Perforated"
Emphasizing the destruction of
total war, Mrs. Roosevelt spoke of
the German cities.
Berlin is fiat" she said. Prank
furt is the same and Dresden is
worse. This is what happens to
cities in war. Don't let people say
If there is another war Another
war, and it will be this city"
The speaker spoke of the necessity
OF increased production in the
United States to help in the re-
Mobilization of the world.
"The people here have no idea
what production means to the rest
Of the world" she said. "They think
OF it here as domestic problem
it isn't a domestic problem, but a
question of world rehabilitation.
Food may be obtained from other
countries-South America, for ex-
ample-but machines for the re-
building of Europe can be obtained
here alone. Without these things,
Europe cannot come back, and if
Europe does not come back, in a
few years we'll have another de-
preston. We must have places to
sell our goods"
Mrs. Frances Perkins. former Sec
retary of Labor, and Miss Malvina
Thompson, secretary to Mrs. Roose-

the speakers table Others included
members of the club who attended

1t. Col. Stuart Hughes, now with
the State Department, told of some
of his interesting experiences in
Europe. He said he was now on
the way out of the Army. Talk

attractive in plaid dresses. Miss
Suzanne Rosenberg dropped in on
her way to a dinner party.
Maj. Rod O'Connor, a White
House aide, talked with Miss Jane
Wyatt, Mrs. C. Stanford Gunther
and Col. Austin Bonis, who is also
a White House aide. Others glimpsed
in the drawing room were Mr.. anu

Claim Made Senate inves. tiqafors Refused 0ffit-
 iaI Files on Issue

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4-Chairman Mead (D-NY) declares that Adm Ernest J. King had refused the Senate War Investigating commit tee access to the files of the joint chiefs of staff in connection with the controversial Canol Project.
 In a statement issued through committee offices here, Mead said King, wartime chief of Naval Oper- ations, had refused a request by Harry s. Truman, then chairman Of of the committee, to open the files.
 King took the position in letter to MT. Truman Dec 16, 1943, Mead said, that the national security might be endangered" by commit tee efforts to determine why the joint chiefs of staff had ordered the completion of the Canol oil pro- ject in Canada.
 In order to clear the matter up Mead said he will ask the commit tee to ''extend an invitation to Ad- miral King to appear in a public hearing at the earliest possible date
 In it's fifth annual report Sat urday the committee asserted King had differed from the official posi- tion of the Navy and used the high office of the joint chiefs of staff and the claim of military secrecy for the purpose of preventing the Congress and the people from re- quiring the discontinuance of a costly blunder by by fellow off
 King retorted in a statement Sunday that this contention con stituted "a wilful distortion of tht facts"
 In his statement King said it hac been made clear to the investigat' ing committee and chairman tha in signing certain papers he did SC mot for myself, but for the join chiefs of staff as group.
