Americas Sweetheart Joins Woman
Novelist, Fresno Farmer in Urging
Vote AGAINST F. R. for Third Term

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. IA. (UP)
Mary Pickford, Kathleen Norris
and A. Setrakian, Fresno grape
grower, denounced the third-term
principle with satire and oratory
last night and advocated the elec-
ton of Wendell Willkie at q, CAM

wasn't there" as her contribution
against a third term for President
Roosevelt.
Mrs. Norris, the novelist, told
the cheering audience that "our

ference? Was it skill when he
telephoned Hitler and Mussolini
and asked France and England to
sell Czechoslovakia down the river?"
The candidate said President
Roosevelt has proclaimed he 'is in
dispensable, like Hitler, Mussolini
and Stalin."
'I expect to tell the people that
the doctrine of indispensability is
just plain, ordinary bunk he said.
I'VE have existed for 160 years un-
der the tradition that two terms
are enough for any man."
Referring then to Munich, Willkie
demanded:

knowledge of foreign affairs2"

and we don't want a frightened
leader"
I'm his speech of acceptance of
the nomination he said he did not
want, President Roosevelt said he
had reached an age where a man
seeks retirement. There is no rea-
son why we should not go to the
polls and give him that retirement
by voting for Willkie-a man who
is not afraid" she said.
Setrakian charged the Roosevelt
administration has reduced farmers
to "the lot of poems He said he
was registered Democrat, but
would vote for Willkie.

He criticised failure to arm the
United States adequately when Hit
Ter was building up his mechanized
forces and the sinking of the
London economic conference.
Instead of being skilled in inter-
national affairs" Willkie went on,
Franklin Roosevelt has handled for
eign affairs is a fumbling way.
One day he is an interventionist.
the next he is an isolationist-it
depends on which crowd he is talk

The Joliet utterance was the

beginning of his westward campaign

Chicago he had renewed his attack

Italy's offensive toward
the Suez canal penetrated

Egypt against italy was believed
likely.
In Rome, the Italian high COM

along the Egyptian-Libyan frontier.
but officials still eclined to confirm
reports that general offensive
against Egypt had been in progress
for day or two. There was sharp
fighting along a 20O-mile front in

British claiming they had inflicted
considerable casualties on the Ital-

There was tinkle and the penny
