WASHINGTON, Jan. 30,—(P)-
The presidents of the United States
and Brazil, reaching an accord in
i personal conference, are agreed
that the Atlantic must be made
‘safe for all” and that West Africa
and Dakar must never again offer
threats of blockade or invasion
against the Americas.

ping of war strategy with Prime
Minister Churchill at Casablanca
Morocco, President Roosevelt con-
ferred wtih President Vargas aboard
a United States destroyer at Natal
Thursday. They told of the points
they had agreed on in a joint state-
ment last night.
In Rio de Janeiro, Vargas asserted
that a complete accord on the war
effort was reached between the two
American allies, stirring fresh spe-
culation whether Brazil might take
an even more active role in the
conflict by sending troops to the ac-

On two points they were definite.
"It is the aim of Brazil and of

in their joint declaration released
at the White House. "We are deeply
grateful for the almost unanimous
help that our neighbors are giving
to the great cause of democracy
throughout the world.”
The latter sentence was regarded
as being addressed patricularly to
Argentina, the only one of the Latin
American nations which has failed
to declare war on the Axis or rup-
sure diplomatic relations.
The two chief executives also ex-
pressed “complete agreement that it

WASHINGTON—The 61st birth-
day of Franklin D. Roosevelt finds
him rounding out 10 tempestuous
years in the White House with “se-
curity" still the theme song of his
amazing presidential career.
Through a decade of precedent-
smashing economic recovery and
reform measures, of bitter politi-
cal strife and finally of this coun-
try’s involvement in war, the
right of all to "a comfortable liv-
ing, secure from the fear of pov-
erty and of war" has been the key-
stone of his political preach-
ments.
The underlying pattern of the
"Rcosevelt political revolution" and
the spreading of war flames to
American shores are reflected in
the following utterances, culled
from public statements made by
him since he ascended to the
Presidency:
1933. — "I have no sympathy

PRESIDENT, ON 6IST BIRTHDAY,
STILL IS SETTING PRECEDENTS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30 —():
President Roosevelt is 61 years old
today and, as a sideline to directing.
America in its most titantic war,
he still is setting precedents at a
rapid pace.
That the passing of another year
has not dimmed his eye for the
dramatic and spectacular or made
heavy inroads on his vigor was dem-
onstrated by his epochal flight to
Casablanca to chart 1943 war plans
designed to force "unconditional
surrender" on Germany, Italy and
Japan.
Never before in wartime had an
American chief executive set foot
on foreign soil, or conferred in their
home lands with heads of other
nations, as he did on the way back
from Africa with Presidents Bar-
promised that the Allies will strike
and strike hard at the Axis trium-
virate and that 1943 will see sub-
stantial advances along the rough
roads to Rome, Berlin and Tokyo.
Where the blows will fall, of
course, will not be disclosed ahead
of time. But the chief executive and
Winston Churchill announced that
the war councils at Casablanca, to
which they took their top military
and navy strategists, had resulted in
complete agreement on plans for
1943.

