GI JOE DOl’BTFIL RICHLAND CENTER, Wir ('UP)'—'Postwar planners had belt be cautious in predicting about what GI Joe will want after the war because a survey made by ordinary citizens of this northern Wisconsin community revealed that even Joe doesn't know the answer. The group decided to ask the fellows who count what they thought about their postwar desires and mailed questionnaires to about 400 men for whom they had addresses. The first 150 replies ^iave been studied and tabulated. GI Joe admits he doesn't know what he wants but he guesses, and loads his guess heavily with “ifs” and "buts.'' The only thing about which he is sure is that Ihe wants a job and not a dole. 'jl’ve cut my own swath so far!” one answered. f. D. R.'s Press Conference As Gay and Happy as Ever
A private explained it this way: “I'm glad you’re interested. I'm grateful, too. . . I actually don’t know, and it is my personal observation and conviction that there are a helluva lot of young fellows, more or less footloose, who are in the same boat. “If the whole country didn't know where it was going prior to Dec. 7, a few years ago, I doubt if we can reasonably be expected to know where we’re going when it’s over. We've seen a lot of new places and new faces since we went away. Some we’ve liked—some we've hated. “Most of us will find our way back, except for those for whom there will be no postwar world or pink questionnaires—only a mouth full of foreign mud and a gold star somewhere.” Although vague in many respects, the replies did give suf-
Mrs. Roosevelt’s Meeting Is Solemn One by Contrast

By HELEN ESSARY Central Press Columnist
President Still Can Chuckle
• WASHINGTON—Would that I had the wings of that angel In the
long. Or the key to television.
Then I would not have had to scurry so fast through the wet leaves and puddles of a rainy morning across the White House grounds
from the Executive Office to the Big Front Door.
Puffing and splashing my way from the first Fourth Term news conference of Franklin Roosevelt to the First Fourth Term news
conference (ladies only) of Eleanor Roosevelt.
Both conferences were called for 11 o’clock. I didn't have to toss • coin to decide to go to Mr. Roosevelt’s meetin' first and take a
chance on edging in a little late on Mrs. Roosevelt’s meetin’. After all, presidents ARE presidents. And
not to be overlooked.
Mr. Roosevelt's conference certainly was fun. I had a wonderful time. Most of the news people came away chuckling. Saying to each other: “Well,
whether you were for him or not, you might as well enjoy him. Anyhow, there isn’t anything much you can do about him. Not for
A while, anyhow.”
Mrs. Roosevelt’s conference was not fun. It was solemn. After having laughed with the Big Chief for 15 minutes, especially when he searched through his desk for the yellow paper on which he had written his own bet on the electoral votes he would get, it was kind of depressing to get into the serious atmosphere of the White House second floor sitting room, where Mrs. Roosevelt and the members of her conference were struggling over world problems, domestic problems and personal problems. We ladies of the press queried Mrs. Roosevelt on every issue from how to cure the disease known as isolationism to how much China have you broken since you came into the White House. We touched likewise on such matters as the servant problem, Mme. Chiang Kaishek, will you have much food at the inauguration parties? Is it true that you are going to Paris? And what is Communism made of? “Are you glad to be back, Mrs. Roosevelt?” somebody asked. “But she hasn’t been anywhere, yet,” a sotto voice remarked. Then Mrs. Roosevelt and everybody else laughed. It was the first laugh there. Before I go further I want to report on the look of the top drawer In Mr. Roosevelt’s desk. How would you expect it to look? Very
tidy? You're wrong.
It was as messy as my own top desk drawer. Or yours. Odds and ends of papers and bits of pencils and clips skidded about as he
hunted up his election bet.
It seemed at one moment as if he were going to spill all the stuff an the floor. Then a Secret Service man sprang forward. Straightened up the drawer. And found the fatal paper. To get back to my subject, a comparison of the two Rooseveltian meetings. They proved once again ho.Mf many more kinds of things are expected of women than of men. Mr. Roosevelt was asked some sharp world questions. You know —Wg, thrilling questions. Nobody dreamed however of inquiring, for example, If he had any plans to do over the carpet in the East Room. Or what about the water glasses in the drinking fountain in the outer office of the Executive Mansion. Or was he going to replenish the cracked glasses belonging thereto? And if he did would he change the pattern to something of the
type preferred by Mr. Hoover?
The president's conference was satisfied to have him be ^ worldflgure—or a world beater. Whichever way you feel about things. Not so were we with Mrs. Roosevelt. Mrs. Roosevelt had to give specific answers to every problem now troubling the world pluswell, at one point we got so specific and so very domestic, I should not have been surprised if somebody had inquired: “Mrs. Roosevelt,
have you made any plans for using up the potato parings from the White House kitchen during the
next four years?
Women do have a hard life. Doubling in the duller virtues while settling world affairs and keeping the nail polish unchipped is something of a strain on
any constitution.
And yet, I do not know. A smart woman can get around quite a lot. If she keeps her mind on her goal. . . . That’s why I think Mrs. Roosevelt IS going to Paris some time soon. Why would anybody think she was not going to Paris—if she wanted to go?
ficient information to show indications, O. J. Snodgrass, Richland Center man who proposed the study, explained. He said the questionnaire asked the GI Joes where they would settle what wor k they wanted, whether they had a job lined up, whether they planned to return to school, whether they would need living quarters aand financial as-
sistance.
Of the 150 tabulated. 31 said they would need no financial aid or were uncertain about it. Almost all, with the xeception of those who would need loans to buy property, indicated they would not need financial help if they could get a job. And they want a job. Sixty-three per cent said they would return to Richland county; others were undecided, had jobs elsewhere or would go where the best opportunity called. Twenty-seven want farms; 15 wish to become established in business; 19 are or will be set up in professions; 25 want skilled jobs; three w.ll remain in the army; 11 will return to school; 60 were undecided. The latter category included many who had jobs wa.ting for them but didn’t want that kind. Favorite job choices were those of truck driver and policeman, probably because many servicemen are driving trucks or serving with the military police and enjoy that. If the local boys follow through on their replies, Richland county will have one truck driver for every four citizens and one policeman for -very truck driver. There were 74 who definitely want to ovWi their own homes; 30 men said they would need living quarters and 22 others said naybe they would, too. With those replies as a guide, i community rehabilitation committee is planning to find jobs for veterans, planning financial aid, local projects which will employ thorn, local ng farms and businesses to be available for purchase af.er the war.
whenever it can be avoided. Feeding stations should be set up in shelters and near good cover so that birds will net be lured away from protection to become the prey of predators. Food should be placed where quail, particularly, will be able to use cover lanes. Small quantities of emergency food distributed at short intervals is more effective than large quantities placed or. the ground at one time. The conservation clubs of the state are well organized for emergency feeding. Many stations have been established, and most organizations have available a a supply of mill screenings and grain. Under ordinary conditions the emergency feeding programs do not get under way until later in the winter, when the supply of natural food becomes low. Indiana sportsmen and conservationists in the past have been responsible for saving a large percentage of the game bird population from starvation by
this activity.

