Cancellation of reside n
Roosevelt's usual Friday morning
news conference today delayed

No reason was given for calling off
the conference, but the President
and Mrs. Roosevelt are currently
hosts to the Earl of Athlone, Gov
ernor General of Canada, and his
wife, Princess Alice.
At last Tuesdays meeting with
newsmen, Mr.. Roosevelt said he
probably would have something to
say today about the food shortages
that have stirred up congressional
Investigations.

than to issue Z statement, and will
do so at the first opportunity. The

ference Is Tuesday afternoon.

attempt to regulate prices has
failed. He's an advertising man
who knows nothing about produc-

Representative Slaughter, Demo-
crat, of Missouri promptly took issue
with the Nebraskan, asserting:

cize the administration when it was
due, but Chester Bowles has done
an outstanding job. He took over
