Right now the weather in all sec
tions Of Arizona is probably the
best fer statewide travelirg Cf any
time in the year, except during a
few weeks in the early spring The
days are still warm enough in the
northern section of the state to
make travelling extremely pleasant.
and not too warm in the southern
part of the state to prevent thor
ough enjoyment on the part of the
visitor. However, those factors
which govern national travel make
this particular season one of the
slowest we have.
Schools are starting everyWherc,
and cold weather has not yet made
people think OF winter vacations
Northern Arizona is just cCnclIi-
ing one of its most successful tour
ist seasons. Southern Arizona is
getting ready to launch it's winter
vacationist advertising and to well
come early arrivals. It seems to
me this IS an ideal time to ::I2::::ss..5:.;:

FLYNN BeIiHIes WiI|kie
As 'Hop-Skip' Campaigner

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Sept. 19.-Edward
J. Flynn, Democratic national chair
man, asserted today that Wendell
L. Willkie was playing "hop-skip-
and-jump" on campaign issues.
Mr.. Flynn, at a press conference,
said he was frankly puzzled by
great many things he (Willkie) says
and ! believe that that is the re-
actioh of a great many people I
have talked with"
He (Willkie) hops to one issue"
Mr.. Flynn said, docs not finish it,
skips to another. does not finish it
or offer any solution, jumps to an
other issue and still does not finish
it, and the result is that he says
nothing"
Commenting on today's editorial
In support of Mr.. Willkie in the New
York Times, Mr.. Flynn said: THE
stand of the Times undoubtedly re-
fleets the opinion of the ownership
and management. but if a poll of
its readers were taken, I am sure
1t would not agree with the owner
ship and management"

like which will be needed in the
huge task of enrolling l6,500000 men
next month and selecting some of
them for military service. The
ultimate cost of all draft printing is
estimated at Sl,500,000.
Preparing in advance for the
operation of the draft organization,
Army and Navy selective service
officials estimated that 32,0O0,000
registration cards, 24,0O00O0 regis
tration certificates and $4,000 900
questionnaires would be required.
The selective service directors

history. The directors conduct of
the draft will be felt in almost
every home in the country. where
most men from the age of 81 through
36 re theoretically eligible to selec-
ton for a years military training.
The total number Of conscripts
is fixed by law at 100000 year.
Johnson Is Mentioned.
Another name besides Col. Her.
sheys frequently heard in con-
nection with the job Is that of
Col Louis B. johnson. whom the
administration still would like to
placate after what amounted to
his dismissal early in the summer
from the job of Assistant Secretary
of War.
Maj. Gen. Allen Gullion, judge
advocate general of the Army. also
has been mentioned for the post.

A s25 100000 program to remedy
minor physical defects of prospective
draftees so they will be able to enter
the armed forces, was suggested here
yesterday at a special meeting of
State health officers.
Dr. Thomas Parran, surgeon gen.
eral of the United States Public
Health Service, who presided at the
meeting, said afterward that he had
been authorized to recommend a
s25 100000 Federal appropriation for
the treatment of minor ailments re-
vealed in the forthcoming conscrip-
ton examinations.
The health officers pointed out.
he said, that thousands of men
will be found to have such defects

proceeding with its plans for the
conscription, the Senate wrote into
the excess profits tax bill a provi-
sion enabling the President to estab-
lish allowances for dependents Of
those drafted.
The provision was phrased in
broad language purposely in order
that Senate and House conferees
may work out a more definite plan
later. The outlay for dependents is
expected to be relatively small at
first, because the general policy will
be to place men who are supporting

All forms which must be repro

Printing is being decentralized, to
avoid bottlenecks or distribution de-

questionnaires from Washington was
sidetracked and lost in the Middle

All printing bills will be paid by
the Federal Government. While
printing contracts can be negoti-
