tragedy of world conditions and our
present precariouS position in re-
lation to them even more apparent.
Had the President not then also
been a candidate for reelection, he
might have done better than merely
send up verbal trial balloons to
see how the popular emotion ran
toward foreign events. He could
have given an effective leadership
then that would have saved us from
what the Secretary of State now
calls the gravity of the present
situation
Even without raising interna-
tional questions, or making domestic
issues out of questions OF foreign
policy, the President, who is now
candidate for the third term, could
have adjusted our internal economy
to the recovery level essential TO
support a program of adequate ma
tional defense, and could have done
it without disturbing his purely
political interests.

however, Secretary Hulls picture of
world crisis since 1888 makes even

Cause for Concern.
Certainly those directly and in
directly affected by the recent regis
tration for conscription-especially
the mothers. fathers, wives and
other relatives of all those lads who
were required to register-have
cause for concern that our national
defense program was not begun
five years ago, at the time of Sec
retary Hulls pointed warning"
Mr.. Hulls summary, Mr.. Willkie
declared, has entitled the American
people TO seek a solution for their
own crisis in national leadership"
Mr.. Willkie spent Sunday, on his
way West from New York, working
on plans for the final week of his
presidential campaign. He rerouted
his train to visit one of his advisers,
Representative Halleck, Republican,
of Indiana at the latter's home town
of Rensselaer,, Ind, early in the
evening. 1t was Mr.. Halleck who
placed Mr.. WILKES name before
the Republican convention.
The two men discussed campaign
arrangements, and then Mr.. and
Mrs. Willkie visited Mrs. Halleck in
a hospital where she is i'll with
pneumonia.
Mr.. Willkie had made tentative
plans to attend church at Mingo
Junction, but he was suffering from
a slight cold and his physician ad-
vised against leaving the train.
Housing Program Criticized.
During the afternoon the nominee
gave out a statement declaring that
the New Deal housing program has
begged down" because he said, it
was 'paralyzed by maze of red
tape"
Mr. Willkie argued that there has
been faulty administration and "a
lack of frankness on the part of the
New Deal in failing to admit the
real extent of Federal slum clear
ance subsidies"
Thirteen Federal agencies ham
ding various housing problems, he
contended, compete with and even
fight each other, to the detriment
of housing as a whole"
The nominee proposed that these
agencies be correlated and that any
overlapping be removed.

 The Capitol is under the heavi- est guard in years. Although visi- tors are not asked for identifica- ton, the least suspicious actions or the carrying of dangerous look ing packages is likely to result in polite but firm questioning.
 In front of the Capitol, where the great inaugural stand is be- ing constructed for the event of January 20, there's constant day and night guard. The construction work and the Capitol, from sub basement to dome, are searched almost daily.
 Nobody here is pooh-poohing this vigilance but it certainly is not being duplicated at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue. The White House grounds. closed a few weeks ago, again are open to visi-

The 1886 Republican presidential
nominee issued a statement attack
ing Mr.. Hull's charges.
when Secretary Of State Hull
speaks about ignorance in foreign
marks to persons a little closer to
home, who seem to have a habit of
messing up his policies as Secretary
Of State" said Mr. Landon.
Instead of rebuking others, Mr..
Hull might rebuke some of the
members of his own administration,
including his chief, who talked of
these momentous questions in an
off hand, casual and confusing way"
The former Kansas Governor said
that contentious Of Henry A. Wal

Wright, attractive 26-year-old secre-

ician, used right hook that Toni

an attack by two men who stole into
the physicians home.
She told Detectives John Friel and
Fred Kesel that when she entered a
darkened room last night she felt
something sharp against her throat
and heard a man say: Get back
over there"
The detectives said Miss Wright
gave this account:
With knife at her throat she
was forced into a corner of the room
and pushed to her knees by one man
who ordered her to disrobe. As he
ripped the belt from her dress she
swung a punch that staggered her
assailant.
1T was a right hook that Tommy
Loughran taught me one time in a
playful mood" she said. 1T almost
floored him and gave me a chance
to run into the lighted hallway and

Rehabilitation of our domestic
economy is the front-line trench of
any defense program" Mr.. Willkie
told reporters last night.
Defense today consists of mech
anized things, all of which are made
by production. The reason Germany
is stronger than England-if she is,
and prNy God she is not-is that
she was producing.
IF you elect me President of the
United States I shall bring to the
Government the ablest production
men in America, and I will create of
them an independent agency to deal
with the defense problem ably and
adequately
In criticism of President Roose-
velt's third-term effort, Mr.. Willkie
said:
IF you re-elect this administra-
ton, I predict you will have four
more years of depression"
He declared that the Roosevelt
administration has been on the
most drunken orgy Of spending that
ever occurred in the history of the
world" and said

diamonds. didn't spend pennies COM
