HORSE-TRADING Mr. Roosevelt drives a shrewd bargain.

He showed that during the inner negotiations on the steel rail price. The results were especially remarkable because the man with whom he was Myron Taylor, has a reputation as a strong dissenter. His friends say he frequently refuses to agree with himself. The steel people did not know it, but Mr. Roosevelt was prepared to surrender for $37.50.

That was the first price he and Rail Commissioner Eastman secretly fixed in their minds. They decided early in the game they could do better than that, so they started off demanding $35. The price haggling went on for two hours in Mr. Roosevelt's office. First Lady Discusses Woman's Position in Mwl-ern World, Divorce, Marriage, Jobs, Health, Budgets and Economy By HARVEY DOUGLASS The First Lady of the Land, in addition to her other multitudinous activities, has found time to write a book.

ness world, modern family conditions, woman's opportunity in advancing the cause of international peace, women's contribution to the success of the NRA and kindred subjects. In her foreword Mrs. Roosevelt likens the problems and difficulties of the modern women in meeting the conditions of'the depression with the valorous part they played in the days of the Pilgrim fathers, during the Revolution and in the Civil War. "The present crisis is different from all the others," declares Mrs. Roosevelt, "but it is, after all, a kind of warfare against an intangible enemy of want and depression, rather than a physical foe.

I hold it equally true that in this present crisis it is going to be the women who will tip the scales and bring us safely out of it." Showing clearly where her sympathies lie. Mrs. Roosevelt, in a chapter headed "Today's Challenge to Women," says: Mr. Taylor waltzed into the executive office followed by a small rmy of lawyers and business valets. Confronting them were only Mr.

Roosevelt, General Johnson and Donald Richberg, Where was the bogey man, the labor leader, Jack Lewis? He was the one who had signed up the miners. He was the man with the big stick. He was the one who was forcing the steel men Into an agreement The Administration had carefully left him over at the Commerce ft i Building. The negotiations went on all morning. The steel side of the case was rather fully developed.

Johnson yawned, suggested he was hungry and adjournment was taken for lunch. Instead of going to lunch, Johnson went to Lewis. The latter found the proposed agreement fairly satisfactory. Apparently the steel people were beaten when they went into the conference. The basis of the final agreement was mainly their offer.

CENSORSHIP These current stories about newsmen investigating violations of the President's aimed at a well-known Washington newsman, writing for a syndicate. He wrote a piece about what Mr. Roosevelt was going to do with Wall Street. It is supposed to have been along lines suggested confidentially by the President at a press conference. The newsman did not attend the conference in question.

He was treated bv Dr. Katz of the Beth Moses stir. The press was requested to set up a committee to deal with confidence violators. The White House explained it did not want to act itself for. fear of stirring up the old censorship rumors again.

The newsmen soon found it was not up to them, but up to the White House, to take punitive steps against confidence violators. They justly passed the buck right back where it belonged. The thing will probably die down without any action being taken by anyone. There will be no censorship of any kind in Washington in this enlightened day and age. The President does not want it and could not get it if he did.

VIODESTY? Shy Emil Hurja, the Farley man who is a thorn in the side of Interior Secretary Ickes, asked several of his associates recently: "How can I keep my name out of the newspapers?" One friend suggested he join the Republican party, which would guarantee him obscurity. Hurja did not think much of that idea but he is reported to be still open to suggestions. That brings him the distinction of being the only man in the New-Deal who does not want publicity.

Flag on Beer and Prosperity Emblems Brings Protests and asks me whether I think we will ever have a woman President of the United States, and I am afraid I look upon tills question with a certain amount of amusement, for it is really unimportant nf what sex a Pre.sidrnt may be. "We certainly will not have woman President' until some woman worthy of being President appears on the horizon. In the meantime, men both worthy and unworthy will probably fill the office." In a chapter on "Women and "Of course, when we come to the very poor homes it is more than ever up to the women; for the men, when they have work, have very little leisure and the women must work hard to keep their families decently clothed, cleaned and fed. I take off my hat to the courage of the many women in the tenement houses, who, in spite of conditions which we would look upon as hopeless, manage to bring up their children, give them a desire to make something better of themselves and keep before their eyes the fact that they are striving for a higher standard." Discusses Young Couples Discussing the problems of the young married couples, Mrs.

