Politics.,
Ed. Replies

HYDE PARK, N. y
President Roosevelt today ac-
cused Wendell l.. Willkie of
seeking to make political
capital out of the bill to draft
American msnpower for nat
ional defense.
Speaking at a press con-
ference, the president said
Willkie was attempting to
draw him into a political dis
cussion by challenging him to
declare whether he is for or
against the Overton-Russell
amendment to the draft bill.
Refusing to comment on
the amendment, Roosevelt
said his opponent simply
wanted to involve him in a
political argument.
He suggested acknowledge
ing that as fact and stop
ping there.
Accusing Willkie Of poIiti-
cal motives In his denuncia-
ton Of the amendment, Roose-
welt invoked what ne said was
q rule he has followed since
he first came 10 the presi-
dency In 1888. That rule, ne
said. IL that the president
does not comment on legisia-
ton or amendments while the
Legislation is pending In con-
gress.
The rule. said the president, pre-
cludes any comment by him on
the Overton Russell amendment.
He added his charges that the
entire matter was brought up by
his opponents in an effort to make
political capital.
Roosevelt placed his en-
dorsement on the acceptance
speech OF Henry A. Wallace,
In which his running mate
accused the Republican party
of representing the appease-
ment party In the United
States.
He was asked specifically
whether he concurs In Wallace's
charge. That question, he said.

ton of man power in peace
time would be "a distinct and
dangerous DEPARTURE first
step that would inevitably lead
to proposals to ''conscript the
farmers, conscript industry,
conscript labor to run industry
and conscript the wealth Of
the nation"
The proposal, 1t added,
typfies a military economy,
"even a military Dictatorship"
Five of the eight signatories
were members who voted yester-
day to report the bill favorably.
The minority report was filed as
Committee Chairman Andrew j.
May asked the house rules COM
mittee to approve the draft
measure for debate beginning next
Tuesday.

mittee members to ask for two
days general debate-in contrast
to the senate's land to leave
the bill open for amendments.

sometime Friday. so it could go 70
conference with the senate the
following week.
Five Of the signers Of the

Of war and navy to seize and oper-
ate any manufacturing plant or
facility necessary for the national
defense whenever the secretary is
unable to reach an agreement with
the owner for its use or operation

Willlxie charged that the
amendment would give the
president absolute and arbi-
trary control Of virtually the
entire economic system"
He described II as startling,
revolutionary, means Of
sovietixing American enter
prise, and another step
toward what took place In

SAYS WALLACE WRONG
When he was asked for COM
ment on Wallace's charges, Will
kie said:
There can't be anything more
wrong than 100 per cent wrong,
can there?
Mr.. Wallace is a fine gentle
man. That's my only comment"
willkie said he was pleased that
the military CONSUMPTION bill had
been passed by the senate. and
he said he hoped the house would
expedite action on the measure.
