Mrs. Roosevelt Sees no
Need For Lower Standard

Washington, Jan. 81 Eleanor
Roosevelt, assistant director of
the Once OF Civilian Defense, dis
agrees with DR.. William Haber,
University Of Michigan economist,
who says the United States will
pay for the war with a drastically
reduced standard of living in 1912.
The war will not cut living stand
ards if local defense councils are on
the job, said the First Lady at a
press conference.
DR.. Haber. last week told the De-
troit Council Of Social agencies
that the $4,000, 100000 war pro-
gram will force Americans to give
up half their incomes. Except for
the men in uniform, no group has
made great sacrifice as yet, he
said. warning everyone TO steel
himself for the shock that will come
when it is fully realized how high
the price will be.
Mrs. Roosevelt is more optimis-
tic. She admits that everyone must
make certain sacrifices since the
country is at war, but that does
not necessarily mean the sacrifice
OF our present standard OF living.
She sees no danger OF a low liv-
ing standard il defense leaders stu
dy the needs of the community and
work to meet these needs.

Palmetto May Take Place
of Cork Cut Off by War

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.-UP -
With foreign imports of cork cut off
by the war, a substitute made of
the pulp of the palmetto is being
developed in Florida and is expected
to take the place of cork in many
important war needs.
Called "Palmetex," the synthetic
cork is said to have most OF the
qualities of corkboard. l. is suitable,
say its creators, for low tempera-
ture insulation, life preservers,
floats, RATS. buoys, acoustical and
air-conditioning materials, gaskets,
pipe insulation, building and roof
insulating board, bottle cap Innings
and various types Of containers. Its
cost is said to be much less than
cork.
Pametex was developed jointly by
B. r. Moses. Mississippi attorney.
and Charles Schulz, Brooklyn-born
