Roosevelt Proposes
Security Organization
Before End Of War
fTert on Page B-2.j
By ]. A. FOX.

President Roosevelt wants to
see the United Nations world
security organization mapped at
the Dumbarton Oaks conference
established before the end OF
the war.
In q radio address broadcast to
the other American republics yes
terday in observance Of Columbus
Day, Mr.. Roosevelt said:
I'VE must press forward to bring
into existence this world organiza-
ton to maintain peace and security.
There is no time to lose. It is our
objective to establish the sound
foundation of the peace organiza-
ton without further delay and with
out waiting for the end Of the
hostilities."
The broadcast was made from the
White House in the presence Of a
gathering of diplomatic chiefs from
the American republics. Argentina
alone was missing.
The President also took occasion
to pay tribute to the italian people,
recalling that millions of that race
followed Columbus to the New
World, and adding "this is one Of
the reasons why the forces Of liberia
ton have been welcomed so
cordially by the Italian people after
~ years Of Fascisrn."
The President gave further assur-
ance Of the friendship Of this coun-
try for the italians last night, in a
radio speech to the ItaHan-Amer-
ican Labor Council In New York,
saying that when the Allies COM
plete military operations in Italy,
the Italians will be free to work out
their own destiny under a govern
ment Of their own choosing"
In his speech to the American
republics, President Roosevelt en-
phasized the necessity for solidarity
in this hemisphere. He warned that
If We do not take effective meas
ures to prevent another world war,
and II there were to be a third world
war. the lands Of the Western Hemi-
sphere would be as vulnerable to at
tack from Europe and Asia as were
the islands Of Crete and the Phil
ippine Islands five years ago."
After the broadcast. the diplomats
were guests at reception at the
Blair House, where they were told
by Undersecretary Of State Stettin-
ius that he and Secretary Hull were
anxious to exchange views on the
Dumbarton Oaks plan with neigh
boring countries. He said the con-
templated security organization will,
In effect, enhance the position" Of
the inter-American system.
The President addressed the Labor
Council in accepting the Four Free
doms Award Of the organization.
Attorney General Biddle made the
presentation with the assertion that
Mr.. Roosevelt had maintained '1his
faith in the italian soul" ever when
Italy, under captivity by the lackey
Fascists," was brought into war
against the United States.
"The United Nations are deter
mined that every possible measure be
taken to aid the italian people d.
rectly and to give them an oppor-
tunity to help themselves" the
President said. He explained that
until Germany has been finally and
decisively defeated" 1t will not be
possible to take adequate measures
to relieve all suffering In Italy"
The White House also made public
yesterday . message from Prime
Minister Bonomi Of italy in which
he conveyed 'the vivid and warm
good wishes of the new ITALY,,

Accepting the bust, Gov. Dewey
told the gathering of about 20C

would help him restore the Re-
publican party to its proper place

OF the bust, Gov. Dewey said he
was not surprised that "a man who

Painters and sculptors who had

so successful.
At the end Of the first day Of reg.
istration in New York City Monday
night the Republicans appeared tt
have gained all the breaks. The
anti-New Deal borough Of Queens
had reported a 5000 increase ir
prospective voters over the first day
four years ago, while the New Deal
boroughs OF Brooklyn, Bronx and
Manhattan showed a first-day de.
cline.
BY the end Of the third day, how.
ever, the situation had taken 8
surprising change, with Brooklyn
and the Bronx also showing gains
over the record-breaking turnout o1
1910, along with Queens. Local OBJ
servers say Queens was likely tc
show some increase regardless o1
war conditions, because It is a fast.
growing section. But few, If any
thought the other areas would run
above 1910, in view Of wartime MI
grafton Of workers and men away In

Legislation Figures.
Figures for the three days up Il
Wednesday night showed Brooklyn
with 529, Sol, an increase of 32,97:
over the comparable period OF 1910
Bronx. 295, ,488, an increase of 1896
and Queens, 277,588, an increase ol
37,9o5. Manhattan reported a de.
cline Of 6,852, and Richmond . droy
of 2,363.
The total for the city as q whole
for the three days was ! ,468, 40, al
increase of 1880 over the same
three days of 1910. The overall effsc
of these figures is regarded by i'm
partial observers as encouraging fol
the Democratic vote In New Yorl
City. Until the books close Satur'
day, however, the exact extent o.
this advantage will not be apparent
If, for example. the present rate O
registration should not continue dur
ing the last three days, part of tn
increase might reflect only an earl!
rush.
Gov. Dewey's supporters expec1
him to poll a heavy vote outside O.
the metropolis and the size of th.
upstate vote is not easy to gauge IL
advance on the basis of registration
for the reason that annual registra.
ton is not required in the rlra
areas, but only in communities o

Ito Announce Policy
On Postwar PLANNING
BY the Associated Press.

by tne ASSOClateQ PreSS.
CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-The United
States Conference Of Mayors yester-
day asked Congress to formulate
and announce at the earliest pos
sible time a policy for a national
postwar planning program"
A resolution adopted unanimously
said such congressional action
would be Ito the end that cities may
go forward at once with completion
of plans for city postwar projects
with full knowledge of the part the
National Government can be ex-
pected to take in this field"
Another resolution approved

