have pleaded with their candidate |;

to make this issue and carry it ' straight from the shoulder.

Favors Aid to Britain

. As previously during the campaign, Mr. Willkie still took his stand alongside the Administration as to help for Great Britain. But he drew a distinction, and for this purpose he capitalized the latest international development—the Ger-man-Italian-Japanese pact. This, he said in effect, has suddenly thrown into clear relief the mistaken foreign policy of the Administration over the last few years, especially “the dramatic gestures,” “the swashbuckling words,” the “talking,” which have created enemies for the United States all over the world. And meanwhile, Mr. Willkie charged, the Administration has not prepared to defend the nation. He went into detail about the state of the country’s defenses, quoting from official War Department figures. All through the day in Ohio, briefly, and then at length in Cleveland, he read his indictment. Today he continued to hammer on . the same theme ‘as he toured the steel producing centers of Ohio and Pennsylvania, appealing for labor votes and offering himself as the “horse” best ‘qualified to get. America out of midstream between.peace and war.

Jobs Come First, He Says

At Youngstown, Mr. Willkie said that “there is not on the statute books a single protective statute that I will not vigorously. defend,” but added that “ocllective bargaining does no good if you have no jobs." “If this Administration is re- ! elected to office, no social security| will ever be paid to the workers o America . . . because this country will go bankrupt. » Earlier at Niles, he told a rear platform crowd that the task before America is to get jobs for 9,600,000 unemployed and said that he would work for an expanding American economy, with rising wage levels and a higher standard of living.

Speaks in Pittsburgh Tonight

Mr. Willkie will deliver the major labor speech of his campaign at 8 p. m. (Indianapolis Time) at Forbes | Field, Pittsburgh. He arrived in Pittsburgh at 11:30 a. m. (Indianapolis Time) and immediately set out on a 53-mile tour of the industrial section, including visits to steel mills where extem-| poraneous speeches are scheduled. The cheering response of 20,000 in Cleveland served to reveal the strain of anti-war sentiment which through the Midwest and which was apparent in the votes of members- of Congress from Ohio and adjoining states against the conscription bill ja few weeks ago. The reaction was similar to the spontaneous whopp that greeted Mr. Willkie on his Western trip, first

undér way today.

Bill in Congress 38 Years O.K.'d

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3 wv. P.). —The White House today received, for President Roosevelt's signature, a bill which had been before Congress inone form or another for 38 years. The conference report on the bill to penalize misbranding of woolen products was acted upon by the Senate yesterday and this finally. completed Congressional action on the bill. The report had been held up two days by Senator Elmer Thomas (D. Okla), who charged that it would injure cotton growers. Similar objections had prevented the passage of the bill for more than a third of a century.

MAN, 97, DOES HIS BIT IN FIRE

Rescues Canceled Checks And Then Is ‘Rescued’ By Neighbors.

When there's an emergency in the family, it’s up to a man to help out. This was the general theory on which 97-year-old William Hack operated today when fire broke out in the home of his son-in-law, Rockville Road and Lyndhurst Drive, But when a man’s ‘97, Nek not as much help as he once would have been no matter if he is perky beyond his years. So, after Mr. Hack had personally rescued the canceled checks and books of his business, the House of Flowers, 5801 W. Washington St., neighbors carried him out—not ‘because he was in any danger, but because they said he was insisting on aiding them beyond his years. Mr. Hack, who was in the flower

years, is a very perky citizen, indeed. Hé¢ made it clear that he thought it was a swell joke on him —to have lived for 97 years and then to have to deal with his first home fire.

BARBER CASE TO GO TO SUPREME COURT

Criminal Court Judge Dewey My-' ers today upheld a Municipal Court conviction of John Lipscomb on a charge of practicing barbering without a license. A $25 fine and costs had been assessed by the lower court. Ira Holmes, attorney for Mr. Lipscomb, said he will appeal the conviction to the State Supreme Court on the grounds that the State Board of Barber Examiners is illegally constituted.

Pet Dog Causes Woman's Death

A PET DOG WHICH had been her companion for three years, caused a woman’s fatal plunge down the stairs of an E. Washington St. building. Mrs. Martha ‘Rothbaust, 49, of 312 E. Washington St., took “Tootsie” with her on a leash last night when she went to 325% E. Washington St. to inquire for a friend. As she was walking down the steps, the dog’s leash became entwined about her legs, causing her to fall about 15 steps into the street. “Tootsie” barked until passersby came to Mrs. Rothbaust’s aid and summoned police, then she ran home. Mrs. Rothbaust died in City Hospital of a fractured skull. Her husband, Jesse M. Rothbaust, who had bought “Toosie” for his wife, arrived home a short time later to find the dog barking frantically. Later he learned of his wife’s fatal fall. . Survivors, besides the husband, a Spanish-American War veteran, include Mrs. Rothbaust’s mother, Mrs. Mayme Park, Indianapolis.

PHILIPPINES HERALD BACKS HOWARD PLAN

MANILA, P. I, Oct. 3 (U. P).— The Philippines Herald said today

of the proposal of Roy W. Howard, |~

of the Scripps-Howard Newspapers, that a United States survey commission be sent to study Far Eastern conditions with a view to improving relations with Japan: “It is not to be thought that Mr. Howard is suggesting a plan to swerve American policy towards appeasement. But if the plan can lead to an understanding without the surrender of fundamental aims by either country, then it is eminently feasible and deserves the fullest consideration.”

GOAL PRIGES GO UP

25 CENTS T0 DOLLAR ;

_ Coal will cost the domestic consumer from 25 to 50 cents more per ton this winter than last. The increase is the result of the National Bituminous Coal Act, which went into effect Tuesday, raising prices to distributors at the mines. Because there is a seasonal advance in price from summer to winter, the actual increase in price over what it was before Tuesday will be greater—from 75 cents to a dollar, depending on the kind of coal purchased. New ton prices on representative types of coal follow: Coke, $9.55; Indiana egg, Class C, $5.25; W. Va. egg, Class C, $6.50 and lump $7: West Virginia egg, Class B, $7 and lump $7.50; No. 3 Pocahontas, shovel lump, $8.25 and stoker, $7.25. The prices were issued by H. A. Rogers, Indianapolis Coal Merchants Association secretary, who said there was no danger of a shortage of coal. :

candidate, comes from the Second District, is not expected to upset the Republican sentiment in the Congress contest. The Democrats themselves are not counting on it. Mr. Halleck first was elected to Congress in a special election in January, 1935, to fill. the vacancy created by the death of Rep. Frederick Landis Sr.,, who was elected in 1934. Mr. Halleck defeated George Durgan, Democrat, 50,000 to 45,000 in the special election, and in 1936 Mr. Halleck defeated Hugh A. Barnhart, now State Excise Director, by a 4700 majority, Two years ago Mr. Halleck defeated Homer Stonebraker y a 22,000 majority. Although geographically adjoining, the respective voting population of the First and Secor Districts are vastly different. First District politics are dominated by organized labor” of the many steel mills in Gary, Whiting and East Chicago, while the Second District is mostly rural population with small town business and industry. Rep. William |T. Schulte, of Hammond, has been elected to Congress by the First District Democrats for eight years with majorities ranging from 10,000 to 30,000. Rep. Schulte appeals essentially to labor and this, coupled with the fact that Lake County is and has been for many years a Democratic stronghold, has led observers to believe he will be re-elected. : Opposing him on the Republican ticket is M. Elliott Belshaw. voung Hammond attorney, who lost the
