President Creates Agency to Speed Rescue of Persecuted European Minorities WASHINGTON Jan P1 President Roosevelt created a War Refugee board tonight and directed it to attempt the rescue of victims of enemy oppression who are in imminent danger of The board consists of the Secre taries of State Treasury and War who are empowered to appoint a full-time executive director to administer the refugee assistance program A White House statement said the action was designed to bring about immediate rescue from the Nazis of many as possible of the persecuted minorities of Europe-racial religious or political-all civilian victims of enemy savagery" URGENT The White House said that Mr Roosevelt stressed that it was urgent for action to be taken at once forestall the plan of the Nazis to exterminate all the Jews and other persecuted minorities in Europe" Decision as to how the goal could be accomplished was left to the board It could perhaps make use of the International Red Cross neutral diplomatic missions or even underground movements in occupied lands In his executive order setting up the board Mr Roosevelt declared it to be "the policy of this government to take all measures within its power to rescue the victims of enemy oppression who are in imminent danger of death and otherwise to afford such victims all possible relief and assistance consistent with the successful prosecution of the war" CO-OPERATION Mr Roosevelt stated the White House said that he expected to get the co-operation of all the United Nations and other foreign governments in the program The State department was directed to appoint special attaches with diplomatic status or recommendation of the board to be stationed at spots where help might be rendered to war refugees The board will be charged not only with developing plans for the rescue of oppressed peoples but also with working out measures for their transportation maintenance and relief and for setting up "havens of temporary The executive order did not specify what government funds would be used for operations of the refugee agency but Mr Roosevelt empowered the board and the state Treasury and War departments to accept contributions or service of any private persons or organizations state agencies or agencies of foreign governments FUNERAL OF ARMY FLYER TO BE HELD TODAY AT 3 Funeral services for Lt Bishop Jr son of

Industrial Schools in Eire are now crowded to capacity Memorial Miss Louise Armstrong of Statesville road is critically ill at Memorial hospital and is unable to receive visitors Presbyterian Mrs McAuley of 533 Oakland avenue has entered the Presbyterian hospital to undergo MR DEWEY AND THE DRAFT WASHINGTON Jan 22 The assumption now general in political circles that Gov Thomas Dewey of New York will be the next Republican nominee for the Presidency raises the question of how he will get around hii public pledge to serve his full term as Governor i declaration that he would not be a candidate for any other office and his assertion that no man was ever drafted for the Presidency without the draft To the ordinary man these statements would seem to impose an insuperable bar to his nomination To the ordinary man he would seem to have eliminated himself from consideration True he did not say as did General Sherman that nominated I will not accept if elected I will not but what he did say was certainly clear-cut and unequivocal Moreover there is little doubt that at the time he was sincere Therefore it is interesting to note that neither the politicians of his own party nor those of the Democratic party consider him under any moral obligation to live up to the full meaning of his declaration On the contrary they never thought he would if things took as they have a strong turn in his direction POLITICIANS are funny that way and the reasoning by which his friends now justify his probable nomination and which it is held his rivals and foes ultimately will accept has at least a certain plausibility Certainly it satisfies the politicians who are insisting upon making him the candidate They are quite and probably they are that no issue of bad faith can be made against him either in the convention or in the campaign on this score As to General historic statement it is they say absurd to use that as a yardstick General Sherman was in the army He was neither a public man nor a party man His position was entirely different from that of Governor Dewey If the latter had taken any such attitude he would have assumed first that he was going to be nominated and second that he Is a bigger man than his both of them assumptions he was not entitled to make For another thing it is argued no public and party man is justified in refusing a Presidential nomination which comes to him without effort upon his part and as a result of a real party demand Certainly if he did that this year he would close the door of opportunity for other years Naturally he wants to be President of the United States Who In his position When he declared that he would serve his full term as Governor and would not be a candidate for any other office he meant it At the time he had no thought that there would be anything approaching a genuine in which there would be no connivance on his part Perhaps there will not be such a draft but if there is certainly he would have to yield and there could be no question of bad faith or lack of sincerity All he has to do is to keep his word about not being a candidate refusing to enter any primary or take any action that justly could be construed as promoting his candidacy or conniving in the NOTHING MORE than that can reasonably be expected of him To do anything more would be foolish: to do anything less would be insincere That is the argument and most politicians think it a sound one It is further pointed out that Woodrow Wilson became a candidate for a second term in 1916 although at his insistence a one-term plank had been put in the 1912 platform In view of that precedent it is held Mr Dewey hardly could be indicted because he regarded a call from his party to take its Presidential nomination as nullifying his early statement of his purpose to serve out his full term Particularly it is held the charge of insincerity could not be made against him by the Democrats whose candidate Mr Roosevelt had engineered and directed his own in 1940 and again feigning reluctance repeated this performance in 1944 That is the defense It satisfies the politicians and it is likely it will satisfy the people In any event it does seem clear that if Mr Roosevelt is again nominated the issue of insincerity is the last one his partisans would want to raise Mr Dewey through his friends has let it be known that if the convention nominates him he will accept but that he will not raise a finger to get the nomination To some extent this is conniving in the draft Certainly it is not General Sherman stuff but that is too much to expect It may not be 100 per cent sincere but in any event it does not approach in insincerity the phoniness of the 1940 Roosevelt draft nor the false pretense of what is now being done to insure his fourth nomination iEEHODA!
