Br John w. Kelly
Washington, D. C, Nov. 29
In the executive office last Fri
day Harold Ickes, secretary of
the interior, sat down with
President Roosevelt and shared
the latter'i lunch, which was
rolled In on a tray, piping hot.
Between bites the two discussed
something very important to the
people of the Pacific northwest
the appointment of an admin
istrator for all of the power
generated by the government
projects at Grand Coulee and
Bonneville. It was, they believed
a compromise which would meet
with approval of the various
factions in Washington, Oregon
and Idaho who are at logger
heads; appease the advocates of
"home rule" as well as the free-power-for-nothing
group.
As Secretary Ickes walked In
for his lunch and conference,
Oregon's Senator McNary walk
ed out with a commission from
the president to see Washing
ton's Senator Bone and learn
whether the compromise would
be satisfactory to that legislator.
The Washington legislator, who
lias m power nuinoruy qui oi nis
own, left Walter Reed, hospital
last week and as soon as able
will return to his office on the
floor of the senate. The Bone bill
wants no part of Ickes in the
power policy of the northwest;
opposes any direction of the
government-owned plants in the
Columbia river from the nation

Belated Thanksgiving Din
ner Occasion To Review
Nation's Danger.
Warm Springs, Ga., Nov. 29.
(IP) President Roosevelt said to
night it was always possible that
"our boys in the military and
naval academies may be fighting
for the defense of American in
stitutions" by next Thanksgiv
ing. Then he conferred with
Secretary Hull by telephone, and
considered rushing back to
Washington because of the latest
turn in the Japanese situation.
Mr. Roosevelt made his omin
ous statement about the possi
bility of fighting at a dinner at
the Warm Springs Foundation
for Infantile paralysis victims.
Returning to the "little white
house" on Pine mountain, he
found a call from Hull awaiting
him, and reached the opinion
that he might have to leave here
tomorrow afternoon, and arrive
in Washington Monday morn
ing, In view of a statement by
Japanese Premier Hideki Tojo.
He spoke of people in other
lands overrun or attacked and
those even in countries which
are attacking. Then he added
solemnly: "I think we can offer
up a little silent prayer that
these people will be able to hold
next year a thanksgiving more
like an American thanksgiving.
That la something to dream
about, perhaps."
"In days like these, our
thanksgiving next year may re
mind us of a peaceful past; it is
always possible that our boys in
the military and naval acade
mies may be fighting for the de
fense of these American institu
tions of ours."
The president, who twice post
poned trips to Warm Springs,
where he had planned to observe
Thanksgiving, said he could not
help thinking of those things
and the dangers overhanging
the country while he was in
Washington contemplating his
Journey a week and a half ago.
And he said he might have to go
back tomorrow or the next day,
but he did not know.
Whimsically, the chief execu
tive noted that he had been un
able to be present here either
on the Thanksgiving date he pro
claimed or on the traditional
date a week later. Tonight's
dinner was something of a
"third Thanksgiving dinner" for
him.
And, he said, this was a year
for thanksgiving especially be
cause the people in the Warm
Springs dining room, in the com
munity, the state and the United
States were in a very unique
position today.' The United
States Is one of the largest na
tions In the world, Mr. Roose
velt remarked, and nearly all
the other large nations are in
volved in a war of some kind or
normal lives within them are al
most completely blotted out or
controlled by dictator.
Leading up to his remark
that men from the military and
naval academies might be fight
ing for defense in a year, the
president said he had . listened
to broadcasts of two football
games this afternoon, between
Georgia and Georgia Tech at At
lanta and the Army and Navy at
Philadelphia.
They were great games, run
in the spirit of peace," he said.
"And the right kind of national
spirit of peace is necessary for
the right conduct of either the
Georgia .game or the Army-Navy
game. How many other coun
tries in the world could have
things like that going on?"

STRONGER PRICE
CONTROL ACT IS
House Bill Called 'Toothless
And Timorous' Move To
Include Wages.
Washington, Nor. 29. (IP)
Senator McNary (R., Ore.) call
ed the 'administration's price
control bill "toothless and tim
orous" today as indications
multiplied that bi-partisan ef
forts would be made in the
senate to rewrite the much
amended measure passed by
the house yesterday.
Joining with McNary, the
minority leader, in criticism of
the bill. Senator George (D.,
Ga.) said that if there was to
be effective control of prices
the senate would have to write
a much more drastic measure
than that approved by the
house. '
"I am afraid the measure
passed by the house is toothless
and timorous," McNary contin
ued. "I am certain no price fix
ing bill will be effective until
we remove flagrant waste in
defense exDendltures, decrease
non-defense expenditures and
Improve the pattern of our de
fense and domestic program..
'. "The senate Is charged with
the duty of passing more ef
fective measure, one at least
that has some practical means
of enforcement and that has re
gard for the neglected and often
forgotten eonsumer."
McNary Indicated his objec
tions to the measure centered
on the elimination by the house
of proposed licensing provisions
by which price orders would be
enforced. However, senator
Taft (R., Ohio) said he was glad
to see that the house had not
given the price administrator
power to take away summar
ily the right of a merchant to
do business because he might
have violated price order.
The house approved measure
provided no control over wages,
but Senator George said it was
his belief that all factors of cost.
Including wages, . ought to be
taken into consideration in any
price fixing orders that were
issued.
PEOPLE BACK OF
FOREIGN POLICY
Washington, Nov. 29. W
Alertly waiting for Tokyo's
next move In the acute Japano
Amerlcan crisis, President
Roosevelt warned other nations
today that America Is united
behind his foreign policy of op
position to aggression anywhere
on earth.
"That there Is debate, or that
there are statements of con
flicting opinion prior to the de
cisions should not be taken by
persons abroad as an Indica
tion of lack of cohesion among
our people, though that mistake
Is sometimes made," he said.
"While there have been expres
sions of different views In re
gard to our foreign policy, ti
have always felt that those dif
ferences, were of degree but not
of principle.
The president made these
statements In letter to Sen
ator Gillette (D., Iowa). The
senator has consistently opposed
the Roosevelt foreign policy and
voted against the legislative
measures designed to imple
ment it. Recently, however, he
wrote to Mr. Roosevelt saying
that the majority had spoken
end offering his "support and
services" In carrying out the
policy which the majority bad
i laid down. .