interests in all groups of the com-

For Mr. Roosevelt, the period be-

was perhaps as eventful as any in
his career. It saw the development
of the united nations as the most
formidable international union ever
established.
It saw those nations shift from the
defensive to the offensive, with the
help of what the President has called
a miracle of production in the
United States. It saw the Japanese
pressed back at points in the Pa-
cific, an Anglo-American invasion
of North Africa, and a colossal win-
ter offensive prung by Russia.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Jan. 30.—(A)
— Brazilians applauded Saturday
the “complete accord” reached by
President Getulio Vargas and Presi-
dent Roosevelt in their surprise
conference at Natal, and it was
even hinted that the “cooperation
without restrictions” promised by
President Vargas, might include
sending Brazilian soldiers to the
African battle front. L
Smiling and optimistic after his
meetings with President Roosevelt
aboard a U. S. destroyer in the
harbor at Natal, President Vargas
told a press conference that com-
plete agreement had been reached
on war operations and "on all
points we discussed.”
"President Roosevelt was frank-
ly optimistic over the outcome of
the battle," Vargas said.
The Brazilian press, splurging
the biggest Brazilian story since
this nation entered the war on Aug.
22, 1942, hinted that the meeting
of the two presidents might bring
fulfillment of the wishes of many
government leaders to send Brazil-
ian troops to the African and later
the European battlefields. -
Rear Admiral Jonas H. Ingram,
commander of the United States
oSuth Atlantic flet, said the meet-
ing "was the most important ever
held in the western hemisphere.
The executives of the two greatest
nations met and discussed the pres-
ent and future of the western hem-
isphere and were in perfect accord.”
President Vargas said “the
Allied nations are preparing for
a long war, not wishing to be
too optimistic because war has
• surprises." a
“German military power evi-
dently is declining," he said.
“There may be a collapse one
moment or the other. But, gen-
erally, we are preparing for the
emergency and are considering
a long war.
"I found the President of the
United States fully satisfied with
the results of the Casablanca con-
ference, one of the purposes’ of
which was to achieve unity of the
French people.”
The two presidents, dressed in
cool white suits and wearing Pana-
ma hats, rode together I in a jeep
while reviewing the United States
forces at the airfield outside Natal.
Constant patrols of bombers and
fighters flew overhead throughout
their conferences and inspection
tours.
Roosevelt and Vargas spoke
French to each other most of the
time, but U. S. Ambassador Jef-
ferson Caffery sometimes trans-
lated Roosevelt’s English into Port-
uguese for the Brazilian president.
Military and Naval officials of
both nations also conferred and
participated in some of the dis-
cussions. Vargas and Roosevelt met
three times on Thursday and again
Friday morning before Vargas
started back to the capital.
Brig. Gen. Robert L. Walsh, com-
mander of the South Atlantic wing
of the Army air transport com-
mand, said “it was an inspiring
thing for every American soldier,
sailor and marine in Natal to see
President Roosevelt.” -
“He rode a jeep down the lines
and looked them in the eyes. He
wanted them to know that if they
could take this war, he could too."
President Vargas said he also dis-
cussed with President Roosevelt
problems which may arise after
peace is won, but that “the great-
est part of the conversations was
devoted to the necessity of winning
the war and on this theme was
centered cooperation between Bra-
zil and the United States, which is
an integral cooperation without
restrictions.”

women of America to keep up their

Good grooming, as defined by

Second request of Mrs. Scarbor-

council designate for future park
use about 14 acres of the city sewer
farm. The ground lies just south of
Ambler avenue, and in 1939 was the
site of a ball park for the Abilene
Apaches,-last professional baseball
venture here.
The council gave informal ap-
proval to the idea, but deferred a
final step until next week. In the
meantime. Commissioners A. H.
Pool, and G. L. Jennings, and City
Engineer Tom H. Willis, in company
with a committee from the parks
board, will visit the ground.
Teacher Salary
Boost Approved
Increase of $20j000 in the city
school maintenance budget, expect-
ed to mean a salary boost of $100 in
the current school year for each of
the system’s 225 employes was
voted by the Abilene city commission
Friday. ..
Unanimous approval was given by
the council and Mayor W. W. Hair.
Action was taken in the absence of
any school representative, but need
for the fund had previously been
discussed with Mayor Hair and some
of the commissioners.
The school board was expected to
wait until its regular meeting date,
next Thursday, to plan distribution
of the new fund. Supt. L. E. Dudley
said however that each teacher’s
base pay probably would be boosted
$100 yearly.
The increws: would bring the local
average teacher salary to $1346, a
figure in line with school organiza-
tions in other towns of comparable
size. Present base pay is $900 for a
degree teacher with no experience, a
base that is graduated upward on
the basis of experience and further
schooling. However 95 of the system’s
present teachers receive less than
$1200 yearly.
The commission’s move Friday
was the second addition of the week
to school operating funds. An-
nounced earlier was a Works Prog-
ress agency allotment of $25,000, sub-
ject to presidential approval. The
grant would partially cover a bud-
geted deficit in the year’s operating
expense.
Camp Water Line
Bill Paid off Early
Voting the payment three years
early of $37,000 due on Abilene’s
water line to Camp Barkeley, city
commissioners Friday removed all
obligation on the line and put it in
the realm of a money-making busl-
posed 20-inch line connecting the ____
