Willkie Words Scar

So, Mr.. Roosevelt decided to change
his strategy. He decided to take up
the stump to defend himself and his
Administration against the soaring in
dictments which fell from the Willkie
lips. Likewise, he suddenly woke up
to the fact that his campaign was in
state of chaos and confusion.
Of course it was obvious to most
political observers last summer that
the Bronx Boss Ed Flynn did not pos
sess the political genius of Jim Far
ley. Not so obvious was the fact that
the Third Term Candidate played
right into Mr.. WILKES hands when
he named Boss Flynn as his campaign
manager.
For as the Roosevelt campaign
manager, Boss Flynn was living
symbol of the very evils of Third
Term about which Wendell Willkie
was preaching. The Republican NOM
inee pointed out that the menace of
third term was not that it broke
a tradition-though he has respect for
traditions-but that it would entrench
in power the very worst element Of
political leaders-the Boss Flynns,
Kelly-Nash, Crump (of Tennessee)
and Hague.
Flynn's Smear Campaign
If Mr.. Roosevelt were elected for a
, third term, said Wendell Willkie, he
would be obligated to this smelly type
of Democratic leader. Mr.. Roosevelt
proved the pointer there stood Boss
Flynn as the campaign manager, rat
Ting around in his shoes to explain
the "smear" campaign which he was
conducting.
So Mr. Roosevelt decided to change
horses in the middle of the stream.
He dispatched to New York Senators
Alben Barley of Kentucky and James
F. Byrnes of South Carolina to super
sede Boss Flynn. The point was to
get Boss Flynn out of the public spot
light at least until Election Day.
Thus, in the last two weeks of the
campaign, new managers are set up
in the party headquarters. Mr.. Roose-
welt rushes around the country max
ing speeches seeking to defend his
record and feebly undertaking to as

Sir:
Grant me space to register an en-
phatic protest against the statement
Of General Hugh Johnson reprinted
in your issue of October Oath, 1910.
The General says that eve are on the
verge of participating in new world
war not to fight for any fundamental
American interest but to preserve the
imperialistic British Empire in Asia,
Africa, and God knows where else. "
1t passes my comprehension how any
body can believe this. Isn't the preser-
walton of democracy a Fundamental
American INTEREST,"" Doesn't the Cen
eral realize that the last effective bar
rier to the unspeakable curse of Ger
manic world domination is Great Bri-
tain, and that if she is defeated, we
are next on Hitler's list? Surely the
only hope for decent and honorable
world peace lies in the cooperation of
England and the United States, the
only democracies left unconquered.
And England herself has repeatedly
said that we can better aid her heroic
fight for the preservation of liberty
and freedom by keeping out of the
war than by going in. No matter how
many racial strains we represent, our
nation, as a nation, derives from Eng
land, and our fundamental law, oul
love of freedom, even our speech
and thereby our thinking-is English.
born. Material and financial aid to
England means not war, but the hope
of a just and honorable peace.

sumo the aggressive by asserting his
adversaries are not telling the truth
Meanwhile the "smear" regiments and

to work to stem the tide toward
Willkie.
But it is too late! The American
people are in no mood to be fooled by
weak defenses (either national or
politicaD or by "smears" and "whis-

was no other member of his party,
however trusted, however close to
him, however deeply in accord with
his own convictions about the war
or about domestic issues, who could
safely take his place.
"The doctrine of one mans indis-
pensability is a new doctrine for this
country. 1t is doctrine which less
scrupulous men in Europe have used
to root themselves in power.
''In the defeat of Mr.. Roosevelt and
the election of Mr.. Willkie there is an
opportunity to safeguard tradition
with the wisdom of long experience
behind it."

LOOKING FORWARD
By FRANKLIN MAILMAN
Publicity Director, Republican National Committee

AS this Presidential campaign nears
its end, the outstanding development
is that for the first time in eight years
Franklin D. Roosevelt has been placed
on the defensive in politics.
He has been forced there by the
hard-smashing blows and impressive
sincerity of Wendell Willkie. He has
been placed there because the weight
of the evidence is against the Third
Term Candidate and against a con-
tinuation of the New Deal
Let your memory go back to the
supreme confidence of the Third Term
Candidate following his self-forced
nomination at the Chicago Convention.
So arrogant was he as a result of
this manipulated victory that he con-
temptuously did not even bother to
accept his nomination in person. Sit
ting in the White House, he did it by
radio.
Too Busy To Debate
In that speech of acceptance he con-
fidently told the country there was no
need for him to campaign-that he
had no time to take part in political
debates or discussions. Of course,
Mr.. Roosevelt did great deal of cam
paigning after that speech. So-called
national defense inspections actually
were political fence inspections. Daily
Mr.. Roosevelt was occupied by con-
ferences with his associates from the
corrupt city political machines. AL
most hourly he was engaged in politi-
cal maneuvering.
But for three months he stuck to
his determination that he would not
discuss the issue of this campaign.
He declined to give to the people an
accounting Of his stewardship; he re-
fused to justify his record or why he
should be elected-above all other men
in the history of the Nation-for a
third term.
And then came the collapse of the
Roosevelt strategy, bringing with it
cold chills for Democratic machine
spines. In the face of the Roosevelt
silence the popularity of Wendell
Willkie grew-grew until it became
obvious even to the New Dealers that
there would be a change in the White
House next January.

