Mr.. Roosevelt told new con-
ference, however, that he definite
w was not going to make any
transcontinental tour as he a d
some newspapers had suggested he

to comment on sentence OF a
speech by Sen. Mead O-NY) IN
Buffalo last Saturday in which the
senator said we can expect Rus
sian help in the Pacific war.
The President said he's not COM
menting on part of what some
body said. He's learned better, ne
smiled.
