Mrs. Roosevelt Sees
Spy Probing as Job
For FBI, Not House
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, here for
a conference with President Tru
man, declared today that espionage
investigations are a job for the FBI
and not the House Committee on
Un-American Activities.
“It isn't anybody else's job but
the FBI,” she said in reply to ques
tions about her attitude on the
committee’s current inquiry into
alleged Communist spy and infiltra
tion activities in the Government.
The widow of the former Pres
ident - arrived at National Airport
early this, afternoon an hour late
but still in time to keep a luncheon
engagement with President Tru
man. She said she had been in
vited to the White House by the
President for a discussion of prob
lems likely to come up at the Paris
meeting of the General Assembly
of the United Nations. Mrs. Roose
velt will attend that session as an
American delegate.
She chuckled when asked if the
White House conference would take
up political subjects.
“No,” she said, "there will be no
politics.”
Mrs. Roosevelt also refused to
discuss the presidential election
campaign. She indicated that this
was in line with the stand she took
at the time of the Democratic Na-,
tional Convention when she took no
active part because she felt that
her duties as a tJnited Nations dele
gate should not permit political
campaigning.
Her visit to the White House was
the first since April 28. She was met
at the airport by Harry Chamley,
a White House policeman.
