| Washington, d. c., February 3d.
Mayor F. H. LaGuardia resigned as
Director of the Office of Civilian De-
tense and James NJ Lands, former
Dean of Harvard Law School, was
to take his place. Evidently someone
in New York City read the constitu-
ton of the State and was able to
impress the Mayor with the fact that
he has no right to be top man of O.

1t is no news to repeat the story
of how Congress gave Mrs. Roose-
welt spanking when 1t refused to
vote funds to Civil Defense for the
payment of big salaries to some of
her friends" whom she had INSTALL
ed in her organization. This was a
proper matter for Congress to pass
upon.
But the criticism of Mrs. Roose-
welt is generally understood to be
that she talks too much, writes a
dull Column" for the papers, and
has sponsored radical youth organi-
cations, and specialized on the rae
ial-difference between whites and
blacks in a way that has produced
more harm than good for both
whites and negroes.
| Mrs. Roosevelt has all the charm
and background to fill the position
of First Lady of the Land and Mis-
tress of the White House. Her
friends, and critics, in Washington
would like to see her take up the
responsibilities of the position which
belongs to her as wife of the Presi-
dent. But that seems to be a very
idle hope.

the rich as well as the poor, and the
result is the nutritional biochemist's
effort to forge new weapons in the
attack on hidden hunger.
Lack of important diet essentials
is reflected in Eat for Victory

bines in tablet form all the vita
minis human beings need, namely A.
B1, BIZ, c, D, and PIP, plus iron, cal
cium and phosphorus. It's designed
to build up resistance against sick
enss and cut down on the losses in
man hours, in farm, Office and fac
tory, resulting from improper diet.

Committee was "watered down" q

It's pretty hard to look across the
Senate and House Chambers and
pick out members whose politics are
important enough to justify their
