Thousands Of Letters
Urge Him 10 Run,
Wi|Ikie Declares
But Utilities Head Says
He's Not in Race for
The Presidency

BY the Associated Press.
WOOSTER, Ohio, Jan. 30.-Wen-
dell L. Willkie told Wooster friends
last night he has received thou
sands" of letters urging him to seek
the presidency.
But I'm not running for Presi-
dent" said the head Of Common
wealth & Southern Corp. "Of
course, it isn't going to happen, but
If the nomination were given to
me without any strings I would have
to accept it. No man in middle life
(Mr. Willkie is 49, and in good
health could do otherwise.
"But I couldn't go out and seek
delegates and make two-sided state
ments. I value my independence.
That's what I've been fighting for
all these years"
The utilities executive said the
letters have arrived at the rate of
200 to 500 a week for several months,
and he has answered all of them.
Listed in biographies as Demo-
crat, he has tangled frequently with
New Deal agencies-especially the
Tennessee Valley Authority.
He sal suggestions by Arthur
Krock, New York Times writer, and
Gen. Hugh S. johnson apparently
brought "the flood of letters"
In his address at a banquet COM
memorating the 10th anniversary
of Wooster College, Mr.. Willkie
viewed Americas independent COL
leges as safeguarding the Nations
liberties.
IF we ever have a threat of die
tatorship in this country, the inde-
pendent colleges, free from State in
fluence, will be the last refuge Of
our liberties" he declared. THE
lights of liberty are going out all
over the world. They can be relit
only in America, and only with the
help of our school system"

In Perfect Condition,
Roosevelt Marks
58th Birthday
Rudio Broadcast Durinq
Benefit BoIIs and Party
At White House Planned

President Roosevelt, pronounced
by his personal physician in as per
feet condition as any man of his
age could be-" was celebrating his
53th birthday anniversary today.
Preferring a relatively quiet cere-
mony while the Nation took occa-
sion to observe the date with a
countrywide program of benefit
balls for funds to fight infantile
paralysis, the Chief Executive
planned few official appointments,
one message to Congress on rural
hospital program and one brief mes
sage to the Nation in a radio broad
cast during the benefit parties to-
night. In keeping his own appoint
ment list relatively clear, the Presi-
dent postponed his usual Tuesday
afternoon press conference until to-
morrow.
Up to midmorning the President
had received about $500 kilograms
and cablegrams of congratulations
on his birthday. Topping the list,
White House spokesman said,
was a message of best wishes from
King George vi of Great Britain.
Mr.. Roosevelt's own birthday
party will be White House dinner,
attended by his family and a few
old friends, plus birthday cake
In accordance with Roosevelt FAM
lily custom, the cake was to bear only
81 candles.
A Bit Grayer.
Some of those who will be on hand
are original members of the cuff
links gang" group of friends dat
ing back to the days when Mr..
Roosevelt was an Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy and then an unsuc-
cessful candidate for the vice preSi-
dency. He gave each of those inti-
mates a set of gold cuff links years
ago.
In addition to the President and
Mrs. Roosevelt, those scheduled to
attend the dinner party included
the following:
James Roosevelt, Hall Roosevelt,
Judge Samuel RoSenman, Kirke
Simpson, Charles Mccarthy, James
P. Sullivan, Secretary of the Treas
ury and Mrs. Morgenthau, Secre-
tary of Commerce Hopkins, DR.. Ross
T. McIntire, Brig. Gen. Edwin M.
Watson, Capt. Daniel j. Callaghan,
Stephen T. Early, Miss Marguerite
LIE Hand, Mrs. Grace Tully, Miss
Malvlna Thompson, Stanley Pre-
nosil, Mr.. and Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt, jr.; Mr.. and Mrs. David
Gray and Basil O'Connor.
AS he passes another milestone,
Mr.. Roosevelt is a bit grayer at the
temples, and the seams in his face
are a bit deeper. Otherwise, DR..
McIntire said, the strenuous years
in the White House have left little
mark on him.
He said that Mr.. Roosevelt's ex-

Arthur Lakes desire for realism
on the Blonde" radio show nearly
disrupted the program recently. In
one scene he had to fall down, with
the proper accompanying sound ef-
fects; usually that just means that
the sound man makes the noises.
But Arthur insisted on doing his own
fall. The show was on for the east

script few in all directions, and Pen
ny Singleton had to rush over with
her script and let Arthur read his
part from it until his script had been
reassembled.
