STOKES CONTRASTS
NOMINEES ON TOUR
Writer Finds Everything Peaceful and Orderly on F. D. R.’s Train Compared to Hurly-Burly Tension And Excitement of Willkie Special.
By THOMAS L. STOKES
Times Special Writer
COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 14.—The uphill battle that Wen-! dell L. Willkie is waging for the Presidency, involving as it does a struggle against the prestige of a President in office in an emergency and against a powerful and skillful politicat’ organization, is no better demonstrated than by a contisst of the two men on tour. This writer has traveled up and down and across the country with Mr. Willkie in recent weeks and now has Just finished the most ambitious of President Roosevelt’s “non-political” national defense inspection trips which took him into Penn-

Frieda Hempel Expects U. S. To See Return of Opera Houses.
By JOE COLLIER The day will come, said Miss Frieda Hempel, internationally known soprano, when American towns and cities again will have an opera house, just as they now have a court house. ~ And the day will come, said Reinald Werrenrath, baritone, who formerly sang with the Metropolitan Opera Company, when people “will| yip for opera.” Both are in Indianapolis to attend, as guests of honor, the National Committee for Music Appreciation banquet tonight in the Clay-
The writer traveled with President Roosevelt in 1936 when he was seeking re-election for a second term. There was a sort of gayety aboard the train then that was infectious. The Roosevelt crowd then was still comparatively new ‘in office, the glamour had not worn off and things occasionally went wrong.
‘Move With Precision
Now the Presidential aides move about their tasks with mechanical precision that comes of long practice, and, of course, confidence in the man who rides in the special car on the end of the train. There is some doubt among them this year, just a shade. They were interested, for instance, in’ trying to| ascertain. the comparative size and | enthusiasm of the crowds which came out to see Mr. Willkie in Pennsylvania and Ohio a week ago and those which lined the streets for the President. The power and influence which adheres to a President in office expressed itself outwardly in two directions, among the political managers along the line, and among the people, themselves. For days the local politicians had been making every political arrangements for this “non-political” tour, working as efficient cogs in a great political machine. This was exemplified in Pittsburgh, for instance, in the holiday for city em-

Republicans are using “talkies” in their 1940 campaign. More than 20,000 persons daily are attending free picture shows depict- | ing “Government in action,” State Chairman Arch N. Bobbitt said. Most of the shows, which run about an hour and a half, are sponsored by city and county party organizations. Besides picturing the state and national nominees, films illustrate such campaign issues as “debt, taxation and expanding bureaucracy,” Mr. Bobbitt .said. One of the films, “Preserve the American Way,” is devoted to the state ticket. In it, Raymond E. Willis, Senatortial nominee, is shown at work at his Angola newspaper plant; Glen R. Hillis, nominee for Governor, and Charles M. Dawson, nominee for Lieutenant Governor, are seen on a visit to Mr. Howard County farm, with the other state nominees shown at work or at home. The second film, “We the People,” was prepared under the direction of the National Committee. It pro-

Mrs. E. C. Atkins, |
| before the Republican candidate's | nomination last June. | According to the information, Ed- | | ward J. Flynn, President Roosevelt's campaign manager, first telephoned | R. K. O. to protest against the con- | v=mplated release of the second Willkie film before the election. ! Mr. Flynn claimed that release at | (this time was unfair and would ‘amount to G. O. P. propaganda |since there is no comparable Democratic film to offset it.
“Yes” or “No” Demanded
The Flynn call, the Scripps-How-ard newspapers were informed, was followed by another telephone call to R. K. O. irom Frank Walker, Postmaster General, in Washington. This call was followed by still a third, House, from a man who said he was a White House secretary and wanted a. “Yes” or “No” answer as to whether the company intended to use the film now or hold it until after election. | The same argument was advanced ;lby both the Postmaster General ‘and the White House caller, namely that release. of the movie short at the present time would be unfair and constitute Republican propaganda. : Top R. K. O. officials decline to i discuss reports of New Deal pressure brought to suppress the film. They expressed surprise when confronted with an Aug. 14 announcement by R. K. O. itself officially announcing the release date for Oct. 4. .
Refuse Specific Answer
They refused to answer the specific question as to what happened etween Aug. 14 and Oct. 4 which led R. K. O. to decide to hold off the second short. The Aug. 14 announcement was found in a routine examination of back newspaper files. 'It was part of a R. K. O. publicily release to the effect that the first' Willkie short had been outranked in popularity in its field only by two Walt Disney features. The R. K. O. publicity release even set September as the preview date for the second Willkie film in the country’s important theaters. Last Friday, Samuel F. Pryor Jr. Eastern Republican campaign manager, charged the Democratic National Committee and the White House had “forbidden” showing of the. picture at this time. He asserted the alleged ban was an outright

AS WALLAGE AID
Opens His Indiana Tour at Terre Haute; Schricker, Minton Active.
By NOBLE REED Governor M. Clifford Townsend, special campaign aid to Henry A. Wallace, Democratic candidate lor Vice President, swung into Indiana this week for the first time in his speaking tour. : He will join Lieut. Gov. Henry F. Schricker, Governor candidate, and U. S. Senator Sherman Minton in a nightly barrage of speeches ail over the state.
Opening his Indiana tour at Terre Haute last night, the Governor directed his appeal to “firs voters,” urging them to take a keener interest in politics and government. . Calls for Participation
“Indifference and not torce is the greatest enemy of democracy,” he said. “In times past governmens seemed remote to the average citi~ zen but today it touches us all intimately. Democracy cannot live in the sluggish atmosphere of public indifference.”
In a speech at Shelbyville, Senator Minton charged that attempts of Republican speakers to minimize what has been done for national defense were ‘‘cheap political dema-= goguery.” He directed his attack upon Judge James A. Emmert, of Shelbyville, who had said that the New Deal defense program was “all on paper.” “I must assume that Judge Emmert had no other purpose than to mislead the people and stir up dissatisfaction in our national ranks when he should be preaching unity and telling the truth about matters of national. defense,” the Senator said. Says Party Lines Disappearing
Mr. Schricker, who will open the week's campaigning at La Porte tonight, told audiences at Ft. yne during the week-end that party lines are ‘gradually breaking down.” “This contest is not so much a battle between the Democratic and Republican parties as it is between two great schools of thought, with the liberals of the nation on one side and the reactionary element on the other,” He said. “The Democratic Party has always been known as the liberal party to those of us who are standing behind President Roosevelt in his efforts to lift the nation out of the debris occasioned by Republican misrule. This is a good sign for it tells us that not only Democrats but Republicans approve the program.”
Marion County Democratic candidates will speak .at five ward meetings in Indianapolis tonight. The meetings will be at 2426 N. Pennsylvania St.; 729 WwW. 25th St.; 950 Hervey St.; 1521 Pleasant -St.;
