Elliott Roosevelt
Wants Lies Told
Only About Him
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 (UP)
. Brig. Gen. Elliott Roosevelt, son
of- the late president, wants his
critics to confine their attacks to
him instead of spreading "per
nicious lies" about his father,
"who can't talk back."
Young Roosevelt lashed out in
a statement in which he assumed
full responsibility for his mucli-
publicized business affairs, in
cluding several loans now being
investigated by congress and the
treasury.
He took cognizance of charges
his father had helped him nego
tiate the loans and described
those as part of the "hate cam
paign" being conducted against
the late president's memory.
tranklin D. Roosevelt never
Promoted or assisted my personal

statement that he did so is a de
liberate, infamous lie. I conduc
ted my own .business affairs. The
responsibility ifor-them was and
still is mine. 'and mine alone."

Civilians to Get
More Butter
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 (UP)
Civilians will get 10,000,000
pounds more butter during Au
gust as the result of a new cut in
government prchases it was dis
closed today, but there will be no
further reduction in butter's red
point value.

ton P. Anderson said manufac
turers will be required to set aside
for government purchase only 20
percent of their butter production
instead of the' originally sched
uled 30 percent. This was possible,
he said, because July production
was higher than expected, and it
