ploded, firemen fighting the blaze
escaped injury.
Army officers said they could not
estimate Immediately the extent Of
the damages but said it would run
into thousands of dollars. An Army
investigating board will meet soon
to determine whether the one-story
structure should pe renovated, it
was said. Meanwhile, preparations
were being made to hold the phar.
macy school in another building.
Cause OF the fire was not deter.
mined Immediately.
Onlcials expressed relief that the
fire had not spread to the dental
wing, where valuable dental ma
chimes are stored. These machines.
it was said, are irreplaceable now.
. The public relations office, located
in section of the north wing d.
rectly in front of the pathological
laboratory, was damaged by smoke
and streams of water. Mai. Warner
w. Hall, public relations officer, said

If Thomas E. Dewey is elected

she wants to pursue-not try simply
to initiate any of her predecessors
In the White House.
Il think people have to be them
selves" she said.
Newspaperwomen told the Presi-
dents wife Mrs. Dewey had stressed
the place Of woman in the home, and
asked whether bad effects might
result from reverting to this old idea
of the duties of the Presidents wife.
If that would be the thing the
woman in the White House wanted
to do" Mrs. Roosevelt retorted
she would be better of to do it.
just because you come to the White
House you don't have to do any
thing the way someone else did"
Urges Women on Peace Groups.
Continuing her own policy of ad-
vocating women taking part in ma
tional affairs, Mrs. Roosevelt said
she hoped women would be in
cluded in all the committees eventu-
ally set up under the Dumbarton
Oaks agreement.
What Is it you think women can
contribute that men cant?" a re-
porter asked. Mrs. Roosevelt laughed
replying she didn't like a question
put that way.
Women can make a joint con-
tribution," she explained. Men and
women were meant to work to-
gether."
The press conference arose and

Her views on the advantages OF
being so were given last April in
discussing women qualified to be
members of q United States peace
delegation. Mrs. Roosevelt said
I'm nearly 60. and it isn't any use
in any one that age planning fol
world peace. Younger people have
got to plan for it because they've
got to live in it,"
AT that age you don't have to
take on responsibility you don't fee
qualified for" she declared.
Asked at her press conference
today to return to the question OF
the contributions that can be made
by the Presidents wife, Mrs. Roose-
welt said that personally she has
no way of knowing whether she has
accomplished any good during her
residence in the White House. But
she has done what her conscience
told her to do, she said, then add
ed: II couldn't have done any
thing else"
Told that her own widespread
activities were being discussed and
criticized, Mrs. Roosevelt replied
This Is campaign" She does
not believe what is said during q

mote" from the life of the average
Government employee, Mr.. Jones
said, at some time or other all
of lis may be in need of the services
they provide"
He stressed the disqualification
funds, recreation services and child
care agencies as organizations which
particularly might benefit a Gov
eminent employee new in Washing
ton. A small gift. combined with
contributions from the million other
persons in Washington and vicinity,
Mr.. Jones continued, might some
day return to each employee with its
value increased a thousandfold.
Contributions already have been
