FIRST LADY VIEWS
NATION'S PROBLEMS
Mrs. Roosevelt delivers second town hall
lecture, says peace and industry two-fold job
By Elizabeth Clark and
Mary Kerrigan.
"The two greatest problems fac
ing American students today are
peace, and getting a job, and the
two are rather tied together," said
Mrs. Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Friday afternoon. The first lady,
discussing education, said that she
thought the great need of the
country today was vocational
training and guidance, offered
through high schools, and an ex
tension of high school curriculum
to include more practical educa
tion. During her interview the presi
dent's wife wore a ong-sleeved
black sheer wool, with a wide
sherry-colored front panel, black
fan shaped hat, and a two-strand
choker pearl necklace. Her first
thought seemed to be of the com
fort of her interviewers. She was
gracious and poised, and at
tempted to answer all the ques
tions asked.
Likes shelter belt.
Mrs. Roosevelt evinced a great
interest in the shelter-belt plant
ing project in the drouth areas and
commented "My husband has al
ways believed this was a possible
thing to do." She spoke of the
skepticism on this project in
Washington, and the faith in it
farmers she talked to during her
trip had shown. She thought the
farmers "very amusing and aw
fully nice."
The first lady said that she had
noticed little difference in atti
tudes of eastern and western peo
ple toward peace. Asked which
side she thought the American
people would take in feeling she
said, "We are, as yet, neutrals
Universally, however, people of
the United States, prefer democ
racy to dictatorship. People want
very much to stay out of war if
they possibly can.
"We are foolish to predict the
future," she said when asked
about peace aims that the U. S
might have. "Everything changes
and we all have to learn that in
temational problems have to be
faced at the time they arise."
Mrs. Roosevelt said she thought

"This country by and large,
wishes to remain at peace," said
Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt, speaking
Friday night at the coliseum, un
der the auspices of the Lincoln
Junior League. The first lady of
the land said that she believed the
function of this country is two
fold in the present world situation.
First, she said, we must through
coopeartion between groups solve
our own problems and prove to
the world that democracy is a
functioning and practical system
of government.
Then, Mrs. Roosevelt believes,
we will have something construc
tive to offer to the other nations
when peace comes again. Sec
ond, the president's wife said, we
should help in the rehabilitation of
the war-torn nations, both .be
cause we are thankful that their
fate, was not our fate, and because
we are sorry for their misfortune.
Don't feel despondent.
Mrs. Roosevelt urged Amer
icans not to feel despondent be
cause all the peace movements of
the last decade seem to have been
futile, but to plan for a time when
once again there will be peace in
the world, this time not a peace
based on bitter treaties, but on a
firmer basis.
We cannot restrict our activi
ties and trade to one hemisphere
and let the rest of the world live
by itself, both because our stand
ard of living would be cut by this
policy, and because bonds of rapid
communication and transportation
are making the world constantly
closer-knit, believes the first lady,
She further said that while war
may result in a temporary in
crease in employment and world
trade for the United States, it is
time that we realized that if one
group is in the grip of hard times.
all the rest are affected, and that
this applies not only on a national
but on an international scale.
Mrs. Roosevelt said this coun
try has no desire to take anything
from another country, because we
are in so great a measure self
sufficient. She emphasized the
fact that this security made us

BETH HOWLEY
...Cornhusker beauty queen.
By John McDermott.
Pitching Paul Christman led his
Missouri mates to a smashing
27-13 win over Nebraska's over
confident Cornhuskers at Colum
bia yesterday afternoon. Christ
man was throwing strikes in big
league style to constantly drive
the Huskers deep into their own
territory. Pitching Paul was toss
ing his passes to the Orf brothers,
Starmer and Rouse for long gains
throughout the afternoon.
The Tigers struck fast in the
opening quarter, taking advantage
of Nebraska errors. The Tigers
recovered a Scarlet fumble on the
44 and a few plays later Christ-
man hurled one to Bud Orf
straight down the middle. Hopp
drove in to make a vicious tackle,
causing Orf to fumble. Brother
Bob Orf was on the alert and
picked the fumble out of the air
and ran 15 yards unmolested to
score. The try for point was wide.
Alfson intercepts.
Nebraska retaliated soon after
on an intercepted pass by Alfson.
Harry Hopp picked up a first
down in three tries, and then
Lpitched to Luther on the six yard
nine. On the next plav Luther
scampered over on a reverse, after
taking the ball from Hopp on the
old statue of liberty. Rohrig was
rushed in to convert, but his at
tempt was wide.
Missouri came back strong to
pick up a first down after Roh
rig's kickoff. Christman faded
back and threw a long looper over
the safety man's head, and Bob
Orf gathered it in for another
