Text Of Presidents S Address
Tells RuroI Educational Meeting
Poor Communities Must Receive Aid

Closely related to this whole prob
lem is the question Of the health OF
our young people.
Here again we cannot boast Of our
part in this war without a feeling
of guilt-for about 40 per cent OF all
men who were examined had to be
rejected for military service for
physical or mental reasons.
We cannot be satisfied with the
state Of this Nation If large per-
centage of our children are not
being given the opportunity to
achieve good education and good
health.
I believe that our educators
those who are close to our children
should consider these two prob
lens together. ! believe that from
such conferences as this one we NAV
produce constructive plans looking
toward substantial Improvement in
our American standard of living.
And that means better production,
better clothes, better food, better
housing, more recreation, more en-
joyment OF life. These things do
not come from wishful thinking
they come from hard work and
realistic thinking by those who are
sincerely devoted to the solution of
these problems.
We do not pretend that we can
reach our goals overnight, but IL we

Rural School Program
|WiII Be Presented
|By Educators Today

A program for improving rural
educa tion-expected to stress Fed
eral aid for needy rural school sys-
tems-will be presented late this
afternoon by 200 educators confer
ring at the White House
President Roosevelt struck the
keynote of the conference yesterday
when he described the problem as
one of dollars and cents"
The President believes the Federal
Government should grant money to
maintain rural educational systems
he said, but only where it is needed
in communities where farming
does not pay, where land values
have depreciated'
Saying he once knew a rural
teacher who got only $3.50 a year,
President Roosevelt said such wages
were too low to maintain decent"
educational standards.
Taxes No Solution.
Raising taxes to get more money
for teachers Is no solution, he said,
unless the community has taxable
property. He added that his native
Hyde Park, N. Y, for example, has
enough taxable property to support
its own schools adequately, but in
some Georgia towns, for example, he
said, taxable values are just not
there"
Immediately preceding the Presi-
dents address, his wife entered into
a brisk exchange with Edward A.
ONeal, president of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, over pos
sible restriction of teachers freedom
of speech by the rural communities
in which they are employed.
Mr.. O'Neal, member of a panel
with Mrs. Roosevelt, criticized pes
simism" about rural schools, saying
that rural education had come a long
way on little money. If the Govern
ment would grant money to the
farmers to give them equality" with
industrial workers getting double
time" Mr.. O'Neal declared, the farm
communities could manage their own
health and school problems.
Clashes With Mrs. Roosevelt.
When Mrs. Roosevelt, who had
been one of the speakers deploring
rural conditions, tried to interrupt
him, Mr.. O.Neal said sharply:
Now, madame, wait minute!"
Mrs. Roosevelt then sat in silence.
James B. Carey. secretary treas.
urer of the Congress of Industrial
Organizations, advocated that more
teachers join the teachers unions to
work together for more pay and as
sured tenure of position.
"It may be wrong to organize"
Mrs. Roosevelt declared. Most peo-
pie are opposed to teachers doing
that"
Afraid to Speak Out.
Without an organization, how
ever, she said, teachers in rural
communities are afraid to speak
their minds because their lack of
tenure makes them liable to be
discharged at any time.
Turning to Mr.. O'Neal, she contin-
ued: How are you going to get
leadership from people if. when they
say that such and such is true,
some one from Mr. O'Neal's organi-
zation will say, that's dangerous
doctrine"
The conference broke into cheers.
Mr.. ONeal flushed and made no
reply. ~ =
Before the conference votes a
program plan late this afternoon,
the educators will hear summaries
Of specific rural problems reported
by representatives of each of the
i've groups into which the confer
ence has been divided.

Deny SHAEF FoVors Yonk Businessmen

London, Sept, 2i, (up)-den. Dwight D. Eisenhower or another offieial of supreme headquarters of tho Allied EXpeditionary Force wak expected today to answer the Daily Malls charge that shaef permitted American business men to 90 to Paris in military uniform to make contacts and conduct private enter prise,
 While there was no ilmedIate comment from shaef Donald dill secretary Of the American Chamber of Commerce in London, and liar. Vey Gibson, director of the Amer. lean Red Cross in the European theater, both denied the charge.
 The fact that shaef had no ofl- cial comment today was not taken as an indication that it would ignore the newspaper article. An ofieial reaction was expected after Eisen. hover or his political advisers in Franee-American Samuel Reber and British Charles Teake, both of whom have ministerial status and now are in France with the coF- mander in in-chief-have ha dtlme to get Q report of the charges and con. sider them.
 A shaef spokesman while declln- ing comment, gave the impression that the newspapers charges, made without names, were considered most vague. The newspapers charges, made without names, were considered most vague. The neys" paper charged that Shaef permits to France were occupied by Amer jeans to allow Americans to enter Paris, while British business men were kept out.

Ask Death
 For Coruso

Rome, Sept, 2i - (UP.) Death sentences were demanded by the prosecution today for Pietro Caruso former police chief in Rome, and his private secretary, Robert Oc' chetto, at the conclusion of the first trial of Fascist criminals.
 The nine judges who tried the case were expected to pronounce sentence late today.
 The trial was successfully con- cluded after having been interrupt cd once by Q public demonstration which ended in the lynching of Do- nato Caretta, Q prison ofiicial who was to have been one of the chief witnesses for the prosecution.
 The two defendants listened inl- passively as Marion Berlinguer, chief prosecutor, denounced them. When he ended an hour and Q half long summary with Q demand for their execution, Caruso stirred and blushed, and Occhetto stopped chewing e piece of gum which an American photographer had given him.
 Caruso was charged with several instances of collaborating with the Germans during the last few months of German occupation of Rome when he was chief of police, mainly that he was chief of police, mainly that he turned over to the Nazis 50 of S20 hostages who were shot in reprisal for the killing of g Germans.
 Occhetto was accused of giving the Germans information concern ing activities of the Italian Patriots.

WorMoyLost All Winter

Boston, Sept. 2i - (UP) - Carl lylc Holt, Boston Globe Staff Cor respondent with the U. S. forces in Europe, said today in dispatch from France that he believes the war with Germany may drag on ali winter.
 "A month ago." Holt wrote, "I though the war would be over by the middle of October. I have changed my mind and think the campaign may drag on for weeks or months, possibly requiring further military operations next spring. Quite possibly we may be in for a period of mean, protracted guerrilla warfare, even after formal resist aIace has been abandoned"
 Holt said that those who antici- pate an armistice or surrender of the Germans may be disappointed.
 'The possibility is good that there may never be an armistice or form al surrender, but rather a military occupation of Germany and result ant military government of the country without negotiations with any recognized German govern ment," the dispatch said. This de-

Under existing laws the City of Waterbury would need to expend $640,s40 an nually for the next 30 years to defray costs of its obliga- tions of pensions accruing to employees. This estimate was revealed today in the first public report of the city Pension Retirement Commis- sion based on computations made by Russell Hooker, Hartford actuary, and sub- mitted to the commission for review. c.

 The naval organ, Red Fleet, de. scribed the situation as "intoler. able" and demanded strict uncon. ditional fulfillment Of all armistiJe terms.

 Mueller, National Hroadcasting Correspondent, broadcast on behalf of the American networks after his return from Eisenhower's new coiia- mand post in eastern France.
