Iation he desired for defense pur-

Instead of fulfilling by foresight
and strong leadership the needs of
our essential national defense" the
Republican nominee continued, he

Cites Defense Delays.
To his Charleston audience Mr.
Willkie painted a word picture of
the President delaying the sart of
defense preparation for several
years. while the dictators of Europe
were moving ahead.
AS a specific illustration, he told
the West VirginianS that Americas
need for a two-ocean Navy has been
delayed because the Roosevelt ad-
ministration was slow to see the
necessity of reopening the Govern
ment armor plate plant near Char
lesion.
Mr.. Willkie reminded his audi
ence that as late as last June the
President told Congress that it
might as well go home, there was
nothing more for it to do. After that
time, he pointed out, Congress
passed the military training bill, the
legislation to provide for tax amor
tization of emergency plant construc-
ton and defense funds totaling
seven billion dollars.
No Valid Alibi.
He asserted that the New Deal
offers the remarkable excuse that
public sentiment would not have
supported a defense program prior
to the invasion of the Low Coun-
tries.
That alibi." he said, lis not a
valid alibi for failure. 1t is the kind
of alibi that got all the European
democracieS into trouble. Yes. that
alibi has been made in other lands.
1t was used by the Chamberlain
government in England"
Mr.. Willkie denied sharply that he
has been me tooing" the President
on aid to Britain.
My position on aid to Britain
has been clear and firm from the
beginning of this campaign" he
said If there is any difference of
opinion between the third term
candidate and me on that point. it
is that I want to place behind
Britain the industrial organization
of a revitalized. and fully operating
America. l do not want to send
troops and Britain neither needs
nor wants troops. Britain wants
our industrial production. And that
is what I propose to get moving so
that our effective aid to Britain
shall not be limited to a few old
destroyers and a thin line Of air
planes"
Another egg was thrown at the
Willkie automobile yesterday, in
Huntington. w. Va, but it struck

NEW YORK, Oct 30.-Some New
York morning newspapers printed
today reproductions Of what was
purported to be correspondence ad-
dresser to President Roosevelt pro-
testing the tone" of his Charlottes-
vile, Va, address and another
speech and an acknowledgement
from the Justice Department.
The correspondence was men,
toned last night by Bruce Barton,
Republican senatorial candidate, in
radio address. Mr.. Barton declar-
ed that the letter to the President
was written py Mrs william H.
Fain, Greenwich, Conn. and that
reply had been received from O.
John Rogge, aSsistan: attorney gen.
eral, saying statements in the letter
had been carefully roted by the
Department.
In the reproduction of the letter
Mrs Fain told the President, in
part: L have voted for you twice,
am in sympathy with your humani-
tartan and social detectives. as well
as sharing your sympathy with the
Allies in their struggle But the
tone of both addresses seems to me
calculated TO build Up a psychosis
which may drive US into war in
which we could be of little help to
Europe, but in which We might lose
our own liberty as we'll as the lives
of our youth"
The letter dated June IA closed
with the line: Believe me with
great respect"
Mr.. Barton said that Mrs. Fain
received from the Justice Depart
ment a photostatic copy of her let
ter. when she requested it later
to refresh her memory of what she
had written. and that it bore a

 Funny how rightly Vera had analysed the situation, too. Sue Mary made 8 mouth. Her mind r;ever worked SO rationally when things happened.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 5.-Samuel
M. Vauclain, who rose from the po-
sition of shop apprentice boy to the
leadership of the vast Baldwin Lo-
comotive Works, is dead at 83.
Mr.. Vauclain died at his home
in suburban Rosemont yesterday
from a heart disease and other
ailments.

locomotive builder, Mr.. Vauclain
won fame and decorations from
allied countries during the World
War when he found way to mount
huge naval guns on railroad cars,
turned Baldwin plants at Eddy
stone, Pa, and Burnham, Pa, into
munitions factories that turned out
10000 rifles and $4,000 shells daily
and served on this country's Council
of National Defense After the war
he surveyed railroads in Soviet
Russia and obtained huge contracts
for locomotives from South Ameri-
can countries.
MI. Vauclain. who once estimated
that he helped build $4,000 loco
motives, typified the American ira
dition of poor boy fighting his way
to the top of the industrial ladder.
A super salesman, he often re-
turned from Europe and South
America with contracts running as
high as $10,000,000.
Starting with Baldwin as an in
spector, Mr.. Vauclain worked his
way up, becoming vice president in
1911. He resigned as president in
1929 to become chairman of the
board.
He was a member of the board of
several banks and other industrial
concerns and held honorary degrees
from the University of Pennsylvania