establish a policy for disposal of
surplus WAR property and recog-
nize and provide that units of Gov
ernment be afforded priority for
purchase in order that the public
services may be adequately pro-
tected and provided for
Building Restrictions Must Stand.
Amid much postwar discussion,
the Mayors were cautioned by
Chairman Donald M. Nelson of the
War Production Board that relaxa-
ton now of restrictions on civilian
construction would imperil our
whole strategy" and by Undersec-
retary of War Robert P. Patterson
that "the end of the war is not in
sight"
Mr.. Nelson also said, at the closing
session of the Mayors annual meet
ing. that Il would rather be two
months late In reconversion. than
five minutes late in military pro-
duction.''
In other resolutions adopted the
Mayors:
Condemn any strikes of public
employees against duly constituted
municipal governmental agencies or
authorities
"Dlsapproved" recommendations
by the civil aeronautics admins
traitor that Federal funds for anv
new airports be funneled through
State aeronautical agencies because
airports have largely been de-
veloped by cities while States
own and operate few airports."
Urge Defeat of Lea Bill.
Recommended congressional de-
feat OF the Lea bill which, the reso-
luton said, provides the civil aero
nautics administrator could close a
municipal airport without notice
II the city did not remove approach
obstructions and prevent new OBJ
structions by zoning.
Urged legislation for payment to
taxing units of amounts "eoual to
taxes paid by privately owned prop
erty" on presently tax-free property
acquired by the Government for
military purposes.

|Teen-Ags Movement
Girl Leader Here 10
Discuss Moline Plan

Pretty Ruth Clifton, 1s, OF Moline,
ILL.,, who led teen-age youth move
|ment in her home town to attack
juvenile delinquency through estab-
lishment of recreational center,
is in Washington to discuss the
Moline Plan"
Scheduled to appear before the
Senate Subcommittee on Wartime
Health and Education at hearings
early next month. she will talk in
the meantime with Senator Pepper,
Democrat, Of Florida, the subcom-
mittee's chairman, and others.
A wholesome looking, unsophisti-
Gated teen-ager with twinkling
Irish blue eyes, Miss Clifton says
the most important idea back Of
the plan is to have the 'kids them
selves take the lead" in developing
clubs.
II don't think our plan is q
cure-all for juvenile delinquency"
she added, ''but it's . tangible ap-
roach"
Grew Out Of Club.
The Moline Plan" grew out Of
the Rec Club" a recreational CEN
ter for the youth Of Moline, estab-
lished after Miss Clifton and some
of her schoolmates had waged a
campaign to interest civic leaders
in the need.
Funds were contributed by mem
bers of such organizations as the
Dads Club and the PTA who
formed themselves into an adult
committee.
But once they got building for
U.S." Miss Clifton recalled, they
threw the door open and said,
o. K. You're going to get your club.
Come in and do it yourself She
believes that Is one reason the
club has been so successful.
It's 1,400 or more members hold
Saturday night dances and have a
variety of activities centering in
clubs within the club.
Our first rule is no intoxicating
beverages" she said. And our
second, no rowdyism that disturbs
others"
Handles Own Discipline.
The Rec Club" she added, has
found that 1t can handle its dis
ciplinary problems without adult
aid. 1t has a housemother, but
relies largely on its House Commit
tee and self-appointed secret ges-
tapo" to maintain order. Members
Of the secret gestapo" are broad
shouldered and popular" she ex-
plained, and manage to handle mat
ters tactfully in their own fashion.
Problems vary in different COM
munities. Miss Clifton said, but she
believes the Moline Plan" can be
adapted according to the need. She
was especially pleased to learn Of
the 'teen-age canteens in WASH
ington schools sponsored by the
Recreation Department in cooper
alton with other groups.
The Moline Plan" has been
studied by civic leaders from various
sections Of the country and Miss
Clifton has made a number OF
speeches in its behalf. She recently
spent some time in Hollywood,
where she served as technical
director during the making of

Safety Boxes Rented
By Mrs. Williams
To Be. Opened Today
Nv the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-Frustrat-
ed in a dozen or more lines of
investigation after two days OF
relentless inquiry, police today
sought clues to the murder of
Mrs. Frank Starr Williams in the
two safety boxes she rented
shortly before she was killed.
States attorneys officials disclosed
that the 55-year-old wife of q State
Department official had rented the
boxes at the Drake Hotel a few
hours before she was slain by q
mysterious middle e-aged woman In
her apartment in the hotel.
Police said they were puzzled by
this move, in view ofSthe fact Mrs
Williams had registered at the hotel
January 6 and had waited 13 days
before leasing the boxes.
Often Wore Valuable Jewels.
Police have learned from members
Of the victims family that she often
wore valuable jewels and was wear
ing an expensive diamond ring when
she was fatally shot Wednesday
night.
A robbery motive, early was in
vestigated but police officers said
no valuables had been stolen from
the apartment nor had the slayer
taken any jewels from Mrs. Will
liams, having fled Immediately after
shooting Mrs. Williams in the head.
Police and Coroner A. L. Brodie,
who yesterday continued an inquest
until February 8. will open the safety
boxes today. Whether the boxes
will bare any information in con-
nection with the murder is prob
lematical, officers said. ...
Mrs. Williams sister, Mrs. Louise
Roos, Burlingame, Calf, said the
only motive she could ascribe was
robbery. Il often warned her against
wearing her jewelry in public Mrs.
Roos said.
However, Investigating officers,
headed by Chief of Detectives John
L. Sullivan, said they had closely
followed each theory but they had
obtained no conclusive results. Com
menting on the lack of tangible
clues, Chief Sullivan commented:
II am completely mystified."
Similar views were expressed by
other officials, many of whom
agreed the most plausible theories
thus far were that the Staying was
one of revenge" or a case of mis-
taken identity.
Definitely established by police
was that the slayer was well-dressed
and that she shot Mrs. Williams
with an old 38-caliber gun after first
firing two wild shots at her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Patricia Goodbody, %. Two
hotel guests saw the slayer flee from
the Williams apartment, while a
police officer found witness who
had seen a woman answering the
slayer's description drive away from
the hotel in an automobile. He said
four of the seven numerals on the
license plate had been given police,
who were sent out to trace the car.
Members of the immediate family
were to attend funeral services for
Mrs. Williams today.
