Ambassador Is
Personal Agent Of
Head of State'

WASHINGTON, Nov. /. UP)-
State department officials said to-
day that, in accordance with inter-
national custom, an ambassador is
considered the personal represen-
tative of the head of the state which
he represents. A minister is con-
sidered the representative of the
government whic acredits him.
The distinction was explained by
officials of the foregn service divi-
sion cf the state department in
response to inquiries about Presi-
dent Roosevelt's reference in a
speech at Boston to Joseph P.
Kennedy as my ambassador"
Ambassadors are given credentials
by the President which are con-
tanned in a form letter which varies
slightly according to the status of
the head of the state to whom the
ambassador is accredited. Kennedy S

Garden.
In an address late yesterday dedi-
eating the new s4,50O,0OO National
Institute of Health in Bethesda,
Md, Mr. Roosevelt denied that his
administration plans 10 socialize
medical practice.
Declaring that "the ramparts we
watch must be civilian as well as
military" he called upon science
to form a partnership with govern
ment for total defense" similar to
the defense partnership between
government and industry.
I'VE seek the same partnership
that we seek for industrial produc-

policies "are leading to complete
collapse
I'VE need effectiveness by pru-
dence rather than swashbuckling
conduct abroad" the Republican
presidential nominee said in a
statement. I'VE need realistic ma
tional defense at home. We have
neither. The fact is now clear
that the third term candidate is
Just as incompetent in national de-
fense as he has been in the solution
of every great domestic problem.
THE sooner our people realize
that his foreign policies are lead
ing us straight TO war for which
we are totally unready, and that
his domestic policies are leading
to complete collapse, the quicker
will come our opportunity TO cor
rect both and above all to keep
US out OF foreign war.
THE people will not be fooled on
Nov. 5th. The people will turn to
the cold facts of the third term
candidates policies at home
Willkie issued the statement as
he began his final day Of his tour
ing campaign, which has taken him
approximately 1900 miles since
he left Rushville. Ind, Sept. II.
He will rest on his special train
tonight before going into New York
tomorrow night for a final rally
at Madison Square Garden.
He speaks today in New Brms-
wick, N. j., at II am. at Elizabeth,
N J. at 1910 pm. and on ma
tional radio network (NBC-Red)
from his private railroad car some
where III New jersey at $3.50 pm.

speech Wednesday night. In the

this campaign with determine
tion to present 2 solid Ameri-
can front against the world in this
dangerous hour -. . tand) went
the limit in supporting certain
elements of the third term candi-
dates position IN foreign affairs
Willkie accused Mr. Roosevelt of
making campaign material of the
duties of president by announcing
in a political speech at Boston
wednesday his approval Of British
order for 1900 additional war
planes.
"Of course. the credit that the
third term candidate would like to
assume is mostly imaginary he
said. These orders have been plac-
ed by the British government with
American aircraft manufacturers
who have been for the last seven
years neglected by the third-term
candidate, and even abused.
In making his statement, the
candidate did not mention the fact
that the 1900 airplanes ordered by
Britain are airplanes on order-just
like most of our own airplanes. And
the tragic fact is that. owing 10 the
policy of neglect and delay over the
past seven years, they must remain
on order for many. many months

Although few studios have selected

their appearance with only brief,

the drums OF national defense.
Almost every movie turned of the
production lines today contains at
least one scene or passage in which
Americanisms are craftily woven
into the story. They fall on audi
ence eyes and ears so suddenly and
with such power that patrons who
have been in the habit Of sitting on
their hands are spontaneously edged
into enthusiastic outbursts
The situations aren't accidental
by any means. About two months
ago the Hays ONCE members got
together with the War and Navy
Departments in Washington and
promised fllmdom would do every
thinfg possible to aid defensive
measures. Inspirational bits saga
ciously scattered through feature
pictures are the first step in the
drive.
Later, allied producers will join
the defensive program in earnest.
Discussions are already pointing to-
ward the filming of IS features deal
ing directly with defense, while
string OF one and two reelers will
begin unwtnding around the holi-
days.
Meanwhile nearly all pictures are
being treated to that certain
touch" wherever and whenever
possible. For instance, Norman
Taurog had finished shooting Little
Nelly Kelly" starring Judy Garland,
when he began pondering over a
brief naturalization scene involving
Judy and George Murphy. He de-
cided it could be heightened, broad
ened and packed with patriotic
punch. The cast was called back
and the scene reshot. Now, 1t is
something to make audiences think
and applaud.

ganda in by the neck" explained
