President Roosevelt's sees doom of trailer families in this country. Washington, D.C., March 29. Scenes like this at the Washington trailer camp, within a stone's throw of the Washington Monument, will soon be a thing of the past, was the belief President Roosevelt expressed to reporters at his press conference yesterday. He said sooner or later the government is going to demand and require that everybody in the bounds of the United States have a home address somewhere - and that there be an end of the trailer type of families, gypsies, hoboes and migratory drifters who flock by the thousands to such sunny climes as Florida and California without the slightest idea as how they are going to live when they arrive. 3-29-39
