Memory of FDR Still Inspires Writers of Songs and Letters ill Boy Flexible, Wire-Core PLASTIC CLOTHESLINE! 50 R. Wipes Clean with a damp cloth HUBBARD BROTHERS, Inc. Main at Riverside Phone 2-6189 Glendale, Cal. Apr. 13 U.R) Five years after his death. Franklin Roosevelt, more than any other president, still inspires sentimental songs from his fans and bitter denunciations from his enemies. The nation's chief Roosevelt collector said today he still gets pamphlets from groups denounc ing Mr. Roosevelt as a war monger. Hymns Commemorate And admirers still commemor ate mm wiui nymns containing such sentiments as "thou gavest us Franklin Roosevelt, peace lover and great president." There are more people collect ing momentoes like these of Mr. Roosevelt than for any other American except Lincoln, John Valentine said. And there's more material to be collected. Valentine is secretary of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Collectors' association and editor of its semi annual bulletin. The group is holding its first New York con vention May 3 at Columbia uni versity. "The number of people al ready collecting Rnosevcltiana proves how high a place he will hold In history," Valentine said. "We even collect the anti-FDR stuff we know how silly it will sound in 50 years." Writings Included Valentine's collection, which he thinks is the largest outside Hyde Park, includes writings by Mr. Roosevelt, writings about him, letters, cartoons, pamphlets pro and con, campaign posters dating back to 11)20. 3.500 cam paign bullous, mustache cups, plalcs, 'hnls, auto siiekers. rec ords, songs nnri a pig labeled "I would die for Roosevelt." "Two historians have been here already for material," he said. "Fifty vears from now this will be priceless." Valentine, a retired rare book dealer from Chicago, gave up Port Eugene Field in 1032 to collect Hoosevelt. Now his 10,-1 000 items are stacked high in a basement room of his Hillside home. Drawings and pictures of FDR line the walls above them. Many Copyrighted Songs The association put out a biblography on listing 1.000 books by or about the late pres ident, tour hundred more are in foreign languages. There are 300-plus coprighted songs, most of greater sentimental than musi cal interest. "The New Deal rose with Roosevelt, hurray, ho's sure marie good," one proclaims. 'Let's all dance to the Roosevelt Glide," says another. "You're going to sway, it gets you that way." A pre-war leftist put out the anti-Roosevelt song, "I hate war, and so docs Eleanor. But we won't be safe 'till everybody's dead." Officers of the collectors in clude Donald S. Carmichael, Cleveland attorney, president, and Sen. Clinton P.. Anderson, New Mexico, a director.

ROMM MEAL W Portland, Apr. 13 National forest timber sales in the Pacific northwest region in 1949 show ed a alight drop in cut, and material reduction in stumpage prices, in comparison to 1848, according to H. J, Andrews, re gional forester. Oregon maintained its lead as a timber producer last year with a national forest cut of 866 mil lion board feet, he reported. The Washington cut was 500 million. Timber sale revenue for the re gion was about $12 million. Pricat Follow Trend Stumpage prices in the forests involved followed market trends closely, Andrews stated. Aver age price paid was $8.52 per thousand feet last year compared to $13.90 in 1948. Recent business trends indi cate increased interest in na tional forest stumpage for 1950. he reported. Andrews pointed to a critical need for roads to move the timber to market. He said the forest service is con structing access roads as rapidly as funds permit but that demand for timber exceeds the roads pro gram. The immediate solution, Andrews maintained, is for tim ber sale operators to build as many roads as they can. The most winding street in the world is one block of San Fran cisco's Lombard street, with eight twists and turns between intersections. Liquor taxes and fees yielded $2,714,992 in Nebraska during the year ending Nov. 30, 1949. Two Grinds: TndtmHht Rit U.S. Pit Off. CwrriWt I9M-Hills Broi CollM. Inc.
