GUARD AND ARMY DISPUTE BARED

Delay in Call Disrupts Lives Of Militiamen, Gen. Grahl -Says.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26 (U. P.). —A controversy between the National Guard and the War Department over the. administration of conscription and the mobilization of the Guard was revealed today. The disagreement was revealed by publication of the speech of Brig. Gen. Charles H. Grahl of Iowa, president of the Adjustants General Association, at the opening of a twoday conference qf the association and of the executive council of the National Guard Association yesterday: He charged: That the War] Department was | disrupting the lives of Guardsmen— by delaying their call to active service; that the states are being required to meet expenses for conscription which should be met by the Federal Government; that

ABOARD WILLKIE SPECIAL TRAIN, Sept. 26.-— Wendell L. Willkie has learned something from his Western “try-out” about political campaigning and its methods and appears ready to profit by his experience. Though this is not a flat and final prediction. The fellow is unpredictable. He’ seems to have sensed the wisdom of his advisers and doctors in arguing against $0 many back platform appearances and lengthy discourses from the rear of the train as too much of a strain on his physique, remarkable as it is.

Concentrates on East

Consequently, his program henceforth calls for less talking from the back platform—though he still expects to show himself briefly as much as possible—and | more emphasis and attention to formal appearances before large audiences in what might be termed “major” speeches.” : | He has scheduled for himself, however, quite a sizable chore in

Warner Born in Ohio Mr. Warner, the new national] commander, was born in 1891 on|

Nov. 11—the date which later was| to be celebrated as Armistice Day. A native of Lima, O., he attended Ohio State University where he] showed an early interest in military | affairs by joining the Cadet Corps. After graduating, Mr. Warner joined the 1st Ohio Cavalry, Na-| tional Guard, and served on the Mexican border. At the close of the border skirmishes in 1917, he married Dorothy Casad Bennett of El Paso, Tex. They have three children. Two days after the wedding, he © was commissioned a 2d lieutenant in the U.

Confined to Hospital

On return from war duty, Mr.| Warner was confined to a Ft. Sam Houston, Tex., hospital until March, 1919, when he retired from the Army for disability. He became a practicing attorney and was one of the founders of the American Legion in Ohio and a charter member of Vernon McCune Post 132, Toledo. .

The doctor’s experience with Mr. Willkie has been no less than an ordeal. No temperamental star of screen and radio—and such are his regular clients—ever posed such a problem as the talkative fellow from Indiana. He found it almost impossible to convince the husky gentleman that he should slow up. Continually the doctor marveled at the candidate's physical stamina and his recuperative powers. The doctor, who has come to be a very warm admirer of Mr. Willkie, thinks finally, however, that he has been effective, though he can make no positive guarantees. From time to time he has almost given up. He threw up his hands the other night, in resignation, at the end of a heavy day of speaking. The candidate's voice was beginning to wane and rasp and he had been ordered to ease off. The doctor was trying to catelf a quick dinner

when the train slowed down and |

Mr. Willkie’'s voice came into the dining room over the loud speaker. “I just got up and switched it off so I could enjoy my dinner,” Dr. Barnard said. .

Speaks in Omaha Tonight

Today Mr, Willkie continued his campaign in the wheat and corn country which went Democratic in 1932 and 1936 as his train moved southward out of the Dakotas toward Omaha, Neb., where he delivers his major farm speech at 8:30 p. m. (Indianapolis Time), It will be broadcast. The speech is expected. to follow the approach he used last night when he asked an audience at Fargo, N. D., whether President Roosevelt's Administration should be retained “because the price of wheat is less today than it was. in 1936.” His attack on administration farm policy tonight is expected to center on results, rather than objectives. He already has said he would continue the present farm program of benefits for soil conservation unless and until a “better” one is evolved. The G. O. P. nominee promised | two chiefs of the Sioux Indian! tribe who boarded his train that | he will appoint a new Federal di-!

rector of kes affairs, replacing the veteran John Collier, if he is elected President. The two chiefs, William Spotted Crow and John Middlebull, dressed in full ceremonial regalia for a lounge car audience with the Republican presidential nominee during which they pledged him the support of “the great Sioux nation.” : Mr. Willkie looks back now upon his whirlwind tour through the Midwest, Southwest, Pacific Coast and Northwest as an experimental venture, a test by trial- and error, to perfect his campaign technique and smooth out the rough elements.

Different Willkie Now

The real campaign effort, however, is to be made in the East and the Midwest, for it is the electoral votes of the populous states there upon which Mr. Willkie must depend if he wins this election. The East. will see, as a political campaigner, a different Wendell willkie than the one who was a disappointment in his initial radio appearance at Elwood, Ind., when he made his acceptance address, and a speaker who, in his impromptu per- | formances, combines force and] grace, vigor and a casual ingratiating manner, : He has learned to talk more slowly over the radio and to enunciate more clearly.
