GERMANY TRYING
 TO SLIP II OVER
 ON UNITED STATES
Suggests Exchange of Arm istiCe Commission for
 Americans in Viehy

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA. - The State Department discloses tn a t Germany is trying to obtain the release of it's North African Armis- tice Commission, captured by Am erican troops last November, by making an exchange of American diplomats held in France, contin- gent upon release of the German officials. The American diplomats were held when the Vichy Govern ment broke relations with the United States in November.
 The State Departments an- nouncement explained that the United States promptly proposed through the Swiss Government an exchange of American diplomats in France for former French officials held here
 The blunt German answer, as reported by the Swiss Govenm mt, was that no consideration will be given for the departure o1 Amerl- can officials in France until inior- nation is furnished about the Ger man Armistice Commission in North Africa. The answer said the German consul in Algiers desired the information being obtained by the State Department with view of it's transmission to his govern ment.
 The State Department, as is customary, however, does not con- slider this information about the captured Germans any relation to the question of exchange of the French and American personnel.

WASHINGTON. = AS he ap- preached the end of his tenth year in office, President Roosevelt was in amazingly good health. Despite the press of work placed on every President, plus the additional strain of the war, Roosevelt seems almost in better health than ever.
 Looking back on the first year of the war, Admiral Ross T. Me- Intire, personal physician to the President, says:
 This has been one ot the Presi- dents best years. He hasn't been sick day since Pearl Harbor. In fact, he hasn't been sick for 1S months. His last illness was in May, 194l, when he had that in- testinal upset for ten or twelve days.
 'He started a cold the other day but we hopped on it right away and knocked it out. In case like that, we cut down on his food, ano shift to fluids. and the President alkalizes himself
 That was on a Tuesday, and al first I thought we might have tc cancel the Presidents Tuesday af- ternoon press conference. But he snapped out of it so well that let him go ahead with the coll ference.
 Its not hard to put the Presi- dent on a light diet at such z time, because he actually likes milk toast and boiled rice, and that'' what he gets when he has a cold
