Mrs. Roosevelt Saws. J
Believes Stories Were
Circulated as Port
Of Campaign II

Mrs, Roosevelt declared at he,
press conference today that she hsc
heard a current runor that she had
appeared at leading hotels here with
colored persons as her guests. anc
nranded the story as "of value te
the NaAs' and might have been in.
spired by them.
L cannot remember ever havi,o
gone to a hotel here with guests ;
Mrs. Roosevelt said.
she commented that the story
generally described her as calling
up the Mayfiower, Willard, Hav-
Adams, Carlton Hotels or the
woodward a. Lothrop tearoom tc
make, reservations for guests for
lunch. The story continues, She
said, that it was a complete sup
prise to the management when the
Presidents wife appeared with COL
ored guests.
Weakness Of Story.
: Mrs. Roosevelt explained that the
weakness of this story is that she
has never telephoned any hotel here
Tor luncheon reservations. 'I never
go, she said, except as a guest at
public function. She added that
she never went for lunch anywhere
outside the White House except in
suburban tearooms, never tele-
phoned first and has discontinued
even this 'sinee we haven't any
gas" IN,
Mrs., Roosevelt said she could not
say that this rumor was definitely
started by the Nazis, but believes IL
is part of their general campaign OF
controversial rumors.
They must be inspired" she said
because they spring up in similar
vein all over the country at the
same time" She explained she had
heard the same rumor about her
self in Nashville, Tenn.
Club Rumors Recalled.
Mrs. Roosevelt added this rumor
IS probably" tied up with the
Eleanor Club" story of her alleged
attempts to organize colored do
mestic workers for shorter hours
and higher wages.
These rumors naturally would be
of value to the Nazis," Mrs. Roose-
velt said. She was certain of the
inaccuracy of the hotel story, she
seid. Il hesitate to be so definite. ,
she continued. because you car
never remember everything you have
ever done. But certainly have not

Mrs. Roosevelt commented at thu

ent predicament," Mr.. Scott said
He emphasized that Mr.. Neukom
had made no commitments and that
length of the overlap period still
was under study" by the OPA.
He said that OPA is opposed to
his plan to wipe out completely the
lines between heating periods and
permit ration coupon holders to

fuel oil when they please The
agency fears this might cause early
fuel oil purchases TO exhaust the
supply and make it temporarily i'm

oil to which they are entitled, he
explained.
Admits Hazard.
Mr.. Scott admitted there is "some
IlC HOW -
ever, that he believed fewer people
would be hurt" in the complete
elimination of heating periods than
under the present system.
Mr.. Scott was to confer this
morning with an official of the
Off1ce of Defense Transportation
over difficulties in the transportation
of oil from the primary suppliers'
terminals on the Anacostia River to
the dealers, storage plants.
In many cases, dealers must send
trucks long distances across town to
haul oil from the Anacostia ter
minals. The oil dealers are trying
to get authorization for a shuttle
system, whereby the oil would be
hauled to their bulk plants.
Mr.. Scott has proposed that some
of the transport trucks now being
used to bring oil and gasoline from
Baltimore be diverted to the haul
ing of fuel oil between the primary
terminals and the dealers plants.
He pointed out that this would re-
lease dealers trucks for delivery OF
OIL TO consumers.
Will Follow Suggestions.
Mr.. Neukom, the OPA division
chief, said that the OPA investi-
gator who will visit fuel oil dealers
to learn their problems would study
specific situations to be suggested
by Mr.. Scott.
He pointed out that investigation.
by OPA field men are a regular
practice. The check with local fue
oil dealers is being made, he said
because phases of the Oil rationine
program need. study"
He said the OPA has mo imme.
diate plans" for changes In fuel oi
rationing regulations, but that if tn,
study of the situation now under

they will probably be made withir
the next few days.

Meanwhile, Whitney Leary, Dis.
trict OPA director. again asked fue
oil and kerosene consumers to fill il
properly the serial numbers ane
letters which must be written OF
the face of each rationing coupon
used. Oil deliveries are not per.

Mr.. Leary emphasized that al

Thereafter, payments will con-
tinue to be made shortly after the
first of each month for sums accrued
up to the end of the previous month

The 10000 checks payable tomor-
row represent allowances accumu-
lated for three months since June l.
It was estimated that for each

probably be half a million allow
ance applications, with an average
of two relatives or dependents per
application-an overall average of
one dependent per soldier.
