Wi|Ikie Is Opposed
To Coalition Slate
In New York State
Coils Nominating Some
Men for Various Offices
Impossible and Unwise
BY the Associated Press.

1S INC AccoSiaeeo ieoes
NEW YORK, June 6.-Wendell l..
willkie said today that q suggestion
that all three parties-Republican,
Democrat and American Labor
join in the nomination of the same
individuals for various New York
State Offices obviously was both i'm
possible of accomplishment and
would be unwise If it could be
brought about"
Mr.. WILKES remarks were made
In answer to questions by newsmen
regarding a movement started by
Sydney s. Baron, New York pub
licist, for a coalition slate headed
by Mr.. Willkie for governor.
Equally unreal" Mr.. Willkie
added, "is the attempt by some to
create an atmosphere in which the
support OF one particular candidate
for nomination is the test of an
individuals loyalty to his party.
Cites Dewey Stand on Fish.
"This is primary and convention
time-the period In which each
party is selecting its candidates, NJ
he added, every member OF party
has a right-more than an obliga-
tion-to scrutinize each proposed
candidate carefully and to approve
or disapprove If he desires"
As an example, Mr.. Willkie noted
that Thomas E. Dewey, "a leading
candidate for the Republican gu
bernatorial nomina ton, with COM
plete propriety, is opposing the
nomination of Hamilton Fish (for
reelection to Congress-, another
Republican, in the face of party
organization Endorsements of Mr.
Fish"
by the same token" said Mr..
Willkie, ANY member Of the Re
publican party, without question of
his loyalty to his party or rehec-
tion on his motives, can be for or
against the nomination of any can
didate for office"
Studies Candidates Merits.
Mr.. Willkie said that he, person.
ally, was reading the declarations
of the aspirants for nomination,
Judging their records, their char
acters, their past statements, their
courage, their convictions, before
deciding whom I. shall support. I
know no other proper method as a
basis for decision"
Mr.. Willkie said he hoped that
many candidates will arise for each
office before the primaries and that
"the presence of many contesting
candidates for nomination is a sign
of party health and strength, not
disease and weakness"

REPRESENTED
PROPORTIONATELY

The number of Negro soldiers
practically equals the ratio of the
Negro race to the total population
of the United States. This is in
conformity with a War Department
announcement in October, 1910, that
"the strength of the Negro person
mel of the Army of the United Stat
es will be maintained on the general
basis of proportion Of the Negro
population of the country and that
Negro organizations will be estab-
lished in each major branch of the
service, combatant as well as non
combatant."
During 1871 this policy had been
carried out to the extent that 100.
900 Negro soldiers were in regular
Army units brought to war strength
and in brand new component parts
of the new Army. But this was
still peacetime.
