He said he considered 94 or 95 per cent pretty darned good and added that it would be im possible to reach 100 per cent befofc the end of the year becaun of all kinds of causes, little Bid big, the majority un prevemable. - He said he was going to ask for a great deal more in the next few months, indicating that the goals would be set higher than they were last Jan uary. , Good Moral ' 'At that time he called for 60,000 planes in 1942 and 125, 000 in 1943, 45,000 tanks this year and 85,000 next, 20,000 anti-aircraft guns in 1942 and 35,000 next year, 8,000,000 tons of shipping this year and 10,' 000,000 in 1943. The shipping totals later were boosted. Mr. Roosevelt said he found the finest kind of morale among the people a willingness to sacrifice and to accept any necessary war measures. He described the war spirit of the country as whole as very much alive except in the nation's capital. . Contending that the war spirit here was far less than in the rest of America, the president spread the blame Tor this con ditlon among portions of con' cress, the press and radio, and administration officials. Accused Minority Seeking to Justify their serv ice to the war effort, he said, numerous legislators pry into .'.matters better left to military .; experts who know more about .them. . History shows, he re marked somewhat resignedly, that congressmen have been do ing this since the Revolutionary war. He accused a minority of the press and radio, chiefly com mentators and columnists, of disseminating reports not based on fact and telling the people ; things that don't exist. This ' minority, Tie said, seems to be unfamiliar with the country, just as are some congressmen. . and it thinks in local terms and ' distributes sententious news. Mr. Roosevelt declined to mention any names. . The kind of spirit needed In Washington, he said, was that . which he learned about in some of the agricultural areas. As he traveled along, he said, he had heard how the local bank ers, druggists, newspaper edi tors and children were going out into the fields and getting in the crops to help farmers unable to obtain labor. In the war factories them selves he noted what he termed amazing numbers of women workers plying skilled trades. Plant managers informed him, he said, that in another year proDamy nan tne workers would be women.

The conferees agreed that, where the president found it necessary to prevent an increase in the cost of feed for livestock and poultry,, he could fix the loan rate on crops used for such feed at a point between 85 and 90 per cent. This largely would affect corn and wheat. The conferees agreed to' autlv orize the crop loans for' a period of two years after the end of the war. The house had voted to extend them for three years after hostilities ended, while the senate had approved the loans only, for the war period. The committee also altered an amendment offered by Senator Norris (Ind.-Neb.) and adopted by the senate, which would have permitted President Roosevelt to prevent any increases In utility or common carrier rates ever September 19 levels. Instead, the committee wrote into the bill a provision requir ing utilities and common car riers which desired general rate increases to give 30 days notice to the president of such an im pending request and to agree to the appearance of the price ad ministrator as a witness for con sumers at any rate hearing that might be held.

"TTHIS writer thinks it was not only all right for the Prest dent to take a jaunt around the country but an excellent idea, The poisonous atmosphere of Washington would WARP any body. The President ought to get away from It oftener. Even the secrecy with which it was carried out is probably all right in war time. Otherwise it would have been whoop and hurrah and hullaballoo from be ginning to end, with no time for serious observation of the state of the country. War is no time for whoop and hurrah and three- ring circus tours. ' TTHE idea that all this secrecy 1 kept news of the President's trip from enemy - agents and potential saboteurs is - naive tommyrot. Anyone but a dumb bell could have - guessed the Presldent'r presence' wherever he went from the elaborate pre cautions taken. Enemy agents and saboteurs aren't dumbbells. THIS much must be said for the maligned press: It did its loyal p&rt to guard the sup posed secret. Spend your time with your hands in your pockets and there's seldom anything else there.
