 The President also discussed Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, China, excise taxes, a loan to Mexico and other matters.
 Concerning Mrs. Roosevelt, a reporter asked whether it is true that she has offered to resign as a member of the U. s. delegation to the United Nations because of a difference with Francis Cardinal Spellman over federal aid to edu- cation.
 MT. Truman replied that Mrs. Roosevelt offered to resign - as she does every year-just to give him free hand to appoint anyone he wants.
 But he said she's going back to the United Nations in her same job.
 The President said Mrs. Roose- welt expressed no reason for her offer. He said he thought it was only her customary politeneSs, and noted that she made her annual offer at the usual time.
 The President announced that the state department is publishing volume on United States rela- tions with China. Particularly dur ing the last five years.
 He said his main purpose Tn asking the secretary of state to publish this record at this time IS to insure that our Far Eastern pol icy shall be based on informed and intelligent public opinion.
 He said the role of this govern ment in it's relations with China has been subject to considerable misrepresentation, distortion and misunderstanding.
 When a reporter asked If MT. Truman sees any improvement Tn the economic situation, he grinned and said that all he knows is what he reads in the papers. He added that even the Wall Street Journal says there has been an improve ment.
 What about the possible repeal of wartime excise taxes lon things like transportation fares, luggage, iewelry and theatre admissions)? The President replied this sub feet will require a great deal of re- search by experts and it will be at least the next session of Congress before anything will be done about them.
 A reporter asked if it is true that a loan to Mexico has been re- fused because of a Mexican refus- al to pay certain past claims. MT. Truman said the United States has not refused to make loan to Mexico, that it is still under con- sideration, and that he is hopeful it will be worked out.

| that through delay in marketing
food loses much of its nutritional
value, as does keeping food in the
kitchen instead of in the refrigera-

AS some of the valuable food ele-

food to growing children-now sup
ply school lunches outlined by food
experts
In addition to keeping the child
robust physically, it has been found
that where these especially pre-
scribed school lunches are eaten
regularly, the children are more in
terested in their lessons, are bet

AS boys at school, we thought
that domestic science as taught
to the girls, was just play hour.
We have only to think of the school

Answer: Only for the moment,
though there are times when it
may be necessary. For at bottom,
grownups react much like chill
dren. If you scare a child into
behaving, he will disobey you just
as soon as he thinks he can get
away with doing so. whereas if he
knows that he can count on your
approval when he's good, he'll do
almost anything to please you.
Unless he is "soured," the fellow
who knows you can tell good serv-
ice from bad will usually work his
hardest for you because he also is
aware that you will give him crit
ical appreciation for a good job.

Stream Fishinq

Whether or not the streams you

highly-aerated waters during hot
weather-and it is in such waters
that the angler should exercise his
best skill and efforts if he expects
to creel any fish.
1t has been the experience OF
practically every veteran angler
that the best midsummer catches
of bass are taken from eddy waters
around rocks, logs. root-wads and
along stream edges where plants
and roots combine to provide cover
and accessible food. Undoubtedly
bass frequent such places for a
combination of both food and the
