Gesture of Farewell by Willis Thornton
In a quiet reflection Thornton argues Congress quietly repeals Neutrality Act Section 7 as the nation enters war. He says the 421 year old philosophy dissolves under rapid history, with lessons from World War I guiding avoidance of entanglement and a call to look forward for a shared world order. He notes how cash and carry and limiting loans altered prewar policy and stresses vigilance against future entanglements.

Mrs. Roosevelt Resigns as OCD Assistant Director
Washington. Mrs Eleanor Roosevelt Friday resigned her post as assistant director at the office of civilian defense. James M Landis accepted the resignation noting her vision and energy while saying he could not ask her to continue to give so greatly of your time and gallantry. She stated her aim to design as soon as her division was functioning efficiently and that further time would only invite attacks on an agency she believes serves the people. The first lady was appointed to OCD last September by LaGuardia and she contributed more than half of her time to the agency, in charge of community activities and volunteer workers.
