My dear Mr. Perkins:
States
This will acknowledge receipt of your letter
to the President of October thirteenth. May I assure
ppt
you that your kindness in wishing to present your scrap-
+
books to the President is deeply appreciated.
GS
I am sorry that we cannot arrange for you to
come in and see the President and make the presentation
personally as you request. I know I do not have to ex-
qB
plain to you, however, how exceedingly busy the President
is during these critical war days and how difficult he
is finding it to make engagements of a personal nature.
As & matter of fact, he is seeing only those officials
of the Government working directly on the defense pro-
gram, and has had to delegate to the members of his
secretariat the duty of receiving all gifts on his
behalf.
thousand
I doubt whether you wish to come to Washing-
ton under these circumstances, and suggest that if you
wish to mail your books to the President, you address
them in my care. I shall, of course, be glad to see
that they are brought to his attention, and that you
receive suitable acknowledgment.

This is in acknowledgment of your let-
ter of October third, addressed to Mr. McIntyre.
I regret exceedingly that it will not be pos-
sible for the President to commend the war in-
dustry books, the publication of which you are
considering.
Because of the great number of very
PP7-9-B
meritorious undertakings that are brought to his
attention, it is necessary for the President to
withhold comment or commendation of any kind.
As he has not deviated from this course, I am
sure you will appreciate the difficulty of making
an exception in this instance.
Very sincerely yours,

Mr. Marvin H. McIntyre

Washington, D. C.
My dear Marvin McIntyre:
I think the President's personal inspection of American War Industry, and
the subsequent full and open press release relative to it combined, makes
a historical master-stroke that will be heard instantaineously around the
world.
But we all can rest assured that the President will always do the right thing
at the right time. However, the object of this letter is to see if you can
obtain Presidental help, as Commander in Chief, of a paralleling and, I believe,
important project which we here at Polygraphic are endeavoring to put through
with the cooperation of several outstanding war plants in the various war
industries.
x4675- x4675-miscel.
In close cooperation with such war plants, and of course within the strict
bounds of Censorship Regulations, which are thoroughly established with the
management of each plant, we want to publish a series of fine books, based
upon fresh researched data, for distribution through the regular channels
of the popular book trade.
This particular method of distributing industry story-books, by top Authors
and Illustrators, was successfully developed by our Mr. James Werblow in
cooperation with NBC officials And as part of my urgent request and as an
x136-minal
example, I am sending you under separate cover a copy of "Magic Dials",
which is one of such books with a wide public distribution record. Now
this tried and tested plan and opportunity is available to the cause of
America's war industry.
It seems obvious to me that such books should be made available at the lowest
possible price not only to the public of the United States but, if it were
possible, they should be flown and dropped in the streets of Berlin, Rome
and Tokyo.
The President has now personally blazed the trail of the theme for this pro-
posed series of American war industry books, and his appearance in war pro-
duction photographs, now available in such abundance, creates some of the

impressive illustrations for each book. Also, his tour will create a public
desire for more and still more information, and such a series of carefully
prepared books, within the censorship regulations, forms a natural sequence
to the press story of his historical tour of inspection.
The management groups we have contacted during the past four months hesitate
to give their word of acceptance to the necessary cooperation on their part.
They seem to feel they might be held in the eyes of Washington as seeking
publicity of their war efforts, even though they want to and know that every
word and illustration would be censored by public officials.
Just a word of approval in a letter from the President, expressing his own
personal opinion about these proposed war industry books, would be the in-
centive that would start this important work immediately, and thereby make
it possible for the public to obtain such books early in 1943.
I hope it might be possible for you to obtain some help for me in this matter.
Sincerely yours,
C. Ray Cooper

Dear Mr President;
I am sending you a copy of a book
which, I believe will be of interest, It is called
"Chorus For America" and is by six Filipino writers
and edited by Carlos Bulosan, one of the six, who has
just sold to the Saturday Evening Post an article called
FREEDOM FROM WANT and gained also a five year contract
to write for them.
It includes a Poem "Like The Molave"
which as Pres.Quezon will testify, was required reading in
the Philippine Public Schools ,prior to the louse invasion!
(Also this poem took a $ 5000.00 prize two years ago.)
We have done up 10 copies in a Philippine
woven straw called "buri" and have done up 3 of these in
special folders for yourself, Mrs Roosevelt, and Pres.
Quezon with your names in silhouette brass. (The brass was
purchased prior to priorities!) It is one of these that

I feel that the literate section of our group of
Philippine citizens ,should be encouraged. (And this
chap Bulosan is indeed encouraged by his new "Post" contract.
Hence, if one of your secretaries could find time to
drop him a note of appreciation( the Introduction by him, is
worth your reading ) to him, and through him, to the other boys
I would be deeply appreciative. (One of thse boys is possibly
dead now, as he was in Bataan at the time of captures)
I trust that you find this book a memento of the kind which
you would care to addto your collection.
I remain- with cordial appreciation of your vision and
leadership
Most Sincerely
Haven Parher
Pres. L.A. Chinese Culture Society
Mgr. for Wagon and Star- Publishers
Mr Barlos Bulosan may be reached best through me, just now.
PS If you know of anyone who would be especially pleased
to own the book ,either in regular binding or the
"buri", please let me know. (we hope to eventually
present one to Gen, Douglas MacArthur, as we hear that
he abandoned an 8000 book library when he left the
Islands.)

Dear Mr. President:
I am past 70 years of age and a great grandmother. I have
seen much sorrow in my day and have experienced many bitter dis-
appointments during my lifetime. However, the greatest grief
that could come to me is the suffering imposed by the ruthless
aggressors on the land of my forefathers. I speak, of course,
particularly of Poland.
It is very comforting that this nation has at its head a
man who unselfishly pours out his heart to the stricken people of
the battered lands and gives them the assurance of brighter days to
come as you have done on numerous occasions. It is in grateful
recognition of this that I humbly request you to accept a token of
appreciation, ich I am sending you under separate cover, on
behalf of all Americans of Polish descent.
It has been my hobby to attempt to preserve for all pos-
terity the costumes of the land which my forefathers loved so
much. This has been possible by dressing dolls in the colorful
costumes of the many provinces of Poland. To date I have
dressed more than 80 of these dolls, many of which have been
raffled for the benefit of the soldiers in this war. A set of
16 dolls has been presented to the museum in this city as well as
to the museum belonging to the Polish Women's Alliance of Chicago.
I feel that it is only fair that you, Mr. President, should
have a pair of these dolls in the White House as a reminder that
all Americans of Polish descent are grateful to you for the hope
and encouragement you have offered many times in behalf of Poland.
The dolls I am sending you represent a dancing pair, dressed
in the gay festival costumes worn in happier days in the city of
After the dolls arrive, should you feel that they would be
of sufficient interest to the people of Washington, I am ready
and willing to also present a pair of dolls to the Smithsonian
Institute.
In humble gratefulness, I am

Dear Mr. Hassett:
Please accept our thanks and appreciation for your cooperation
in delivering one of our Rayolite targets, a rifle and a pistol,
to the White House. We have received an acknowledgment from
Grace G. Tully so apparently it is a fully concluded matter.
You might also thank Mr. Frank Murray for his friendly assistance
if you have a convenient opportunity.
We told the White House electrician, Mr. Nolan, that we would
send him an extra light cartridge for the pistol and for the
rifle so that if a light burned out in either he could slip the
new cartridge in without bothering to do any focusing of the new
bulb. Mr. Nolan will then return the burned out light to us for
replacement. We are sending these two cartridges directly to
you and would appreciate your handing them to Mr. Nolan.
Yours truly,
PHOEBUS CORPORATION
