NEW YORK, Oct. 26-Gif1ord
Pinchot, former Republican Cover
nor of Pennsylvania, declared last
night that he was for the reelection
of President Roosevelt because "he
knows what it is all about and
"Mr. Willkie is beyond his depth
Willkie may be able to handle a
public utility holding company -
Gov. Pinchot said in prepared
radio address but he is clearly in
competent to guide our country
through the greatest world-cataclysm
Of all time"
"If these were ordinary times, "
the two-term former Governor con-
tinued, Il would be heart and soul
against Mr.. Willkie for what he is
and for what he has done. I would
oppose him most of all because he
is the spearhead of big business in
its attempt to get back the domina-
ton it used to have over the Gov
ernment and the people of the
United States"
Declaring that WILKES expert
ence in government was Just exactly
zero" Gov. Pinchot asserted that in
a time like this, what is far more
dangerous than Mr.. WILKES ignor-
ance of government at home is his
complete lack of training and ex-
perience in foreign affairs. He
is utterly without preparation for
the most critically important duties
the next President will have to
