Included in the routine were tests

Willkie, making his first stop at

I'm heaoed in the opposite direc-
tion," he said. "And in order to
turn this country around and get
started in that direction, I propose
to take four steps. I want now to
be very specific:
1.-The rules under which busi-
ness is conducted must be clear and
must be stable.
'2.-GOvernment policies affect
ing business should be consistent.
"3.-Government competition with
business must be kept within we'll
defined limits. 1t must not stop the
flow of capital into new productive
enterprise.
"4.-Business must be given a
chance to make a profit
He said it would not be possible
to balance the budget because of
necessary large expenditures for
national defense, for relief and for
expanding old age pensions. But he
pledged common sense economy

commission of experts to study tax
needs of federal, state and local

ABOARD WILLKIE TRAIN, EN-
ROUTE TO SAN FRANCISCO.
Sept. 20. (UP)-The trouble with
being a presidential candidate like
Wendell Willkie is that you get
no more privacy that the girl in the
goldfish bowl.
He doesn't even get to shave hmi-
self, or button his own overcoat.
And when he goes for a drive with
his wife he can't even pat her hard.
Take last night in Los Angeles
when he went to the Memorial ocl-
iseum to make a speech to some
voters. 1t would have been a nice
ride, if Willkie hadn't been running
for president. There was a moon
and salubrious California breeze.
1t was a beautiful evening-and
look what happened to Willkie:
He walked out of the Biltmore
hotel and there was his car wait
ing. In front of it was a truck
with photographers aiming their
cameras through the windshield of
the Willkie car Directly behind
it was another car full of reporters,
including ourself, peeking into the
rear window of the Willkie car.
On the running boards of Willkie's S
sedan were cops staring into the
side windows of the Willkic car.
So he just sat there, primly
beside Mrs. w. On the other side
of him was his big brother Ed
while in the jump seat sat a Mr.
Vincent Garagnelli of New York
his volunteer barber and unofficial
coat holder. The doctor said Will
kie had to keep his coat buttoned
closely around his trhoat. account
of losing his voice the other day
Willkie didn't pay attention. The
doctor assigned Barber Gargag-
nelli to keep him buttoned.
So the bundled Willkie rode forty
miles an hour through town. 1t
is thrue he sped through II stop
lights en- route. which must have
given him some satisfaction, but
it took 81 motor-cops footing sirens
to achieve this motorists dream.
Willkie arrived at the coliseum
at half past seven. The folks were
waiting for him and he'd had his
speech ready for three hours. He'd
even had it mimeographed, but
could he deliver it? Not on your
life. The Republicans had paid
cash for the privilege of broad
casting it and that privilege be-
gan at eight p. m. Mr. and Mrs.
Willkie sat for 80 minutes in a
tunnel beside the football dressing
rooms while local dignitaries made
speeches about you guess what.
At 10 minutes before eight the
WILKES climbed out Of their sedan
and into a green touring car with
top down so the citizens could see
him. Barber Garagnelli let him

Britain May Open Bose
At Singapore to u. S.
BY FREDERICK KUH

LONDON, Sept. 20. (UP)-An
American source reported today
that Anglo American defense meas
ures, now under consideration, en-
tail joint use of naval and air bases,
including use by the United States
of Singapore-the Gibraltar of the
Far East
Authoritative sources said that
Secretary of State Cordell Hull,
British Ambassador Lord Lothian
and Australian Minister Richard G..
Casey have opened defense" con-
versations in Washington with par
ticular reference to matters in the
Pacific.
1t was reported that at least as
long ago as 1899 Britain offered
facilities at Singapore to the Unit
ed States. The proposal then, and
since, was declined owing to appre-
hension it might be misinterpreted
as forming the cornerstone of an
alliance.
The issues under discussion, it
was intimated. include the ques-
ton of French Indo- China.
Shanghai reports today said a
crisis threatens over reported Jap
anese ultimatum for air and naval
bases in the French colonyD
The conversations in Washington,
it was said here, deal with wide is
sues in the Pacific.
A responsible American informant
said conversations envisage arrange
mentS under which the United
States would police" the Pacific
area where the U. S. fleet is con-
centrated while Britain undertook
responsibility for the Atlantic.
1t was said here that the con-
versations may strongly influence
Britain'S decision on the question
of reopening the Burma road. The
road. one of the chief sources of
supplies to the Chinese government
of Gen. Chang Kai-Shek, was
closed temporarily by the British at
Japanese insistence until Oct. 18.
