Dog Fish
Someone benefited from the fish
ing trip that Shirley Gillette and
his son. Frank, took Sunday, but
it wasn't altogether Shirley and
Frank.
With carefully arranged gear and
a basket of lunch and bait, the
two set ont for secret place on
the highline canal where Shirley
thought the catfish had the great
est appetites. They unloaded and set
up rods but missed the bait!
There was a pound of liver for
baitw Shirley complained as he
searched the lunch basket over in
vain. Finally they had to use what
bait they could steal from lunch
and 'altogether had a rather un-
satisfactory day insofar as angling
results went.
Back at home they found a
stained butchers paper in the yard
and the family dog looking guilty
but full fed.

Missing Kitten

Missing Kitten
Guests who come TO the Dusty
Rhodes home on SandalWood will
be relieved but Warren Rhodes is
worried, by the disappearance of
Daphne.
In other days visitors have felt
something rub against their legs
and looked down expecting to see
a pet cat. only to find Daphne,
The effect upon the guests is al
ways violent. For Daphne is a
skunk.
Warren discovered the animal
when it was a baby and raised it
with the idea of forming a vaude-
vile act with Ted Kline, who also
has a pet of the same type.
Daphne has wandered away from
home before but usually returns
in a short time for romp. This
time Warren is afraid the holiday
may be permanent.
So the next time you meet Il
skunk ask him Name pleaSe?"

session today (by RADIO as has been
his custom
Mr.. Willkie, who spent the re-
mainder of the evening campaign
ing from the Bronx to the Lower
East Side, charged in his prepared
speech that the unprecedented
powers of the New Deal were be-
bind the causes of the long con-
tinuance of the depression"
The concentration of power in
America he said, has hurt every
democracy and helped every rising
dictator
Declaring there has been a trend,
partly accidental, partly deliberate,
toward the establishment of State
domination over our lives Mr.. Will
kie continued:
I'm modern State, control over
money is a primary instrument of
power. = At this moment the
President holds powers over the
money and credit system of the
country, comparable to those of any
dictator"
The candidate said that in 1887
the Supreme Court was the chief
remaining obstacle between him
(the PresidenD and virtually un-
limited powers" He noted that Mr..
Roosevelt has appointed five JUS
tees, and added, some of the men,
bers of that court are intimate polit-
ical advisers of the President"
The New Deal, he commended, has
slapped the independence of the
States saying that was done "by
public bribery and the usurpation of
functions formerly delegated to the
States" Federal grants, public
works and federal manipulation of
relief money" he declared, contrib
uted to that situation.
Dimes With Al Smith.
Mr.. Willkie arrived in New York
early last evening after dining on
his special train with Alfred E.
Smith, 1928 Democratic presidential
nominee.
Before his speech at the forum
the Republican nominee told
crowd at the Bronx coliseum "our
greatest hope in America to pre-
vent the arising of racial or re-
ligiouS prejudice is to make pros
porous America"
He developed similar theme in
Lennox Hall on the lower East Side
in his last speech of the day, just
before midnight.
This is the kind of community"

hatred and bigotry ever get started,
the results would be terrifying be-

j. ). Aerial Forces
In Philippines
Reinforced
80 WorpIones Being
Sent to Defend Island
Against Invasion

The United States is increasing
its aerial forces in the Philippines
under plans to defend the Far East
ern outpost against any attack.
Amy announcement that two
pursuit squadrons, comprising about
80 warplanes, are being sent to the
Philippines conceded with a declara-
ton by Secretary Of the Navy Knox
yesterday that the islands will be
defended "as long as they are under
our flag"
Secretary of War Stimson dis
closed today that some" Of the
100 planes originally intended for
Sweden which this Government req
uisitioned for Army use will be sent
to the Philippines. Mr.. Stimson
said these planes are all of the
pursuit type, adaptable either to
training or combat purposes.
Reminded at q press conference
that some military men had ex-
pressed doubt that the island COM
monwealth, 1000 miles distant, could
be held against a serious invasion
attempt, Mr.. Knox said 1--WE can
defend anything"
Refusing to be drawn into a dis
| cussion of military maneuvers in
China and the Far East, Secretary
Stimson said, Il can't conceive, how
ever, Of 5000 or 5000 American
troops and American citizens in the
Philippines being kft without proper
protection.
The Navy Secretary revealed that
preliminary work has begun toward
developing q base near st. Johns,
on the south side of Newfoundland,
one Of the eight sites which this
country recently acquired the right
to lease from Great Britain in con-
nection with the transfer Of so over
age deStroyerS to the British.
Guns to Latin America.
Disclosing also that some guns and
minor ordnance items had been sent
to some Latin American countries,
Mr.. Knox said the United States
was under moral obligation to help
equip them to resist any foreign
aggression. He told questioners,
however, that he knew of no appli-
cations from any other American
nation for fighting ships.
The Philippine reinforcement, fol-
lowing closely the strengthening of
defenses at Hawaii, will be limited
for the time being to Army war
planes, it was indicated. The ap-
proximately 800 officers and men
comprising the two pursuit squadrons
will sail shortly from San Francisco
for Manila, the War Department an
nounced.
Mr.. Knox said the Navy had no
intention at present of strengthening
the Asiatic feet of some two score
war vessels, now concentrated at
Manila. Discussing plans to defend
| the island commonwealth, which will
not achieve full independence until
1916 under present law, he said that
the United States was mot in
| different toward any territory under
the American flag"

