Mrs. Franklin D. Roose velt disclosed yesterday. The Feason: an army of “far- i merettes’’ will be needed to help harvest next year’s crops and tbe office of civilian defense will try to' mus'er it, according to- Mrs. Roosesrelt, assistant director.- -- There is no question, she snid at her press conference, that a large number o'f women will be needed for this task. The num ber. she explained, will probably be de ermlned by a survey of farm labor conditions now being made in the midwest by a House committee. In the meantime, the First La- dv said she had a=ked OCD youth physical fi ness and volunteer bureau divisions to study pro'ja- ble needs in anticipation of the committee report. She indicated tha' no attempt would be made, to establish ‘‘far merette)’’ in tent colonies This was tried during the World War, she said, and it did nat work as successfully as when ludlvidual farm families took women work ers into their homes. • The need for the army of wom- ,she explained, comes from a of farm labor precipi- the defense drive.

Chicago. — Betty Austin tried I four times in five minutes, but each time she failed. She was trying to kill herself, so Policeman Hary E. Smith says she 'declared. Tne 18-year-old blonde -was standing on a loop ‘‘El’’ platform when bystanders noticed she ap peared ready to jump in front of an onrushing train. They pulled her back from the edge of the platform. Policeman Smith was attracted ■ by the commotion. | When the girl .saw him start to ward her, she ran to the back of the platform and attempted to fling herself over the rail to the street. Smith ran after her and pulled her off the rail. Betty broke loose from his grasp and fled down the i stairs (o the street with Smith in' pursuit. The girl rnn across the intersec tion and t.wew herself in the path of a street car. -Again she was frustrated as the motorman brought the tram to a jerking halt. Smith atempted to grab he: again, but Betty leaped to her fet and ran down the street. With the oficer still chasing her, -he threw herself in front of a taxi cab. The driver stopped with his brakes screeching and Smith cap tured the fighting girl. Smith says) she screamed: | “Let me alone. Let me do what I \vant. I want to kill myself. The officer pushed her into the taxicab and ordered the driver to the police station. Betty refused to explain her action. Said Pa trolman Smith: “I had to sit on her to get her licre. She had an awful lot of life for a girl who wanted to kill her- . self." iWillkie Makes Refu gees’ Plea WILL HAVE NO TROUBLE FILLING HIS SACK WITH Washington.
