WILLKIE SWINGS

AT F.D.R. WEALTH

Suggests Hatch Act Be Amended to Force a President And Cabinet Members to List Assets on Taking and Leaving Office.

By THOMAS L. STOKES

Times Special Writer COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Aug. 8 —Wendell L. Alkie swung at the Roosevelt family and the New Deal towv through proposed amendments to the Hatch Act which, enacted, would reveal some interesting facts about the oosevelt family fortune and about New Deal family influice in Washington, The Republican candidate said he had no one spe[Lically in mind, but the President, members of his family, ind Government officials will] “4 4 know what he means by his proposal that the Hatch Act be amended in two particulars: 1. To

groundwork for a “debate on the New Deal's foreign policy which will show exactly what is being done to put this nation into war.” Several of the conferees insisted, that the group merely sought to ascertain how many speakers they could muster, what phases of the bill they would attack, and general problems of strategy.

Barkley Confident

Senator Barkley scoffed at claims) of anti-conscription Senators that they could rally enough strength to defeat the Burke-Wadsworth bill, and predicted not more than 24 negative votes. Senator Edward R. Burke (D. Neb.), co-author of the bill, shared Mr. Barkley's view but forecast an opposition vote of only 20. The Senate, working under the debate limitation granted late Tues- | day restricting each Senator to 20] minutes on the bill itself and 20! minutes on each amendment, still

Prepares Defense

While Mr. Willkie advanced his proposed reforms in the interest of the “purification of polities” started

by the Hatch Act of 1939 and its recently enacted amendments, he no doubt has in mind the campaign charges that will revolve about his own recent presidency of a great corporation. He is preparing his defense by taking the offensive, and in characteristically bold fashion

The Republican candidate expects |

the attack against him to emphasize his former utility connections and to label him as a wealthy man and as the candidate of the rich. He told farm leaders in their closed session at Des Moines, it is learned. that he had $30.000 invested in the utility corporation he formerly headed, Commonwealth & Southern, and $150,000 invested in Indiana farms. Altogether he and Mrs. Willkie are worth about $600,000, he has told friends. Undoubtedly he will let this all come out later, .

Challenge to F.D. R. Seen

His proposals seem to constitute a challenge to the President to disclose the amount of money his family has made since Mr. Roosevelt has been in the White House. The earnings of the Roosevelt familv in that time have amounted to $2,500,000. according to John T. Flynn in his recent book "Countrv Squire in the White House Mr Flynn points out that Mrs. Roosevelt has contributed a large part of her earnings to charity, If the proposed Hatch Act amendments were enacted before inauguration, President Roosevelt would have to list his property assets, whether he were defeated or reelected, as would the other officials designated by the proposed amendments Mr, Willkie announced that {if elected he would file his own property assets, and have members of his family file theirs, whether the Hatch Act amendments were | adopted or not.

Roosevelt Jobs Listed

James Roosevelt, in motion pictures, and Elliott Roosevelt, in radio, are in businesses that are subject to regulatory commissions in Washington. Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr. is Just entering a New York law firm that has business with the Securities and Exchange Commission, though his emplover has said that the voung man will not be well enough equipped to handle business before the SEC before the present Administration ends How many members of the families of New Deal officials are representing clients hefore Government departments has never heen catalogued, but it would not be surprising if the Republicans assembled such information as the campaign progressed

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 (U. P).. Congressional first guesses on a Cabinet successor to Postmaster General James A. Farlev centered largely around two men today Senator James M.

Others felt that Mr. Flynn's new duties as National Democratic Chairman which he assumed Aug. 17 would make it difficult for him to do that job,

to urge the closing of any loopholes now existing in the law and said he would support any amendments to make the act “air-tight in carrying out both its provisions and its spirit.” This was in keeping with his blunt disregard of a detailed opinion by Henry P. Fletcher, counsel of the Republican National Committee, | which pointed out certain loopholes | through which, by setting up addi- | tional committees, the party could] get around the Hatch Act's three-million-dollar Presidential campaign limitation and the $3000 limitation on individual contributions. Mr. Willkie served notice that his | Presidential campaign would be limited to three million dollars and individual contributions to $5000, brushing aside the Fletcher opinion, He did not even read it. He was asked again today whether he had read it since. I "I have not,” he replied brusquely.!

the Western Hemisphere, Danaher Amendment Beaten

Mr. Adams, who yesterday conceded his proposal has little chance of approval, said today that it has strong support and that Administration leaders are working to defeat it. The amendment might be the springhoard for a full discussion of New Deal hemisphere defense policy. No President, Mr. Adams said, should be given power to send militiamen over such a wide area. Debate on the Guard bill yesterday was featured by the defeat of a proposal to allow the 242000 National Guardsmen to resign within 20 days after passage of the meas-

ure, and a renewal of the Holt-Min-

ton clash Administration leaders hailed the defeat of the amendment by a 36 to 47 vote as a victory for proponents of beth conscription and the GuardReserves measures. The was offered by Senator John A. Danaher (R. Conn.), who argued that militiamen who signed up for service never contemplated being
