' r WASHINGTON, Jan. 7 - () Congressmen of widely direr rent Tie w s Senator Wheeler (D-Mont.) and Senator Austin (R-Vt), Kep. Fish (R-NY) and " Rep." Clare Booths Loco (R Conn.) all found something to - commend In President Roose velt's ; message Thursday. On I foreign affairs, Senator i Austin called it "A fine, strong speech, well calculated to unite 1: the people in the winning of . the war and establish the foun dations ef a a o n d peace." Wheeler commented that "It was I very clever speech. It deslt entirely with generalities ' with which every right thinking person could agree,' Mrs. Luce, saying that "With many of the noble generalities of the presidents speech everyone! must agree, expressed principal interest in the "most surprising statement" that more lend-lease material now is being flown Into China than traversed the Burma road.'.;, ; ;It means either that we have put. 'many , more, transport planes Into India for the China hop," aha explained, "or there was much less going In over the Burma road than we knew. , Fish commented that The speech was a fine presentation of the activities of our armed forces and the productive capacity of America. Everyone, regardless of party, will endeavor to help win -the war , and seek lasting peace. - But the congress will have to wait for more, details regarding free dom from fear and want"- ' Representative Ellsworth (st ore.) : The president showed aa admirable attitude and I was greatly pleased with his tone.

Cheers and the "rebel yells" of southern "mem bers mingled with a tumult' o: hand-clapping. Meanwhile, the president was making, his .way, to the rostrum, on the arm of his military aide, , Ma J. Gen. Edwin M. Wafson. He smiled a greeting to Vice President : Wallace and Speaker Rayburn and prepared, to speak. His naval aide, Capt. John L. McCrea, placed his manuscript -- typewritten and. bound -In-a black loose-leaf notebook before him. Mr. Roosevelt removed his pince-nez glasses : and placed them on the desk before him, un der the semi -circle of eight mi crophones. He waited for the din to subside and ; then began. He spoke guietly througout, quietly and . swiftly. Only occa sionally did he raise his voice to emphasise his points. Character istically, his head bobbed up and down with the rythm of his words. He began with a review of 1942. "The axis powers knew that they mast win the war la 1942 - -or eventually . lose every thing." he said. I do not need to ten yea that ear enemies did did not win the war in 1942." He praised the : Russians for their defense of Stalingrad and their present offensives. In the Pacific the battle of Midway was the most important victory, he said, for it secured to the United Nations communication lines stretching far in every direction.'' ': "The period of our defensive attrition In the Pacific is pass ing." he said. "Now our aim is to force the Japanese to fight. Last year we stopped them. This year we advance and fight The ultimate outcome, he said, is a mathematical; certainty "that will become evident to the Japanese people themselves when we strike at their home islands, and bomb them constantly from the air." In these attacks, he as serted, we shall be "closely join- ed with the heroic people of China." Even today, he added to the amazement of many, more material is being delivered in China by airplane than ever was carried over the famous Burma Road. In the European theatre, the effort Is to lessen the pressure on Russia, he said, through the succesful invasion of north Africa. This, ho added, has opened what Winston Churchill called "the un- der-belly of the axis" to attack. and remove . any danger of an axis Invasion, of South America. He said "great rains and appall ing mud" have delayed the "final battles for Tunisia and the axis ia reinforcing its positions there. But he expressed confidence that "though" the fighting will be tough tne last vestige or axis power will : be . driven from the south shores of the Mediterranean.'' A reference to Winston Chnre hin drev a- load cheer, the name of Joseph Stalin brought aa even mightier one, and the loudest of all came with the mention of : the name of Gen eralissimo Chiang Kai-Shek ef China. "I cannot prophesy," the pre sident' said. ; "I cannot tell you when or where the United Nations are going to strike next in Europe. But we are going to strike and strike hard, more more more "I cannot tell you whether we are going to hit them in Norway, or through the low countries, or in France, or through Sardinia or Sidly, or through the Balkans, or through Poland or at several points simultaneously. But I can teU you that no matter where and when we strike by land, we and the British and the Russians will hit. them from the air heavily and relentlessly. Day in and day out we shall heap tons upon tons of explosives on their war factories and utilities and seaports. Hitler and Mussolini will un derstand the enormity of their miscalculations that the axis would