A REPUBLICAN REPORTS.
~ HARRIS ELLSWORTH.

Rtpublcan, orskon,
Publisher of the Roseburs tOresD News
Review.
Since the President sent out the
invitations to the new members of
Congress to visit with him at the
White House there has been con-
siderable speculation in the cloak
rooms as to what sort Of a party it
would be. Conjecture ran all the
way from the idea that political
heat would be turned on to the be-
lief that it would be a brief word
with the President in a reception
line-that the tired executive would
then retire and the members would
talk among themselves over punch
and cookies until signalled to leave.
The only single clue that appeared
was what one member was told.
in response to letter accepting the
invitation, that the occasion would
be social.
That was correct. All other guess
es were entirely wrong.
Conversation Friendly.
We gathered in the great East
Room at the White House. Speaker
Sam Rayburn acted as M. c. lin this
instance the letters meaning mas
ter of ceremonies In single file
we were ushered through hall to
the state dining room. The Presi-
dent greeted each of us with
friendly comment or question.
Shortly a small group gathered
around the President. Seated up
close, the conversation was free and
frlendly-lt was an intimate and
social affair. Every one had
chance to get in at close range, ask
questions and generally engage in
the conversation. Some Congress
man was always ready with light
for the Presidents cigarette. 1t
was that sort of an informal party.
Presidents Health Impressive.
I think the one thing that i'm
pressed everyone-the one thing
mentioned most in the crowd as we
filed out--was the relaxed good
good humor-of the
President. Take my word for 1t he
is anything but tired old man
No recent photograph Of him tells
the truth as I saw 1t. President
Roosevelt does not appear tired. HIS
coloring is good and he appears 10
be in excellent health. He oo-
yiouslv enjoyed the gathering. He
talked freely and seemed willing to
talk on any subject and to welcome
any sort of question. We don't.
am told, ever directly quote the
President but I may say that he
talked with us. not only about the
var-on all fronts-but about build
ing a system of highways after the
war-and a score Of other things.

ROCHESTER. N. Y. March Ii
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt vester-

who fail to realize war is on their
doorstep will find themselves spirit

men and the world.

the draft deferment request made
by Kay KySeT, orchestra leader. Mrs.
Roosevelt said she believed draft
deielment for entertainers on NOR
aIe-bullding grounds should be
handled as individual cases and
said She thought Kyser could be
drafted and then assigned to duties
similar to his civilian activities
Such a move would accomplish
the same morale building results"
she added
Speaking informally to the Uni
Versity women, the Presidents wife
said she did not necessarily refer
to shot and shell" but to The loss

and restrictions and added duties
for all individuals.
We must have courage" she
added, and We must think along the
lines Of our community, our country
and even the world, rather than
along the lines of Just ourselves.
Our chief concern about ourselves
must be to develop the physical
strength and energy which will be
needed for the hard times ahead"

lckes Refuses 10 Join
In Controversies on
Driving, Fourth Term
Secretary Says Winning
War Is More important
Than Arguing

Interior Secretary Tckes. who has
jousted verbally with some of the
best people in and out of the Gov
eminent, today refused to partici-
pate in controversies over pleasure
driving and the fourth-term issue
on the ground that winning the war
was more important than arguing.
Although Mr.. Ickes expressed
himself as heartily in favor of the
ban on non essential driving when
1t was ordered, would not comment
at his press conference on the recent
order Of Price Administrator Prem
tlss M. Brown abandoning police in
forcement of the ban. He pointed
out that his lob is to ration" OPA
on the amount of oil for distribu-
ton and said that Mr.. Brown can
dispose Of the allotment in any way
ne sees fit.
He dismissed fourth term ques-
tons with the comment that he did
not think we ought to indulge in
political speculation a year and a
half before the election.
The Secretary expressed dis
satisfaction with the considerable
number of people who are trying
70 win the war the easy way. He
cited figures presented in recent
poll indicating that a minority of
fuel Oil consumers in the District
and the rationed States had paid
any attention to the OPA'S recon-
mendation to keep inside tempera-
lures down to IS degrees.
Mr.. IckeS advocated construction
OF an elevated railroad from the
West Coast to Alaska. built tempo
rarlly on wooden piles to be replaced
later by steel. Such a system. he
said, would make it possible to get
over difficult terrain and ice and
snow, and would be preferable to a
second highway.

