from the American public beyond
reasons OF national security, Mrs,
Roosevelt replied that she did not
wish to discuss the subject for pub
llication.
The Presidents wife denied an
other rumor today-as she has had
to at nearly every press conference
In the last six monthS-about her
attitude toward the racial problem.
This story concerned a report of
her insistence that colored persons
In the balcony of a theater in which
she was speaking in q Southern city
be allowed to come down and take
seats In the orchestra.
Can't Recall Incident.
IT am not that stupid" retorted
Mrs. Roosevelt. She could not re-
call any incident, she said, that
might have formed the basis for
that report.
She disagrees, she continued, with
Vice President Wallace's suggestion
recently Of a constitutional amend
ment providing equal rights for
women.
Mrs. Roosevelt believes that many
laws diferentiating between treat
ment Of men and woman are pro-
tective to women, and would want
to handle the problem simply by
having each State abolish those
laws which discriminate against
women while. continuing to keep on
setting up standards for them. A
constitutional amendment, she be-
lieves, would be difficult to admins
ter and would abolish good laws
with bad ones.
Tomorrow the Presidents wife
will join with her husband In his
study to present to Archibald Mac
Leish, librarian Of Congress, a pho
tographtc copy given to her by the
Australian government Of the orig
inal log Of Capt. Philip Cook during
the voyage from 1853 to It'll, In
which he made his discovery Of
Australia. -
She said she had meant to make
the presentation earlier but the
President had been so interested In
the wind, waves and tides" de-
scribed in the log that he had kept
1t for a considerable period to read
1t. It will be placed on display ut
the Library Of Congress, she said.

Mrs. Roosevelt Says
She Doesn' I Know
Meaning. Of Tavern

Mrs. Roosevelt does not know
what q tavern" is, she said today
at press conference.
For that reason, and because ~
am so far removed In the White
House from any kind Of life when
that kind Of q question arises" she
was unwilling to comment on re-
ports to House District subcommit-
tee that District mothers had beer
taking infants with them into bars
and taverns.
Asked at FIRST what she thought
of mothers taking children to tav-
erns, Mrs. Roosevelt said that ir
many cases mothers had no one
with whom to leave them. Solici-
tous newspaperwomen hurriedly told
the Presidents wife that they were
quite sure she did not mean by that
reply to sanction tots in taverns.
What is a tavern?" Mrs. Roose.
velt asked.
Booth, beer and juke boxes,
flashed back q reporter.
Refuses to Comment.
"Oh," said Mrs. Roosevelt. She
made sweeping gesture then anc
said she really couldn't comment or
the situation because her present
abode had removed her from any
kind Of way Of life where the prob
lem Of taking q baby to . bar would
arise.
Capt. Rhoda Milliken Of the
Metropolitan Police Womens Bu-
reau mentioned such instances to
Chairman D'Alesandro of the Dis
|trict subcommittee investigating
juvenile delinquency.
Webster's Unabridged Diction-
ary defines tavern" as: "A
house where wine or other liquors
are sold to be drunk on the
premises; also house where
travellers or other transient
guests are accommodated with
rooms and meals; an inn or
hotel"
Mrs. Roosevelt revealed that she
has denied the request Of Henry w.
Austin, president Of the Bradbury
Heights Citizens Association, that
she revisit the area with white
guides as a sequel to her tour there

welt declared. During her tour she
had commented that certain unde-
veloped areas In Bradbury Heights
seemed to her natural and normal
places for the construction Of COL

denied request for rezoning of the
areas, has declared he believed rep

The Presidents wife is going to

The fact that the Zoning Commis-

Dewey Widens Scope
OF Albany Probe as
Three Are Indicted
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Fress.
ALBANY, N. Y, June 3.--Gov,
Thomas E. Dewey yesterday widened
the scope of an investigation of al
legged crime in Democratic Albany
County simultaneously with indict-
ment by a special grand jury Of
Mayor Frank S. Harris, rs, and two
other Albany city officials.
Harris, together with Corporation
Counsel James H. McGuiness and
Frank j. Cassidy, so, superintendent
of water rent delinquencies, pleaded
innocent to charges they ,conspired
to obstruct due administration Of
law.
Indictment grew out of Cassidy's
refusal to sign waiver of immunity
when called by the grand jury to
testify as to his duties. The State
constitution specifies that public
officials who refuse to sign such
waivers shall be removed from ONCE.
Special Prosecutor George p. Mon
aghan called upon Harris to remove
Cassidy, then city water commits
sioner. Instead, he was named to
his present job.
Gov. Dewey's new order, an
nounced late yesterday. supple
ments previous instructions and
calls for special grand jury inquiry
into any law violations in which
District Attorney John T. Delaney,
a Democrat, may have failed, neg
lected or refused to take appropriate

Joint Effort Urged
To Eradicate SIums
By Church Committee

Describing Washington slums as a
major social evil" the Committee
on Civic Affairs of the Washington
Federation of Churches today rec
commended that slum clearance and
new housing should not be confined
to either Government or private in
terests.
This position was announced by
Wilbur La Roe, jr.. committee chair
man, who emphasized, however
that the policy was that of the COM
mittee only, as it had not been pre-
sented to the federation directors.
ANY program should be made to
conform to plans of the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission" Mr.. La Roes statement
said.
The program should be conducted
and managed 80 as to make sure
that provision is made for the pres
ent occupants, even during the
period of construction"
Hopes for Minimum Subsidies.
Regarding subsidies the commit
tee declaration said:
Since this an enormous program
requiring the best efforts of all con-
cerned, it would be a mistake to de-
cree that the construction should be
exclusively by the Government or
exclusively by private interests, but
the program should be carried out
If possible by participation of both
Government and private agencies
and on basis that will be equit-
able to all concerned and that will
enable private industry to partici-
pate with a reasonable margin OF
profit.
If this requires Government SUBJ
sides, such subsidies must be paid
because the social objective of elm
mating the slums Is so serious that
the objective must be obtained even
II Government subsidies are re-
quired. Since subsidies are justified
only in extreme cases and since a
rent subsidy is due primarily to in
adequate income, it is hoped that
the amount of subsidies can be kept
to minimum and the subsidy prob
lem eventually eliminated through
providing adequate income for the
families involved"
Report on Car Sharing.
The committee also heard a report
from Andy S. Hynes, ST, in charge
of the OPA car-sharing program
here, that there had been a dan.
gerous decline" in the number o1
automobiles available for use. He
estimated the decline here at rs O0(
cars, or from $4,000 cars in 194]
to 1l7,000 today.
Mr.. Hynes reported an improve
ment in the number of passengers
carried per car, however. This aver
age rose from 2.3 persons per cal
last fall to 29 persons per car BY
May 25, he said.
The committee congratulated Mr.
Hynes on this showing. 1t author
lied Chairman La Roe to write all
ministers affiliated with the Fed
Grafton Of Churches, calling or
church members to participate ir
the car-sharing program.