Roosevelt declares they are compelled to bear the heaviest burdens of the present economic situation and says: "More than any other group, young married people have the heaviest load, not only of making these material adjustments which every one is obliged to make to a certain degree at present, but of making all the adjustments which are always part of the first years of married life." Mrs. Roosevelt goes on to give valuable hints as to the "making of budgets'' both as to expenditure of time and money "Family Health," "When to Economize Wisely With Children" and "Recreation," and then, coming to a chapter on "Modern Family Conditions," finds divorce under certain circumstances justifiable, stating: "What would have seemed to one generation absolutely immoral will, to another generation, simply mean a matter cf custom and manners and, therefore, in a changing world we must bear in mind that we cannot be too sure that ideals which have served us in the past are to continue to serve us in the future "Just what it is all going to mean in the future none of us knows, as yet, but that the family will persist In some form or other seems inevitable because human needs and cravings seem to be answered best by this association. "We do see today, however, a completely changing attitude toward divorce on the part of the younger generation. It is no longer expected that either men or women will sacrifice their lives to an unhappy mistake. 'I personally think that probably it would be wiser if marriage were made far more difficult.

'That two people who do not find each other congenial should be obliged to live together is not common sense according to the thought of some of the modern generation. 'There are still many people be sides those of the Catholic faith who do not agree with this, more particularly, perhaps, among those of the older generation, but it is well for us all. at least, to acknowledge that such ideas are more or less in the air and to give them consideration. "It seems a far cry from whether a married woman shall work to our attitude toward divorce and the family in general, but, as a matter of fact, these things are all closely interwoven. "I do not think that, because women work, divorce will become more prevalent, but, because of the differences in the conditions under which we live today, I think divorces are more apt to come just as I think women are more apt to hold Jobs." Discussing the attitude of the parents toward their children when they marry.

Mrs. Roosevelt says, in a chapter devoted to this subject: 'Leave Them Alone' "When it comes to their marrying there is little that you can do. Give them, under your supervision, all possible opportunities to see and know each other before they take the important step, but when they are once married, leave them alone." On both the questions of youthful marriage and divorce Mrs. Roosevelt undoubtedly speaks with deeply registered personal conviction, for it was only a short time ago that her son Elliott divorced his wife, in spite of the existence of a child of the union, and shortly thereafter remarried. In a chapter devoted to "Women and Jobs," the writer concedes that, in the present emergency, it may be necessary for married women to give up their work so that their places may be filled by married men or single men or women.

"But." she says, "as a permanent concession to the needs of society. I rebel." Several chapters are devoted to the subjects of "Women and the Hit-Runners Play Tag WithParisPedestrian By (). It. Paris, Oct. 22 There are two ways for to cross Parisian streets in comparative safety.

Roosevelt observes. "I often wonder why they don't ask the men the same question. Later on Mrs. Roosevelt says: "Every few days somebody writes U. S.

May Extend Enforcement of Anti-Crime Laws Department of JtiMiie Considers Taking Jolis Now Left Up to Slates Washington, Nov. 2 (P) Justice Department officials may decide shortly that the Federal Government should take over enforcement of some anti-crime laws heretofore left to States and other local agencies.

"Therefore, it seems inipcssible to say to people, You shall not gamble, but, at least, you can suggest that the part of the wise man is to gamble only that which he can afford to lose." In another chapter, "Women and Working Conditions." Mrs, Roosevelt, pleads for equality of pay and equality of conditions of employment with men and advocates also that women make a larger use of Ihe trade unions as a means of effecting their demands. In this connection Mrs. Roosevelt devotes considerable space to the question of domestic service as an honorable calling for women, especially older ones unable to find other employment, and declares: "I believe that domestic service of some kind Is going to come up again In the world as an occupation for women, but I also believe that householders are going to change their point of view regarding servants. "I hope that the maid of all work, household drudge, will never be allowed again. She had no hours and her wages were low; but she wa.s usually a foreigner, and with restrictive immigration she has, I think, disappeared a.s she undoubt- cdly should.

"The stigma once removed from domestic service, intelligent and ambit ions young x-nple will be ready to enter this service as well as the older ix'oplc, who. a.s I have suggested, may find here a partial so- MuMim to their employment difficul ties." The concluding chapters of the book are drvoted to "Women and Peace" and "Women and the NRA." On the former subject Mrs. Roosevelt states: "A.s I see it there arc two things women must do. "One is to create a will to peace in all things, and the other is to make adventurous some other things in life besides war." Of women's part In advancing the program of the NRA Mrs. Rocsevelt ha.s a simple formula, as follows: "It is up to the women to organize their households and them-s'lvcs, to see that they live within their incomes, that they buv a.s fairk aa nosslhtn frni, Ihn nr chant and hnv are manufactured by fair merchant."

The patriotic connotation of the group, apparently intended by the artist as a tribute to the President's leadership in the restoration of beer, is given emphasis by the introduction into the composition of the American flag itself, draped in pinkish-red and pale blue folds across the barrels. Two of these "New Deal" art objects were seen yesterday in the windows of a beer garden on 5th Ave. There was another in the window of a place on Bergen St.
