Roosevelt Drops Hint
He ||'' May Visit B Britain '!'i'Ei' !.
For Close Look al War

President Roosevelt is believed
to be counting on another trip
abroad to meet Prime Minister
Churchill and get q closer look
at the war.
Reports have been current fol
some time that such a meeting was
in prospect and in response to q
question at his news conference yes
terday as to the outlook for this get
together, the President remarked
graphically that he hoped to see Mr.
Churchill in the summer, autumn
or perhaps early spring.
When a reporter asked what
about winter" the President said
he didn't like the North Atlantic in
winter.
Several current factors have sug-
gested that the President might
want to make the trip, one being
the forthcoming visit of Gen
Charles de Gaulle to London fol-
conferences with Mr.. Churchill.
Postwar Plans Advanced.
Observers doubt that this WOULD
be enough to bring on the Churchill
Roosevelt conference, but Mr.
Roosevelt is believed to want q
closer look at the war.
The President also told his news
conference that this country is
much further advanced with post.
war plans now than in the later
stages Of the first World War.
He recalled that when President
Wilson and his advisers went to
Paris in December. 1918, they had
plenty OF documentary material as
sembled, but very little else for con.
crete discussion.
Now, he said, there have been a
series of conferences-citing White
Sulphur Springs. on food: Atlantic
City on relief and rehabilitation, and
Philadelphia on labor-at which
planning for the postwar world has
been at the forefront.
Plans in Rough Draft.
A reporter put In that Secretary OF
State Hull had said this country was
further advanced than others or
study of postwar overall security
and asked If Mr.. Roosevelt agreed.
The President said he thought
that was probably true.
The subject had been discussed
he said, at the Teheran anc
Cairo conferences - his meetings
with Prime Minister Churchill ane
Premier Stain, and with Mr.
Churchill and Generalissimo Chiane
Kai-shek, respectively.
While ideas have been put into 9
first draft, the President said, he
would no more think of giving that
out than he would the first draft oi
one OF his speeches.
The President also expressed the
opinion that the term invasion
is inadequate to describe the mil.
itary operations to be carried on
he said this summer-in Europe.
The word Liberation" would be
better, Mr.. Roosevelt thought.

OF them are painted with handsome
swastikas and with the names Of
the dead printed in heavy Germanic
letters. On some Of the markers,
instead Of the swastikas there is q
small emblem which resembles the
iron cross.
Obviously the Germans devoted q
good deal Of time and care to this
place. Many graves are decorated
with patterns Of pebbles and small
wild flowers and they have put
wreaths on them and sprigs OF

In support Of this theory, he

feeling that you have dropped In

There Is paradox here. On the
one hand 1t is obvious the Germans
knew they would have to abandon
Gaeta. They created road blocks
through extensive demolitions and
wrecked harbor facilities and mill
tary installations. On the other
hand the actual evacuation was
clearly q rush over job.
The barrels OF big guns in the
fortress at the end Of the point have
been blasted OF short-these are
the guns which in the past month
hampered the movements Of our
naval units OF the coast. But in the
black damp cells beneath the gun
positions where their crews ate and
slept, the dirty dishes are on the
table and the double decker hunks
are Uttered with blankets and the
clothes with which the hastily de-
parting Germans could not be
bothered.
The German garrison appears to
have lived q gloomy life here but
q pretty comfortable one. Each
bunk Is equipped with springs. The
former italian fort has well ap-
pointed Kitchens and latrines. The
officers quarters are very different

were perfumed letters, pictures OF

The people Of Gaeta say the Ger

the waters edge have been cut
down and lie with their branches
toward the sea. This excellent nat
ural barricade has been laced
throughout with barbed wire and
the entire beach area was sown
with mines.
The American engineers are now
engaged in cleaning the streets
which the enemy blocked in several
places by simply blowing up the
houses by the roadside. At other
points they barricaded the streets
with furniture of a style Of the
French Revolution. The Italians say
they prepared these road blocks a
long time ago.

The brides gown was lowered marqui- sette with long train. She wore fingertip veil trimmed with lace and seed pearls and carried a bouquet of white carnations, white roses and calla lilies. The maid of honor's gown was green taffeta and net with matching shoulder veil and crown of flowers. She car ried an fashioned bouquet.

 T think that this idea can be adopted nationally. The frame of mind in which any man comes to work affects not only his safety, 'out his record of production"
 Continuing, MT. Hyde remarked, ''This may seem silly to some, but after seeing conditions and noting accidents, have come to the con- clusion that if wives will make it a point to send their men off to work happy and with warning to look out for danger, the acci- dent rate will decrease sharply.
 "Women should be informed of the hazards which accrue from non- observance of safety rules, both at home and on the job. On the job side, they should remind their men to wear goggles where required, to watch out for air hoses, to keep tools and equipment from travelled ways, to be consid crate of fellow workers and, fin ally, to turn in a good days work.

Will White Glass Lenses Protect You From Arc Flash?

If you work near electric arc welding operations, don't depend on ordinary glasses or goggles with white lenses to protect your eyes against "arc fash" White glass lenses provide a certain amount of protection against ultraviolet rays but not enough for complete safety and no useful protection against intense glare or against infra-red rays.
 Sufficient energy is generated at welding arc to drive an automo- bile. The heat developed is around 5000 degrees. Much of this energy takes the form of intense radiation of three types: ultraviolet rays Gnvisible), visible light rays and infra-red rays Gnvisible). All three types of rays, If the intensity is great enough, can cause injury to unprotected eyes.
 Avoid the painful sensation known as flashed eyes, Or "hot- sand -the-eyes" by wearing gog- gles with absorptive lenses. The protection that a lens gives from ultraviolet and infra-red rays de- pends on it's chemical content not its color. A goggle lens may be dark enough to shield your eyes from glare-and still let through ultraviolet and infra-red rays.
 Play safe. Don't chances with your eyes. If you work near arc welding operations, protect your eyes with goggles having scienti- fically compounded, absorptive lem ses.
