that has resulted in lowering the

National Observance
OF Family Week Gets
Presidents S Backing

The particular need for focusing
attention on the family and its
needs during these trying and dis
turbing times of war" is emphasized
by President Roosevelt in a letter
Endorsing the observance of National
Family Week May TIA.
The letter is addressed to DR..
Edgar Schmiedeler, O. S. B., director
Of the Family Life Bureau, National
Catholic Welfare Conference, and
Catholic representative on joint
national committee including Prot
estant and Jewish representatives.
1t is always exceedingly heartening
to see the churches give their spe-
cial attention to the home and to
stress its great spiritual values, :"
President Roosevelt wrote in part.
''The race has always owed much to
its family life. The genuinely hui
manizing forces Of life are nurtured
in our homes. Our homes are out
standing among the mainsprings
Of our striving upward, among the
well springs Of our civilization. The
old spirit OF the home must by all
means be safeguarded; the family
sense Of the Nation must by all
means be kept healthy and Wig
orous."
National Family Week is spon-
sored and observed by churches
throughout the Nation, aiming at
"the spiritual strengthening of
family life to meet successfully the
wartime and postwar conditions
which tend to menace and disrupt
families"
Serving with DR.. Schmiedeler on
the national committee are the
Rev. Harry C. Munro of Chicago
and Rabbi Ahron Opher of New
York.
Inaugurated last year, the observ-
ance is supported this year by the
Office Of Civilian Defense, the Chill
dren's Bureau, Once of Education,
Federal Security Administration and
the extension service of the Agri-
culture Department among others.

Move 10 Gust Farley
AS State Party Head
Is Expected 10 Fail
BY the Associated Press.

bS tuc ASsOClalea fTeSS.
Democratic National Commit
tee officials were reported today
to be discouraging a move to
oust James A. Farley, former ma
tional chairman. as head of the
|party's State Committee in New
York, and an effort by one fac
tion to bring about a showdown
at a meeting of the State group
Wednesday is expected to fall
through.
MIR. Farley called the meeting to
complete slate of national con-
vention delegates with selections
representing 10 votes. The majority
OF these are likely to favor fourth
term for President Roosevelt, which
Mr.. Farley has opposed.
Twenty convention delegates. each
with half vote, will be selected at
the meeting. along with 20 alter
mates. The 10 convention votes will
be added to those of the 86 district
delegates elected in the State pri-
mary, each Of whom has a full vote.
O'ConneIl's Head Move.
One highly-placed Democrat said
he was certain no announcement
was being given by National Com
mlttee officials to the move begun
by Daniel P. O'Connell and John J.
O'Connell, jr., brothers who head the
Albany Democratic organization, to
supplant Mr.. Farley as State chair
man at the meeting with Thomas j.
V. Cullen, Orange County chairman.
The OConnells have demanded
that Mr.. Farley be replaced with a
fourth-term advocate, since the
States delegation to the national
convention will be for the President
and New York will be a battle
ground in the November election.
While the Democratic official here
said that if the Craftsmanship turn
ed on that basis alone there prob
ably were sufficient votes to force a
change, he expressed the opinion
that the personal friendships Of the
State Committee members for the
that they won't do anything to
humiliate Jim" There has been no
indication that Mr.. Farley intends to
remove himself from the picture.
Unity Move Seen.
The State chairman made what
was interpreted as a gesture toward
unity recently by inviting National
Chairman Robert e. Hannegan and
Senate Majority Leader Barkley to
be principal speakers at the party's
annual Jefferson Club dinner in New
York City May 8.
Beyond that, friends point out that
Mr.. Farley has not lined up publicly
with any OF the anti-fourth term
movements that have been started
within the Democratic ranks. At
tempts by Harry Woodring, former
Secretary Of War, to get MIR. Farley
publicly committed to support of
the American Democratic National
Committee failed. Mr.. Woodring re-
Gently resigned the chairmanship of
the group, declaring anti-fourth
term Democrats generally were "too
timid politically and economically to
stand up end be counted"
