WASHING TON. May 9.-The
fayorite topic for political specula-
ton around washington these days
is: What is Wendell L. Willkie up
to?
This speculation is based on sew
eral factors:
Cd Willkie is no gutter. His
political and business activities from
college days are proof of it. Even
if he we're given to sudden and i'm
petuous changes, it's impossible to
conceive of his embarrassing those
who have stuck with him for four
years by taking himself out of the
national political picture.
CD Close observers here say
that there was never any possibility
OF WILKES capturing majority of
the Wisconsin delegates and that
he was well aware of it.
The conclusion can only be that
Willkie has something up his sleeve
and had it there before the Wis
consin primary took place.
Willkie hasn't even breathed what
that something might be to his most
loyal supporters. Observers believe
that he won't say anything to tip
his hand before the Republican
convention.
In recent months, Willkie must
have concluded his strategy was
wrong; that pursuing his mapped
political path would get him no.
where; that he could do more good
for himself and his political beliefs
by doing complete about-face. If
that is true, what then is this new
strategy?
Observers here In both Republican
and Democratic ranks estimate that
Willkie might possibly swing from
five to ten million votes by vigorous
campaigning for one presidential
,andidate. In year when the
