Pennsylvania Central Airline crash
in which Sen. Ernest Lundeen, FN.,
Mimi, and "a other persons were
killed.
Except for providing funds for the
inquiry. senate action on the reso-

CATION would be made by the spe-
cial air safety subcommittee headed
by Sen. Bennett G. Clark, D., Mo,
which is a permanent group and
only requires authorization from
the full committee to proceed.

You're wease|ing on Issue |ckes
1elegraphs wi|lkie: Objects to
Statement People Should Decide

WASHINGTON, Sept. "a. (UP)-
Secretary of the Interior Harold l..
Ickes today telegraphed Republican
Nominee Wendell l.. Willkie that
you can't pose as friend of public
power in the west and be a foo of
public power in Wall Street."
Ickes telegram accused Willkie
of "weaseling" on the public power
issue by telling an Oregon audience
that he agreed with tn power views
of Sen. Charles L. McNary, his
running mate.
Before you leave the northwest.
you owe it to the people of that
region and the country to be really
frank as to what your attitude will
be on the vital question of public
power if you are elected president"
Ickes said.
IckeS' message, released by the
Democratic National committee
here, referred to WILKES remarks
that he believed the people, rather
than the government. should decide
whether privately Owned companies
or public power districts should
sell cheap power generated by pub
lie plants.
Ickes accused Willkie of covering
up your record as a foe of public
power and he added that the
people are entitled to the facts since

sons at the Spokane, Wash, rail-
road station on his way to Butte,
Mont, where he speaks tonight.
wendell Willkie, an aristocrat?"
the Republican candidate said. We'll,
look me over, for I'm sure that
you'll never see another aristocrat
like me-"
Willkie recounted his early eX-
periences as a steel mill worker,
a California harvest hand, school
teacher and small city lawyer,
and said bitingly: II won't talk
about the early life of my oppo-
nent."
The Republican nominee said he
had never been accused of being
of the aristocracy until this year"

headquarters of Gen. Charles de
Gaulle, leader of Free Frenchmen,
said operations at Dakar are CON
tinuing" and forecast their success
full conclusion.
It was indicated here that the
British went into action when an
attempt by De Gaulle yesterday to
take over the base without blood
shed failed.
De Gaulle's forces appeared off
Dakar aboard French vessels with
an escort of British warships. II
was believed here that De Gaulle's
forces may have withdrawn some
distance from Dakar but they were
said to be continuing to cooperate
with the British in the effort to
seize control of French West Africa.
The British thus were believed tn
have gone into action against the
Dakar forces while De Gaulle was
presumed to be working with his
sympathizers within the colony to
overthrow the authorities loyal to
Vichy.
Nature of the British operations
was not indicated. De Gaulle's head
quarters said that he had with
drawn from Dakar to avoid further
battle with his French compatriots.
Official sources declined to say
whether British warships we're she'll
ing Dakar or whether another at
tempt to land troops had been made
at the port, which British and Free
France forces vainly attempted to
take over yesterday.
1t was indicated that De Gaulle
had lover estimated" the extent Of
Dakar support for his campaign to
rally French colonies to carry on
the war against Germany in opposi-
ton to the armistice concluded by
the French government at Vichy.
Prior to reports of renewed oper-
ations off Dakar, it had been an
nounced that De Gaulle was with
drawing his. forces after fighting
in which they suffered casualties
while trying to land an unarmed
party.
There appeared to have been
sharp fighting at Dakar, with cas-
