FDR Reduces
Conferences

Washington, Jan. IA. (UP)-
President Roosevelt, who used to
hold regular twice-a-week press and
radio conferences, has averaged only
a little better than one week in
the vast year.
Wartime travel and occasional
fullnesSes have been the principal
reasons given for Mr.. Roosevelt's
lessening contacts with reporters.
For years 1t was the Presidents
custom to meet with newsmen viz
tually every Tuesday afternoon and
Friday morning to make announce
mentS and to submit to free-for-all
questioning. These conferences rare
ly were cancelled and often were
held even when he was out of town
for the benefit Of reporters travel
ing with him.
Since Pearl Harbor, however, Mr.
Roosevelt has missed more and more
his news conferences. None Is held
when he is out Of Washington in
wartime because reporters travel
with him only on exceptional occa-
Sions.
Mr.. Roosevelt held only SO press
conferences in 1913, compared with
So in 1912, 81 In 1871 and 50 in
1910, the third term campaign year.
During the 10 months he was In
office in 1888 he held SS conferences.
The total to date since he took Of
flee on March 4, 1888, is o29.
The President has held only three
news sessions since Nov. O. shortly
before he left the country for the
Cairo and Tehran conferences.
He held two news conferences
shortly after his return, one on Dec.
II and again on Dec. u, and one
after Christmas, o Dec. %, but none
since then.

lions today were that the special
session of the General Assembly,
converting Jan. "a, would consider
the states milk situation only from
the standpoint of memor1anzlng
congress and the president to grant
an immediate price increase to
dairymen.
The legislative council, obtaining
the opinions of five experts as 10
what procedure to follow, was told
that the legislature could not ef-
fectively handle the price situation
on its own.
The experts rejected the COVER
nor's suggestion that the state milk
administrator authority be ex-
tended to allow him to hike the
producer price by two cents quart.
Also opposed was a proposal the
state impose two cents quart tax
on consumers to establish a subsidy
for producers. The constitutionality
Of this recommendation was ques-
toned.
Open defiance Of OPA price CELL
ings, it was contended, would only
lead to litigation between the state
and federal governments, with
resultant loss financially to dairy
men.

ministrator John j. Sweeney; Ly-

A Domei-dispatch broadcast from

Such rumors are too absurd to

The spokesman added that they
reflected war weariness in the Unit

tention of the enemy powers to
spread the peace rumor in an effort
to ALLEVIATE Japan and Germany"
he was quoted
Iguchi also denied recent reports

that Portugal had decided to sever
relations with Japan and would
send 10000 men to the Southwest
Pacific Island of Timor, part of
which is Portuguese territory occu-

Ace Promoted 10 Captain
Arlington Mother Believes

A story in yesterdays Star has
led Mrs. Addison Grant, SOFT North
Twenty-fifth street, Arlington, Va,
to believe her 2l-year -old son, Henry
w. Brown, one Of the country's lead
ing aces, has been promoted to
captain.
This Is the reason: The story re-
ported that Capt. H. w. Brown had
destroyed his 9th enemy plane
Monday In one of the largest shut
tie flights ever to reach Russia.
Only last week Mrs. Grant had read
OF her sons 26th victory. He was a
first lieutenant then. Yesterdays
story from Moscow did not give
the fighter pilots Washington con-
nection, but the combination Of
facts was enough to convince Mrs.
Grant that it was her son.
When the flyer, a graduate OF the
Mckinley High School, was home
recently on q 3o-day furloush, he
was offered an assignment in this
country, his mother said. The young
pilot preferred to return to England.
