Concerned over the sudden rise

I'VE will fight and continue TO
fight this type OF Hitlerism At homo

Mrs. Roosevelt 10 Use
Information Center
To Find Right People
Believes New Agency
Can Be Of Help in
Getting Things Done

Mrs. Roosevelt is going to use
Lowell Mellett's Information Service
to find the proper people" to do the
Job she is interested in.
She admitted at her press confer
ence today that her problem wasn't
in getting jobs done, but in knowing
where to 60 to find the proper peo-
pie to do them.
'If job is DONE" she said, 'I
spoke to the proper people. If it
doesn't get done, then I didn't speak
to the right people"
Mrs. Roosevelt's difficulties were
revealed when she said she hoped
she had spoken to the proper people
about using space in or near Union
Station so that transient soldiers
would have a few hours sleep and
a place to clean up between trains,
instead of resting on station benches.
Opposed N. Y. A. Slashes.
When a reporter asked her if "she
hoped" could be quoted, Mrs Roose-
welt explained that she didn't always
know who the right people were.
Disagreement with the President
on several points came to light at
today's conference. Discussing the
cuts recommended by the President
in the National Youth AdminiStra-
ton budget, MRS. Roosevelt said she
would regret the elimination of col
lege and graduate school aid be
cause it seems to me the approach
to a real future acknowledgment of
the fact that young people go to COL
lege and graduate schools is because
of their ability, through Government
aid, and not because they were able
to pay for it or not"
Mrs. Roosevelt also viewed with
apparent reluctance the decision
announced by the President last
week not to have a voluntary regis
tration of women at this time.
II still feel" she said, that
great many people would get sense
of satisfaction in knowing that their
country knows them and could call
on them, and that if they kept on
doing their regular job, that is
what the Government wanted them
to do"
She said she had been informed
that registrants could be classified
in three weeks and if that was the
case, it might be well to wait until
certain needs were actually felt.
But she said she had conceived of
the registration as having nothing
to do with drafting, but only
means to classify skills.
Women's Army Corps Bill.
On the score of flag-waving and
demonstrations advocated in some
quarters for soldiers leaving home,
Mrs. Roosevelt said she didn't think
bands would make much difference
in the grim determination of those
who we're going, nor to their families.
She also predicted that the wom-
ems army corps bill now moving
slowly on Capitol Hill will go
through in time, but anything new
takes time"
Discussing the work of the United

States Committee for the Care of
European Children. Mrs. Roosevelt
said a group of so children were
scheduled to come to the United
States from the concentration camps
of France, as soon as passage can be
found for them. But she disclosed
that transportation difficulties are
such that the committee is studying
ways of helping children somewhere
in Europe, particularly in Switzer-
land.
Another group of $50 children,
she said she had heard yesterday,
may be released from the camps.
Usually those who are released are
either orphans or the children of
parents in concentration camps
who are not expected to live.
Discussing what the children had
gone through she said one boy saw
his father shot before his eyes,
while another 9-year-old was
thought mentally deficient at Ellis
Island until it was learned that he
had been in so many countries that
he had never stayed long enough to
learn any language
