- WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—(U.P.)—Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt today urged passage of the Wagner-Rogers bill to admit European refugee children under 14 years old, at the rate of not more than 10,000 a year during the next two years. "It seems to be a wise way to do a humanitarian thing. England, France, and the Scandinavian countries are admitting their share, and I think we should also do so," she said.
