Mrs. Roosevelt Sees
Boys Returning With
New Sense Of Values

"The boys you sent out are not
the boys who will come back" Mrs.
Roosevelt, recounting her expieri-
ences in the Southwest Pacific, last
night warned the Government girls
and WAVES at Barton Hall in West
Potomac Park.
The boys who have been wounded
will not look for pity when they
come back, she said. They must
be understood and stimulated with
confidence.
Others, she added, who have done
jobs they never thought Of doing
before will return with q complete
change of values and I'VE must
learn to understand.
Eager to Finish Job.
Too, she pointed out, the home
and Job they left have become
idealized and they all believe that
the country they left is going to
give them everything they're fight
ing for.
They want peace" she con-
tinued. They don't want their
kids to have to 60 through what
they have been through. But they
have wonderful sense of comrade-
ship and a determination to finish
the job"
Mrs. Roosevelt declared that one
of the most useful parts of the
trip was learning just why the
Red Cross asks for certain things. :"
For example, she said, a Red Cross
unit on one Of the islands asked
for heavy fishing tackle, because
the only sport there for the boys
was fishing and, too, it came in
handy in supplying fresh food when
the food ships were late.
Soldiers Have Gardens.
On one island, she explained, an
island which coldn't be named be-
cause it had never been bombed
although it was near the combat
zone, every Army unit has garden
and the Red Cross is asked for
fertilizer. On this island are located
two Of the largest hospitals and
fresh vegetables are vital for the
convalescents, she added.
Describing her two days in the
Guadalcanal area as. the toughest
part of the trip" Mrs. Roosevelt
said she was tremendously i'm.
pressed with the care taken in the
cemetery there and the little chapel
built by the natives. 1T shows"
she said, "the boys have respect
for men who know how to die"
Concerning her trip to Australia,
Mrs. Roosevelt declared that the
transportation in this country is
heaven compared to that in Aus
tralia." She said that the women
Of Australia have taken the burden
Of the home front very capably and
that in the new factories a higher
percentage OF women are employed
than men.
Planned by Book Club.
The program at Barton Hall was
planned by the members of the
Barton Book Club. a discussion
group Of the resident girls. Mrs.
Roosevelt was introduced by Miss
Catherine Eastep, co-chairman of
the club. Music was supplied by
Charles Mayer and his All Girl Or
chestra and the Potomac Choral
Club under the direction of Miss
Ramona Blunt.
Earlier yesterday Mrs. Roosevelt
told her press conference that If,
through subsidies. general prices
could be held down and imitation
prevented. the cost OF the war for
future generations would be less.
She complained that most people
didn't understand about subsidies,
but added, You have subsidies for
so many things. but you never heard
so much excitement about it before.
No one worried about the tariff,
and that Is subsidy"
Mrs. Roosevelt said she was going
to spend THANKSGIVING quietly"

the company.
After the meeting, Mr.. Goodman
said he expected an agreement
would be reached before the truce
expires. Mr.. Hiner said the men
failed to show up for work early
yesterday because of the failure of
the company to abide by the con-
tractual clause which provides for
private arbitration when negotia-
tlons break down. He reiterated his
contention that the men had never
been on strike but that they had
merely held "a continuous meeting
WHICH was adjourned this morning.
The WLB telegram last night, Mr..
Hiner explained, clarified the status
of the unions relations with the
company. He said there seemed to
be some confusion in the WLB
orders and contended that the No.
vember II directive did not specify
that the union was still operating
under an extension of the old con-
tract.
Auto Traffic Snarled.

Many Virginia residents, police

Technicians
Join Facet

New York, Dec. 1S-Affiliation of
the Assn. Of Technical Employees,
the only Canadian national union
of its type, was announced this
week by the CLIO Federation of
Architects, Engineers and Tech
nicians.
Pres. Lewis Alan Berne Of
Facet said that the Association,
which has branches in Montreal,
Toronto, Hamilton, Windsor and
other areas, will be established as
an autonomous Canadian division.
In welcoming the afiiliation, Berne
said:
1.-THE affiliation of the national
union Is symptomatic of the think
ing of technical employees in our
nation as we'll. Technical employees
play a most essential part In the
war effort and Their prime con-
Germ is the proper utilization OF
their talents and skills. This Is i'm
portant in the war period and for
the postwar period. for planning
for peace Is contingent upon our
ability to plan for victory. The az
filiation of the Association rep
resents the growing understand.

nical groups, unions and societies

u. S. Civilians Give
One Ounce of Butter
A Month to Red Army

Washington. Dec. 1S-The average
civilian gives up less than one
ounce of butter a month to help
supply the Soviet armies with the
food they need to drive Hitler's
legions back to Berlin, the U. S.
Dept. OF Agriculture announced
this week.
The Department said that 1855
per cent of butter produced is used
for civilians here, 1888 per cent
goes to our troops, .S3 per cent is
used for special needs" and 3.19
per cent is shipped abroad under
Lend-Lease authority.
Civilians now get about 10
pounds of butter a year. In 1941
and 1912 the figure was 16 pounds
but the Department stressed the
fact that these figures were aver
ages, with some individuals getting
much more and some much less.
