in his own defense as is the Gus

whether, it be murder, manslaught-
er, burglary or other charges.
It was learned that the reason
for the refusal of Candy to take
the stand was because of his past
criminal record, which he did not

Criticisms Of Russian Friends
Heb Us, SAYS Mrs. Roosevelt

The attacks of "our Russian
friends" on the workings Of democ-
racy are good for us, Mrs. Franklin
ID Roosevelt told members Of the
Women's National Press Club at a
luncheon meeting yesterday.
As the American delegate to the
United Nations, Mrs. Roosevelt ex-
planned the conflict of language
translations and social, religious and
political customs in the drafting of
the universal declaration Of human
rights at the recent Paris Assembly
session.
Asked if she felt she had made
any progress in getting along with
the Russians, she replied with a
brief mo"
Then she added: II feel I un-
derstand them little better. And
I don't believe that have lost their
respect, although I don't feel they
like me as well now as they did in
the beginning. There is no chance
of knowing any of them as individ-
uals. They are always government
Observation-Disclosures human beings
talking to other human beings"
Detailing the red tape involved
at each session of the Commission
of Human Rights Of the U. N, she
said the U. S. S. r. attacks many
of us-and sometimes with COM
plete correctness"
I'm one way this is good for us.
1t points out failures in our democ-
racy. It made us face ourselves.
It is hard to find bad in ones own
country.
But if the U. S. S. r. tells you
about everything that's wrong,
you're bound to know It,"
LAS long as we can ward off war, Z"
she said, "the fight between democ-
racy and communism will be fought
out as much here in our country as
anywhere in the world. They. watch
us so closely"
Mrs. Roosevelt, who was chairman
Of the Human Rights Commission,
pointed out the declaration was the
result of two and a half years of
work. Two months were devoted to
it at the Paris Assembly. She point
ed out that it is only the first part
of universal bill of human rights.
THE rest is to be DONE" she said.
whether it will be finished for the
next Assembly or held over another
year, do not know. I hope we'll be
prepared to accept and ratify it,"

such a document cannot be United
States product alone. She told how
one Latin American delegate de-
clared that it "smacks Of just being
an Anglo-Saxon document" Such
phrsseology as "All human beings
are born free and equal" contained
in the first section, is necessary, she
said, because the wordage "all men"
would not be adequate in countries
where women are not given equality.
The general articles l to 8 were
discussed one month and only three
words were changed, she said.
Sometimes there were 55 speeches
over one word. I'VE had trouble
over translations, particularly with
our U. s. S. r. friends" she said.
OF the eight who abstained in the
final voting on the declaration, six
were from the U. S. S. r. group,
she pointed out. The Russians, she
said, termed the covenant an 18th
century document"
A paradox to Russia's contention
that the document was not concise
or progressive enough was the Aus
tralian suggested enforcement of
the covenant through court Of
human rights. Mrs. Roosevelt said
that some feel the latter asks for
too much and might harm ratifica-
ton chances of the entire docu-
ment.
Emphasizing that public opinion
will determine whether or, not the
United States ratifles the covenant,
Mrs. Roosevelt said that individuals
and groups can make contribution
by educating the public on the
meaning of the declaration. If this
country, as the leading democracy,
fails to ratify it, she said, other
countries will,ask, why should we?"
Miss Dorothy Williams, club
president, presided at the luncheon,
which was held at the Statler Hotel.
Guests included the dean of the
diplomatic corps, the Ambassador
of Norway and Mrs. Munthe de
Morgenstierne; DR.. Alberto Lleras,
