Marks Lunch.
Breakfast
Congressional! Club
Has Mrs. Roosevelt
As Ranking Guest

Wartime simplicity and informal
1ty marked the breakfast luncheon
Which the Congressional Club had
today with Mrs Roosevelt as the
ranking member present. Wives of
Presidents and Vice Presidents are
honorary members of this group of
official hostesses and today the Presi-
dents wife lunched-or breakfasted
with them preparatory to the in
auguration of an extensive program
of war work which the club has
planned for its membership
Other years the club has given an
elaborate luncheon honoring the
Presidents wife, usually at the close
of the social season. when the menu
was for six or seven course meal
with leading stars of the theater
music or motion pictures adding
interest to a diversified program of
entertainment. These parties have
been given at leading hotels and at
least one year 1t was set at the PAN
American Union. Times are differ
ent now and the breakfast lunch
was limited to members of the club
The lunch was served from a buffet
table with small tables about the
ballroom. The officers sat at
larger table with Mrs Roosevelt and
three former presidents of the
organization. Mrs Edward r. Burke,
Mrs. Daniel A. Reed and Mrs. Porter
H. Dale.
The officers of the club, elected last
month. are Mrs. Thomas F. Ford of
California, president; Mrs. Alexan-
der Wiley of Wisconsin, Mrs. William
M. Wilmington of Mississippi, Mrs.
James M. Fitzpatrick of New York,
Mrs. Richard M. Simpson of Penn
svlvania, and Mrs. Joe L. Smith of
West Virginia, vice presidents: Mrs.
Clifford Davis of Tennessee, record
ing secretary: Mrs. Fred Bradley of
Michigan, corresponding secretary,
and Mrs. Karl M. LIE Compte of
Iowa, treasurer.
In keeping with the simplified
form of today's festivity the menu
boasted only two courses, baked
grapefruit and small sausages with
scrambled eggs, mullins and coffee.
1t has been the custom in other
years to present corsage bouquet to
the guests of honor, but Mrs. Roose-
welt requested that this additional
frill be omitted. After the luncheon
Mrs. Roosevelt gave a talk on the
volunteer War Work of the Eng
lish Women" which she has seen at
first hand.
These annual midday parties for
the Presidents wife were inaugu-
rated by the club some years ago
when, during the Wilson administra-
ton, the organization gave a Dolly
Madison breakfast at Rauschers'
then at Connecticut avenue and L
street. This was an elaborate fete
with an amusing program presented
by members of the club and souve-
Mrs were silver snuff boxes, repro
ductions OF the Madison snuff box.
In addition to this party the club
had as annual events evening re-
ceptions to the President and his
wife and to the Vice President and
his wife. During the present ad-
ministration Mrs. Roosevelt has been
entertained at large afternoon
reception each year until Pearl Har-
Dor and through this season the club
has turned its attention to practical
war work in place of its customary
luncheons, teas and dances.

ISSUES ANTICIPATED
INVENTORIES ORDER

In order to assure a fair distribu-
ton of the limited quantities of con-
sumers goods available under a war
economy the war production board
has acted to limit the size of mercan-
tile inventories of consumers goods
in the hands of large retailers, whole
salers and stock-carrying branches of
manufacturers.
A new order (L-219) will have the
effect of holding consumers goods
inventories of the larger concerns at
about the same level, in relation to
their sales, as they maintained before
Pearl Harbor, Leslie A. Miller, region
al WPB director, explained. Thus
smaller concerns will be assured larg-
er quantities of available goods. Mer-
chants who have excessive inventories
when the order becomes effective will
be brought into conformity with the
program through restriction of their
purchases.
The order will apply to every mer-
chant who on or after November 80,
1912, had or has a total mercantile
inventory with a cost value of $4,000
or more at the end of any quarter
of his federal income tax year, Mr..
Miller said.

$4,50000. 1t was rejected. Another

in my memory Through company
in which | was a large stockholder)
milled four million tons of lead, zinc,
copper, silver ores. High grade lead
was apparent in the ground at the
surface, not far ahead of the face of
the tunnel which l and another were
driving.
The preliminary examinations on
one of these cost the owners above
$4,000, and on the other above 800.
These are small matters.
If you will carefully study the fol-
lowing departmental regulation, you
will see that REC. loans for small
mining developments are the only
feasible plan of opening such deposits
because of another government reg
ulation. A tunnel being driven on the
lead-zinc vein above described was be-
ing driven by myself and another and
seemed close to ore; but last March
| was notified by the revenue depart
ment that l could not deduct the
wages of the miners on this tunnel
from my income tax unless I actually
produced ore in commercial quanti-
ties or abandoned the property finally
and forever. Il suppose the last
meant allowing it to go for taxes.)
AS you can readily see, the wages of
men driving such tunnel in the
course of a year might easily amount
to $S,OOOOO or 100000, so that when
this departmental regulation was
brought to mind, it compelled us to
stop our work Immediately. Just why
such an Unjust and illogical regulation
of the revenue department should be

prevailed in the commercial areas. As
in the past, corn payments will be
computed for each farm in the com
mercial corn area, but the amount a
farme may earn will depend upon the
degree to which he meets his war
crop goals. 1t is expected these
changes will increase the 1913 acre
age planted to corn by 100000 acres,
bringing the total to 100,000,000 acres.
The secretary also announced that
in order to encourage barley produc-
ton, the department of agriculture
will support the price of barley from
the 1943 crop at a level equal to its
feeding value in relation to corn. AS
in the case of corn, the barley support
program will be available only to
those farmers who meet their war
crop goals.
CASH WHEAT: The higher prices
brought about larger movement of
cash wheat and arrivals at Minnea-
polls during the week amounted to
2,488 cars. About one-fourth of these
receipts represented CCC cars, some
of which were unloaded for local stor-
age and a part for rebilling eastward
for use in the feed and alcohol produc-
ton program. The increased use of
wheat for feed and alcohol manufac-
ture has placed good demand on or

Act Now To

exposing Dies. and had asked Attor-
ney General Biddle to investigate his
activities.
Finally comes the big thing: four
whole paragraphs on 'The Axis Front
Movement in the United States" 1t
seems the boys have been busy with
scissors and paste again, and have
gotten together a report" like the
one on Japanese activities. If the
house of representatives will only per-
nit Dies to continue his un-American
activities, his sowing of disunity and
distrust, his able assistance to Hit
ler's propaganda minister Goebbels-
then he'll startle the world with this
report which is unlikely to contain
anything that hasn't aleady been pub
lished six or seven different times.
Out of 10 pages, two thirds of
page are devoted to the Axis 'FRONT.'
Did anyone ever tell Dies that we are
fighting war, a life and death strug-
gle, against the axis? Somebody
should.
No wonder even Jerry Voorhis
couldn't stomach it! He attaches
three-page minority report, which says
that while he agrees with Dies in
practically everything still, the report
contains exaggerations here and
there, and the major emphasis at
this time should be on Exposing the
propaganda and activities of axis
agents"
Most people think the department
of justice is better able to cope with
axis agents than Dies and his clerks,
but presumably Voorhis wants to keep
his job, so he doesn't go all the way.
But after all the American voters don't
get jobs from the Dies committee.
They just have to work that much
harder, lose that many more lives,
endure the war that much longer, for
every dollar that Dies spends in dis
rupting the war effort, doing Hitler's
work for him here at the expense of
the American people.
There's a good possibility that Dies
can be licked. Even conservative
observers in Washington feel he's got
a tough fight on his hands.
So let's make it harder.
