[Willkie Willing to Oppose Col. McCormick in Primary

By THOMAS L. "TOKES Times Special \.riter

WASHINGTON, July 15. —-Wendell L. Willkie literally is itching for a straight-out contest with isolationists in the Republican party as a means of clearing the atmosphere for his own candidacy for the presidential nomination at next year's convention.

Consequently, he and his friends. |

{t is learned, welcome reports that Col. Robert R. McCormick, publisher of the Chicago Tribune, may become a candidate for the Repubican pomination. If Mr. McCormick does become a candidate, it can be said authori-

tatively that Mr. Willkie will enter

his name in the Illinois preferential next spring against the Chicago publisher and will campaign in the state on the international issue.

Will Enter Primaries

Mr. Willkie, his friends say, recognizes that isolationist in the party are concentrating against his candidacy, and he would court an opportunity to meet them in the open on the issue. While he has made no formal announcement of his intentions, the

1940 Republican candidate is ex-

bected to enter a number of other the at-}

preferential primaries in tempt to sweep intp the convention next year with large popular backing expressed by the people of these states at the polls. Preferential presidential primarfes are prescribed by statute in 10 states and are optional with the state party committee in four others. Results Not Binding

In addition, there are four other; states where delegates elected by!

state-wide primaries may state their presidential preference, so here, too, there is an opportunity for expression of public sentiment.

elements,

that |

! These primaries carry some weight as indices of popular opinion but in most cases are not binding. | Overlooking no bets, Mr. Willkie is devoting much time these days to missionary work among the regu-| lar politicians who will have the say-so as to delegations from a majority of the states, and among] whom has existed some coolness to his aspirations for renomination.

Acknowledges Mistake

Wherever he goes—and he has) visited 16 states in recent months—| he assembles the party leaders and] workers, frankly acknowledges his mistake of not working closely with them in 1940. promises to consider| them hereafter, and encourages questions as to his stand on current issues, particularly foreign policy. | Some old-line G. O. P. national! leaders still are opposed to Wendell} Willkie and have been casting about for a candidate against him. Gov-| ernor John W. Bricker of Ohio was] the object of an early build-up. | Some have looked favorably upon Genie. Douglas MacArthur. Recentlv, Governor Thomas E. Dewey of] New York has emerged again, both in the favor of politicians and in public opinion polls, despite his re-! peated disavowals of 1944 ambitions.

Mail Is Heavy

Mr. Willkie has no formal organization vet, but a number of influential political friends are working actively for him. His mail runs heavy—about 2500 letters a week. | By August, he plans to go to his native state of Indiana, to his farms at Rushville, where he will devote some time to writing—and, naturally, some time to promoting his candidacy among the home folks. : If there is any doubt about his candidacy, this will be dispelled by la formal announcement—sometime in the autumn. It would not be | surprising if it was issued from! i Rushville.

Increase in Var

Forecast Due to War Strain

By Science Service CHICAGO, July 15. — A warcaused increase in the number of men and women suffering from varfcose veins is forecast by Dr. Gerald H. Pratt of York postgraduate medical school and hospital of Columbia university in a report to the forthcoming issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association here. The condition affects women twice

as often as men, but in a total war, Dr. Pratt points out, “men are subjected to strains that most of them are {ll prepared to stand.”

“The long periods of standing,

fey winds and adaptation to the peculiar position necessary to man tanks, cramped cockpits or fox holes” are likely, in his opinion, to precipitate the development of varicose veins in the future, Requests for information from the various camps indicate, Dr. Pratt! ‘reports, that the armed services are already having experiences with the problems. Civilians, both men and women, will be more affected than usual because more of them at older ages! will be working at unaccustomed jobs requiring tedious standing, opjerating unusual pedal apparatus and in general using parts of the body not “acclimated for the strain.” | Modern treatment of the condi-| tion when the valves in the super- | ficial veins have become incompe-; tent consists in an operation to! close off the long vein of the leg,! called the saphenous, near its junc-| tion with the femoral vein high up| ‘the leg, followed by injection of a| {chemical to sclerose or harden the vein and its branches.
