 Then, with no one else to work for, the state would be our only master, and the permanent unem- ployed would be in concentration camps. When you vote in November, make your vote mean that it cannot happen here."

PLANS STUDIED
 FOR EVACUATION
Big U. s. Liners Being Contracted for to Rush
 Americans Home

(Unlted Press Stan COrrcSpOnQentD
 Washington, Oct. 11.-(UP)-The United States studied plans today for evacuating Americans from the Far East after series of moves de- signed to prepare the country for any eventuality.
 Maritime commission officials re- vealed that they and State Depart ment officials would negotiate with representatives of the United States Lines for the use of the largest lin- CTS of the merchant fleet to bring Americans home from Asia.
 President John M. Franklin of the U. s. Lines and associates are here to discuss plans for using the liners Manhattan and Washington and possibly the America, the larg- est passenger vessel ever built in this country.
 Most of the developments related to the crisis in the Far East, but all were part of the pattern followed by this government recently to match each new move by Japan in Asia and by Germany and Italy in Europe.
 Before President Roosevelt left last night for a defense inspection tour, he conferred with Hull and Undersecretary Sumner Welles, pre- Sumably on Far Eastern problems. That conference came at the end of day during which:
 President Roosevelt ''froze" ap- proximately $100,00O, 900 in Ruman- ian funds in this country. Similar moves protect Norwegian, Belgian, French, Dutch, Luxembourg. Lith- uanian, Latvian and Esthonian funds in this country.
 The State Department cancelled the export license on a shipment of. 10 military planes consigned to Thailand (Siam). Officials fear that they might reach Japan against which a moral" embargo on air. planes has been in effect for more than a year. The planes had got- ten as far as the Philippines, en route to Thailand.
 Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox called 23 battalions of the marine corps reserve to active duty Nov. [.
 It was learned In New York that American- built dive bombs and pur. suit ships ordered originally by Sweden will be released to the Brit ish Royal Air Force.
 4 Navy Department spokesman revealed that the navy has ample stocks Of live ammunition to sup- port the fleet in major engagements indefinitely.
 The moves attracting the most at. lentien were these dedened Co strengthen defen6es in the Pacific where many believe an emergency is developing.

New England Lost Out. hi New Deal WilIkie
Caused Idle Factories, Candidate Claims in Mass. N Talks Major Speech in Boston Tonight

New England factories have been idle.
 "The New Deal believes in spend- ing. In that 1t has broken all rec ords. By the time the New Deal goes out of office next January it will have spent $71 900 100000 which is two fifths of all the money spent by the United States government since 1789.
 "Let's .ook fer a minute at how some of this money has been spent in various parts of our country. Up here in Massachusetts last year the New Deal expenditures amounted to $33 per person. That is what they spent. But in that same year the federal government in Massachu- sets amounted to $37 for every man, internal revenue collections of the woman and child. They collected in internal revenue taxes from you people of Massachusetts, $4 apiece more than they spent.
 Now, contrast this with what hap pened in some other states in the same year. In alabama the New Deal spent $34 pc rcapita and it col- 1ected in internal revenue taxes, $5 per capita. In Arkansas the New Deal spent last year $40 per capita and the internal revenue collections were less than one tenth of that. In Mississippi per capita, expenditures oof the New Dela were $41, and in- ternal revenue tax collections were only $3. That other $38 that was spent in Mississippi over and above taxes collected in Mississippi came out of your pockets here in Massa- chusetts.
 And that is one reason why your factories up here in New England are idle while new factories that compete with you are being built in Mississippi, Arkansas and Alabama.
 "The' rolicy of the New Deal has been divide and rule. It has pitted class against class and section against section. In spending your money it has favored other sections of the country at your expense. And it does this not to promote indus trial production, but ot promote po- litical profit. And worst of all, it dose this at a time when as the third term candidate said at Chica- mauga month ago, our essential

