Then in October came a halting and sharp reversal of this trend, and Mr. Willkie has been . gaining ever since. The latest National survey showed him |advancing three points since early October, although President Roosevelt is still in the lead with 53 per cent. Had the ‘election been | held a month - ago, when Mr. Roosevelt was polling 56 per asnt (Oct. 6), a Democratic victory would have been assured. If the Willkie trend contifues unhalted, however, so many states 18y end up near the 50 per cent that any scientific prediction of the election will become impossible. It is not unlikely, with a continued Republican trend, that as many as 15 or 20 states including New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois - and other large states, will be in the category where neither candidate has a majority of more than, 4 per cent in popular votes, This would bring all such areas within the range of normal expectancy of error in a sampling survey. ~ Whether the Willkie trend con- ~ tinues during the rest of this week remains to be seen, after ithe full effect of President Roosevelt's speeches ‘has had time to sink in. It is entirely possible that the lastminute campaign activities] of the Roosevelt forces may switch voters in the pivotal states back to the Democratic side.

operations are allowing Great Britain to increase its striking power in the Mediterranean at the eXpense of Italy. Whatever may be the outcome of Italian military activities in northern Greece, it will be extremely difficult to dislodge the British from the Peloponnesian Peninsula. the British can hold themselves there permanently, and establish bases as well on the nearby island

the eastern Mediterranean will approach the vanishing point.

Greece now seem to be aiming their principal attack in the direction of Janina, about 30 miles south of the Albanian frontier. - If they reach e Janina, the Italians will be astride the only good western highway running continuously from southern to northern Greece. Capture of the city would hamper somewhat the transport of Greek supplies for use in the northwestern area of combat. There are, however, various narrow mountain roads to which the Greeks are accustomed that would serve as reserve routes. The difficulty of penetrating this area has changed little since Homer's time. The modern Greeks have built no railways there and few roads. In addition to the natural barriers of the terrain, heavy

Italian offensive began. Conditions thus are favorable to the Greek defenders for the time being. The eventual outcome of the struggle, however, is as yet uncertain for the Greeks, insofar as the northwestern area is concerned. The Italians may be able eventually to seize the Greek territory which they claim forms a natural part of Albania. But, how much farther they may go depends on the price they are prepared to pay in time and losses. There is still reason for believing

He speaks on a national radio network (NBC-Red) from his private railroad car “somewhere in New Jersey” at 7:30 p. m. (Indianapolis Time) in reply to Mr. Roosevelt’s Boston speech Wednesday night. In the talk tonight, will deal particularly with aviation.

Adds 3 States to List

Mr. Willkie told a cheering New Jersey crowd that he was confident of carrying Missouri, West Virginia and New Jersey, and that a swing toward him was growing in Kentucky. Mr. Roosevelt carried the three states in 1932 and 1936. “The swing is on in Kentucky and is growing more rapidly every hour,” Mr, Willkie said. “I'm confident that we’ll carry West Virginia. In your own state of New Jersey, there’s no doubt that we’ll carry it despite Frank Hague (Mayor of Jersey City). The firm of Frank and Frank soon will pass out of existence.” The reférence was to President Roosevelt and Mr. Hague:

Stresses Domestic Issues

Mr. Willkie said Mr. Roosevelt had injected the foreign affairs issue into the campaign by referring to Mr. Willkie's approval of aid to Britain and other Rootevaira dministration foreign policies “political sterility” and ‘me too’ stuff.” “I wanted to devote myself mainly to our great domestic issues— the third term, the utter failure in every single element of the New Deal promises to cure our ills—agri=culture, ‘unemployment, ‘industrial recovery, fiscal policy, unbalanced budgets, rising taxes, increasing deficits, our haed-long sourse to bankruptcy,” Mr. Willkie continued. “The third-term candidate has avoided every one. Why has he refused to debate them? Obviously, because he couldn’t. In every field after a record of failure,” he has only to offer that he has spent almost 60 billions and increased our national debt by 24-billions—and recovery whatever.” Charges “Cheap Politics”

He accused Mr. Roosevelt yester= day of “playing cheap politics with international affairs and the liberties of the people.” He said the President asked a third term and told the people to “take me with my ambassadors, my courts, my legislatures, my corrupt bosses.” The President, he added, says “‘take me, people, I own you; I have: bought you with your own money.” Recalling that Mr. Roosevelt referred to Ambassador. Joseph P, Kennedy, as “my Ambassador,” Mr. Willkie declared: “We are sick of the kind of oneman Government that calls an Am=bassador of the United States, ‘my ambassador.’ It used to be ‘my friends’ now it is ‘my ambassador’

do, it should not mean relinquish-| pretty soon it may be ‘my generals.’

Then it will bg ‘my people.” But there is one thing that will be perfectly clear after Nov, 5th. It isn’t It’s the people's White House.”