always have the advantage of superior air-power as they did when they boxed Warsaw, Rot terdam, London and Coventry. That superiority has gone for ever. "Tea the naxls and the fas cists has asked for It and they are going to get It." He went on to talk of Produc tion. ' . ' , '3 Numerically, he said, tank and plane production fell short of the 1942 goals, and yet 48,000 military planes were turned out, more than the aircraft production of all the axis countries together. In December, he added, plane i IsS&ri CIDlBmil)! :n5 CONTINUOUS SATURDAY v l to 11:45 P.:M; ;l ' - - - - - : ' r- -lMfrnggy,c, rou octrr know what acttom ) ttU:m 1 kjaks T& rotrvf t r j ARABIA! : ttAVitil 1 J , Also - News, Cartoon and Serial Tfca wmmmm - ...... . . .... ... a . . .... .- -. , - - I " . - v. ;, . . . , J production was at a rate of 5500 monthly and "rapidly rising." "Morever, he pointed out, as time goes on the "averages of our types weigh more, take more man-hours to make, and have more striking power.; Tank schedules were 're vised as the result of battle ex periences and a i portion of the tank-production capacity diverted to , making "new,- deadly field weapons, especially self propelled artillery." ' r He gave these 1942 production figures: , Combat,, vehicles 56,000. ' Machine guns470,000.' Anti-tank guns 21,000, " Small arms ammunitions 10,- 250,000,000 rounds. Artillery ammunition 181,000,' 000 rounds, .- t "These facts and figures,": he added grimly, "Will give no aid and comfort to the enemy! -, There bad been criticism of the production effort, he said some of It "based on j work and even on malieions fal sification of fact" bat en the whole the criticism had "sparred ns on" and ."reflected a' normal American impatience to get on with the Job Inconveniences and disturbances and "even hardships' were a nec essary part of the war effort, he said, and he predicted that 1943 would "not be an easy year for us on the home front." The American people, he added, will "feel in many ways in our daily lives the sham pinch of war." He asknowledged that mistakes had been made on the home front. There had been "too many com plicated questionnaires," he said, aereeinc with a group of sena tors which has been conducting an investigation ot this aspect of war-time regulation. But, he added, the solution of war-time nroblems reauires the assembling of much information and the questionnaires have "rep resented an honest, sincere at tempt" to obtain it. He went on to discuss post war plans, saying that first of all: "We of the United Nations want a decent peace and a durable peace. ... It would be saerilerions if this nation and the world did not attain some real lasting good out of aU these efforts , and sufferings bloodshed and death. "The men in our armed forces want a lasting peace and, equally, tBey want permanent employment for .themselves, their families and their neighbors when they are mustered out4 at the end of the war" They wjU, he added, have right to expect such employment. Then followed bis refernce to so cial security: "When you talk with our young men and women you will find that with the opportunity for em ployment they want assurance against the evils of ail major eco nomic hazards assurance that will extend from the cradle to the grave. This great government can and must provide this surance. "I have been told that this is no time to speak of a better America after the war. I am told it is a grave error on my part. "I dissent. "If the security of the indi vidual citizen, or the family, should become a subject of na tional debate, the country knows where I stand. "I say this now to this 78th congress, because u is wnouy possible that freedom from want the right of employment and the right of. assurance against life's hazards will loom very large as a task of America during the coming two years. "I trust it will not be regard ed as aa issue bat rather aa a task for aU of as to stady sympathetleaUy, to work eat with a constant regard for the attainment ef the objective, with fairness to all and with injustice to none." But economic security, freedom from want and fear, cannot be at tained unless there is assurance of lasting peace, he argued. "It is clear to us," he said, "that if Germany and Italy and Japan or any one of them remained armed at the end of this war, or are permitted to rearm, they will again, and inevitably, embark upon an ambitious career of world conquest. They must, be disarmed and kept disarmed, and they must abandon the philos ophy, and the teaching of that philosophy, which has brought so much suffering to the world.

This column also was getting into more or less open country where the terrain is not so adaptable to defense. "After the Sal there is only one main river to be crossed, the Manych, before the Russians can strike at the rail way leading Into Rostov. Behind this column in the Sal valley the towns of Marrynovka and Romanovskaya were listed by Reuters as having fallen.
