Roosevelt be Impeached. She called
the president "a traitor" and said
that only Jews, Communists and
aliens were able to secure war
jobs.
Mrs. Waters Is known to Wash-
ington police and newspaper cor-
respondents as a constant trouble-
maker.
What struck the mark was the
statement by her about Great
Britain, which we quote:
"Britain has no real sons
>o protect. They are only
fighting in Africa. Is that
why we are fightlug Hitler to
save the niggers of Africa?"
During the two-hour session,
Mrs. Waters requested that all
soldiers leave saying, "I do not
mean to Insult soldiers, I Just want
to make aure they don't hear what
I say. I'm not interested in armed
forces. My words are not for
them."'
