Mr.. RoOSevelt'S letter in full said
The dominant note of our COM
mon war effort is unity. unity OF
our people and unity of the United
Nations. That is the hard fact
which is the spearhead of victory
am happy in the knowledge that
IL exists with us. Upon the battle
heldS OF the seas and the continents
across them, our crews and troops
are operating with the efficiency of
wel-trained and disciplined teams
Coral Sea, Midway, the Solomons
New Guinea and North Africa are
shining instances of their power
Also, thanks to the patriotism of our
people, our land has become the
arsenal of democracy from which
to quote Millions pregnant lines, the
world hears:
"Sonorous metal blowing martial
sounds,
At which the universal host I'D sent
A shout that tore hell's concave. and
beyond
Frightened the reign of chaos and
old night
Praises Deeds of Fighting Men.
i take pride in the grim determi-
nation of our people to preserve our
democvratic heritage, whatever the
sacrifices required of them: in the
deeds of our fighting personnel,
which are adding unfading glory to
our traditions: in the magnificent
resistance and resurgence of Britain,
Russia and China. and in the uncon-
querable spirit flaming in the coun-
tries desecrated by the Franken-
stems created by blood -foulcd
criminals.
Il take pride, too. in our unity in
deliberatlon, in decision, in action.
Our initial acceptance of the de-
fensive, our assumption of the ini-
tiative when the opportunity struck,
were no hit-and-miss calculations.
They were the outcome of thought
full estimate made not by night
marish amateurs, but by military
men whose lives have been conse-
Grated to the study of war. An out
standing example of their labors is
the brilliant campaign under way in
North America.
THE truth about the war effort
of the United Nations will make our
people appreciate how great has
been, and promises to be, our prog
ress toward victory and freedom

RETAIL TRADE IN
 NO WAY AFFECTED
Price Ceilings Have Failed to Stop Trading Around
 New England

Boston, May 21-(UP)-rnaugu. ration of retail price ceilings had little effect on retail trade in tho New England area during the past week, Dun & Bradstreet, Inc, re. ported today.
 Retail dollar volume, the agency said, held about the same as in the corresponding period a year ago refiecting "the rationing programs in effect for certain goods and the severe decline in advance buying" {"
 "In industry the trend in war production becomes more pro- nounced each week." Dun 6 Brad. street added. Massachusetts fac. tories report 35 to 40 per cent of all employees working on war con- tracts.
 "In many large cities 75 to 1OO per cnet of all plants are producers of war material. As well as the in- dustrialized states of Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island where payrolls are 30 to 40 per cent larger than last year, southern Maine and factory and shop towns in Vermont and New Hampshire are also benefitting from war work, often through spread of subcon- tracting."

LEADING TOWNS
 WILL BE TONED
Public Transportation Fac- iIities for Defense Work
 CTS to Be Assured

Hartford, Conn, May 2l-(UP)- The state public utilities commits sion today prepared to zone all the states leading industrial cities to assure public transportation facili- ties for war workers.
 Plans were underway, it was an- nounced, to allocate these facilities at Hartford, Bridgeport, Waterbury, New Haven, New Britain, Bristol and New London.
 The commission in recent weeks has described the Connecticut transportation situation as "acute" and has just about forbidden any transportation improvements and extensions unless they were for war purposes.
 The new zoning plan apparently would have as its chief feature a staggering of hours of employment for thousands of non-war workers and school children, to permit war workers to get chance to ride on the trclleys and busses.
 Various firms, under the zoning plan, would arrange their opening and closing hours to avoid trafic congestion.
 Public Utilities Commissioner Jo- seph P. O'Connell said 1t was likely that facilities may be shifted from one city to another where the needs are more critical.

