f. Willkie con-

The crowd cheered 3 Mr. Willkie said he had received a report that

: California “is going over the top.”

“The upsurge is on,” Mr. Willkie 8aid. “We're going to win.” He denied at Wilmington there was any issue between him and the Democrats on the agricultural program, “I tell you, I tell you, write it down, Wate going to win,” Mr. Willkie said Regarding the questions he posed for Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Willkie said that the American peaple “are en-

- titled to know the answers” before

election day to the following: “l. Why is it that after having spent $60,000,000,000 there, are over $,000,000 men still unemployed in

the United States — approximately]

the same number as when he ran for President in 1936? “2. Why fis it that we have stayed in a condition of chronic depression for seven and a half years when every other country in the world, prior to the outbreak of the World War, showed greater progress toward recovery? Asks Why of Third Term “3. Why is it that although he has failed to build an adequate defense for the United States he told Pongress last June to adjourn beause there was no nedessity of its staying in session? Since that date Le has requested of Congress billions of dollars in appropriations for the building of a national defense program, “4, Why it is that he should be permitted to violate a principle of 150 years against a third term—especially at a time when democracy

"1s already in peril without the ‘added: menace of long-term personal

power ? “5. How does he justify his alliance witih the most corrupt political machines in America; how does he explain his first gage intimacy with their hosses?” + In an earlier formal statement replying to Mr. Roosevelt's Boston speech, Mr, Willkie said: “(Mr. Roosevelt) is running for President of the United States— not for a member of the House of Representatives. He devoted a great deal of his time to attacking Joseph W. Martin, Republican floor leader of the House, and one the most ‘distinguished of Ameriogh public men. Charges Broken Pledges “The Washington correspondents, representing the press throughout the United States, last spring voted Mr. Martin the ablest member of the lower "House of Congress. I subscribe completely to that judgment of Mr. Martin's character and capacity. And I am proud to have him as National Chairman of the Republican party managing my campaign. “The campaign of Mr. Roosevelt is being managed by (the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Edward J. ‘Flynn of the Bronx. Mr. Roosevelt did not characterize Boss Flynn but Mayor (Fiorello H.) La Guardia (of New York) did in the following terms: “Ed Flynn of the Bronx is as low and as vicious as Croker or as Tweed.”” Mr. Willkie criticized the President for referring to Joseph P. Kennedy in Boston as ‘my” Ambassador. “I had assumed that the Ambasgador to the Court of St. James was the Ambassador of the people of the United States and not the personal representative of the President,” his statement said. “I, at least, would consider all government rep-

. yesentatives to be servants of the

people’ rather than of myself.” Before a cheering crowd of approximately 17,000 in Baltimore last night, Mr. Willkie accused, Mr. Roosevelt of breaking his pledges to the people and asserted that “on the basis of his past perfor ance with pledges to the people, 15 y u re-elect him (Mr. Roosevelt), may | expect war in April, 1041 ; |

'Sound Economy’

NEW YORK, Oct. 31 (U. P.). —Contending that Wendell L. Willkie would institute “sound . economic and financial policies” if elected, 79 economists from universities and business organizations over the nation indorsed him today. In a statement released by the Republican National Committee, the group asserted that “in the critical period that is confronting us. Business enterprise must be encouraged, not only for the jobs it creates, but also as part.and parcel of the national defense program.”

for three-quarters of a century,” he said. “It is the same type of mismanagement which brought this country almost to the door of ruin and revolution in 1932. The Republican Party is a party of futility in office and obstructionism out of office. It is a party of confusion and con-

tradiction, “I cannot believe that the voters are willing to trust to such a party the welfare and safety of democracy in a period which calls for strength and courage.” The crowd booed uproariously when Mr. McNutt said that “Mr. Willkie implies that knowledge of business is the most essential qualification necessary to be President of the greatest nation on earth and which is facing its gravest crisis.

