Lewis\nphiladelphia. PA.\nADDRESS REPLY TO:\n1512 Fox Building\nFranklin Delano Roosevelt,\nMarch 13, 1942\nPresident of the United States,\nWashington, D. C.\nDear Mr. President:\nEnclosed herewith is an autographed copy of the book\nKEY TO A NEW AMERICA and one of the numerous newspaper articles that\nhave been published lately concerning the plan set forth in the book.\nI have hesitated to send you a copy of this book until I found how the\npublic were re-acting to the plan.\nMany expressions concerning the feasibility and possi-\nbilities of the plan from some of our country's leading engineers and\nmen who are highly respected, as well as from the general public, have\nbeen sent to me and I thought it was only right to send you a copy as\nthis Administration has been mentioned so often in the book. Several\nDepartments of the Government have requested copies of the book, in-\ncluding the Social Security Board, the Office of Production Management\nand the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, so rather than have some one give\nyou an incomplete \"picture\" of the plan I thought it was better to send\nyou the complete plan and what information I had concerning it, personally.\nThe uppermost thoughts in our minds today are those of\nproduction and plans as to how we can win this war as soon as possible.\nAfter the war- what? The plan suggested in the book will\nanswer this question and I believe you will be interested in it more than\nany one else as the leader of our country and many other places in the\nworld.\nAs an industrial engineer my work takes me into a good\nmany defense plants, doing all I can to speed up production. While making\nmy rounds several defense workers asked me a question which you, also, may\nhave been asked- if not you have perhaps wondered why there has not been\nmore speed in our defense industry- \"Why should we speed up production\nand work ourselves out of a job by finishing the war in a hurry?\"\nI am glad to say I do not believe all the men in defense\nindustries and the men in military service have the thoughts that the men\nhave who ask that question, but because they do not ask the question and\nthey do their duty as a true American citizen that is all the more reason\nwhy we should give them something to look forward to, if we can.\nThe above question is logical and one that is usually\nanswered by saying that \"after the war people will be in need of so many\nthings they have given up, during the war, such as automobiles, tires, new\nradios and other now necessities that there will be a continuous boon\nafter the war.\"\nPage 2- Franklin Delano Roosevelt:\nman and can engineers look that such a boon will not follow this practical people working\nYou and I know, as well as many other\na short time. history began, has been followed by a repeats itself,\nevery war, since forward to having a steady job.

This offer will not be used in any\nway as an advertising medium, or for publicity.\nEnclosed we are submitting a copy of the patent claims on which\nthe patents were granted, also a number of letters from the\npeople who have used them.\nThe principle involved in our mattress has been carefully checked\nfrom the standpoint of physical and electrical phenomena, and\nhas proved to be of a decidedly beneficial nature. The output\nand general characteristics of the mattress are such, as is also\nits construction, that the human body which reposes on the\nmattress should be the safety-valve; in other words, the body\nwould act as a condenser for the airrent which will only pass\nwhen the body is within the di-electrical field of the conductors\ncontained in the mattress itself.

The enclosed copy of a letter to Mr. Hender-\nson explains my misgivings.\nIt is my hope that differences in costs due to differences\nin quality can be provided for from the outset should price-\nceilings become necessary on dried fruits.\nSincerely\nB/JL\nohn Leonard, Lemard X\nP.O.

BOX 179\nSANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA\nApril 16, 1942\nHon. Leon Henderson, Administrator\nOffice of Price Administration,\nWashington, D.C.\n(TRUE COPY OF ORIGINAL letter)\nDear Mr. Henderson,\nOver a long period of years I have been building up an unincorp-\norated family-size business in extra quality dried apricots and\ndried prunes. I operate efficiently, but since I put more value\nin the box, my cost of production is substantially higher than\nthat of ordinary commercial packs. Dr. W. B. Cruess, Head of\nthe California Fruit Products Laboratory, University of Calif-\nornia, Berkeley knows me personally and is familiar with my\nplant, methods, and products. I refer you to him.\nAsk any housewife for her evaluation of dirty dried fruit. Ask\nany soldier, or any Englishman, what he thinks of the standard\ncommercial prunes he has had recently.\nI am sending you a 25-1b. box of my prunes, and a 5-1b. carton\nof my sulphured apricots. Please have some prepared in your own\nhome. If convenient, give some to friends for their comment.\nTurn the balance over to some food agency you trust for further\ntesting. Have them secure a sample of Army-ration prunes, and\na sample of the best 30/40 French (variety) prunes on sale in\nWashington. Their report on the comparative taste, texture, and\ncleanness both before and after cooking on the three lots will\nstate my case cogently.\nI have been in the dried fruit business in California for over\nforty years. In 1941 I dried over 1,200 tons of apricots---\nprobably the largest single output in the state. Most of the\nfruit was prepared without sulphur dioxide for use in manufact-\nuring baby food. This is a new product I have pioneered since\n1930. Commercial packs, which are sulphured heavilly, do not\nearn American Medical Association approval for this important\nuse.\nIf price-ceilings are established which fail to recognize my\nextra quality (and the extra costs incurred to produce it), I\nwill be crushed financially and my useful products will be lost.\nWith government policy so strongly in favor of fruit-drying\nas a substitute for canning, I am sure you will not place\nprice-ceilings in such a manner that experienced producers of\nsound products are bankrupted at a time when their experience\nand output is most needed.\nONE, SANTA CLARA 461\nRES., 167 HOMESTEAD ROAD\nRAPHIC ADDRESS, SAN JOSE\nCUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA\nJOHN LEONARD\nFruit Grower and Packer\nP. O. BOX 179\nSANTA clara, CALIFORNIA\n- 2 -\nI developed my packing operations as a supplement to my growing\noperations because I could not make a living, doing business with\nthe major packers controlling the California Dried Fruit Assoc-\niation (a trade association, not a co-operative). I would\nscarcely expect any recommendations of theirs to be in my int-\nerests on the matter of price-ceilings. The fruit that has gone\nto England and the Army can certainly be sold cheaper than the\ngoods I sent you. I have complete cost schedules for several\nyears back which guided me in establishing my selling prices.\nLast year I sold prunes like the sample at 10¢ FOB San Jose.\nApricots were 27d. I shipped the Beech-Nut Packing Company of\nCanajoharie, New York over two million pounds of top quality\nfruit for use in baby food. They packed it in glass without\nsugar. I ship a dry pack to which no water has been added.\nSuch a program certainly helps on sugar, tin, and transportation.\nThe samples will arrive shortly via prepaid railway express.\nPlease have the tests run off immediately. I hope the report\nwill be on your desk within 48 hours.\nI have condensed this letter SO much that my explanation may\nbe inadequate on certain points. I will be glad to elaborate\nby letter, or go over it here with any local representative\nyou name. I appreciate your difficulties from lack of general\nbrevity. I hope you will appreciate the potential injustice\nof over-simplified price-ceilings on quality producers of sound\nfood items.\nSincerely,\nB/JL\nJohn Leonard, Yonard\nP.O.
