said:
THAT if this government con-

it is spending, if it violates or the
people permit It to violate those
principles against concentration of
power and long continuation of the

one man, this free way of life will
pass"
The only answering arguments he
has heard from those who have
captured the party founded by this
great liberal" Willkie said, are:
Smear, silence, believe mil

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.
CUP) President Roosevelt
charged today that his Re-
publican opponent, Wendell!
l.. Willkie, is Systematically
falsifying the issues in the presi-
Dental campaign.
Without mentioning Willkie by
name, Mr.. Roosevelt asserted at a
press conference that his opponent
is falsifying major issues in man
ner which is deliberate rather than
unwilling.
Because of this, Mr.. Roosevelt
said, he has been forced to aban-
don his silence in the campaign
and schedule five major addresses
between Oct. % and the election
day which will present the true
facts" to the American people.
He recalled that in his July 10
address accepting the third term
nomination, he told the Democratic
convention that he would have
neither time nor the inclination"
to engage in political activities. But
in that same address, he recalled,
he promised to reply to any "delib-
crate or unwilling Justification OF
fact"

falsiVNa:ion now has developed,
Mr. RooseveN said.
Mr. Roosevelt's major addresses

Bar Endorses Move
10 Give Lower Court
Jud ges Life Jobs
Step Would Attract
Men Of Higher CoIiber,
Association Says

Appointments to the benches of
lower District courts-Police, Mu-
nicipai and Juvenile-would become
more alluring and the judicial tai
ent as a result would be of higher
caliber, the District Bar Associa-
ton contended today, if Congress
passed legislation giving future jur-
lists in these tribunals life jobs.
A bill providing for lifetime ap-
pointment of new judges in Police,
Municipal and Juvenile Courts was
introduced yesterday by Representa-
tive Murdoch, Democrat, of Utah
anad referred to the House Judici-
airy Committee.
Endorsed by the bar association,
the measure provides that judges
in the three lower brancheS-now
appointed for SiX-year terms-would
serve during good behavior and be
subject to removal by the President
for cause. Under the bill, any
judge who had served on the bench
for II years or more would be forced
to retire at 70 on half pay and
could be called upon for service
thereafter not more than three
months a year. This provision was
intended to furnish judges during
the summer vacation period.
Another section stipulates that
any judge of the three courts who
has served continuously in Office
for 20 years or more on the date
OF enactment of the legislation
would be permitted to retire at half
pay.
Francis w. Hill, jr., president of
the District Bar Association, said
1t was felt that lengthening the
tenure of judges would tend to
make the jobs more attractive, in
asmuch as there have been cases in
the past where men well qualified
for the bench have held their DO
sition rather than accept a compar-
etively short appointment that Of
fered doubtful future.
