ROOSEVELT AFTERMATHS Inside fact is that another Roose- velt-Churchill-Stalin meeting was arranged just before the Big Three left Yalta to take place in London or Paris in mid-May or early June. That particular time was se- lected because Roosevelt feared the San Francisco Conference might kog down and a Big Three meet- ing could break the deadlock. . . . One reason Stalin relented and is sending Molotov to San Francisco is because this May meeting of the Big Three is now thrown off bal- ance by Roosevelt’s death. Some of Roosevelt’s bitterest en- emies clamored to get aboard the funeral train to Hyde Park. One Senator Byrd of Virginia, whq voted against almost every velt domestic policy. Also or Burton K.

The Axis propaganda line has switched. After long saying Stalin was the man who dominated the Big Three, the Nazis row claim Roosevelt was the man who really ran the Big Three. His death, they say, destroys all chance of Big Three cooperation for permanent peace. . . . Bernard Baruch, flying back from Europe for the Roose- velt funeral, reported that we had captured one underground Nazi factory 28 kilometers long. In other words a factory 19 miles long wa completely underground—built with captured slave labor. LOAN LOBBYISTS Ahout 35 Congressmen got roped in on an off-the-record dinner at the Hotel Statler last week. They came to have fun but most of them went away boiling mad. Their hosts were the National Homebuilde Association, recently active in lobbying among Con- gressmen to keep the Government out of the postwar housing picture. Despite failure to provide adeguate low-cost housing in the past, many finance companies specializing in home loans are doing their best to block Government operation.

He said farmers were able to pump because of REA (Rural Electrifica- tion Administration). Then came the big event of the evening. After all the solons had taken their bows and everyone was in relaxed mood, Lobbyist Daniel A. Loftus of the National Homebuilders was introduced as the Association’s “forensic star. Then, only five days after Franklin Roosevelt had breathed his last, Loftus launched into a bitter at- tack on the late President and M Roosevelt. ROOSEVELT ATTACKED denounced Loftus, who started “Roosevelt,” “was a great dreamer to socialize things, aided and abetted by his wife, who rushed around with her rubber boots and her little blue roadster—which was a Cadillac.” He followed this with a tirade about the “socialistic schemes” of the New Deal and the Communist influence upon the White House. Direct object of his attack, of course, was the National Housing Act. | The good-will earlier generated by the lobbyists vanished. A dozen Congressmen got up and walked out while Loftus was speaking. The at- tack especially incensed young Walter Huber, promising freshman Congressman from Akron, Ohio. Huber got to his feet as soon as Loftus finished and declared: t “It comes with ill grace two days | after the burial of our great presi- | dent to make a personal attack‘ upon him and his bereaved widow.” The room became hushed. Nearly‘ | everyone present, including Re- publicans, nodded agreement with Huber. | “As a neophyte member of the Public Buildings and Grounds Committee,” continued Huber; “I| don’t claim to know all there is to | a destruction which big battleships agal | engagements against scored most of the punches and | | accomplished a lion’s share of the destruction. its longest-range THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIR — U ALASKA TUESDAY APRIL 24 1945, ry assault upon hostile shores, effecting weapons could have no other Fleet Admiral Ernest /@ o o o ¢ |tire will be evident.
