Then George (Gillie) Writes Wendell (Willkie) to Advise

Him That Indiana ‘Is in the Bag’; Also a Tale of the Emerald Empire by the Sapphire Sea.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY

Times Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.—Before Wendell L. Willkie left Rushville on his western campaign tour he launched an appeasement campaign with G. O. P. Congressmen which amounts to a neat job of direct-by-mail selling. Having been well informed about the heeduy going on

among his supposed followers] in Congress, he sent each of the 168 Republicans in the

House a warm personal letter | | begging their assistance and | advice and offering in return

his complete co-operation. Since the letters were so warmly worded, most of the Congressmen were pleased as Puck and many sat right down and dictated plies to five or more pages Then what happened? puffed-up Congressman sauntered about among his colleagues and finally let the cat out of the bag about receiving a personal letter “And so have I,” would be the reply of the other equally pleased Congressman and from there on it was every man for himself For instance, Rep. John M. Vorys (R. 0), who is a Yale man himself dictated a five-page reply Then he strolled over from the House Office Building to the Capitol and compared notes with Rep. Clarence J. Brown (R. O.), one of the Taft managers at the Philadelphia convention Brown Pleased, Too Brown was very pleased also Ne reason, turned

Wayne District: “MY DEAR GEORGE 1 think vou know without my ing so that would please heart very much if we could pile up a very heavy majority in Indiana this fall.

Gillie replied: “DEAR WENDELL: “Thank vou for you letter of Sept. 9, offering your assistance in my campaign for reelection and expressing the hope —which I reflect most heartily— that we pile up a heavy majority vote in Indiana this fall. “There is not a shadow of a doubt in my mind, Wendell, that you will receive an overwhelming vote of confidence and affection Nov. 5 from your fellow Hoosiers. Enthusiasm over vour candidacy is especially strong in my Con- | gressional District, which returned a heavv majority for the Republican ticket two years ago. There every indication that this majority will be increased in 1940 for Willkie, Willis, Hillis and—I hope—Gillie. “This letter will reach you during vour campaign tour through the West.

They will recognize that after the evacuation of the Government, Londen would become just another large city, in a class with Liverpool or Manchester. The hits scored on Buckingham Palace are of negligible importance compared with the damage admittedly done to water supply, gas, light and other public utilities. Disruption of electric power and telephone lines can cripple a government more surely than direct hits on its office buildings. Because the world still thinks in the ‘military language of the past,

LEWIS BACKING OFF. D. R. SEEN AFTER HUDDLE

'C. 1. 0. Chief May Return to Fold Despite Forecast of Roosevelt Defeat.

By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14. {looks today as though John | Lewis, chief of the C. I. O, the | United Mine Workers and of | Labor's Non-Partisan League, may \ play on the New Deal team again

| this year although he recently

| thought President Roosevelt would |be “ignominiously defeated” for a | third term. Unlike this week's indorsement {of Mr. Roosevelt by Mayor La | Guardia of New York, a campaign benediction by Mr. Lewis would represent a real reversal of senti(ment. Mr. La Guardia previously had revealed his intentions by (telling the 25th anniversary convention of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America in New York on May 13 that he was for Mr. Roosevelt. It is a political paradox Mr. La Guardia's substantially dis-

counted indorsement is likely to boost Mr. Roosevelt considerably

more than the indorsement which some persons believe shortly will be coming from Mr. Lewis.

C. IL O. Is for F. D. R.

That is because the C. I. O. strength apparently is preponder« antly for Mr. Roosevelt regardless of Mr. Lewis. Some of his chief aids and largest union groups are for a third term. Some persons, therefore, regard Mr, Lewis as a political liability and believe his indorsement of the Acdministration would do Wendell 1. Willkie, Republican Presidential candidate, more good than harm.

— Tt I ’

that

That is on the theory that most of Mr. Lewis’ followers will be for the New Deal anyway, but that some potential Roosevelt votes might be lost to the President in protest against Mr. Lewis’ support. In any event, political relations

(between the two men still are uncertain and must remain so

until one or the other reveals what is what. But reports that Mr. Lewis met secretly this week with Mr, Roosevelt are too persuasively sup-

| marined by silence

ported by collateral factors and some evidence to be wholly subin the Presidential headquarters, respectively, of the United States and the C. I. O.

Both Men Silent

Newspapers hit the street here with: 1. A report that Lewis had an unannounced conference with Mr. Roosevelt this week. 2. A statement that Mr. Lewis probably would announce his sup port of Mr. Roosevelt's re-election in an address next week. Those reports led immediately to: 1. Repeated failures to reach Mr, Lewis telephonically or otherwise for comment. 2. Failure to obtain comment at the White House. 3. A friendly tip from ‘one of Mr. Lewis’ close associates that the C. I. O. chief had seen the President and that a peace or armistice be=tween them was within the bounds of reason. 4, Reports from Pittsburgh, Pa, that labor leaders had heard from United Mine Workers sources that the Roosevelt-Lewis difficulty probably would be worked out. Mr. Lewis told the United Mine Workers convention in Columbus, 0., last February that the President would be “ignominiously defeated” if he sought a third term.