Says F. D. R. ‘Best Qualified’

“What about knowledge of world affairs? ‘No,’ says Mr, Willkie, ‘just business.’ ” Describing President Roosevelt as the “best qualified man in nation to direct the affairs of state,” Mr. McNutt said that the national defense program is moving at top speed. “President Roosevelt has unified defense with Canada and has made a deal on island air bases which for the first time gives this nation complete control of the approaches to our Atlantic shores. His prestige among the world democracies is immense and his popularity in LatinAmerica is the greatest of any. White House occupant.” He described Republican charges that the country is headed for bankruptcy as “merely throwing dust in our eyes.” “We could pay off the national debt in one year if va wanted to do it,” he said. Swinging: into domestic affairs, the former Governor quoted the Lord's Prayer: Urges Minton Re-Election

“Give us this day our daily bread.” He declared the New Deal has made it the one big business of the Government ‘to see that the people live decently like human beings.” He predicted that by the end of 1941 that “every employable person in the United States will have a job if he wants one.” Waving a dollar bill, Mr. McNutt said that “the Social Security funds will remain as secure as the dollar.” He was replying to critics’ charges that New Deal fiscal policies might threaten the solvency of social security.

velt many times as a “man of peace,” and urged voters not to be deceived by war-mongering charges. In closing he urged the re-elec-tion of Senator Sherman Minton, the Democratic candidate for Congress and made a special appeal for the election, of Lieutenant Governor Henry F. Schricker as Governor. “I've gone about the world speaking for Indiana many years, now I ‘want you to speak for me at the

polls next Tuesday,” he said.

He referred to President Roose- :

of Washington. He will be dedicating a $4,500,000 national health institute and his speech was expected to be non-political. It will be carried on a national radio network. . He speaks at a political rally in the Academy of Music in Brooklyn Friday night. Saturday morning he will make defense inspection tours and brief talks in Syracuse and Buffalo, en route to Cleveland where he delivers his fifth political speech Saturday night. Mr. Roosevelt singled Mr. Martin out for direct attack here last night. He said Mr.. Martin had voted against every farm measure recommended during the last seven and one-half years by the New Deal, had votes against “the public utility holding company ‘act, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the National Securities Exchange act, and the extension of the CCC.” Mr. Roosevelt said he voted against “practically all relief and work relief measures, and against the appropriation for rural electrification.”

Charges Political Shenanigans

The Republican leadership, he said, has engaged in “political shenanigans” with the national interest. Citing the Congressional record, he

said that only last year, “the Republicans in Congress were voting in favor of reducing aproptriations for the Army air corps,” while charging now that he had failed to provide adequate aerial defenses. Congressional Republicans, he said, voted against the first Agricultural: Adjustment Act, the soil conservation and domestic allotment act; the second Agricultural Adjustment Act; parity payments to farmers this year and the stamp plan for distributing agricultural surplus to needy families. “What kind of political shenanigans are these?” asked Mr. Roosevelt. “Can such people be trusted with national defense?” He answered with “no,” and the audience roared, “No.”

Denies Defense Lagging

Republican. criticism of his rearmament program, he said, is belied by the facts. “The most inexcusable unpatriotic misstatement of fact about our Army,” he said, “is the brazen charge that the men called to training will not be properly housed. “The plain fact is that construction of Army housing is far ahead of schedule to meet all present needs, and that by Jan. next, there will be complete and adequate housing for 930,000 soldiers. “I give assurance to the mothers and fathers of America that each and every one of their boys in training will be well housed and well fed. Throughout the one year of their

trainingg there will be constant pro-|.

motion of their health and well being. “And while T am talking to you mothers and fathers I give you one more assurance. I have said this before, but I shall say it again and again and again. Your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars . . . the purpose of our defense is defense.”

HEARING SET. NOV. 12 FOR MILK PRODUGERS

The State Milk Control board today set Nov. 12 as the date for a public hearing on the petition of local milk producers for a price increase from $2.18 to $2.54 a hundredweight for raw milk. The hearing will begin at 10a. m. in the House of Representatives chamber in the State House. The price increase is asked to meet higher winter feed costs. The $2.54 price is the same as was paid to producers by distributors last winter. The Milk Control Board cut the price to $2.18 last spring when summer feed cut production costs. If the price increase is granted, it

will result #n a price increase of 1 cent a quart to consumers.

elements favorable to acceptance of Italian demands for strategic Greek

bases. This would open the way to an end of hostilities in the Balkans and possibly postpone until a later date Italian and Albanian territorial demands. Rome dispatches named Crown Prince Paul of Greece as a likely vehicle for the Axis diplomatic maneuver. If he could be placed on the throne in. succession to pro-British King George II, a settlement might be worked out, it was said. Paul is known to be friendly tq the Axis. This technique, it was noted, is somewhat similar to the Axis coup in Rumania where King Carol was ousted and a regime favorable to the closest Axis collaboration installed.

