U.S. lumber production has
fallen off to the extent of about
36.000,000 feet per week, and is
unable to cope with the tre
mendous demands being made
by Pacific forces, he said.
(At the present time 15 per
cent of British Columbia lumber
production Is earmarked for
shipment to the U.S. No sug
gestion was made by the pro
curement group that this quota
be raised at least not immedi
ately. Their chief concern Is
that exports to the United States
be confined to military require
ments, instead of being shipped
for civilian consumption.)

1939. Roosevelt could not be
reached for comment.
Pegler's account "is not the
whole story but it is substantial
ly correct," Hartford said, add
ing "I would not have made It
public myself and I regret very
much that it has been publish
ed." Ewing said in Danville, III.,
the debt was settled three years
later "at the request of the
Roosevelt family" through the
then secretary of commerce.
Jesse Jones.
Ewing said Elliott Roosevelt,
then 29, secured the loan to fi
nance his Texas radio Interests.
"They were losing money hand
over fist," Ewing added.
He said that in 1942 Jonej
told him the Roosevelt family
wanted to compromise the debt
and he took young Roosevelt's
note and stock collateral to
Jones who "gave me a check
payable to John Hartford for
$4000 which was all Hartford
ever received on the loan and
the whole thing was closed."
"The loan," Ewing said, "was
written off by Mr. Hartford in
his 1942 income tax report as a
bad debt."
Pegler said the A. & P. head
at first was reluctant to make
the loan on the basis it might
embarrass President Roosevelt.
"Elliott immediately tele
phoned to President Roosevelt,"
Pegler said, "and the president
spoke cordially to Mr. Hartford
. , . . and thanked him for this
favor to his son. He also invited
Mr. Hartford to call on him."
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt could
not be reached for comment.

(The Army and Navy Jour
nal, unofficial service publica
tion, said last week it had heard
reports that General George C.
Marshall felt that the war had
progressed to a point where it
might be possible for him to re
tire. The Journal mentioned
the possibility, In this event,
that Eisenhower might be called
upon to take over Marshall's
post as chief of staff. Lauding
the services of both men, the
publication urged tjjat Marshall
abandon any thought of retlra
ment at this time.)
Frisbie Talks on
Discharged Yets
With ships on the seven seas
this nation must become world
minded with the next ten years
the most crucial In history,
Commander Charles J. Frisbie,
USNR, director of civil read
justment for the 13th naval dis
trict with headquarters in Seat
tle, told the Kiwanii club
Tuesday noon.
The navy has completed Its
program for taking care of its
discharged veterans, he said,
with rehabilitation applying to
the physical and readjustment
to the mental. Commander Fris
bie was much opposed to the
numerous civilian groups set up
to guide and direct the dis
charged veterans. He likened
these to a forest with H becom

the right tree.
Both state measures and the
local one for the purchase of
Bush pasture on the ballot for
the special election June 22