"They believe in them so much. ,
he spoke slyly to his audience, that
they will never be happy until they
can clasp them to their own chests
and put their own brand upon them
II they could only get control of
them, they plead, they would take
so much better care of them, honest
to goodness they would"
Branding as deliberate falsehood
claims that the administration has
not added one private job since
1888, Mr.. Roosevelt asserted that
5000, 900 more men and women are
employed in private industry today
than in the first month OF the New
Deal. From that point it was an
easy step to call the roll" of specific
improvements in the lot of the work.

In this list, familiar by now, were

AN equally objectionable falsiflca-
ton about our economy he con-
tinued, lis made when the Repub-
lican leaders talk about American
busineSS-how 1t cannot make a
profit, how little confidence it has
in this administration, and how this
administration hates business
Cites Doubling Of Income.
BY way of answer. the Democratic
candidate cited the doubling of the
national income since 1882, the re-
duction of bank failures, and the
improvement in corporation earn
ings.
On the matter of treatment of the
banks, Mr.. Roosevelt was particular
" vehement. ....
There are some banks now using
money to advertise" he said, ''or to
send letters to their depositors,
limiting that unless this admins
tration is defeated, the deposits OF
their banks will be in danger. This
is sheer intimidation to black jack
the election and to return the finan-
cial control of the Government to
the very forces which had nearly
wrecked the Nation"
Concluding his recital of "misrep-
RESERVATIONS" Mr. Roosevelt denied
Indignantly charges that his admin
istration wishes to lead this country
into war.
Your President and your great
Secretary of State are following the
road to peace" he declared. I'VE
are arming ourselves not for any
foreign war"
1T is for peace I have labored,
and 1t is for peace I shall labor all
the days of my life"
Takes Dig at Press.
Twice during his address, Mr..
Roosevelt took occasion to needle
the press-once in remarking that
only part of the press remains open
to presentation of both sides of cur
rent political questions, and again
in haunting the New York Times for
having run a business story of
present high production indices
while its editorial columns were
complaining of New Deal mistreat-
ment of business.

Japan after reaching an agreement
with the Japanese-dominated Nam

Abe, the broadcast said, had "ex-

Mr.. Willkie said Mr.. Roosevelt

he had not done so in his years in
office.
In Chicago the other night, Mr..
Willkie said. he put certain questions
to Mr. Roosevelt which the Presi-
dent did not answer.
He said the 1882 Democratic plat
form promised a balanced budget

billions and no attempt had been
made to balance the budget.

Sino-J Japanese Peace
Report Unfounded,
Chinese Declare
Aid From United Stutes
Gives New Determination
To Fight On, They Soy

By the Associated Press.
Chinese authorities here said today
that reports of Sino-Japanese peace
negotiations could be dismissed as
ulfounded."
Increasing material and moral
support from the United States, they
said, had given China new determi-
nation to fight on against Japan.
Information from China, it was
said, showed that Chinese morale
had been increased greatly by British
reopening of the Burma road and
by measures taken in washington
to help China financially and to re-
strict trade with Japan.
The comment was made in con-
nection with a report published in
San Francisco quoting the retiring
Japanese Ambassador, Kensuke
Horinouchi, as saying that a peace
agreement lacking final official
action" has been reached between
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek and
the Japanese-sponsored ruler at
Nanking-Wang Ching-wei.
In Toxic also there were reports
that influential Chinese not con-
nected with either of those leaders
had extended peace feelers to
Japanese.
