The former head of the US 8teel corpora tion, who entered, the defense setup as a $l-a-year man, will henceforth receive the salary of a special assistant to the presi dent In response to a question, Mr. Roosevelt said It was unfair to say that the progress of the lend- lease program had been disap pointing, because most of the items involved cannot be purch ased from the shelves of depart ment stores, but must be manu factured. He declined to comment on whether the Red sea was Included in the American defense zone and was silent likewise on proposals for arming merchant ships and for amending the neutrality law.
