MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 12, i939. PAGE TEN Ickes Jabs G. 0. P. Hopefuls In Arguing for Third Term Newark, N. J., Dec. 12. (JP) Secretary Ickes In an address last night, filled with barbed references to Republican aspir ants for the presidential nomination, urged a third term for President Roosevelt as the "preservation of our democracy against perils that threaten it." The secretary of the interior told 3,300 persons at a town hall meeting a third term was consistent with true American democracy. General Hugh Johnson, who spoke with Ickes on the sub ject, "Is Democracy In Peril?" retorted Immediately another term would tend to perpetuate a Roosevelt dynasty in the White House. "It undoubtedly Is possible to re-elect President Roosevelt," Johnson replied to the same audience-question asked Ickes. "That would mean a fourth term perhaps, a fifth and so on until the fifteenth. Finally, they'll elect Jimmy Roosevelt (the President's oldest son) and start all over again." Ickes launched his whole? lie criticism of Republican hope fuls by asserting an "actual starvation crisis" existed in Cleveland "because a Republi can governor, Mr. Brlckcr, de liberately chose to risk starva tion rather than spoil his self ish plan for a budget balancing record in preparation for his campaign for president on the Republican ticke't." Asserting an attempt was underway to "disguise as a mor al crusade the attack on demo cratic principles that we enjoy," the cabinet member said, "as always In a crisis many Mes siahs are offering themselves to lead us into the promised land. "There Is Dewey (Thomas E. Dewey) with his 12 brain trust ers count 'eml But his speech at Minneapolis, the best speech that money would buy, was as silent on the real issues of the day as Mr. Dewey because he had no time to learn about such things was silent on the great neutrality issue two months ago. "There is Senator Taft (of Ohio), who hopes that the Amer ican people have forgotten what happened to the country the last time that we tried to follow a Roosevelt with a Taft. "Until the inhumanity In Cleveland, Ohio, there was Gov ernor Brlcker. "And there Is Senator Van denberg of Republican Mlchi gnn, wrapped in the flag and uttering long bumbling words. "Mr. Gannett (Frank E. Gan nett, Rochester, N. Y publish er) was tremblingly nurturing sickly hopes to be the favorite son presidential candidate of the New York delegation and he nearly died of frustration when Mr. Dewey threw his own diaper into the ring." ' Gen. Johnson, who said he was under the impression the discussion was to be "non-political," observed he found out differently after listening a few minutes to Ickes. He declared the nation was "going back from too much centralized and personalized governmental powers going back to the faith of our fathers." FREE CHRISMS BOOK GIVEN TO CHILDREN BY WARD'S SANTA CLAUS Santa Claus Is reigning at the Montgomery Ward store daily from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m. and all day Saturday.

Although Montgomery Ward has Just begun the distribution of the book at its 620 retail stores and 185 catalog order of fices, "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer" has already proved somewhat of a sensation. After the company had decided upon a special giveaway for its stores this year, "Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer" was conceived, written and illustrated by mem bers of the Montgomery Ward retail sales department at Chicago. Sample copies were sent to the Montgomery Ward stores along with order blanks to be used if the local managers cared to order the book, the stores to bear the cost of all books ord cred. Quickly orders flowed in until they had reached the amazing total of 2,400,000 copies. OHIO GOVERNOR SAYS NEW DEALERS PLAYING Cleveland, Dec. 12. OF) Cleveland's 1039 relief troubles apparently were solved today by city-federal action, but the Ohio situation remained In the national spotlight as Secretary of the Interior lcKes and Gov. John W. Brlcker clashed again over the state's attitude. Ickes said In a speech at New ark, N. J that Gov. Bricker "deliberately chose to risk star vation rather than spoil his own selfish plan for a budget-balancing record in his own state." The governor replied, accus ing new dealers of "playing politics with human misery." "There has been no starva tion In Cleveland; no neglect of relief In Ohio," Oov. Bricker aid. " Ickes Is limply endeavoring to smear the good name of Ohio for third term ballyhoo." Earlier the governor, who re fused pleas from several Ohio cities for special session of the legislature, observed "all blasts against us" have come from new dealers. He referred to Ickes, President Roosevelt and Mayor Fiorello La Guardia of New York.
