Mrs. Roosevelt Says
WAAFS Are Mistaken
In Ignoring B|ackout
Comedies Roid Tests
May Seem 'FootIess' to
Veterans Of Bombinqs

Mrs. Roosevelt, at her press con-
ference today. said she does not an
prove of the British WAAFS who
refused to obey regulations during
the Metropolitan Area S test last
Monday night. but she added that
she can understand how such drills
might seem foolish" to persons
who have been through the real
thing
Il think it was mistake on their
part not to comply" Mrs. Roosevelt
said, but I can see why people
who have been through real bomb
ings think air raid drills are
footlesS.
Turning to discussion of women s
problems, Mrs Roosevelt urged
again that civilian defense organiza-
tons investigate the possibility of
community laundering, cooking and
shopping services. She said that the
refusal of the House Appropriations
Committee to consider a $500 900
fund for care of children of working
mothers made the organization of
such services even more practical.
She also went on record in favor
of the Womens land army, advocat-
ing that it could be controlled by the
Agriculture Department jointly with
the Labor Department.
Mrs. Roosevelt expects to see Nine.
Chang Kai-shek once more before
her return to China. The general
issimos wife found the richness"
and different atmosphere" of this
country encouraging after WEAKNESS
and oppression she sometimes feels
in her own China, Mrs. Roosevelt
quoted Nine. Chang Kai-shek as
saying.
Agreeing with the National Busi-
ness Professional Womens Club that
an age limit for working women of
so is too low, Mrs. Roosevelt said ::
Il myself am So. I know many
women who think they can do a
muc,s better job at so than they ever
did before"

were things she could do 10 years
