CIVILIANS GET
 SPOTLIGHT IN
 RIFLE MATCHES
AP Feature Service

CAMP PERRY, Ohio, Sept. A. For the first time in 38 years civilian marksmen will have the stage al- most entirely to themselves at the annual National Rifle and Pistol Matches this year.
 Service men are too busy to send their usual representations but more than 1000 pistol and small bore rifle marksmen prepared for the five-day shooting beginning yester- day.
 Because of the national emergency and the necessity for conserving SC caliber equipment and ammunition all service rifle matches have been cancelled. In place of those matches fourteen new pistol and small-bore rifle events have been added to the program.
 At least a million rounds will bt fired for record alone and practice firing will use up about the same number.
 Dave Carlson, of New Haven Conn, national small bore rifle champion, and Harry Reeves, the Detroit Police pistol ace, are the mer to beat this year. Reeves teammatt on the Detroit Police team, Al Hem ming, is the present pistol champ but Reeves has been the hottest thing on the pistol range to this point this year

WILLKIE HITS new DEAL;
CALLS FOR DEFENSE UNITY

Assailing the confusion and the
continuing New Deal grab for power
in the defense program, Wendell l..
Willkie called for unified support of
the effort to make this country safe
from aggression.
Speaking before a recent mass
meeting in Hollywood, California, the
1910 G.. o. P. Presidential candidate
said "the cure for a bad defense pro
gram is not more opposition but more
support"
'The New Deal, in my view"
Willkie asserted, "has long sought
too much power, and behind the blind
of National Emergency is continuing
to do so today"
Willkie declared he was "unalter-
ably opposed" to this.
at is pointed out that our defense
program is being badly managed"
Willlie said, "that we are not getting
ahead as fast as we should; that
Washington is in confusion and that
the entire program is in danger. The
President has failed in the most ele-
mentary task of management
task of delegation-the task of call
ing in the ablest men in the country
and giving them power to act. 1t is
true that Washington is in confusion
1t is true that our defense program is
in danger.
'But the remedy for this is not to
obstruct the defense program. The
remedy is not to hang back, or to
carp, or to oppose those larger aims
which are involved in such moves as
that which we have undertaken in
Iceland No, the remedy is just the
opposite Of that.
owe must-every one of us-ap-
propriate this defense program as our
own. We must realize that in it lies
our greatest hope of freedom. And
we must get the kind of management
we want, not through petty criticism,
but through the application of the
enormous pressure of American pub
lie opinion, insisting that good job
must be done.
eve must lift this defense program
out of politics and above politics. We
must press every Congressman and
every Senator to do his or her utmost,
even though it means political sac
rifice, to make the wheels go round
and to make them go faster than any
body thought they could go around,
at is true that we should all of us
have taken alarm sooner than we did.
We should have begun to prepare the
moment the rise of Hitler revealed
our danger We did not. And the re-
suit is desperate need for speed
for action"
