w 0uen's Club
Hears Roosevelt
York Defended
By Gretchen Smith,

Charges against the Roosevelt adj
ministration by Gov. Dewey and
other Republicans were denied yes
terday by Tom Clark, Assistant
United States Attorney General in
an address before the Women's Ma
tional Democratic Club.
Speaking at the clubs weekly
luncheon meeting, Mr.. Clark, in
urging those Of his audience who
have the vote to 60 to the polls
next month, cited statements by
members Of the Republican party
which he declared were unfair and
untrue. These included paragraph
which he quoted from q card Wake
Up, America" sent under congress
sional frank in recent weeks to
thousands OF voters throughout the
country stating that this red specter
OF Communism Is stalking our coun-
try from east to west, from north
to south, unrecognized."
That is really a slam at me-" he
said. 1T Is also a slam at j. Edgar
Hoover, for he knows where they
are. There is no 'specter OF Com
munism stalking the country The
charge is Just q red herring to
throw into the campaign.
Mr.. Clark took exception to Mr..
Dewey's recent statement in West
Virginia, look at the way q tired
administration has bungled its way
into war production"
ut wasn't too tired to fight" he
said. Nor to invade Africa and
Europe. You can't call the produc-
ton OF over 1000 planes a month
bungling, can you? II SO, we need
more OF the Roosevelt bungling."
The speaker recalled q statement
by Mr.. Dewey in 1910 that it would
take four years to produce $4,000
planes. which Mr.. Roosevelt declared
were necessary to national defense.
He recalled also that Charles Lind
bergh had argued the Nazis had SO
many planes sit was no use to try"
Who said to 60 on and try any,
way he continued. Mr.. Roosevelt.
And In 1912 over $4,000 planes were
produced in six months"
Mr.. Clark cited President Roose-
velts past efforts two years before
Pearl Harbor to have Guam forth
fed and to raise sufficient funds for
airplanes, both OF which were voted

down by Congress. He recalled the
Presidents fight for passage of the

OF the bill was nearly defeated. The

By the Way
Refk Rl0ine

For the first time In washington
there Is to be q collection Of clothes
for Poland. A collection under the
auspices OF the Polish War Relief
which will not last a week or a
month or even winter-but In
definitely-until the long suffering
men, women and children Of the
country which has borne more than
its share OF Hitler's wrath have at
least one warm garment to put on
their shivering backs.
Nine. Ciechanowska. wife of the
Polish Ambassador here, explains
the reason for the collection at this
particular time.
"It Is only now that the war seems
to be nearing an end" she said,
that there seems to be chance Of
getting these clothes into Poland.
Up to now there has been little
chance. 1t is hard for me to tell you
just how desperate and urgent is the
need for clothes in my country.
Imagine a country bitterly cold in
winter-without fuel, without warm
water or soap. A country where
the Germans have helped them
selves to whatever there was in the
way Of food and clothing.
up to now outside aid has been
almost impossible.
Like all the ladies of the Polish
Embassy group and the ladies on
the committee, OF which Mrs. Frank
Simonds is chairman, Nine. Ciecha-
nowska Is working like Trojan to
make this collection a success. The
embassy basement has been turned
into a receiving center where clothes
anything that is disable, preferably
warm-are gladly received every
afternoon from 3 until O'Clock.
Here they are sorted and packed
and sent on to the warehouse In
New York, where they are repacked
by professionals for overseas ship
ment.
In addition to the clothes, Nine.
Ciechanowska says, the committee
badly needs an adequate receiving
station or depot for these things.
They have looked in vain for an
empty shop or rooms-so If you
know of any you'll be doing real
service to the people of Poland If
you tell the committee about it.
You can telephone either Mrs.
Frank Simonds or Nine. Ciecha-
nowSka at the Polish Embassy.
