There was bonfire on the beach
and big wood fire in the living

records were available but weren't
used at all, so lazy did everyone
feel and so comfortable before the
fireplace. And there was another

having to depend on mechanical

with welcome refreshments OF hot

Roosevelt Appeals
To General Electric
To LET Wilson STAY
Hy the Associated Press.


The White House disclosed yester-
day that President Roosevelt has
asked the General Electric Co. to al
low Charles E. Wilson to continue on
leave until next summer, declaring
it to be really essential to the con-
duct of the war" that Mr.. Wilson
remain executive vice chairman OF
the War Production Board.
Speculation has centered for
weeks on the possibility that Mr..
Wilson might resign the WPB post,
and Friday he conferred with Mr..
Roosevelt. Afterward the Chief
Executive sent a letter to Gerard
Swope, head Of General Electric, re-
questing that the company's Board
Of Directors extend Mr.. Wilson's
leave so that he can help to see the
Government through this critical
period"
Mr.. Wilson, who left the G. E.
presidency to come here, has been
serving the WPB on leave without
pay:
The President told Mr. Swope that
"in the immediate future" many
questions will arise regarding pro-
duction for the Government. These
involve, he said, changes necessi-
tated by the fact that capacity is
being reached in many lines and by
the need for flexibility to take care
OF demands for new types of arms
and munitions and slowing down
in other types.
For this purpose" Mr.. Roose-
velt said II think it is really essen
tial to the conduct Of the war that
Charlie Wilson remain with the
Government until next summer"
| He praised the fine and necessary
work" which Mr. Wilson had accom-
plished in keeping up production
to capacity, and he said the same

General Electric executive.

From out Of the suffering and
hardship OF this war the American
people hope to bring two very ele
mental things secure peace and
the opportunity to work. They have
learned that peace Is two sided
that no nation, however peace low
ing and however powerful, can re-
main at peace in a world where ma
tions bent on war and conquest are
allowed free rein. They have
learned, too, In the great mobiliza-
ton Of this war, that the resources
Of this Nation, when fully utilized
provide unlimited opportunities fol
employment once the determination
to produce is put into play.
In war we have learned to co.
operate with the United Nations ir
order to speed victory. In war
we have learned to use all the coun.
try's manpower and all the country's
energies in order to produce the ma
terial Of victory.
War Lessons for Peace.
The Democratic Party believes
that these lessons of war can be
applied to peace; that we will co.
operate with other nations to safe
guard our victory and prevent
future wars: that we will use the
wisdom and the strength Of this
Nation to prevent return to the
misery Of depression and of unem-
ployment.

years Of Republican "normalcy,"
when America retreated into feudal

people who have three times elected
Franklin D. Roosevelt to be their
President, does hereby gladly and
proudly express its full and unflinch-

for that leadership both at home and
abroad, and it further pledges its
every energy and every purpose to
the erection of lasting and endur-
ing peace in which an America free
from unemployment and poverty
will take its rightful place in world
free of the threat of war; and it does
further express its deep conviction
that the liberal spirit and farsighted
practical idealism of this Nation,
exemplif1ed to the world by Franklin

that no. man who dies in this war
