Quill Club Meets During Luncheon
The lirst fall meeting of the Quill club is scheduled for Friday noon in the Student Union for luncheon. Ed Siegar. president will reserve a table for the members. Plans for future meetings will be discussed.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 18.—<r.R>— , Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt said today that when, and if. married men are drafted for military service her four sons should be called in preference to men whose families are entirely dependent upon them for support.
Her sons’ families, she said at a press conference, “would not starve." whereas less fortunate families might be disrupted. All of her boys—John. Franklin, Jr., Elliot and James—are within the draft's 21 to 35 age bracket. Like 16.000.000 other men. they will register on national registration day October 16.
Mrs. Roosevelt urged that local draft boards, yet to be selected, be chosen with great care so that every draftee's civil rights will be protected. Administration officials have pledged that existing social gains will be maintained and that ' civil liberties will bep reserved.
She refused to comment on recent charges of the American Newspaper Guild's executive board and the American Youth Congress that labor and social legislation and civil liberties may be abrogated by the draft and the defense program. She called for a high type of patriotism beginning in the homes, the schools and the communities.
Patriotic riteu such as singing the National Anthem and saluting the flag are of value, she said, but they do not build up real patriotism unless the government really means something to the people.
< Ty implication she condemned Communists and fellow-travelers who seek government employment. She could not see how anybody with integrity could take an oath of allegiance to this government while advocating another form of regime.
“Of course,” she added, “I have no respect whatsoever for people who haven’t the courage to stand up for what they believe.”
A sidelight of the press conference was a statement by Miss Charles O. Williams, field secretary of the National Education association, that the Duke and Duchess of Windsor are a “middle-aged couple who are buckling down to their job in the Bahamas."
“The Duchess has artistic, creative. and executive ability, and I am sure she will apply them to this task.-’ she said. She quoted the Duchess as saying to her:
“After all, we are a middle-aged couple. We don’t go to night clubs. We live a simple life, and enjoy things with each other.” Miss Williams added that there are plenty of night clubs in the Bahamas.
