The Wallace address, in part at
least, is expected to be built around
an effort to offset the broad appeal
for the farm vote in the McNary
acceptance address.
Party observers said they also ex-
pect Mr. Wallace to comment on the
attitudes of Mr.. Willkie and Senator
McNary toward the principle of re-
ciprocal trade agreements. Senator
McNary criticized the Hull agree
ments in his address last night.

SALEM, Greg, Aug. 2S.-Charles
L. McNary followed up his formal
acceptance of the Republican vice
presidential nomination by laying
plans today for a campaign speak
ing tour.
The veteran Oregon Senator had
conferences scheduled with national
ana State party leaders, who con-
vergcd here yesterday to hear him
criticize administration policies in
his acceptance address.
He expects to return to Washing
ton, D. c., and his post as Senate
minority leader shortly after Labor
Day.
Representative Martin, Repub-
lican national chairman, announced
that Weldell L. WILKES running
mate would make six or seven major
campaign addresses, the first to be
somewhere in the Midwest" after
September 20.
Agriculture First Topic.
Mr.. Martin said the topic of the
first address would be agricultural
subject Senator McNary described
as CLOSE to my heart" in his 30
minute acceptance address at the
State fair grounds here
Senator McNary criticized the
Roosevelt administrations farm
program. particularly its reciprocal
trade treaty system, which he said
had failed to "dissipate. alleviate
or liquidate the uneconomic condi-
tions" facing agriculture.
He asserted that in spite of sub
sidy payments farm income during
tthe seven years of the New Deal
averaged two billion dollars less
annually than during the previous
seven years of Republican admin
istrations.
He added that "any Secretary
of Agriculture would be hampered
by the reciprocal trade system
Power Development Urged
The vice presidential nominee
urged tnat the Federal Government
continue the development of hydro
electric power, declaring that pow
er from navigable streams should
be a common heritage"
He advocated maximum benefits
for domestic consumers, farmers and
small users of power, declaring they
should be the yardstick by which
we measure the usefulness and
serviceability of every Federal de-
velopment."
He told the crowd that he op-
posed involvement in a foreign
military adventure, but scored
peace of appeasement' or the sur
render of our national dignity, in
dependence of action. our political
freedom and the civilized values We
cherish
Senator McNary was notified he
was the party's selection by Gov.
Stassen Of Minnesota.
Called Indicated Choice.
An early-morning rain and cloudy
skies held the crowd to only a frac-
ton of the 10000 expected by the
Republican National Committee.
Senator McNary's speech followed
activities which opened at noon with
a luncheon attended by national
Republican leaders. Here, Mr.. Mar
tin described Senator McNary as
the "undictated" vice presidential
choice and the perfect man to sup

Mr.. Martin said the conscription
bill would pass Congress soon, but
it would not be a campaign issue.

McNory Acceptance Speech
'Democrotic,' Says Flynn

NEW YORK, Aug. % Ex-senator
McNary'S address formally accepting
the Republican vice presidential
nomination was termed "one of the
best Democratic speeches of the
campaign thus far" by Democratic
National Chairman Edward j. Flynn
in statement issued today through
the party's national headquarters.
"Of course, as the Republican vice
presidential nominee he found it
necessary to poke a little criticism
at the administration" Mr.. Flynn'S
statement said, but he left no doubt
that he approves of the Roosevelt
social aims and that he is proud of
the votes he cast for New Deal
measures"
Mr.. Flynn said that after reading
the speech it might be in order to
suggest that Mr. Willkie try to bring
about unity in his own party before
talking about the need for national
unity"
In view of his (McNary'S) strong
Endorsement of the Federal power
projects, notably Boulder Dam and
Bonneville, the debate between the
Senator and his running mate, Mr.
Willkie, should be highly enlighten-
ing" the statement added. Mr..
Willkie won the Republican presi-
Dental nomination by his vigorous
opposition to these projects, which
he says are destroying private en-
terprise. The Senator evidently
thinks differently.
Senator McNary's sharp criticism
of the Reciprocal Trade Act, which
Mr.. Willkie has approved, should
provide further excellent ground for
debate. Also the Senator's state
ment that he would not recall a
single one of his Senate votes, in
Guiding his vote cast for the bill
eliminating holding companies in
the power business"

terday evenings debate reached its
climax when Senator Walsh and
Majority Leader Barkley summed
up the opposing arguments on the
question of postponing operation OF
the training program until the Ma
ton is actually threatened.
Senator Walsh contended the bill
would force young men into the

picion that the Nation may be at war
10 years from now.
Senator Barkley came back with
a warning that if the country waits
until the hour of danger is at hand,
it would take Is months to induct
and train the citizen soldiers.
Several minor amendments were
agreed to last night, including the
following:
BY Senator Connally, Democrat
of Texas, to limit the exemption for
officials in the executive branch
of the Federal Government to those
whose continuance is found neces-
sary by local draft boards.

Franchot Tone and Francis Lederer
and Actress Luise Rainer have been
cleared of accusations that they are
Communist sympathiZers in hear
ings by Chairman Dies of the House
Committee Investigating Un-Amer-
lean Activities.
Mr.. Dies said he would reserve
decision, pending further investiga-
ton, in the case of Lionel Stander,
also alleged to have had Com

and the others appeared before Mr..
Dies yesterday and denied accusa-
tions made by John L. Leech, a
California Communist organizer.
Motive Believed Humanitarian.
OF Mr.. Tone, Mr.. Lederer and Miss
Rainer, Mr.. Dies said. The evidence
is quite clear that these people have
permitted their names to be used
or have contributed money, or have
spoken under auspices of organiZa-
tions which the committee shas
found to be under the control of
Communist leadership. ''''
"While there is no evidence that
their cooperation was for any other
purpose except humanitarian, it is
nevertheless true that these organi-
cations used these people and their
money not for profesSed purposes
but for purposes inimical to the best
intaroct Of this country
