Projects By lh AsaorlatH Pre WASHINGTON, Feb. 7 rians for a reservoir of public works projects, to be held in readiness to absorb defense workers once the present emergency ends, were initiated today by President Roosevelt. Workers by the thousands have been given jobs turning out weapons of war, and the President told a press conference that the Administration was trying to guard against what might happen to them when the fighting ends. Congress will be asked, the President said, to authorize all types of works projects hospitals, housing, airports, roads with emphasis on those that will give the Government a chance to get back some of its capital investment.

For Use When Needed These projects, Mr. Roosevelt said, will be put on shelf and pulled out when they are reeded. Immediately after his press conference, he talked over the part highway construction would take in the program with Thomas Mac-Donald, Federal roads commissioner. He discussed the program also with William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor. who called at the White House to urge that the National Re sources Planning Board consider Immediately the matter of sup plying work, when the emergency ia over, for men engaged now on defense fforts.

Winant, who conferred with the President today, probably would leave for England, where he will be the new United States ambassador, in about 10 days.

Gives Views on Union Winant, asked by the White House newsmen what he thought of the idea of a union between Britain and the United States, said, "I think some day we will have to reach out farther than just the two countries, to Include other demo' cratic countries. I have thought we would have collaboration on a wider scale." But he explained that he did not wish to create any impression that he was advocating a British-American union.

Mr. Roosevelt joshed the reporters about getting "mugged" and fingerprinted for new Identification cards which will allow them to enter the White House. The reporters proposed that the cards be honored at all executive agencies of the Government so that they would not have to obtain individual cards for each department. Mr. Roosevelt said he thought that was a grand idea and instructed a secretary to take up the question.
