arred Candidates Agree One Pon-a Rest After the Turmoil
Aspirants Wave Hats,
Pump Hands, Beam
To Order on Delegates
Teehniques Muy Very,
But Ambitions Don't,
In Philadelphia
BY the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, June 26.-The
hardest working men in Philadel-
phia are those seeking the Repub-
hcan presidential nomination.
One and all, they are up early
and late, pumping delegates hands,
. beaming before crowds, waving hats
And they all agree that, regardless
of who is nominated, they will take
good rest the first thing after the
convention.
Wendell l.. Willkie, for example,
usually starts his day with break
fast at 5 am. with group of sup
porters. Then he goes to his cramped
headquarters for a series of con-
ferences with delegates.
Lunch Usually a Sandwich
If unscheduled groups sometimes
arrive, he make a short talk and
answers questions. Occasionally he
tries to slip away for private lunch
cons and dinners, but more often
he munches a sandwich in his hotel
room.
After sending his Office staff home
about midnight, the New Yorker
visits around" for another hour
or so.
CHARTERED in the same hotel with
Mr.. Willkie. Senator Robert A. Taft
of Ohio confines his activities to
quiet conferences with delegates.
When callers are numerous, he is
shunted from one room to another
by his younger brother, Charles
Taft, who is assisting him in his
campaign. Senator Taft doesn't
take time out for meals, having
them sent to his headquarters in
stead. He makes it particular
point to avoid claims about delegate
strength.
Mrs. Taft Beams.
Contrasting with the Senator's
quiet, conversational technique is
the vivacious 'glad-to-meet-you"
approach of Mrs. Taft, his head
quarters host.
With never-fading smile, Sena-
tor Arthur H. Vandenberg of Michi-
gan greets visitors in his 12-room
suite-bigger than Mr. Wilkes but
smaller than Senator Tafts. 1t in

Arthur jr: his manager, Howard

AS he strides through his head
quarters the Senator carries big
cigar in one hand and gestures with
the other to emphasize his state
ments.

Sticks Close to Rooms.
Mr. Dewey has remained close to
his hotel suite, interviewing dele
gates and other visitors for hours at
a stretch. The only variation from
that program came when he attend
ed breakfast with the Illinois dele
cation.
L couldn't get the delegation into
my rooms he explained.
One of the early risers is Senator
styles Bridges of New Hampshire,
who is up and about by am. A
delegate, he hustles between Con-
rention Hall and his headquarters
and keeps in touch with his oppo-
nents. He has paid a courtesy

AS the industrial end of the Ma
tons defense program thus was
snagged in controversy, President
Roosevelt late yesterday announced
an advance in the direction of per-
sonnel training.
Drawing on experience of the
World War period, the Chief Execu-
tive told q press conference that
enlistments of 5000 young candi-
dates for posts in the Naval Re-
serve would begin Friday. Starting

by 90-day shore course.
19 to IS Age Limit Set.
At the end of the first phase of
the training, the men would be
eligible for appointment as reserve
midshipmen: at the end OF the sec
ond. they would be eligible for COM
missions as reserve ensigns.
Applicants must be between l9
and 26 years of age, unmarried and
have two years of college educa-
ton.
The President was to discuss other
phases of the n-combatant train
ing program in conference this
afternoon with Sidney Hillman of
the Defense Commission and Secre-
tary of Commerce Hopkins. Mr.
Hopkins drafted much of the pre-
liminary part of the non-combat
training plan, with its later stages
being turned over to Mr.. Hillman S
direction.
Three battleships are to be made
available for the first part of the
Naval Reserve training program. the
President said yesterday
The embryo officers will be given

ern man-o'-war and will inculcate
these young men with the elements
of discipline. team work, loyalty. en-
durance and technical skill, which
are the foundations of the naval
excellence of the fleet"
Mr.. Roosevelt referred to the naval
training program as one segment of
comprehensive training plan for
the entire Nation, thus far only
voluntary. but with universal draft
being under study.
Survey Being Made.
Fitting into this broad program.
he continued. is survey now being

The Chief Executive took occasion
at his press conference to express
his approval of proposed trade-in
of 20 torpedo-armed Navy motor
launches, transaction blocked by
a ruling of the Attorney General
that the subsequent sale of the YES
sells to Great Britain would be illegal.
From a defense standpoint, Mr..
Roosevelt said, it would have been
a good trade. the ships to be re-
placed next fall by newer models.

Ing in China.)

Arita replied that he was not |
able to make public all the 900
incidents in China of which Grew |
had complained as having been |
against American interests.
He disclosed he was "emphasiz-
ing" to Russia the Importance of
ceasing assistance to China.
Arita told questioners that it
would be difficult to declare a
war against the Chinese govern
ment and at the same time recog-
nize the regime which Japan pro-
poses to set up in occupied terri
tory.
Leaders Acceptable
Earlier Admiral Yonai had said
Japan was willing to accept Chi
nese government leaders, even
Generalissimo Chang Kai-Shek,
into this regime.
His statement was based on the
possibility that the government
might disintegrate due to under
mining by the proposed central
China government" which is to
function in Japanese-occupied ter
ritory under Wang Ching-Wei,
dissident Chinese leader.
Members of the Chinese govern
ment would be accepted as indi-
,viduals, Yonai said.
Threat Voiced
Previously, the position of the
Japanese government had been,
presumably that it would not deal
with the Chinese government and
particularly with Generalissimo
Chang even in an individual
capacity.
Admiral Yonai said also that the
foreign concessions in China should
be conducted lin accordance with
the spirit of Japan's new order
in East Asia" and that if foreign
powers "wilfully obstruct japanese
progress in China, the japanese
government will take a determined
attitude"

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

In Germany during the first
World War there grew up a strong
desire to make peace. In 1916 and
1917 many Germans began to cry
out to put an end to the fearful
warfare.
When Hitler was wounded and
taken to q Munich hospital in 1916
he learned . good deal about the
moves for peace. After his wound
was healed he went back to the
trenches. He hated those who were
working to end the war as dcrcely
as he hated the enemy.
At that time Germany was not
being invaded. German troops had
swept through Belgium and thou
sands Of square miles in Northern
France were in their hands. The
cry for peace was due in large part
to the hunger of people at home.