chine performs will be identical,- insuring that every part fits exact- ly.
 Offlcials said machines of this kind were a great saving, and that the cost of the $200,00 milling machine would be written off at only $20 a plane, if 10000 planes were built.
 Ford has put 40,000,0 900 into ma chinery like this, an indication that he intends to make thousands of heavy bomberS.
 The factory, of 37 acres, adjoins a mile-square airport. The whole area was a soy bean field 13 months ago. The whole factory is valued at $60 1000, 900 and its capacity is so great that 1t will ship sub-assen- hl:es to mid-western plants as well t; make parts for planes finished at Willow Run.
 Ground for the plant was broken on April IS, 1941, and Ford got his final contract last August. In Feb- ruary, he sent 250 engineers to Cali fornia to study methods of design.
 ."The bomber program in this country today is equivalent to the entire automobile business in peace time," c. E. Sorensen, vice presi- dent of the Ford Motor Company, said.
 "It took up 35 years to get where we are. If there are a few holes as we go along in the airplane busi- ness, it doesn't mean that anything is seriously wrong. There is no serious shortage of material for bombers."
 Only One Phase
 The giant Willow Run plant is only one phase of the Ford war program. The company now em- ployes more men than it did in peace time, and Sorensen estimated that 90 per cent were directly en- gagged in war work. The others make spare parts, most of which go for war purposes.
 Sorensen said that 75 per cent of the 5000 firms which supplied Ford materials and parts in peace time was getting 8 share of the colll- pany's war contracts.
 Other Ford war products include tanks, the first of which soon will come of the assembly line, fire con. trol instruments, combat vehicles, gun mounts. hundreds of jeeps a day, tank engines and new, giant, Pratt and Whitney airplane motors. of which the 2,O00th was completed recently.
 When Ford's war program is in full swing, 1t will be twice as big as his 5000, 900, 900 year autono- bile business.

 a disagreeable, cold, hard fact. This is, the economic measures necessary to win total war are just plain Fas- ctSt economies. It was from the war organization developed by all na- tions, including the democracies, dur ing the first total war that the eco- homie department of Fascism was born.
 "But there are two vast differ ei1ces in the application of this sort of economic system at the hands of democracies or by dictators. First in democracies we strive to keen free speech, free press, free worship trial by jury and the other personal liberties alive. And second, we want to so design our actions that these Fascist econocis measures are not frozen into American life, but sh1il thaw out after the war"
 MT. Hoover recommended three point program for winning both the war and peace. He proposed:
 l. Establishment of 8 national war council, embracing civilian heads of war agencies, to "sit di- rectly with the president as many times week as is necessary"
 2. Preparedness, by organized aobjective research and public de- bate," for postwar reconstruction.
 3. Preparedness for the peace making"
 Rabid Intolerance
 Decrying "rabid intolerance" the former president attacked those who believe that outside the obvious alien enemy agents and crackpots, who are in care of the. attorney general, there is 8 great group of Americans somewhere in some dark corner who want defeat.
 ''The high priests of this cult have concluded that all those who were opposed to war before Pearl Harbor cannot possibly be patriotic Amer jeans ever. Or at least they are un- der suspicion as being appeasers, compromisers, various obnoxious bipeds, reptiles, and cliveden sets, NaN sympathizers and sixth colum- nists.
 "Yet 75 per cent of the American people were opposed to war before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Never thelesS this 75 per cent who are now in outer darkness are willingly sacrificing their sons, their broth- CTS, their husbands, and they are working and paying without nur- mur."

The department declined com ment, officials recalling only that Hull has said that shipping was among the issues still being discuss ed at Martinique.
 The discussions, by which the United States hopes to reach a peaceful arrangement which will re- move all danger of having French possessions in this hemisphere used as Axis bases, began at Martinique on May 9.
 On May 13 Hull announced that the French warships there were be- ing demobilized. Other points, in- cluding matters pertaining to the 124,000 or 10000 tons of merchant shipping in French West Indies har- bors, were still beirg discussed.
 What Hull Revealed
 Hull revealed at his press con- ference yesterday that the first ac- tion toward demobilizing the war ships was the removal of their fuel oil. He said only enough oil was left to supply their needs for elec- tricity and maintenance while at anchor. The discussions on other phases are being continued on a daily basis, he said.
 It has been reported that the United States desires more than mere inmobilization of the mer- chant shipping. The ships include Q number of tankers and one sug- gestion has been that they be leased to Latin American republics for use in the inter-Amer!can trade.
 The Pierre Laval Vichy govern. ment contends that turning the ships over to the United States would violate the French armistice agreement of June, 194O. However some leasing arrangement to a third nation might be possible.
 The number of commercial ships Is not known. Some reports have said that there are at least six tankers at Fort-De- France. The fighting ships at Martinique and Guadeloupe are the aircraft carrier Bearn, the cruiser Emile Bertin, the auxiliary cruiser Barheur, and the training ship Jeanne D'Arc.

