and out Of the United States-an OF
them performing functions which
definitely relieve men for combat
work.
Then there are the millions of
women who have gone into war in
dustries. They are greatly respon-
sible for the fact that the munitions
and supplies to our men at the front
have gone through to them on time
And, finally, the women who un-
complainingly have done the job OF
keeping the homes going-the homes
with service flags in the window
service flags with blue stars or gold
stars.
And we do not forget those wom-
en- who have volunteered with the
men in the difficult and important
work of the ration boards all over
the Nation-doing the job of appor-
tioning the necessities of life equi-
tably among their neighbors-rich
and poor.
Every one who has made sacri-
flee in this war-and that includes
135 900 900 Americans-is determined
that this must not happen again
that the disastrous mistakes of the
past shall not be repeated-that this
Nation shall be committed to play
leading part in a world organiza- =
ton which shall be strong and ef-
fective and enduring.
Threat Of Spite Fence"
We have been told during this
political campaign that unless the
American people elect the Repub-
lican presidential choice the Con-
gress will not cooperate in the
peace. This is q threat to build q
party spite fence between us and
the peace.
I do not know who empowers these
men to speak for the Congress in
uttering such a threat.
Certainly the United States Sen
ate and the House of Representa-
tives showed no reluctance to agree
with the foreign policy of this ad-
ministration when, almost unani-
mously. last year, they passed the
Connally and Fulbright resolutions
which pledged this Nation to CO.

Planned Parenthood'
Advised in War Cases

The principles of planned par
enthood" are needed by young cou-
piles where the husband has just
returned from war, according to Mrs
Ruth H. Backus, executive director
of the Maternal Consultation Gen.
ter, Rochester, N. Y.
Lately patients have come to us
whose husbands have returned from
overseas service wounded physically
or mentally" she told the Planned
Parenthood Association of the Dis
trict at a recent meeting of its new
volunteer group, held at the home
of Mrs. John w. Davidge.
THE husband has a real readjust-
ment to make in returning to nor
NAL life," she explained. The cou-
pie has readjustment to make each
toward the other and toward exist
ing children. 1t is inconceivable
that in that adjustment period peo-
pie should have to embark upon an
undesired pregnancy"
The Rev. Francis w. McPeek of
the Federation of Churches said
Americans must face new world
mot Victorian world, but a highly
industrialized, changing world, where
each child no longer has deep roots
in the security of the same home,
the same community, but must face
new scenes as its family moves to
new employment areas"
Pointing out that most women
are not "careerists," but are work.
ing as wage earners, he said: 1T is
necessary to assist in the proper
spacing and planning of the family
within the limits of its income
potential"

Parenthood Association, presided.

THE EVENING STAR, Washington D. c. - A
rAoAY, NOVEMBER 3.

I look forward to millions Of new
homes, fit for decent living; to new,
low-priced automobiles; new high
ways; new airplanes and airports;
to television; and miraculous, new
inventions and discoveries, made
during this war, which will be
adapted to the peacetime uses Of
peace-loving people.
The record that we have estab-
lished In this war is one of which
every American has right to be
proud-today and for all time.
We do not want the later record
to say that the great job was done
in vain.
We do not want our boys to come
back to an America which is headed
for another war in another genera
| ton.
Our postwar JOB will be to work
and to build-for better America
than we have ever known.
If in the next few years we can
start that job right, then you and
can know that we have kept
faith with our boys-we have helped
them to win total victory.

Employe Seen Possible
Source Of Jail Illness

A throat infection of food ham
dler may have been responsible for
the illness of approximately 100 in
mates and one matron at the Dis
trict Jail October 26, Health Officer
George c. Rutland reported yester-
day to Commissioner Guy Mason.
The medical report, however
praised the excellent condition" OF
the jail's kitchen. The report said
there was no way of proving that
the sickness came from the infec-
ton, but DR.. Carl G. Dauer, chief
epidemiologist, said it was possible
organisms from the throat of the
food handler produced a toxin in
the food.
Routine examination of those
who handle and prepare food, the
exclusion from such service of those
who are found with infection, as we'll
as more careful refrigeration of
food, are the indicated steps in the
prevention of such outbreaks" DR.
Ruhland said.

