EVELAND-InSide reason why Roosevelt is making his special cam- paign trip to this key industrial center is contained in these two sharply contrasting sets of figures:
 In 1896 he carried Cleveland by 184,00O. AS of today, local polls still show him leading-but only by CO., 900 to 80,000 votes. This is not enough to offset the big Willkie ma- jorities sure to come from the rural districts.
 So unless the President can stoke up his vote in Cleveland and the other industrial centers of Ohio, he can kiss the Buckeye State goodbye.
 Today the odds in Ohio favor Willkie. However, the battling is so close that Republican managers pri- vately hold their breaths. Tn secret estimates, they figure Willkie will skin through by from 50,000 to 75,- GOO.
 This. interestingly enough, is just about the margin which the Demo- crats privately expect to win. Dur ing Roosevelt's Dayton Columbus trip several weeks ago, Ohio Demo- crat leaders told him their private polls showed 50,000 to 60,000 mar gin.
 So with Ohio casting over 3,OO0,- 900 votes this year, these estimates show how close the boys are figuring and how uncertain is the Buckeye State.

LONDON, Nov II. tUP)-Prime
Minister Winston Churchill paid
tribute to the late Neville Chamber
lain in the house of commons to-
day, asserting that "he was de-
ceived and cheated by a wicked
man."
Whatever else history may or
may not say of these tremendous
and terrible years we can be sure
Neville Chamberlain acted perfectly
sincerely according to his lights"
Churchill said. He was deceived
and cheated by wicked man"
Churchill disclosed that after re-
signing as PRIME minister Cham
berlain had refused all honors.
He would die like his father,
plain Mr.. Chamberlain" Churchill
said.
Hitler protests with frantic words
and gestures that he only desired
peace. What do these rawlings and