 cials of ths F.B.I. continued their silence on the subject today. "All can tell you is that the report will be in Hartford as soon as possi- ble," an agent said this morning.
 Daniel Campion, a mamber of Board 16-B, who attended yesters days meeting declined to discuss the matter or the letter referred to by MT. Schiavone and Attorney Guastaferri. T haven't anything for you," he told a reporter.
 Other members of board 16-B are Arthur E. Blewitt, William Hickey and Philip Brodeur. Yesterdays ses- sion of the board was very brief.
 MT. Schiavone declined to com- ment yesterday on Attorney Guas- taferri's statement that the latter was advised by him that he was within his rights in collecting fees for advice to registrants.
 It was understood that the letter of manifestation fo. collection of fees was to have been made public following yesterdays meeting but apparently no action was taken to release the letter.

(Continued from Page D that for the sake of its own in- tegr1ty the senate should examine into the motives behind this filthy conspiracy to smear a member of this body"
 Clark demanded that the senate summon "the old hussy who runs the New York Post" Walter Win chell, who he said "disgraces the uniform of the navy" by appearing in 1t to "try to smear members of congress" and "the great reform CT Morris Ernst, who afterward brought these charges to Washing ton, as I understand, in an effort to smear the senator from MasSa- chusetts."
 Clark also demanded that the judge who presided at the trial of Gustave Beekman in a New York state court, asserting that from the judges statement quoted in the Post he must have been 8 party" to subornation of perjury.
 What Caused Smear
 Beekman was convicted in Brook lyn of running what was described as a "house of degradation" fre- quented by Nazis pies. It was or the basis of statements he made that the Post first printed a story asserting that United States senator had frequented the place, and later identified Walsh as the senator.
 If there is conspiracy or an or ganized effort, as has appeared from time to time, to smear members oi the senate and the house who dc not happen to agree with certain newspapers on public questions, the people should know it," Clark said

 Barkley said the justice depart. ment had shown him pictures of ( man who actually had visited Beck. mans house at about the time! Beekman's statement alleged tha Walsh had been there.

find:
 Factories that used to be manned by men arc operated by women.
 Private cars almost nave ceased to exist.
 Women and men alike care less about how they look. In the fash- ionable west end of London, wom- en shop in slacks.
 You seldom see 8 well pressed suit or freshly blocked hat, and few people dress for the theater.
 Men in uniform drift in and out of the taprooms, whereas before the war 1t "just wasn't done."
 Everyone is acutely conscious oi waste. When eating out, they usual ly clean their plates. When they don't they carry the leavings home in containers.
 An increase in politeness is mo- ticeable; the people are more friend. ly.
 Those are just some of the changes bombs have wrought. There are many others, non-physica changes which have made the av- ergae man revise his ideas on pol itics and economics.
 British history exemplifies ar ingrained respect for position. But today the line of distncton has been pushed back until the words of the Archbishop of Canterbury that service comes first and oppor' tunity to make profits comes after wards" can be taken as indicative of how England is thinking. The average Britisher has taker "glad to be alive attitude" anc that alone, perhaps, can be cred. tied with giving him a new sense of values-a will to give up what he's had in order to repay Hitler with total defeat and thus attair what he wants in the future.
 Reconstruction Plans Reconstruction is uppermost ii his mind, second only to winning the war-reconstruction not only O. devastated homes and buildings but a revision of economies, per haps even of governmental struc' ture. The Britons seem to accep the premise that in days to comt wealth must not flow into the hand of a few, and that workers mus have a greater share.
 However, it is felt that for som' time after the war ends the people will be anxious to relax and enjo. life, after this terrific tempo G war. This undoubtedly would teni to check any violent swing to tn left"
 But whatever happens after tn war, the fact remains that toda. millions are seeing how the "othe half" lives. Many more thousand than ever before are working witt their own hands in the factories That means greatly increased nun bers of citizens whose wages are be ing taxed-citizens who will want t know what their government doe with their taxes. Hence, the peopl are becoming more and more con cerned over their local and nationa governments, with an eye towart protecting their own welfare.
