Show DRAFT SUPPORT I have some sour letters saying that the reason I am so repetitious and emphatic is that I want to be "director of selective service," as I was deputy director before. I don't, and even if I did, Mr. Roosevelt Roose-velt would rather lose an eye tooth than call me to that duty. On this bill, as on all other measures to speed national defense. I have supported sup-ported him as constantly as any of his friends. Men in the war department charged with planning this effort have also had everything I could give them from my experience in the way of both support and advice, and both they and the President know that no matter who is finally charged with the execution of this law. they can rely on me for any unofficial help and support I can give, from running erninds to the best this column can oflcr. This should be obvious because in a manner of speaking, it is my baby and I am irtensfly jealous of ts success. |
