Still Face Reverses and 7 Roosevelt Warns; "Can't Count on Miracles By KENNETH L.

DLYON WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 -President Roosevelt's flat warning that the American people "still face reverses and misfortunes" in war today re-echoed against the grim sounding-board of a record sea disaster and new food regulations on the home front. Seeking to puncture what he saw as a bubble of optimism reaction to Russian victories, the President in a Washington's birth- sympathetically solved.in the Per- (j ay address last night cautioned sonnel Section, No. girl need be the nation to remember that it lonely or lack social outlet who joins the Club-17, which is devoted exclusively to recreational uc- tivities."

BRUNSWICK PROPERTY SOLD Feb. residence property belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Tom Reynolds, located on the hill in the north part of Brunswick, has been pur- chased by Tyson Nichols and Dr. P.

o. Hayden. Possession of the dwelling was. given last' week and the Reynolds household goods was moved Saturday to Harrisonville. Mr.

Reynolds, for the past several years employed as linotype. op- IP erator in the Brunswicker plant here, now is working on the Mr. Reynolds has been' succeeded in the Brunswicker office by Miss Bessie Halstead of sas City, who arrived here Sun'- day and began work this week. still is "at war," and that it-cannot count on miracles to achieve victory. His warning followed by only a few hours the Navy's announcement that more than 850 lives were lost in the torpedoing of two passenger ships early this month in the nation's worst disaster thus far in the North Atlantic war.

The presidential admonitions too, by news of an emergency price freeze on five previously uncontrolled fresh vegetables, clamped on by tee Office of Price Administration to "avert" further sharp speculative price advances" a's -a result of canned goods rationing. 1777 Recalled While likening enthusiasm over Soviet victories to that following the American Revolutionary triumph over General Burgoyne's army at Saratoga in 1777--which he said brought premature "proclamations that the war was prac- did not minimize the Russian wins. On the contrary, less than two hours before the broadcast to the nation, Mr. Roosevelt sent a message to Joseph Stalin expressing America's "profound for-the Red Army's "magnificent achievements, unsurpassed in all history." And in thus commemorating the Red Army's 25th anniversary, the President paid tribute tp the "supreme sacrifice" of the "Russian people from whom the Red Army springs, and upon whom it is dependent for its men, women and supplies." It was of such sacrifice that he spoke last night when he struck out at "the skeptics, the cynics" of today whom compared to those who gave Washington "his days of trial." Still Face Reverses "The Americans of Washington's day faced defeat on many occasion. We faced, and still face, reverses and misfortunes," he said.

"In 1777, the victory over General Burgoyne's army at Saratoga led thousands of Americans to throw their hats in the -air, proclaiming that the war was practically won and that they should go back to their peacetime occupations--and, shall I say, their peace-time "Today, the great successes on the Russian front- have.led thousands of Americans to throw their hats in the air and proclaim that victory is just around the corner. "Others among us still believe in the age of miracles. They forget that is no Joshua in our midst. We cannot count on great walls crumbling and falling when the trumpets blow and the peoples shout. Faith, Hope Not Enough "It is not enough that we-have faith and that we have hope.

Washington himself was the 'exemplification of the other great need." The President's words were broadcast to Democratic dinners throughout the country, -celebrating the completion of a fundraising drive for the party.Among those who listed were $ioO-a- plate diners at the. Mayflower Hotel here where Vice President Wallace said that if the people of the United States and England "put forth the unified, all- out effort that now is being displayed by the magnificent Russians, Germany car be defeated in 1943." Wallace, aiming his remarks at opponents of a bigger army, declared that such victory could not be won "if we allow our. policy to be dictated by "those who believe that the Russians are going to win the war for us without further, help from us." Wallace, after calling on the Republican Party to abstain from "purely political," tactics, said that Washington suffered "especially from Tory obstruction and half-hearted support," but "never lost courage." He went on to say that President Roosevelt "is 'equally determined that this war for freedom shall be won. He is much more fortunate, (tha.n Washington) in the decree of unity in the country today."
