There were indications that Ger

open the way to an end of hostili-

President Reveals
Urging Board to
Be Sympathetic

BOSTON, Oct. 81. (UP)-
President Roosevelt told a
crowd of $4,000 at Boston
Garden last night that he
had asked the defense prior
tiles board to give sympathetic
consideration" to Great Britain's
request for 10000 more airplanes,
in addition to the $4,000 already on
order.
Also" he said, "large additional
(British) orders are being negotiat-
ed for artillery, machine guns,
rifles and tanks with equipment
and ammunition. The plant capac-
ity necessary to produce all this
military equipment is and will be
available to serve the needs of the
United States in any emergency"
In his third political speech OF
the campaign, Mr.. Roosevelt out
lined the progress made by the
New Deal in rearming the country
and reiterated his promise to par
ents that "your boys are not going

aims request for 10000 more air
planes, in addition to the $4,000 al
ready on order.
Willkie said he planned an ad-
ministration of the United States
government in which such a re-
quest wouldn't even be news
He promised if elected to step up
plane production so that the ma
ton would turn out 100 planes
where we now turn out one
Referring to other sections of Mr..
Roosevelt's Boston speech, Willkie
said that he would be glad to have
the nation choose which side had
the better campaign manager, Rep,
Joseph w. Martin, jr., Republican
national chairman, or Democratic
Chairman Edward j. Flynn. He said

we re going W VIII.
After 1 had completed my ad-
dress last night l returned to the
train and listened over the radio
to the speech of the third term
candidate" he told the crowd. For
the life of me, I could not under
stand whether he is running against
Bruce Barton for U. S. senator in
New York or against Joe Martin
for representative"
up to date, he doesn't mention
my name, but few people know
I'm running for president even il
he doesn't" Willkie continued. "On
November 5. 1 think he is going to
find that out"
rs there anybody in these United
States that will doubt that Wendell
Willkie can do more and under
stands better how to make America
productive than the third term
candidate?"
DO you doubt" Willkie asked
the crowd that Wendell Willkie
can do more than Franklin Roose-
velt to bring about peace between
industry and labor so that this great
free country can go down the road
of production and strength?
"I say to you that this form of
government cannot be preserved if
you return to power a government
that for seven and a half years
has spent more money than it has
taken in and is taking the country
down the road to chaos, initiation
and bankruptcy. They're bunglers
in domestic economy. This way OF
life will pass if you return this
administration to office"
Before speaking at Wilmington
WSllkie asked Mr.. Roosevelt to
answer before election day five
questions about unemployment, eco
nomic depression, alleged failure to
produce adequate defense, the third
term and corrupt political ma
chimes"
