Mrs. Roosevelt operates Val-Kill shops, an enterprise which manufactures antique reproductions at Hyde Park. This is a non-profit concern. In the past five years Mrs. Roosevelt has picked up some $25,000 from endorsements, radio talks and writing. The Roosevelts maintain a summer place at Campobello. New Brunswick, another country place at Warm Springs, Ga., and their Manhattan town house. Hyde Park belongs to the President's mother...

...newscameras with Secretary Wallace of Agriculture and Director George Peek of AAA. Then Floyd Bjerstjerne Olson of Minnesota, the group's spokesman, with a sporty blue shirt, blue tie, grey suit and slicked-back hair, led them in to see the President. His jaunty step belied the deep concern he felt. South Dakota's Tom Berry, a broad-brimmed plush hat of sandy hue above his leathery face, took the steps in a rolling cowboy gait.

Of the Manchukuo Opium Monopoly, financed by a Japanese loan, Mr. Fuller snapped, "There can be no question that the concern was established for the express purpose of extending and exploiting the smoking of opium!" Across the League table, as these charges were hurled, sat Japan's placid Masayuki Yokoyama, puffing a cigar. Japan has re-signed from the League and the U. S. has never belonged. After Mr. Fuller...