 with Willkie Motorcade in Massa- chusetts, oct. 11.--(UP) -Republi- can Presidential nominee Wendell L. Willkie told audiences in Mass achusetts factory towns today that the New Deal had favored some sections of the country at the ex- pense of others, causing "idle New England factories.
 Coming into Massachusetts, from Rhode Island, where, at Providence last night, he charged that the reelection of President Roosevelt might mean concentration camps for the unemployed, the candidate began his days campaign at New Bedford at 8:45'a. m.
 He speaks in Fall River at 10 a.. m., in Taunton at Il a. m. in Brockton at 12:O6 D. m. Te lunches in West Boston, speaks from the city hall steps of Lynn at 3:15 p. m., leads a parade through down town Boston at AIS p. m. and de- flyers major speech in Boston to- night.
 Excerpts from his Fall River River speech were released in ad- vance of delivery and it was under stood they provided the theme of the speeches he will make in the other factory towns where there are many unemployed.
 At Fall River, he said:,
 You people here in New England live in a great industrial region. You are interested in seeing indus trial expansion. You want to see more production because you know that, that is the only way we can have more jobs.
 Last night, speaking in Provi- dence I showed that the New Deal does not believe in production. The third term candidate told us eight years ago, when he was running for his first term, that Americas industrial plants were all built.
 You people know what has been the effect of this New Deal phil osophy. You have seen it reflected in your idle factories.
 "No, the New Deal does not be- Ieve in industrial expansion. But there is something it does believe in that helps explain, why you

 Before an audience officially es- timated at approximately 3O,0O0 at Narragansett race track at Provi- dence, R. T., last night, Willkie reit- erated his promise to provide jobs for all the unemployed and charged that the New Dealers believe there is no future for America.

Zenith
By Scott, Sam Alban and

Zenith, Americas oldest COM
pany making radios only, pre-
sent a great new feature in their
1941 models-the Radiogran. A
tone control arrangement that
with it's six organ stops enables
one to take the conductors ba-
ton, permits the most brilliant
and beautiful tone combinations
imaginable.
The listener may have as
much treble and as much bass
as he wants, or as little of each
as he wants to hear, just the
way one happens to enjoy voices
and music. 1t is operated by
simply pulling out or pushing in
the "organ stops" just as an or
ganist does. A total of "a tone
combinations is obtainable with
this arrangement.
Zenith leads again in table and
chair-side model styling. Cab
met models are styled in Hep
plewhite which harmonizes with
the furnishings of today's
homes.
An outstanding number of

15-minute programs starring at
3:15 p. M, EST, and both will
originate at Boys Town itself,
eleven miles west of Omaha.
The first, known as "Boys
Town Broadcasting," featured
the boys themselves in a per-
sonalized portrait showing what
their home is like. There was
the band, and the same choir
that appeared in the motion pic
ture, and interviews among the
boys on their sports, hobbies,
studies and unique self-govern-
ment. On the programs one of
the youngsters, will act as a
rapid-fire radio commentator in
a news feature called Breezy
Bits From Boys Town.
The boys program will be fol-
lowed at $3.50 p. M, EST by the
appearance of Father Flanagan
himself at the microphone. The
celebrated priest, whose village
for boys was legally incorpor-
ated in 1886, will act in the role
of a radio counselor answering
child problems sent to him by
parents. The names of the chill
dren and the parents will re-
main anonymous.
Boys Town is the result of
plan of caring for homeless boys,
set up by Father Flanagan in
1917. 1t is an actual village in
which the citizenry is composed
of boys between the ages of six
and eighteen, who administer
the business of the community.
The broadcast series will show
how the municipality, complete
with mayor and six commission
ers, is governed.
Father Flanagan was born in
Roscommon, Ireland, came to
America as a youth to take up
religious studies, then went
abroad for further training and
was ordained to the priesthood
in Austria in 1912. A year later,
in Omaha, he opened a shelter
for destitute men, calling it the
Workingmen's Hotel. Four
years later he turned his atten-
tion to the welfare needs of
boys, establishing Father Flan-
agan's Boys Home with assets
of only 500. He became promin-
ent in national welfare circles
as a result of the venture.