Senate May Take Up
Leave Bill Tomorrow

The Senate will have an oppor-
tunity, on the unanimous consent
calendar tomorrow, to take up the
Bulow bill to correct an inequality
in the application of the annual
and sick-leave laws to Government
employees who work on a f1ve-day
week. such as at Navy Yards and
the Government Printing Office.
The bill provides that when a
non-work day falls within an en-
ploye's leave period it shall not
be charged to the annual or sick
leave.
The bill was introduced following
ruling by the Controller Generals S
Office that a non-work day fixed
by administrative order is neither
Sunday nor a holiday within the
meaning of the leave laws, and
therefore must be counted as part
of a leave period. When employees
on a f1ve-day week are on leave,
Saturdays must be counted, even
though they would not be required
to work if not on leave.

Blaze in Dress Shop
Causes $4,000 Damage

Downtown theater crowds jammed
F street for half an hour last night,
when fire broke out in store there.
The fire originated on the second
floor of the Model Dress Shop. 1903
F street, apparently from defective
wiring or ir-conditioning appara-
tus, fremen said. Harry Racoosin,
owner, estimated that between s30.-
900 and s35 900 damage was done to
store and merchandise.
An unidentified passerby noticed
smoke at 8:14 pm. and turned in
the alarm. The firemen were forced
to break plate glass doors and win
dows and flood the shop with water
before they had flames under con-
troll. Smoke caused most of the
damage to dresses in the second
floor workshop and salesroom. while
water and falling plaster damaged
f1rst-foor merchandise.
Stores on either side appeared at
no time to be endangered by the
fire. flremen said.
Mr.. Racoosin rushed to the fire
from the gymnasium of the Jewish
Community Center, after word of it
was forwarded to him by his wife
at their home in the Westchester
Apartments. He said that damage
to store and goods was covered by
insurance.
Motorists for block in each di-
rection from the blaze were shunted
away from the scene by police
squads.

Two Bandits Take 500
From 7 Filling Stations

Two colored bandits held up a
couple of filling stations in rapid
succession last night and escaped
with more than 500.
Roy Huffman, co-owner of a sta
ton at $40 Florida avenue NV,
said one of the men forced him at
the point of a revolver into a rear
room, while the other rif1ed the
cash register of about $33. They
fled in an automobile after taking
his wallet containing $40 more, Mr..
Huffman said.

answering the same general de-
scription, threatened Watson Strick-
land with a revolver at a filling sta
ton in the 400 block of North Capt.
tol street, where he is employed,
and forced him to turn over his
change carrier and money bag con-
tanning between $50 and SIS, police

D. {. Milk Fight
Looms Again.;
lac Price Hit
Schultz to Press
Bill to Open Market,
Increase Supply

Another congressional battle over
the District milk situation appeared
inevitable last night after Repre-
sentative Schultz, Democrat, of In
diana, announced he would seek
early action on his bill to open the
local market to milk and cream
produced outside the Washington
milkshed.
Mr.. Schulte's bill, one of the out
growths of the sensational milk in
vestigation last year by a special
subcommittee of the House District
Committee, has a preferred status
on the House calendar and can be
called up for consideration January
IS, the first District of Columbia
day" of the new session.
ID. C. Price Declared Too High.
II am not going to relent in my
fight for lower-priced milk for the
people of Washington" declared Mr..
Schultz, one Of the ranking majority
members on the District Committee.
THE price of milk here is too high.
1t could be retailed at II or IL cents
quart with fair profit to both
producer and distributor. Accord
ing to my calculations the average
consumer in Washington is pay.
ing about $25 year too much for
milk"
Mr.. Schulte's bill would allow milk
and cream from any section of the
country to be shipped into WASH
ington if it meets the standards Of
purity and quality prescribed by
health authorities in the area in
which it is produced. Existing law
restricts Washington's milk supply
for fluid consumption to those pro-
ducers in Maryland, Virginia and
West Virginia whose cattle and
diary barns are regularly inspected
and approved by inspectors Of the
District Health Department. There
is no such restriction, however on
milk and cream used in the manu-.
facture of ice cream.
Virtual Monopoly Charged.
Representative Schultz contends
existing law has given to dairy
farmers in the nearby States a
virtual monopoly on the District
milk supply, which must be broken
if milk prices are to be reduced.
II will predict now that just as
soon as my bill is enacted into law
there will be flood of pure and
wholesome cream into Washington
from Indiana, Wisconsin and other
large milk-producing States, and
that the price will come down."
said Mr.. Schultz. There is no
reason why consumers in Washing
ton should pay IA cents quart for
milk when it is sold at 13, IL and
even as low as II cents q quart in
other cities.