Democrat. of Arkansas, Former President
of the University Of Arkansas.
So long as human relations are
the essence of government,
Franklin D. Roosevelt will do
all right.
At his informal reception to
the new Congressman it was diff
ficult for the most prejudiced to
resist the influence Of his en-
thusiasm, his confidence and his
essential humanity.
To those who were already IA
vorably disposed he was quite up to
the highest expectations.
1t is always impressive to enter the
White House from the east wing
down the interminable corridors
Arriving a little late as chance
would have it, I accompanied the
exotic Mrs. Luce down the receiving
line. She is quite human at an in
formal party.
In the magnificent state dining
room the President conversed with
all the new Congress members In a
thoroughly informal and intimate
manner. He discussed freely his trip
to Africa, the strategy in the Pa
cific and the progress of the war
in general.
His evident optimism, without
making any predictions, was heart
ening to every one He was in a
rare good humor, which in itself
was encouraging to perceive. O.
F. Speaker Sam Rayburn directed the
proceedings tactfulIy and easily pre-
senting the Representatives to the
President. Vice President Wallace
and John w. Mccormack (the
ma jority leader of the House added
much to the easy flow of converse
ton. .r -.
Feeling Of Unity.
Throughout the evening I could
not help but think that here we have
the true symbol of our democracy.
The Chief Executive Of the most
powerful nation in the world joking
and talking to the newest Repre-
sentatives OF the people, many Of
whom. only six months ago, were
on farms, in law Offices, or small
business throughout this land
In spite of all the differences of
opinion one may hear any day on
Capitol Hill, one came away from
this gathering with feeling that
there is fundamental unity in this
great democracy; that in the crisis
now facing the world free men will
prevail over the slaves of Hitler,

Coast Guard Officials
See Test Of New
Metal Life Raft
Vice Admiral Woesche
Sees Several Advantages;
Exposure Suit Shown

High Coast Guard officials had
before them the results of the first
official tests of a metal life raft and
a lightweight exposure suit for mer-
chant marine seamen.
Vice Admiral r. r, Waesche. COM
mandant, who witnessed the tests
yesterday in the Washington Chan
mel, said he was very much i'm
pressed" with the raft. which is made
of steel and can be dropped so feet
or more into the water. He pointed
out that the old time wooden RATS
frequently dried out and split apart
when thrown into the sea.
Admiral Waesche said he thought
the raft had these four advantages:
Cd The safety OF getting it over
board. ~ its greater capacity as
compared with older RATS, ~ the
protection it's offers from the wealth
er and "a its capacity for carrying
water.
Provided With Awning
The raft, which was described as
more of boat than a raft, is Is
feet long, feet wide and feet deep.
1t has a folding mast sails rudder,
centerboard and an awning covering
the occupants completely 1t could
be used, officers pointed out. regard
less of which side it landed on.
An official of the company which
made the raft said it had been
dropped so feet three times. He said
that it was n-inhammable, which
would be of particular advantage for
tankers where there is danger Of
burning oil on the water 1t took
more than a year to develop, he
added
Capt. H. c. Shepherd, head of the
merchant marine inspection division,
who was credited with Admiral
Waesche as being largely responsible
for initiating work on the raft, said
he had been told by physicians that
20 men could live in the raft for 81
days without having their health i'm
paired He added, however. that
under favorable conditions and with
the use of fishing equipment and in
verting the awning to catch rain
water, it would be possible to live
for much longer time.
Exposure Suit Lighter.
Coast Guard officials expressed the
hope that the exposure suit tried
out yesterday, which is Is pounds
lighter than the one now in use,
would prove feasible for men to wear
while working on deck. Pointing out
that seamen are reluctant to wear
heavy e-saving suit while working,
they said a number of men were
thrown into the water before being
able to don suit.
Admiral Waesche said he felt the
suit was big improvement but
that he wanted tolearn some further
details.
1t was said that four of the RATS
could be used On merchant vessels in
addition to life boats. The RATS,
they said, had one advantage over
life boats in that they were self
bailing
The raft was towed into the center
Of the channel, where a daytime
orange-colored flare was released.
The fare, which will burn for min
utes. is visible to a plane for 10
miles at height Of 5000 feet. 1t
was developed, officers said, as
result of the wa rand is already in
use SO
High ranking officers watching the
tests included Rear Admirals Lloyd
T. Chalker. assistant commandment,
and Harvey F. Johnson, engineer in