CONSIDER GI JOE
(Editors: This is the last of a series of articles on the views of state legislators as the Indiana General Assembly prepares to open its 1945 session Thurs-
day.)
By Boyd Gill U P Staff Corres|M»ndent INDIANAPOLIS, Jan 2 — (UP)—The rehabilitation of “G. I, Joe” was considered today by 'Indiana state legislators as the No. 1 subject facing the state general assembly in its 61-day biennial session which opens
Thursday.
More than any other problem, aid for returning war veterans was named by state representatives and senators reached in a United Press sampling of views relating to the 1945 legislative
meeting.
Other post-war problems ranked second in the list. Many of the lawmakers planned to introduce bills developing their own plans for meeting the problems which they considered the most important. Among other subjects considered highly important as the legislators prepared to open their first regular session since 1943,
were:
Improvement of the state welfare system, improvement of social security regulations, reapportionment of legislative representation among the state’s counties, protection of the $43,000,000 (m) state general fund balance, and improvement of state-operated penal and bene-
volent institutions.

FACE STARVATION
A large percentage of tho population of quail, as well as insect.vorous and songbirds wintering in Indiana face starvation because of the continued snow, : ce and severe weather, Harrell F. Mosbaugh, director of the division of fish and game announced, as he urged conscrvation sts and sportsmen to begin immediately their programs of emergency winter feeding, Conditions are particularly critical in tile northern part of j the state, Mr. Mosbaugh said, 1 where unusually early snows ani ice have covered the ground and made it impossible for birds to
find natural food.
Pointers To Meet Waynetown Squad Notice to all sports fans: Saturday* night, January 6th, at Bainbridge High School gym is a must see on all your lists. The Waynetown Gladiators under Coach R. D. Capehart comes to the Pointers’ gym for first and second team games. Waynetown has quite a record. They haven’t been defeated in regularly scheduled games since early Novemoer, 1942. During that time they nave won 40 straight games. Both Bainbridge and Waynetown won 9 straight games before the Christmas holidays Special interest to both schools is the fast that Bainbridge lost to Waynetown in last year’s regional final, 46 to 45 in a doubleovertime. Coach Lyman Newlin lost three regulars from last year’s Pointer five, Charley Cox, Clarence O’Hair and Bert Alcorn plus David Elliott, a good replacement. This year’s team is built around five seniors and three juniors. Senior members are Eldon Proctor, Fred Thralls Medford McBride, Dean South and Don South. Juniors include Lloyd O’Hair, Donovan Hendrich and Phil Elliott. According to advance dope, ‘lie Waynetown team is a little stronger on offense, while Bainbridge has a better defense. However the Bainbridge attack hasn’t lagged very much as they have averaged 39 points per game to their opponents' 22 per
game.
If the weatherman will cooperate, there should be a large turn-out for the game. Due to limited seating capacity, team players from other schools wi’l be charged the regular student
price.

A Republican senator commented that he felt “there aren’t many big problems now facing the legislature." Major problems he said, would arise with the end of the war.

Legislative reapportionment was considered important by several lawmakers who pointed 'out that only 11 of the date's 92 counties have their ovfn state senators and only 46 counties nave their own representatives. The other legislative districts arc made up of from two to four counties each. Others sought to abandon the state convention method of selecting party nominees for state offices, replacing it with a primary.
