WASHINGTON. This idea Of his
being too busy for politics-having
to devote his every energy to the
national preparedness programs
working out pretty well for Presi-
dent Roosevelt so far as publicity is
concerned. This goes for the news
papers. for radio news and COM
ment, and for the newsreels. 1t is
perhaps better for the Roosevelt
candidacy in the newsreels, proper
tionately. than in other mediums of
reaching the public.
ALI over the country opponents of
the third term, whether Democrats
or Republicans. are complaining
that when they go to the movies
they are treated to too high a per-
centage of Roosevelt propaganda
which they have no way of avoid
ing unless they want to miss the
rest of the show. They complain
further that the New Dealers in the
audience get plenty of chance to APP
plaud their hero, but very frequently
there is no showing of Wendell Will
kie at all.

Jus polls, are inclined to point out
that election day is still some time
away.
Major factors that might give the
Democrats real jolt, say these OBJ
servers, are ID the third term issue
and (2 the huge independent
vote" They point out that the first
factor-the third term issue-hasn't
been given a real airing by the Re-
publicans. While the President
has been the object of numerous pot
shots for his precedent-inaking deci-
sion, it hasn't been the shining light
in the Willlie crusade" that many
people were sure it would be. It
may be that Republicans are saw
ing this vital and highly i1fiam-
mable issue for their final drive
down the stretch.
The second factor-the independ-
ent vote-is equally important in
forecasting the results Of the cleo
ton. Neither the Republicans nor
the Democrats can claim" it until
the ballots are counted. Roosevelt
hackers know it was this vote which
elected the President in, 1896 and
feel sure he will hold it again In
November. Republicans, Of course,
feel that Wendell Willkie has cap
tured the imaginations Of this great
bloc Of Independents and when the
imagination is captured, they argue.
the ballot is so marked.
Small towns throughout the nation
have an important stake in current
defense plans, judging from the in
formation issuing from the offices of
the Civil Aeronautics authority here
in Washington.
This is the story:
1t is quite generally conceded that
one of the major weaknesses in the
nations defense system is the lack
ing of airports equipped to handle
large bombers. And in any plan to
strengthen this nations defense
these airports must in some way be
provided
The CAA is attempting to work
out program whereby this can be
brought about and at the same
time commercial aviation can be
given a real boost.
This would mean a network of
airports reaching to every section
Of the nation, all able to handle the
largest Of U. S. army bombers.
Thus these same airports could also
accommodate the large commercial
airliners. Commercial aviation
would be given its needed impetus
in many now remote" sections, and
the defense of the nation would be
strengthened.

boards, their medical, legal and
business advisers and other admin
istrative aids.
Some idea of how the nation
feels about material aid to Great
Britain, or at least how the admins

Radio Policing
AsU. Defense
FEC to ADD Hundreds of
Air inspectors to Its
Field Force.

WASHINGTON. - The Federal
Communications commission has
announced that it is augmenting its
field force with additional monitor
ing stations as we'll as new bases
of operation for mobile units to ac-
complish more effective policing OF
communications under the co-ordi-
mated national defense program.
Several hundred inspectors and
other radio experts will be employed
for this program, it was announced.
Since the commission is under civil
service the additional personnel will
come from these rolls.
The additional force is needed, it
was announced, to maintain COM
prehensive 24-hour surveillance of
all communication channels, includ-
ing broadcast and other radio trans
mission. Present radio monitoring
facilities will be supplemented with
10 primary long-range direction
finder stations. These stations de-
termine the bearings of unauthor-
ICED or otherwise suspicious COM
munications. The mobile equip
ment, which includes direction find
ing apparatus, traces the origin Of
such transmissions.
Watch All Circuits.
In addition to increased monitor
ing duties, the field division will be
required to watch radiotelegraph
and radiotelephone circuits for su-
perfluous signals, to record these,
and translate foreign language
broadcast material. 1t must also
make certain of the citizenship Of
several hundred thousand persons
now charged with the responsibility
of communications, as well as of
their immediate families.
This figure covers about 100000
licensed radio operators, including
amateurs; a like number of cable
and wire operators, and other en-
ployees such as those of broadcast
and other radio stations.
Keep Tab ON Electricity.
Another emergency task will be to
guard against the possible misuse
Of electrical apparatus, including
diathernny devices (now employed
in many thousand offices of physi-
cians), as transmitters in a manner
which might jeopardize the nations
security. Still another undertaking
will be to keep tab on possible use
of transmitters which have been
manufactured but not sold or Ii
censed for authorized cornmunica-
ton purposes. fs
The commission now operates
seven monitoring stations, in various
parts Of the country. which are
largely devoted to making routine
measurements Of frequencies and
determining the quality of ennis
sions, as well as spotting interior
ence. In the course of such work,
they observe unlicensed operation
incidentally. However, these mont
toring stations as now manned and
equipped could not cope with the
additional work contemplated.
Congress recently authorized
new monitoring station for Massa-
chusetts, but this is to relocate and
improve the existing one. The new
bases for mobile operation are be-
ing established at strategic, points
throughout the United States and its
possessions.

Presidents Haze
Many Advantages

Apparently this is just one of the
little perquisites which modern in
vention has given to the man who
happens to be in the White House.
Obviously it might be true no mat
ter whether he were Democrat or
a Republican, a man seeking merely
his second term or a man seeking
his fifth.
Whatever the President OF the
United States does is news. There
is no getting away from that. If
he dedicates new dam, or park. or
II he talks to a group of friends who
visit him at his country estate, it is
still news. But when Wendell Will
kie talks, he NOT being the Presi-
dent but merely candidate for the
office. that-to the minds of the gen.
f. tlemen who decide what goes out in
the newsreels-is just politics.
This is manifestly unfair, but it is
difficult to see what could possibly
be done about it. Mere existence of
the situation might be good point
against third term. though it would
exist if the race were merely for
second term.
1t is interesting to note that every
modern development with respect to
publicity has increased the advan-
tage of the man IN Office as against
the man trying to get in. In the
good old days the sitting President
was sometimes thought to be at
slight disadvantage. 1t was consid-
cred undignified for him to go barn.
