Text Of RooseveFs Address Opening Campaign

ster the morale Of our soldiers
and sailors and airmen fighting
our battles all over the world.
Perhaps the most ridiculous of
these campaign falsifications is
the one that this administration
failed to prepare for the war
which was coming. I doubt
whether even Goebbels would
have tried that one. For even
he would never have dared hope
that the voters Of America had
already forgotten that many Of
the Republican leaders In the
Congress and outside the Con-
gress tried to thwart and block
nearly every attempt which this
administration made to warn our
people and to arm this Nation.
Some of them called our $4,000
airplane program fantastic. Many
OF those very same leaders who
fought every defense measure we
proposed are still in control of
the Republican party, were in
control Of its national convention
IN Chicago, and would be in con-
troll Of the machinery of the
Congress and of the Republican
party in the event of a Repub-
lican victory this fall.
Resents Raps at Fala.
These Republican leaders have
not been content with attacks
upon me. or my wife, or my sons
they now include my little dog,
Fala, Unlike the members of
my family, he resents this. Be-
ing a Scottie, as soon as he
learned that the Republican fic-
ton writer's had concocted
story that I had left him behind

on an Aleutian island and had
sent . destroyer back to find him
AT q cost to the taxpayers of
two or three or twenty million
dolars--his Scotch soul was fu-
rious. He has not been the same
dog since.
I am accustomed to hearing
malicious falsehoods about my
self-Such as that old, worm-eat-
en- chestnut that have repre-
sented myself as indispensable.
But think have a right to
object to libelous statements
about my dog. :.
But we all recognize the old
technique. The people of this
country know the past too well
to be deceived into forgetting.
Too much is at stake to forget.
There are tasks ahead of us
which we must now complete
with the same will and skill and
intelligence and devotion which
have already led us so far on
the road to victory.
There is the task of finishing
VIGOROUSLY this most terrible of
all wars as speedily as possible
and with the least cost in lives.
There Is the task of setting up
international machinery to as
sure that the peace. once estab-
lished, will not again be broken.
Task Of Reconversion.
And there Is the task which we
face here at home-the task of
reconverting our economy from
the purposes of war to the pur-
poses of peace.
These peace-building tasks
were faced once before, nearly a

masses Of the people. They
stopped imitation. They kept
prices on . relatively stable level.
Through the rehabilitation
period policies will be carried out
with the same objective In mind
Ito serve the needs Of the great
masses Of the people.
Not Time to Forget Men.
This Is not the time in which
men can be forgotten as they
were in the Republican catastro-
phe which we inherited. The re-
turning soldiers, the workers by
their machines, the farmers in
the field, the miners, the men
and women in Offices and shops,
do not intend to be forgotten.
They know they are not sur
plus. Because they know that
they are America.
We must set targets and OBJ
jectives for the future which will
seem impossible to those who
live In and are weighted down
by the dead past.
We are even now organizing the
logistics Of the peace Just as
Marshall, King, Arnold, MacAr-
thur. Eisenhower and Nimitz are
organizing the logistics OF this
war;.
The victory of the American
people and their Allies in this
war will be far more than q VIC
tory against Fascism and reac-
ton and the dead hand of des-
potism and Of the past. The
victory Of the American people
and their Allies In this war will
be a victory for democracy. 1t
will constitute such an afilrma-
ton Of the strength and power
and vitality of government by
the people as history has never
before witnessed.
With that animation of the
vitality Of democratic government
behind us, that demonstration of
its residence and Its capacity for
decision and for action-with
that knowledge Of our own
strength and power-we move

generation ago. They were
botched by Q Republican admin
istration. That must not happen
this time. We will not let 1t hap
pen this time.
Fortunately, We do not begin
from scratch. Much has been
done. Much more is under way.
The fruits Of victory this time
will not be apples to be sold on
street corners.
Many months ago, this admin
istration set up the necessary
machinery for an orderly peace
time rehabilitation. The Con-
gress has now passed legislation
continuing the agencies needed
for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS addi-
tional powers to carry out their
functions.
"Will to DO for Peace"
know that the American
people-business and labor and
agriculture-have the same will
to do for peace what they have
done for war. And I know that
they can sustain a national in

duction and full employment I'M

HOLLYWOCD.
Kind OF mean trick, we think,
but Hollywood husbands have q
habit OF walking on movie set Just
as their wives are making love to
the leading man. What goes in a
situation like that?' Well, emotions
seem to vary-a whole lot.
Maureen O'Hara can't and won't
act in such predicament. She
was doing a love scene with John
Garfield in "The Fallen Sparrow"
when her spouse, viii Price, home
on leave, wandered onto the stage.
Maureen proceeded to blow six sue
cessive times. Then she turned to
Price. Co." she said, "You 60 take
q walk"
Greer Carson was hit by a similar
experience while making white
Cliffs Of Dover" Husband Richard
Ney was hurried of the set so
Greer wouldn't be looking over Alan
Marshalls shoulder in the kiss
scenes.
On the other hand, we ran smack
into Barbara Stanwyck today tucked

wistful. Passing by during that
little interval in eternity was the
Icinema's most fiery personality, tall,
stately, highly photogenic Katharine
Hepburn. Whatever her personal
mission, which may have been a
sandwich at the commissary, Miss
Hepburn was no less than Heaven
sent to the girl sitting on the lumber
pile.
This" Miss Hepburn told her
self. lis a very special person"
Having decided that, Miss Hep
burn inquired as to the girls name,
learned that she was just strug-
Cling little actress who was being
largely ignored by the studio, came
to the conclusion that the girls
wistfulness was altogether too SYM
bolic of the cinema's ignorance
andfor indifference to the talent
that too rarely lies just behind great
beauty.
Miss Hepburn talked with the
girl, encouraged her, promised to
do something in her behalf with the
higher-ups to whom Miss Hepburn
was accustomed to speak with pas
sion on whatever she believed worthy
Of the Hepburn passion.
Miss Hepburn kept her word. She
did speak to the higher-ups. She
spoke with that very special fervor
which is one of her highest and
most telling gifts. The girl on the
lumber found herself being noticed.
She began to get roles, not too good
but not so bad that she could not
turn them into something signifi-
cant for those who had eyes to see
great potential acting ability.
The lumber pile incident receded
in time and the young actress grew
in recognition even more wonder
fully than she had hoped, but not
more than Miss Hepburn said she
had reason to hope.
Eventually she won an Academy
Award, which illustrated not only
how fine an actress she was, but
what good talent scout Miss Hep
burn could be.
The girl was Joan Fontaine,
If you have not guessed and she
probably would have reached the
Presidents Birthday Celebration
program as its prize star If she had
never sat wistfully on lumber pile
and been spotted by Miss Hepburn.
That, however, is the way she did
reach 1t.
Age is such neatly parried sub
ject among persons in show business
that the Trade Winds Monty Wolf
becomes about as newsworthy in
his attitude toward it as If he be-
came the man who bit dog. Mr..
Wolf not only admits he is 81, but
has certificate to prove it when
people look incredulous.
1t is probably because he looks 20
years under that age that he admits
it so enthusiastically.
Incidentally, Mr. Wolf is quite
historian Of the theater and has
played 1t so widely from here to
there that he speaks of Iondon's
current and earlier crop of critics
as familiarly as he does those in
this country's larger cities.
He's quite person to lure to
your table if you like to talk about
everybody who has had anything to
do with the theater in the last sew
eral decades.
When Cross and Dunn end their
headlining of the Troika's program

lowed by one of the most distinctive

tributed to show business. That

satirical daughter of a former Fed
