is
about to be started at Howard Uni
versity, under Mrs. Linzels direc-
ton, 1t was announced.

Hitler Strategy Reported
Criticized by Won Book
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 23.-The British
radio said today that according
to information reaching London
German Field Marshal Fedor Won
Book recently criticized Adolf Hit
ler's military strategy and said the
Fuehrer's inability to make up his
mind in crucial moments was a
more serious handicap than man
power difficulties, unresponsive
workers or deterioration of trans
port.
The B. B. c. said Marshal Won
Book insisted full German often
sive must be postponed for some
weeks at least" The field marshal
was reported as declaring that he
couldn't see how Hitler, even if he
were a military genius, could sue
ceed when coordination of so many
refractory elements was needed.
The report continued that the
German generals opposed Hitler's
plan to concentrate on the capture
of Moscow because they believed 1t
would have no decisive military
effect.

Negro Council Appeals
For Rationinq Board Posts

The National Negro Council yes
terday appealed to President Roose-
velt for action to provide representa-
ton of colored members OF the
once Of Price Administration ra-
tioning boards throughout the coun-
try.
The appeal was made by Edgar
G. Brown director of the council
and president of the United Gov
eminent Employees, who said he had
conferred with Price Administrator
Leon Henderson, but received no as
surance that colored representatives
would be appointed to the boards.
Mr.. Brown pointed out that labor,
agriculture women and different re-
ligious and political faiths have been
guaranteed membership on the
boards through recent o. P. A. dl-
receives. Only Negroes, he said, had
been left out.
In a letter to Mr.. Henderson, the
spokesman for the National Negro
Council said I'VE are compelled to
advise you that we shall appeal to
the President, the Congress, the Su-
preme Court and the American peo-
Die that Justice be done by the O.

that loyal. patriotic colored citizens

democracy and equality may not
suffer discrimination and denial OF
their constitutional rights"

not against India. not against Rus
sia, but against China. If she sue
ceeds the 400,000,0O0 population Of
China will be largely removed from
the Allied war effort.
BRITAIN. British spokesmen,
fighting a rearguard action against
public sentiment for the opening
of a western front, limit themselves
to stressing the weight of the
greater bombing attack the British
and American air forces are pre-
pairing to mount against Germany.
GERMANY'S HOME FRONT.
The dispatches of American news
paper correspondents, arriving at
Lisbon after five months of war
time internment in Germany and
Italy. unanimously paint a picture
of disillusionment, feeling of de-
feat, sacrifice heaped on sacrifice
until 1t is becoming almost unbear-
able in the Axis countries.
The favorite thesis of Hitler
however, has been that in the last
war the army was sold out" by its
leaders at home just because the
war was beginning to 60 against
Germany. He seems to think that
Germany should have made a last
ditch fight of it in 1918 instead of
seeking an armistice when her ar
mics still stood on foreign soil. He
probably contemplates such a fight
if things came to the worst. Many
of his preparations including the
attention given to the powerful and
ever-present Gestapo, suggest he
has looked even to that eventuality
and means to hold the people in
check at all costs if need be.
Nearly all the observers newly ar
rived from the Reich caution against
an over-optimistic belief that Hit
ler's home front will crumble in the
near future
Observation-Disclosures leaders
almost daily warn of their country's S
danger despite the repulse admins
tered to one invasion fleet in the
Coral Sea. The japanese have been
checked innumerable times since
they started on their career of con-
quest in 1881. So far they always
have come back with stronger
forces.
INDIA.-India is being given time
to strengthen her defenses. Some
progress is being made. How much
it is not permitted to say. But on
the surface the attitude of the peo-
pie of India toward cooperating In
their own defense is far from re-
assuring.
AFRICA.-The British are obliged

to wage a continual battle against
Axis conveys, against efforts to
knock out Malta, against patrols in
the desert. Each side is trying
to build up forces to knock the
other out. Who can say who will
win the race?
AT SEA. President Roosevelt
supplied the best comment on tie
war at sea. Asked II the ship-sink-
ing situation were not pretty Sc
rious,' he answered with an en-
phatic Affirmative.
I'VE have been. we still are, con-
fronted with a serious shortage OF
ships to carry the essentials Of wal"
the President said IN a Maritime
Day statement. He added that
submarines of the Axis aggressors
have taken q heavy toll"
Rear Admiral Emory S. Land, war
shipping administrator and Mari
time Commission chairman, said
American yards already are adding
two ships a day to the Nations
victory fleet and that by fall they
will be delivering three a day.
Our shipping must produce 2,300
merchant ships. aggregating 23.-
600, 900 deadweight tons" said Ad-
miral Land. "in the two-year period
ending with 1943: in addition-about
TOO smaller auxiliary craft We
believe this job will be done as
scheduled"
Ship Shortage to Continue.
But despite these stupendous fig
ures Admiral Howard L. Vickery of
the Maritime Commission, declared
In a Chicago address April %: Il
would be fooling you If I tried to
tell you we can build ships as fast
as we can lose ships. It can't be
done. A ship can be sunk In min
utes and ship cannot be built in
much les than 80 days"
A subsequent White House state
ment said that although "the
American people can be assured that
the shipyards will do the job as
signed to them" shortage Of ton
mage would continue until sinkings
throughout the world are brought
under better control and building
gets into full swing.
Specifically. this statement dis
closed that shipyards delivered 12o
new vessels in the first 130 days of
1912, compared with Ill merchant
ships sunk from the time Of the
Pearl Harbor attack until the state
ment was issued on May 16.