Axis Bluff Indicated

Italian reports indicated that Greece's strong man, Gen. John Metaxas, was aware of this possibility. He was said to have placed Prince Paul in confinement. London was inclined to believe that the Axis might be attempting to bluff Greece into submission—a bluff which Greece has called. According to this view Italy had not expected Greece to fight. In-

would take advantage of intercession by Adolf Hitler to reach terms with Italy. In any event the Italian drive had not approached the blitzkrieg pace of Germany in taking ever such nations as Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Norway, Denmark and the Low Countries. London believed that Italian slowness had enabled the Greeks to make strategic troop dispositions and that the way might be open for bold British moves to aid Greece.

Von Papen Goes Home

The slowness of the Italian attack as well as the officially announced aid being given by the British Navy, which was reported to have landed forces on Greek isles, encouraged the Greek people |. and there was a general rush of volunteers to the Army. Italian bombing attacks on Patras and Navpaktos in the Gulf of Corinth .in which eight persons were killed—were reported from Athens.| The Italians said attacks were made also on Metozo Pass and the Greek Lepanto base. The German Ambassador to Turkey, Franz von Papen, suddenly left for consultations with Hitler. Significance of this move, which attracted great attention in Turkey, was not clear. It was presumed, however, to fit closely into the developing pattern of Axis operations in the eastern Mediterranean.

British Apply Air Pressure

Considerable British air activity in the Mediterranean = African sphere was admitted by the Italians. The British air pressure appatently was being applied to hamper Italian movements which might be coordinated with the attack on Greece. The British bombed the Italian bases of Derna, Bomba, Tmimi, Gazala, El Gubbi, Tobruk, El Aden, Menastir and Sollum. Rescue workers in London dug for bodies beneath a block of apartments demolished by German bombs in raids last night. Miserable weather in London kept the capital comparatively free of raiders today. Twenty-five of a ‘block of 95 apartments were demolished during the overnight bombing but only about two-thirds of the apartments were occupied. The Germans claimed their bombs also hit an airplane factory and a troop camp near Sheffield. Casualties in dead and wounded were feared high in a southeast town where a German plane dropped bombs into the streets. Germans said their shore guns had driven off an attack of British speedboats on the Flanders Coast, sinking one of them. British planes yesterday and last night ranged over Germany = and German-occupied territory and inflicted heavy damage an Air Ministry communique said.

Cherbourg Attacked

The Ministry said the R.A.F. made a daylight raid on Cherbourg and shipping off the French coast and last night attacked docks at Hamburg and Flushing and heavily bombed the German naval base at Emden. Describing the attack on Cherbourg, the Ministry said “a dock

m.|side and buildings were hit and a

heavy salvo of bombs dropped among four E-boats (motor torpedo boats) 20 miles out at sea.” The British confirmed the operations of Italian planes on the British front. They spoted six Italian bombers protected on all sides and from above and below by a cloud of 80 German Messerschmitt fighters which apparently had orders to see that none of the Italian planes got into trouble.

Far East Quieter -

The Far Eastern situation was quieter. Chief news from Japan was a demand of some elements

that Japan put in a formal claim to

sovereignty over the South Pole. The same demand recently has been urged by the followers of Maj. Vidkun Quisling of German-occupied Norway. Possibility of conflict over the South Pole by these two Axis cousins seemed doubtful, however. In London a responsible nonBritish military authority said that Germany now has about 855,000 troops stationed within striking distance of Great Britain in addition to 225,000 stationed in and near Scandinavia. British sources reported that or were stationed in southern Germany, Austria and Slovakia, ready for a possible blow at the Balkans.

