Roosevelt and Churchill
9Th Cousinship Traced
By the Associated Press


NEW YORK, June 24.-President
Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill of Great Britain are
eighth cousins once removed, but
you have to go back to the May
flower to prove it.
Announcement of the discovery
of blood relationship between two
of the worlds leaders was made
yesterday at the office of the New
York Genealogical and Biographical
Society by Conklyn Mann, editor
of the bible" of genealogy, the New
York Genealogical and Biological
Record.
The relationship comes through
the line of Mr.. Churchills mother,
Lady Randolph Churchill, who was
Jennie Jerome of Brooklyn, Mr..
Mann said. Actually, however, you
have to go back to 1920 when a
1O-year- old boy, John Cooke, came
to Plymouth on the Mayflower.
Mr.. Roosevelt is descended from
two of the daughters of John Cooke
and Sarah Warren. One was
Esther Cook, who married Thomas
Taber; the other was Sarah Cooke,
who married Arthur Hathaway.
Mr.. Churchill is descended from q
third daughter, Elizabeth Cooke,
who married Daniel Wilcox of
Portsmouth, r. l., and Dartmouth,
Mass, then in Plymouth Colony

SUN VALLEY, Idaho. June "a
Attorney General Bert H. Miller OF
Idaho Is ready to offer the full as
sistance of his Office to any Idaho
merchant who will contest the
legality of OPA-fixed price ceilings.
Addressing Idaho retail food
dealers in convention. Mr.. Miller
criticized existing OPA regulations
The OPA program will not sue

hoped for" he declared, because
the Federal regulations are un-
wieldy and difficult to enforce"
Case Between individuals.
In pledging aid to merchants in
stituting test he said:
Il don't believe it would be proper
for my office to take action directly,
because it would be purely civil
case between individuals
Mr.. Miller told the group he
would not consider that OPA rules
supercede the Idaho unfair sales
act until Idaho has been put under
martial law, so to speak"
OPA, Mr. Miller said, was the re-
verse of the State unfair sales act
inasmuch as it prevents prices
above a certain level and the State
act is intended to prevent prices
from dropping below certain
mark-up.
Sales Act Provisions.
The State unfair sales act for
BIDS sale of certain merchandise
without a specified mark-up of the
retail price over the wholesale price
Many merchants have complained
that this mark-up would put the
price above the ceilings imposed by
the Federal regulations. leaving
them in the position of being law
violators, regardless of which law
they obeyed.
Declaring he was very appre-
hensive if this thing continues as it
has started the attorney general
said OPA objectives were praise
worthy but that they should have
been accomplished long time ago.

on the program but did not take
issue with the attorney general in
