! Willkie Promises
i To Talk Straight
CHICAGO, Sept. 13. OP)
; Wendell L. Willkie told a crowd
of. welcomers in the Union station
J upon his arrival today that in the
campaign he was beginning "I am
going to give you the truth in
plain Indiana language so that no
one can misunderstand.
J The republican presidential
r nominee, standing on a balcony
j) ot the station, spoke impromptu
i at the request of many from the
throng which had gathered to
J greet him as he reached Chicago to
give four addresses to industrial
J and negro groups.
s "My speeches," he declared,
"will be political and I will name
e them as such. I will never dodge
or hedge.
I "This is a crusade and I call to
you in the name of the democratic
way of life in America
2 "Even though I face a ruthless
gang of political corruptionists
5 Boss Hague, Kelly-Nash and Boss
Flynn I don't believe that cor.
ruption can sway the vote of the
a great cities, he said.
"And I don't believe that an en-
5 trenched bureaucracy with bil
e lions of dollars to spend can in-
fluence an election."
" His face lighted by flares from
a torchlight procession, Willkie
said that he was starting out to
discuss "some of the most momen-
tous questions which ever faced
Z mankind" and that he went for-
ward '"unafraid."
J "I still have faith," he shouted,
"that there are millions over the
nation whom Jio political machine
" can corrupt and no federal govern-
ment can buy."

The Seedbo, he said, left with

attacked by a squadron of planes
in the Irish channel. Seven ships
were sunk at that time, including
Scotty's. He was one of eight