State’s local board areas will be determined within the next few days, Lieut. Col. Robinson Hitchcock, head of the State Selective Service, said today. Lieut. Col. Murray M. Montgomery, liasion officer from Fifth Corps Area Headquarters, is expected to come here to work out details. Se It is believed that one or two men will be taken from the smaller local board areas and three men from the larger board areas. Calls on each local draft board will be based later on the number of Class 1-A registrants in each area and the number of men from each local board area now serving in the armed forces. Local boards are expected to receive photostatic copies of the national master order list from Washington by Monday, and from them each board will make out its own order list. Then the board will mail out therquestionnaires to the holders of the low order numbers, The holders of the very low order numbers will probably receive questionnaires by late next week. These questionnaires must be filled out and returned within five days. The registrant will be placed, on the basis of information furnished in the questionnaire, in one of four Those fit for military service, those deferred because of important jobs, those deferred because of dependents and those unfit for military service. Only those placed in Class 1 will be called. In Washington, Draft Director Clarence A. Dykstra said that it probably would not be necessary to call any men this year whose numbers were drawn after 3000 had been picked from the goldfish bowl.

‘IN LOVE WITH RITA ALIBI DOESN'T WORK

When accosted, he said: “I'm in love with Rita Hayworth, and I'm trying to find her address.” With that he bolted, but police caught him as he fled from the building.

LONDON, Oct. 31 (U. P.).—Subway officials announced today a club car service for the benefit of persons using the stations as air raid shelters this winter. Food trains will operate from 80 stations - dispensing dinner and breakfast. Since the approaching cold weather will increase the need for warm food during the long night raids, and since it is impossible to use open flames to cook in the subways because of improper ventilation, electric hot plates and urns will be used in the train diners. \ The trains will move from one station to another. Tea, coffee or chocolate will sell for two cents a cup; meat pies, sausage rolls and buns, cakes, apples and biscuits, for

Greece is about the size of New York state, has a smaller population —about 7,200,000. The country’s value to the Axis powers lies not in its resources or its manufactured products, but in its strategic position. It occupies the southern peninsula of the Balkan Peninsula, lying between the Ionian and Aegean Seas. It is a mountainous area, with a great many gulfs and bays along its shoreline. The nearby seas are dotted with small islands.

try weather would interfere with a grand offensive into Asia Minor. There is, too, Hitler's apparent desire to try the effect on British morale of a peace offensive with French aid. Present evidence based on the cautious operations of the Italians seems to give some indication that the axis has not planned the Italian entrance into Greece as preliminary to an immediately following thrust at the Dardanelles and into Turkey. Otherwise, it might be expected that the Italians would be showing more vigor, The alternative conclusion is that the Greek war is independent of unified axis strategy and Hitler does not want to be associated too closely with it, in case major re-. sults are not obtained. Yet, it is questionable whether Germany can afford to see the Italians fail to

ORDERS BROWDER'S WIFE BE DEPORTED

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 (U. P.. —Attorney General Robert H. Jackson today ordered the deportation of Reissa Berkman Browder, Russian-born wife of Earl R. Browder, Communist candidate for President of the United States. Immigration service officials will meet within a few days to determine the effective date of the deportation order. An application by Mrs. Browder for a suspension of the deportation order was denied by Mr. Jackson on the grounds that “Mrs. Browder’s evasive testimony regarding her relationship to the Communist Party had created doubt as to her eligibility for leniency.” Mrs. Browder was arrested on Avg. 7 on a charge of violating the immigration laws because of her failure to have an immigration visa at the time of her entry into the United States. The warrant charged that she remained in the United States for a longer time than is permitted under the Immigration Act.

IS ROME OPEN CITY? LONDON WONDERS

reach their goal in Greece, and so Hitler may have to move in southeastern Europe before he is ready. Nevertheless, Mussolini has not announced publicly what his goal in Greece actually is. It is within his power thus to limit his objectives if the task of pressing forward becomes too costly. For the present the Italians seem to be aiming their thrusts southwestward and eastward at the same time. The southwest movement is defensive. It is aimed at securing possession of Corfu and other western islands and part of the Greek west coast to make more difficult air attacks, presumably by the British against the Italian mainland. The eastward movement points toward Salonika, about 150 miles away. That long stretch of rough territory does not lend itself to new ways of fighting. The Italiaris are using mules instead of motor trucks, and lance cavalry instead of tanks, slowing up operations to early twentieth century conditions. Meanwhile the British are keeping their own movements secret, except for announcements of minelaying and air attacks on the Dodecanese Italian islands. This archipelago guards the southeastern entrance into the Aegean Sea. If the Italian defenses there can be put out of action, the British should be able to gain complete control of the Aegean to serve as a flanking base against a possible axis offensive in Turkey. \