Pa., before he arrives in Cleveland for his final full dress speech of the campaign Saturday night. In an address late yesterday dedicating the new $4,500,000 National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Md., Mr. Roosevelt denied that his Administration plans to socialize medical practice. Declaring that “the ramparts we watch must be civilian as well as military,” he called upon science to form a partnership with Government for “total defense” similar to the defense partnership between Government and industry. | “We seek the same partnership that we seek for industrial production in the advisory commission,” he said. “Neither the American people nor*their Government intend to socialize medical practice any more than they plan to socialize industry. » Pointing out that the objective in America, as almost nowhere else in the world, is life conservation rather than life destruction, Mr. Roosqvelt asserted he is working | to bu as well as in terms of guns.

Hands were stretched toward Wendell Willkie in Huntington, W. Va, but all weren't bent on handshaking. One held an egg. The missile fell short of its target,. but splattered on the hood of the candidate's car.

ises to be, there still is the possibility of a big electoral vote margin, especially if Mr. Roosevelt is the winner.

He goes into the contest with the votes of the so-called solid | South but there is evidence of general weakening of his position among the border states in the latest poll indications. Democrats claim, also, that mountain states—where| silver is a prime commodity—and the Far West are leaning satisfactorily to the Roosevelt-Wallace ticket. The Republican drive on the Pacific. Coast depends on the personal pull of Senator Charles L. McNary, Vice Presidential candidate, in Oregon and of Senator Hiram Ww. Johnson, Progressive Republican, in California.

Strive for ‘Bloc’ Votes |

Both sides, are reaching for the “bloc” votes. Republicans warn directly or indirectly that Mr. Roosevelt's re-election would move

the nation toward war and the Democratic response is that Mr. Willkie might be an appeaser or that he is playing politics with a war scare. Henry A. Wallace told a Madison Square Garden audience in | New York last . night that there were “Nazi propaganda and Nazi pressure” for Mr. Willkie’s election.

In Camden, N. J., Mr. Willkie said Mr. Roosevelt's Government would make ‘our Constitution a scrap of paper” and he and other Republican campaigners hit again| and again at the possibility of a dictatorial Government. Early Becomes Issue

In New York papers are making {much of an altercation in which Presidential Secretary Stephen T.

train Monday night. A Negro policeman reported himself kicked or “kneed” and the incident Has become a political issue. Mr. Early apologies to the policeman who made the charge and also to New York City Police Commissioner Lewis .J. Valentine. He denied he attacked or kicked any officer in the altercation, whieh he described as “a regrettable affair, ?

At Lincoln, Neb. last night, Mr. Hoover said the New Deal’s foreign policy was one of “hysteria” that might get the country into war. Alf M. Landon, Republican Presidential nominee in 1936, said’ at Sioux City, Iowa, that “if we yield, on election day, to the third term menace, the bells throughout the country . should toll, for a people have lost their liberties, of their own free choice.”

No Answer, Al Says

Alfred E. Smith, Democratic Presidential nominee in 1928, said at Boston that in three campaign speeches, President Roosevelt has “simply appealed to class hatred,” and has “made no answer” to charges of New Deal failures. At St. Louis, Mayor F. H. Guardia of New York, said that Mr. Willkie’s advisers were ‘somewhat stunned at the reckless and unpatriotic statements their candidate is making”—a reference to Mr. Willkie’s statement in Baltimore that the country could expect war by next April if Mr. Roosevelt is re-elected. Gen. Hugh Johnson, speaking at New York, said Mr. Roosevelt's policy was one of “hypocrisy and deceit,” and that Joseph P. Kennedy, Ambassador to Great Britain, was a “war monger.” Col. Theodore Roosevelt said at Grafton, W. Va., that Mr. Roosevelt and “those around him,” have “made commitments to foreign na-

defense in terms of humans | Early sought to get through ations which we. the American peo-1 | police line to Mr. Roosevelt's special | ple, know nothing of.”

struction of necessary equipment might be delayed slightly because of huge defense orders facing equip= ment manufacturers.

The station was granted a license by the Federal Communications Commission to operate full time, with a day-time power of five kilowatts, and a night power of one kilowatt. The Capital Broadcasting Co. ‘was incorporated several months ago with an authorized capital stock of $100,000. Mr. McConnell, who also is director and sales manager of Hamilton-Harris & Co. said an “experienced and highly quali~ fied” staff of men would operate the new station. Officers besides Mr. McConnell, are Alvin R. Jones, 231 Hampton Drive, president of Jones-Maley, Inc.’ automobile distributors, vice president; Edward W. Harris, 3510 Blvd.,, president of Hamilton-Harris & Co., treasurer, and Joseph G. Wood, attorney, and president of the City Council, secretary.

LEWIS INDORSED BY ‘MINE WORKERS’ AID

In a radio address at Terre Haute last night, L. H. Bell, Brazil, repre~ sentative of the United Mine Workers of America, charged that politics “have been held nearer to the hearts of the New Deal than has the defense of America.” Mr. Bell supported the recent stand of C. I. O. President John L. Lewis, who indorsed Wendell L.

Willkie for president.