These are high and serious mat
ters to those who know how greatly
our victory in this war and our abil-
ity to establish q lasting peace de-
pend on maintaining unshaken that
understanding which must be the
core of the United Nations.
It is heartening for me to have
known and to have talked with the
statesmen Of the smaller nations as
we'll as our larger Allies-men like
Benes of Czechoslovakia, Mikola-
jczyk of Poland, Nygaardswold OF
Norway-and leaders of democratic
thought from Yugoslavia and Greece

Netherlands-and, of course, the
great leaders of our neighbor coun-
tries in this hemisphere.

talking with men from the more
remote nations-such as Turkey,
Persia, Arabia, Abyssinia, Liberia,
Siam and others-for all of them
are part and parcel of the great
family Of nations. 1t is only through
an understanding acquired by years
Of consultation, that one can get
a viewpoint Of their problems and
Evening star., 1944-11-03

their innate yearnings for freedom.
And all Of them have this In
common--that they yearn for peace
and stability, and they look to
America with hope and faith.
The world is rising from the
agony of the past, the world Is
turning with hope to the future
1t would be a sorry and cynical
thing to betray this hope for the
sake Of mere political advantage
and tragic thing to shatter II
because Of the failure Of vision.
Whispers and Rumors.
There have been some othel
aspects Of this campaign which have
been distasteful to all OF us.
This campaign has been marreo
by even more than the usual cror
of whisperings and rumorings. Some
Of these get into print, in certain
types of newspapers; others are
traded about, secretly, in one black
market after another. I do not
propose to answer In kind.
The voting record proves that the
American people pay little atten-
ton to whispering campaigns. They
have paid little attention to al
the malignant rumors of enemy
origin which have flooded this
Evening star., 1944-11-03

country during this war-and am
sure they will treat the present
whispering with the same contempt.
AS We approach election day more
wicked charges may be made with
the hope that some one or somebody
will gain momentary advantage.
Hysterical. last-minute accusa-
tions or sensational revelations are
trumped, up In an attempt to panic
the people on election day.
But the American people are not
panicked easily.
This election will not be decided
on basis Of malignant murmur-
ings-or shouts. It will be settled
on the basis Of the record.
We all know the record Of our
military achievements in this war
And we all know the record of
the tremendous production achieve
ments Of our American farmers, our
American businessmen and our
American labor.
Record of Teamwork.
And We all know the record of our
teamwork with our Allies. I'M
mediately after Pearl Harbor we
formed with the other United Ma
tions the greatest military coalition
in world history. And we haye

force greater than the entire
American Expeditionary Force OF
1918. American troops now are
fighting along battle line Of 300
miles in France and about a hun
dred miles in Italy.
Within 10 weeks after the first
landings in France last June, the
Allies had landed on the Normandy
beaches nearly 100000 men, more
than 100000 tons of supplies and
nearly half a million vehicles.
Think of all that vast mass OF
material for one operation-think
of the war factories and ships and
planes and railroads and labor re-
quired to produce and deliver the
right supplies to the right place at
the right time.
Then think OF the tasks that lie
ahead of us-all the long, tough
miles to Berlin-all the major land
ings yet to be made in the Pacific
and you will have a conception OF
the magnitude of the job that re-
mains to be done. 1t is still job
requiring the all-out production
efforts to all our people here at
home.
Delays in the performance of our
job at home mean prolonging the
war. They will mean an increase in
the total price we must pay in the
lives of our men.
All Of our able commanders in
the field know this. And so do our
soldiers and sailors. And We at
home must never forget 1t.
AL Americans at home are con-
cerned in this-the fulf1llment of
an obligation to our fighting men.
Women Most Concerned.
The women of America are most
profoundly concerned.
Today women are playing a far
more direct, more personal part in
the war than ever before.
First, and I think rightly first,
are those women who have gone
into the WACS and the WAVES
and the Marines and the Coast
Guard, the nursing services of the
Army and Navy, the Red Cross
serving in all kinds of places, in
