Clio LEADER GIVES
INSIDE ON LEWIS
Says He Switched To Will
kie After Failing To
Line Up F. r.

AKRON, Ohio, Oct. 26.-R-An
Akron Go leader declared today
John L. Lewis said Oct. 2 that he
was withholding an endorsement of
President Roosevelt to gain two OBJ
jectives and could "under nc circum-
stances" support Wendell L. Willkie.
This assertion came from Frank
Grillo, secretary = treasurer Of the
CIO-United Rubber workers.
II believe that Lewis is betraying
the G.. o. P. even now" Grillo
stated.
Grille told in~terviewers that Lewis,
at a meeting in his Washington Of
flee Oct. 2, said he was holding a
Roosevelt endorsement "in his peck
ct" until the administration denied
defense contracts to certain firms,
including Bethlehem Steel and Ford
Motor Co., and reappointed J. War
rem Madden to head the National
Labor Relations Board.
Grille said Lewis expressed belief
he could get these things by "hold-
ing the endorsement in my pocket"
and quoted the CIO chief as adding:
"'You fellows know my senti-
ments. You know Wilkes back
ground and you know I couldn't pos
sibly endorse him. We know there
isn't any comparison between the
two men,"
Others present at the Washington
conference, Grille said, were L. L.
Callahan, president of the union S
Goodrich local, and Robert David
Son, Akron CLIO representative. The
Akron Beacon Journal reported
that Callahan confirmed Grillo's &C.
count as Exactly correct"

Wilmington, North Carolina

During the past sixty years Wilmington has had opportunities of becoming a
large and prosperous city.
We must share the responsibility for failing to realize Of III poentiaH4g.
Not % long ago Wilmington was the largest city in North Carolina. For lack Of
being energized it now stands SIXTH.
on the ability O fits citizens to avail themselves of its natural advantages; then to
supplement these by creating others.
THROUGH UNITED ACTION THERE ARE FOUR OR FIVE GREAT oP-
PORTUNITIES NOW AWAITING WILMINGTON.
They should be taken a step at a time.
THE FIRST THING TO BE DONE IS TO SECURE A PURE WATER SUPPLY
SUFFICIENT TO TAKE CARE OF THE PRESENT AND FUTURE
Then the other steps should be taken up in quick succession.
Look for a moment at the ports along the Atlantic coast In Maine-Bangor;
in Observation-Disclosures in Connecticut bridgeport New York-New York;
in Observation-Disclosures in Maryland Baltimore; in Vnginia-Norfok; in
South Carohna-Charleston;m Georga-Savannah; in Floida-Jacksonvll; in
Alabama Mobile; in louisiana New Orleans; in Texas Galveston.
In nearly every caset the port city is THE LARGEST CITY OF THE STATE.
In North Carolina Wilmington should be the largest city. It has the natural advan-
tages.
A city cannot be awakened and energhed over night but a start can be made,
AS encouragement it will be interesting to state that New Hanover County

corporations have established branches in Wilmington to share in and reap the
advantages.
This advertisement is written for the purpose of saying that we stand ready to
cooperate with all Of the progressive citizens and organizations Of Wilmington in
making this section of North Carolina a better place in which to live, A PLACE
WITH GREATER OPPORTUNITIES; a place where w approximately measure

What Chance Has Willkie?

WHAT chance has Wendell L. Willke to become
" president?
This question may be easier to answer following
the Democratic convention opening in Chicago July
15
If Roosevelt is nominated for third term Wilkes
chances of winning in November will be slim very
slim If his opponent is anyone but FDR he may make
the grade.
Right now, the former Hoosier schooboy and ex-
Democrat, as result of his bitzkrieg in which he
routed rabid Republican bosses is riding the crest of
public opniOnqute naturally so after he has been Civ
en- only favorable publicity in the papers and by ra-
dlo. The build up" during and Immediately following
any presidential nominating convention is always tre
mendous.
This will all change soon The wel-greased Demo-
cratic publicity machine will swing into gear grind
ing out mass of propaganda detrimental to the foe
of the New Deal
Voters will be told through the press and radio of
Wilkes long career corporation lawyer and util-
tiles magnate and he will be branded as the candi-
date of Wall Street same sort of campaign wag
ed by the Republicans to defeat Democratic Presi-
Dental Nominees Alton B. Parker in 1904 and John
Davis 20 years later Parker's and Davis close con-
necton with Wall Street, and the fact they were cor
poration lawyers brought about their downfall Teddy
Roosevelt beat Parker in 1904 and Calvin Coolidge
was an easy winner over Davis in 1924
The Democrats will remind voters of the achieve
1Rents of the Roosevelt regme-the CCC, HOLC,
WPA, Social Security, and other legislation sponsor
ed for the people by Democratic administration
headed by Franklin Deano Roosevelt, the greatest
humanitarian in history

Hitler S 255 "Buddies''

IF ADOLF HITLER actually intends to invade the
United States he should contact the 255 Southern
California Arizona Methodists who adopted resolll-
ton at Long Beach opposing defense of this country
against an invader.
Those folks who appear to be buddies of the Ger
man dictator, have virtually assured the Nazs they
would receive them brothers and with wide open
arms.
The resolution, adopted by the Methodists, and
which caused Tempe and three Phoenix Methodist
churches to attack the anti-defense vote Shame
fuF and un-Amercan read, in part as follows ac-
cording to the Associated Press:
"That we discipline ourselves in the realization
of world community and regard nobody as
alien but everybody as brother, so that in the
event of an invasion we can treat the invader as
a brother and not enemy"
AS result of the un-American resolution the Cen
tral Methodist Church of Phoenix has stopped pay
ment on check for 1874 to cover this years con-
ference claims
Two of the leading newspapers of Arizona COM
mented editorially, as follows on the resolution:
PHOENIX GAZETTE:
'The ministers ignoring of hard realities if follow
ed by majority would be certain road to destruc-
ton of these United States The clergymen take no
account of the fact that the leaders of the nations
which might commit aggression against us have re-
nounced Christianity, that the word brother in it's
true meaning is not in their vocabuares that they
know nothing but brute force, and that events have
shown they are not susceptible to reform.
"The sheer force by which these men now rule their
own and other peoples may spend ITSELF and their
may tend to be humane Our job is not to tempt
these men by standing defenseleSs before them and
calling them brother but to let those nations r
ed by dictators effect change within themselves"
ARIZONA DAILY STAR:
"When last week the Arizona California conference
of the Methodist church adopted resolutions opposing
defense of the country against invader, it plunged
the church into the political field and thereby raised

The age-old question of the church interfering with at

what the church reaps when it attempts to intervene
in affairs of the state.
The separation of the church and the state mas Gig

record of the evils that follow, where church and
