A group of farm leaders went to the White House to urge Roosevelt to support the Jones bill, which would cut Interest rates on government farm loans. And while they got the President's support, sup-port, they also got an earful on another an-other subject why the U. S. will not get involved in the European war. The discussion began When one of the farmers asked Roosevelt whether wheth-er propaganda and the loss of foreign for-eign markets would affect U. S. neutrality. This brought an emphatic em-phatic negative from the Fresiaent "I don't think the American people will lose their heads to the extent of being drawn into the European conflict," he said in ef fect. "It Is true that the emotions of people can be quickly aroused, but reason and logic always triumph in the end. That's why our demo cratic form of government has survived sur-vived so long. "Take, for example, the arms em bargo fight There was a lot of talk from certain elements during that controversy, that if we lifted the embargo it would drag us into the war. Well, all that talk has died down and you don't hear it any more. There was no truth in it and it evaporated. "The same happened during the debate over extending the recipro cal trade treaties. There was a lot of unfounded talk then, but it has all blown over unless political op portunists inject the issue into this year's campaign." "What about the Nazi invasion of Denmark and Norway?" asked another an-other of the farm visitors. "Will that endanger our neutrality?" Again Roosevelt shook his head. "As long," he replied, "as we keep a level head, our feet on the ground and maintain a liberal government, we have nothing to worry about" Bombing Bill White. President Roosevelt scored a neat one on his old friend William Allen White, the sage of Emporia, Kan., during his off-the-record session ses-sion with the newspaper editors edi-tors recently at the White House. Incidentally, the remark was a clue to what Roosevelt thinks is the chief danger dan-ger to the United States Nazi forces in Latin William Allen White America. The President was talking about the war and the question of national defense, especially as it applied to the Western hemisphere. To illustrate his point he turned suddenly sud-denly to Mr. White, who was sitting in the group before him. "For instance, Bill White may think he's a lot safer in Kansas than I am up in Hyde Park, N. Y.," said the President "but he isn't" He went on to explain that if enemy bombers were to seek out Hyde Park they would have a long way to fly across the Atlantic. But if they wanted to bomb Bill White in Kansas, it was relatively easy for them to fly up from Mexico where enemy air bases could be established. Under the Dome. One of the most inspiring sights in our democratic government is to see the President of the United States address a joint session of congress. These gatherings include not only the President and members mem-bers of the house and senate, but also cabinet members, Supreme court justices, foreign diplomats, members of the President's family, plus social and political leaders-all leaders-all seated in the house of representatives. represen-tatives. But some members of congress heave a sigh of relief when these sessions are adjourned. What they know, though others do not I that the roof covering the house chamber cham-ber is in danger of caving in some day and wiping out the nation's political leaders. Furthermore, the roof of the senate sen-ate chamber is supported by similar simi-lar materials, and architects have recommended that it be replaced. Serious-minded Horace D. Rouzer, assistant architect of the Capitol, solemnly warned members of the senate appropriations committee recently re-cently that "jn some instances the pins should not be stressed over 12,000 pounds, but computations show stresses up to around 75,000 pounds per square inch." He was referring to the roof on the senate side of the Capitol. MERRY-GO-ROUXD Members of the German embassy, embas-sy, apparently none too enthusiastic over Hitler's treatment of private property, are buying up quantities of silver plate at U. S. jewelry stores. This is one investment they can keep with less danger of Nazi confiscation . . . One member of the German embassy staff confided at dinner the other night that he was worried over Germany'! loss of ships, because now perhaps Hitler Hit-ler wouldn't have enough ships to land troops in England. Kathleen Norris Says; When Wife Is Man of the Family... (Bell Syndicate get out to the farm Saturday at noon, to receive a warmly affectionate welcome, but no comprehension on the part of Rex and the children of the burden I cany. By KATHLEEN NORRIS THE situation in the Brown family is one that could not have existed a hundred years ago. It is a problem born of our modern civilization, and one that many a wife and husband will have to solve if social and marital adjustments are to be made successfully, and unnecessary un-necessary divorces avoided. Ann Brown is 36, tall, energetic, ener-getic, radiating health and high spirits, and equal to every demand life has made upon her. Her husband, Rex, is a milder type, and has never been particularly particu-larly fond of business of any sort or capable of holding anything but a routine office job. Life Moves East. For four years before she married, mar-ried, Ann taught in an aristocratic private school. Then, before marriage, mar-riage, she entered a woman's college col-lege as a junior, and graduated with honors in eighteen months. In the three years after her marriage she bad a son and twin daughters and managed them magnificently. Upon Rex's small salary Ann purchased pur-chased a large country house with seven acres of orchard and garden, and had paid for the place when Rex lost his job seven years , ago. She immediately opened a girls' concentration concen-tration school, taking four boarders and enrolling a class of eleven. This paid well, for many of the pupils were difficult or arrested cases, and Ann's teaching experience had been largely with children of this type. Three years ago she was offered a position in state work at $300 a month. Her children were safe in the hands of their father and a fine old colored servant and Ann was free to go to the capital and embark em-bark upon work that fascinated her. A radio contract now pays her an extra $50 a week. Here i3 a part of her letter explaining the problem she has to meet in making a sound adjustment for herself and her family. Rex's Life Happy. "Rex