All United Nations
Austin Fuvors Peace Aim
Conference in Britoin;
MeNory Doubts Its Value
BY the Associated Press.

6y tne ASSOClkteQ PIeSS.
Proposals were advanced yester-
day to include representatives Of
all the United Nations in q pro-
jected conference OF American and
British legislators on war and peace
aims. At the same time, some op-
position developed to the general
proposition of such a meeting at
this stage of the war.
Senator Austin Of Vermont, as
sistant Republican leader, said he
wholly indorsed the idea of British
American conferences on war and
peace problems, but believed that
spokesmen for other nations ought
to be invited.
McNary Doubts Value.
But Republican Leader McNary
was not persuaded that any good
could be accomplished by such a
visit as was suggested tentatively
to congressional chieftains by an
unnamed member Of the British
parliament.
AS outlined, the plan was to have
a bipartisan group OF 10 Senator'S
and Representatives visit London
to discuss with Parliament leaders
the problems of the war and the
subsequent peace.
Il fear that the accomplishments
would not be commensurate with
the cost Of such project" Senator
McNary told reporters. IF jour-
ney of this character is in the in
terests of internal unity and sue
cess of the war effort, it should
be undertaken by those technicians
schooled in the arts of war on land,
air and sea-
Chairman George OF the Senate
Finance Committee said he thought
it was a little too early to talk
about peace aims, sentiment that
was echoed by Senator Tunnel,
Democrat, of Delaware.
War "Not Yet Won"
eve haven't won the war yet and
we must come near the end of the
conflict before we can 1nUelIlgently
discuss any peace plans" Senator
George said.
He added that he thought that If
only American and British leaders
met, representatives of other Of the
Allied nations might feel that they
were being excluded from peace
plans. He said Russia, Canada,
Australia and all of the other coun-
tries must be drawn into any con-
versations of this character.
Expressing approval Of the confer
ence idea, Senator Hill of Alabama,
the Democratic whip, commented
that the inclusion Of other nations
in the talks would 60 long way
toward establishing closer contacts
among the Allies.

vidual petitions. the largest increase
not exceeding 81 a month, Mr.. Cogs-
we'll said.
Accompanying the petition were
affidavits from boarding house op-
orators showing the increased cost
to them of foodstuf1s in the last
year. 1t was stated that meats,
vegetables and other staple prices
have increased an average of IS per
cent since January 1, 1941. Coffee
has increased % per cent. milk 10
per cent, potatoes II per cent, tuna
fish ITO per cent and canned to-
matoes so per cent.
The average rise in cost of all
essential servicing items, such as
mattresses, pillows, linens, paints,
etc., was placed at 43 per cent. The
cost of labor is up at least 20 per
cent, the petition stated.
Mr.. Cogswell said action on the
request for public hearing is under
consideration. He added general

NEW YORK. May 23.-President
Roosevelt showed John Wartime
Public back down into the sea Of
cold realities this week just to make
sure he doesn't overglow with opti-
miSm.
1t is better that way. A man who
feels his head just above water has
no room for complacency.
There is no doubt that Jimmy
Doolittle's bombing Of Toxic, the
Allied (mostly American navies,
smashing of the Japanese in the
Coral Sea, the Russians beating the
Germans to that spring offensive
and the fact that American factories
are turning out an ever-increaSing
flow Of arms in the battle of produc-
ton all contributed to the buoyancy
of the United States public.
The average man is not permitted
to read all the confidential reports
from American generals and Off
cial observers on all the battle
fronts that give the President an
overall picture of the global sit
uation.
But he can take an armchair
tour of the world battle fronts, and
If he does he can see what the Presi-
dent was talking about when he said
Friday that the war is likely to be
long one and that the time is
not yet to be optimistic. Secretary
of State Hull reiterated the Presi-
dents viewpoint today.
The armchair tour can start with
Russia. The United Nations are
depending on Russia to keep Ger
many pinned down this year so she
will be unable to turn destructive
drives in other directions.
1t is a good sign that the Rus
slams were ready to start major
spring drive before the Germans.
But the Kharkov offensive has been
on for IL days now and the Rus
slams have not yet taken that great
city 1t Is too early to say it sue
ceeded There is no room for COM
placency there.
China Depends on Air.
Now China. The situation is crit
ical for China. The Japanese have
taken all of Burma but a tiny
mountainous bit in the north and
two narrow slices on the west and
east. For the first time China is
cut off even from the trickle of
supplies that came over the Burma
Road, and she is dependent on the
few supplies that can be carried
in by air, over the winding paths
and bullock trails to Assam and
the over-burdened Russian rail-
ways.
In the face Of this desperate sup
ply situation there are many signs
that Japan is beginning her real
