that his rating will come slowly but
steadily up, reaching the top just
before November 5.

election IS close. These polls did

'thirties, and have covered two pres

a really nip-and- election, where
the final decision turned on a few

three key states, it is a question

follows. To Mr.. Willkie, there is no
personal fight in this-he doesn't
: charge the President with dictatorial
ambitions. He simply points out
that once the precedent is estab
liShei-or, putting t another way,
the old anti-third-term precedent is
demolished-we will have, in prin-

Mr.. Roosevelt bases his candidacy

answer to the third-term argument
is that there can be no dictatorship

Most Important
Presidential Campaign

What history may prove to be one
of the most important Presidential
campaigns in decades is at last in
high gear The period of peace and
quiet which followed the nomina-
tons seems to be definitely over.
During that period, there can be
no question but what the Willkie
candidacy suffered slight let-down
his friends admit it, even as his
opponents exult in it. But only the
politically inexperienced believe
that let-doWn was necessarily of any
particular significance. MIR. Willkie
was swept into the Republican no.
minatfon on the crest of wave of
almost unprecedented enthusiasm,
similar to that which gave Mr.
Roosevelt the Democratic nominal
ton eight years ago. No one expert
enced in politics believes that
the enthusiasm could have been
maintained undimmed from no.
mination day to election day
Willkie strategists deliberately plan
ned the let-down. knowing that it
had to come some time, and that
the earlier it came the better off
his candidacy would be- History is
studded with dismal examples of
candidates who brought their cam
paignS to maximum pitch too long
before November-and, as a result,
seemed to the voters as stale as yes
terday's beer by election time
On top of that, the Willkie cam
paign called for super-careful plan
ming. Ordinary issues are of little
moment today, with the national
attention focused on war in Europe
and defense at home Mr. Willkie is
not an 'a-ginner." He endorses many
New Deal policies in principle, even
as he denounces many New Deal
methods. And so, almost inevitably,
it looks as if this campaign will focus
down to two isSues-one tangible,
the other more OF less intangible
but of immense potential import
ance.
The tangible issue is that of ad-
ADMINISTRATION. Willkie hackers believe
that he could get more for each de-
tense dollar than could the present
White house group. They believe he
could steer a course which would
be fairer to all the diverse interests
in this country today-worlser and
capitalist, farmer and manufacturer
little businessman, reliefer, etc.
And only the blindest supporters Of
the New Deal fail to see that it has
made many grave mistakes in the
administrative field, even as it has
made great advances in bringing be-
fore the people problems which
must eventually be solved.
The intangible issue is that of the
third ,term-of one mans indispen
stability. Mr.. Willkie has been hitting
that issue hard and some of tn.
experts believe that it may turn ou
to be the decisive issue of the cam
paign. No man, says Mr.. Willkie, il
vital to the country-and once tn,
idea gets around that one man i
indispensable, it will be just {;

British Down 2 German Planes Total About 5O

LONDON Feb. g (P) - Two German war planes were shot down by British fighters, the Air Ministry announced today as Nazi airmen raided the British east coast for the second time in three days, drawing machine gun fire from several little traWlerS which they attempted to attack.
 The fire of the traWlers gave concrete form to the warning of Winston Churchill that all Brit ish vessels plying the North Sea would henceforth be armed ag- ainSt German bombing and mach inc gunning.
 The Air Ministry said that of the planes downed in the battle with the British fighter planes, one fell off the Northeast coast and the other near Staibbs Head Scotland.
 The British said this brought a total of German aircraft lost on such raids to fifty or over.

The control of the pipe line fields which it fed is cited as the objective and spec ulation over the possibility of a British, French and Turkish thrust in the near east by spring.

Connecticut Will Support Roosevelt

NEW HAVEN Feb g tP) - Democratic National Committee man David Fitzgerald predicted that the Connecticut delegation to the National Convention would probably support President F. D. Roosevelt for a third term,
 Fitzgerald expressed the opin- ion that the state delegation would support Postmaster Gen eral Farley for the Democratic presidential candidacy if MT. F. D Roosevelt declines a third term.
 However he denied reports that the Connecticut delegation would be pledged to the candi- dacy of Farley.
