 There has come to this office a pamphlet called "The Man Behind the Men Behind the President published at Chicago. It is an attack on Professor Felix Frankfurter. of liar yard University, of the Presidents infor- nal advisers It attacks him directly as a Communist and purveyor of alien philoso- phies" and by innuendo as "a Jew from the Ghetto" This is the sort of campaign litera- ture" against which the American people should be warned emphatically. The publish CTS have the effrontery to use the Liberty Bell as the trademark" on their pamphlet.
 This newspaper has opposed many of MT. Roosevelt's policies, believing they are unwise and unsound. But it's opposition is based on the public policies themselves which have come from the White House It has never questioned the sincerity and honesty of the President nor has it suggested that he is a victim of Communist advisers who seek their inspiration in Europe
 There is ample ground for opposing the New Deal on the basis of how its policies are working. Sober, honest men may differ as to whether MT. Roosevelt or MT Landon repre- sents the sort of leadership and policy they prefer. This is the plane on which the cam paign should be conducted-the wisdom or unwisdom of public policies identified with the two party groups
 There is no place in this campaign or in American life for underhanded surrepttious slurs There is no place for anti-Semitsm or any other sort of racial hatred in this country of equality and freedom. Such ganizations as that which published "The Man Behind the Men Behind the President" are traitors to the spirit of America. They are fomenting hate and distrust where there should be honest inquiry and candid discus sion For them innuendo and scandal are better than argument That is not the Ameri- can way to deal with public affairs.
 There is no place in this campaign, as the E. uirer states, nor any other for that matter, f nasty, underhanded stabs in the back built on i uendo and scanda-mongering, It makes no di erence if a person is seeking election as Preside If the United States or dog catcher in the thi yard in Sleepy Hollow, he is entitled to fair al mpertia hearing and the attack from those oppo ng should be straightforward and. above board IT no dictator dominated nation with strong -ar orces skulking in the alleys.

DR.. Dafoe Says !. Five
Dionne Babies In
Best Health of Their
Whole Lives

Calender, Ontario, May 28.-(AP)-
The Dionne Gilintuplets came to their
second birthday anniversary today
with only a brief celebration, to be
held tonight, and that apparently
without their parents.
Except for a half hour before the
radio tonight (from $50 to o'clock
p. M, eastern standard time), during
which the program directors hoped
the five famous girls would COO and
tap at the proper moment for an in
ternational hook-up, there was no de-
Walton. from the routine from the
Dafoe hospital.
1t seemed very doubtful that the
parents of the children would attend
the celebration.
To Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe the ques-
tion of singing and dancing for a
radio audience wasn't as important as
the facts and figures that prove the
continuing good health of his charges.
The physician said the children
were better health than ever today.
