Last week President Roosevelt spent his quietest seven days since the war began. He traveled from Hyde Park to Warm Springs, with a brief stop-over in Washington, dedicated a community centre, made a joke about the third term, carved a turkey at the Thanksgiving dinner for the patients at the Warm Springs Foundation, looked over his 2,500-acre Georgia farm, held a press conference at the roadside while sitting at the wheel of his car, discussed taxes, and in general provided reporters with nothing to write about...
...Warm Springs: Budget Director Harold Smith, who talked about cutting non-military expenses; Mayor the Reverend Mr. Woodfin G.

U.'s action to speak louder than words for peace. Left-wing charges that A. F. of L. was too reactionary, that many an old-line A. F. of L. leader was a visionless labor boss, he brushed aside-all the more reason, said he, why the progressives should be back in A. F. of L., to moderate...

Bliss '43, chairman of the Red Book. Circulation will exceed last year's, he predicted, as a hand-picked list of 150 debutantes has received invitations to subscribe...