lives happily upon our little farm," writes Ann. "He adores the children, and he and Lenny, the housekeeper, and certain friendly neighbors live a community life that more than satisfies him. I send him $200 a month, and he saves on it raising garden vegetables on the farm and selling apple and walnut crops. We have two cows, but Rex doesn't get up to milk them; he trades milk for a farmer's services. Rex sleeps, and eats, and laughs, and loafs about and says he is the happiest man in the world. "Meanwhile I keep office hours, interview scores of persons every day, carry a heavy responsibility, in the decisions I have to make and the treatment I have to recommend, hold innumerable distressing meetings meet-ings with parents, prepare my 15-minute 15-minute radio address every week, handle hundreds of letters, and live alone in a small apartment I get out to the farm Saturday at noon, to receive a warmly affectionate welcome, but no more comprehension, comprehen-sion, on the part of Rex or the chU-dren, chU-dren, of the burden that I carry than if they were so many birds. Offer Rejected. "Some months ago Rex had a really real-ly good offer to go into the real-estate real-estate business with a man who would put up all the capital, and expect Rex to contribute only his personality, which is very pleasing. My husband declined the offer, explaining ex-plaining to me that he was too happy hap-py as things are. His salary, if he succeeded at alL would have made it possible to save for the children's schooling; I would like to put all three into fine boarding schools some day. WNU Service.) "I ask you if you consider this a fair adjustment of a family's financial finan-cial problem. Is it fair to have one partner working hard all day long, occasionally skipping even the weekend week-end holidays, and to have the other living on the fat of the land, enjoying en-joying his children's companionship and entirely free from care? And if you agree with me that it is not fair, then what do you suggest as an argument or change that will bring matters back to normal?" The Answer to Ann. Well, to begin with, Ann, you describe de-scribe here exactly the normal married mar-ried life, were the position of the sexes reversed. Thousands millions of women, for hundreds of years, have had the home, the housekeeper, housekeep-er, the fruit and flowers, the children's chil-dren's companionship, the regular income, the freedom for neighborly Intercourse that Rex is so much enjoying. en-joying. Were you the one at home and he the one at work, nobody could find anything to criticize in the situation. situ-ation. If that were the case you might very naturally find yourself complaining com-plaining that while you were relegated rele-gated to dull household and farm duties, the company of children and an old colored woman, Rex was living liv-ing an exciting and important life among the lights and gaieties of the big city. ' You are, obviously, the business member of the family. Everything you touch succeeds, and your income in-come already is one that many a man would be proud to earn. You've followed your bent taking a few years out for wifehood and motherhood, mother-hood, it is true, but immediately returning re-turning to the wider field, to the great service that you are privileged privi-leged to give to the unfortunate and defective children of the world that you meet in the course of duty in the position of trust that you evidently evident-ly hold. " Consider Rex. Why grudge Rex his content? So few men are content! If he likes to putter about with apples and walnuts, wal-nuts, to take the muddy old car and go bring the children home from school, to hang on a fence gossiping gossip-ing with a neighbor or to go off for a few days' fishing, why shouldn't he? If those quiet domestic occupations occupa-tions had satisfied you, he would have been perfectly willing to have you enjoy them, and would have plodded away patiently at the office work he hates, to support you In them.

WHEN Columbia decided to film "The Tree of Liberty" Lib-erty" they decided to give the public more than good value. Many of the scenes of the book are laid in Williamsburg, Williams-burg, Va., at the time of the Revolution and just afterward. after-ward. And since the Rockefellers Rocke-fellers have obligingly restored re-stored most of the buildings of the town so that they look as they did then, Columbia sent the company to Williamsburg. They also invited newspaper writers writ-ers down to see Cary Grant Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Richard Carle and others working, under the very able direction of Frank Lloyd. Students from William and Mary college acted as extras; In a scene made in wind and rain in front of Raleigh tavern you'll see them, dressed as students of the college were in the seventeen hundreds. The wind and rain were artificially produced on a beautiful spring evening. eve-ning. The next afternoon Grant was to be photographed riding up to the door of a famous old plantaUon. The governor of Virginia and crowds of enthusiastic fans assembled to watch. When you see that scene, imagine the governor and the rest 1 t4 CARY GRANT of us shivering in a chilly wind from the James river, waiting for the sun to come out while Grant patiently rode his horse up and down until somebody pointed a candid camera at it at close range, making it so nervous that it ran away. Grant lost his hat and got his wig rumpled, and by the time order was restored the sky was too cloudy for any pic tures to be made. The following day a mob was to storm something or other, and a torchlight parade was to be held. So it rained. The picture people were patient; they're accustomed to that sort of thing. The newspaper people were not so they went home. The only news was that the title had to be changed to "The Howards of Virginia," because the other one sounded too much like a Warner Brothers patriotic short and that Martha Scott instead of Joan Fon taine, would play the lead. It's going to be a swell picture, one of Frank Lloyd's best that's recommendation enough for any movie. Director John StahL who has been connected with only two studios-Metro studios-Metro and Universal during the past 25 years, has broken away, along with such producers as Walter Wanger and Frank Capra, to enjoy the freedom of making bis own pic ture selections. You must remember remem-ber his "Back Street" with Irene Dunne, and "Only Yesterday," with Margaret Sullavan, to mention just a few of his successes.
