Political Manipulation
In Emergency Laid 10
Democrats by Wi|Ikie
Republicans Are Urged
To Clean House to Take
Advantage Of Opportunity
By the Associated Press.

Dy the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Oct. 3-Wendell L.
willkie yesterday charged the ad-
ministration with political manipu-
lation In time Of emergency and
faltering handling Of the desense
program.
writing in the current American
Magazine, Mr.. Willkie said he was
"sickened by the amount OF sheer
political finangling going on when
the very life of our country is at
stake"
At the same time, he commented:
I'VE may find fault with Mr.. Roose-
velt or disagree with Mr.. Churchill,
but insist that no real American
can take issue with what they are
presently fighting for-the preserva-
ton of democracy
Mr.. Willkie suggested a house
cleaning of the Republican party
which would result in a new political
alignment with independents and
Democrats in both the South and
the North.

political manipulations in
period of emergency" Mr.. Willkie
wrote, "becloud the Democratic rec
ord, to say the least. and this record,
together with the faltering manner
In which the national defense effort
has been conducted, give the Re-
publican party one of the greatest
Ii iet0 rha
portunity to step forward and carry
the banner of national defense and
world freedom.
But there is an indispensable
IF here" he adds. This leadership
can be achieved only if the Repub-
licans, under that or some other
name, will clean house of mere pollt-
ical obstructionists and the rem
nants of an outdated toryism on
domestic issues. Thus common
cause can be made in a new polit-
ical alignment with millions of in
dependents and Democrats in both
the South and the North.
THE party that puSSyfoots, op-
poses and obstructs during ma
tional emergency writes its own
death warrant, but the party that
co-operates and encourages ma
tional unity survives with colors fly
ing high.
The choice stands clearly before
the Republican party today. ."
