Willkle Hits Bulls-eye
Wendell Willkle at last has got on the beam.
In the "Readers Digest" for November he is given
first position with a brief article entitled "Better
Management, Please, Mr. President"
We doubt if there is a thinking person in the coun
try, regardless of party, who doesn't ask for the same
thing.
Dissatisfaction with the way the President has con
ducted domestic affairs is practically as wide
spread and universal as SATISFACTION with the
way he has conducted foreign affairs including the
war.
The war. in fact, exhibits this democracy at Its
best an achievement in 'high efficiency and re
sourcefulness, which has, in our judgment, never been
equalled in the history of the world.
The conduct of domestic business, on the other
hand, not only during the war but before it, has ex
hibited this democracy at its worst bungling, waste
ful, impractical, confused,
IN brief space, but cogent forceful phrasing, the
1940 Republican leader makes his points. Here are
a few taken at random :
"No less than 14 agencies have a hand In labor relations.
There are 49 federal corporations and credit agencies
lending government funds. Here are some (not all) of
the agencies with fingers In the control of sugar: FDA,
CCC, FPA, OEW, OPA, WPB. WSA, OLLA. Recently
the need arose for day nurseries, a single organization could
have done the job, the Roosevelt administration created 8."
And so on and so forth ad infinitum.
And Author Willkie concludes:
"There is only one person who can correct this govern
ment mismanagement. That person Is the President himself.
Of all that Is wrong with the President's administrators
, there Is nothing that better administration by the President
could not remedy."
Absolutely correct!
We venture to say there is hardly a member of
the government itself in Washington, D. C, regard
less of party who, OFF THE RECORD, would not

WHAT EVER BECAME Or
Soma readers, I know, will re-1
member an article printed in this
column under the title "The For
gotten People."
Both the title
and the inspi
ration for the
article -were
taken from a
paper on ger
iatrics (the
branch of med
ical science
which treats of
the aged In
their physio
loci c a 1 and
Dr. Brady pathological re
lations) by Dr. Frederick W. Fil-
slnger, in the Bulletin of the
Erie County Medical Society,
Buffalo, N. Y.
One typical observation of Dr.
Filslnger's I quoted because It
seemed to illustrate in a home
ly way why he has had such suc
cess In the new specialty. He
reminded his medical readers
that
"Many of the old folks
are sadly neglected and '
misunderstood, many of
their homes are very de
pressing, there is a lack of .
cheer, good food, fuel, warm
clothing and warm socks
which contribute so much
to their comfort and happi
ness." Since then I have been trvlna
to persuade Dr. Filsinger that if
he doesn't exactly owe it to "the
forgotten people" he is eminent
ly fitted to confer a boon upon
them he should put some of
his wisdom in book form and
make It available for such peo
ple everywhere. But the doctor.
I fear. Is working as hard as
ever, and I detect a somber shade
in his statement that he will per
haps be more enthusiastic to
undertake it later when he can
eliminate some of his office
hours and I wonder If that
time ever does come In the life
of a faithful family physician.
Of the several textbooks on
Geriatrics recently published, Dr.
tllsinger recommends Strelg
Utz's Geriatric Medicine (Saun
ders) and Thewlls's Car of the
Aged (Mosby). In reply to my ul
timatum he pleads his obligation
not to desert in the face of the
present shortage of physicians,
and adds that if he could retire
from active practice he might

Washington Letter
.Analysis and Comment
HARRIS ELLSWORTH
Congrats man. Fourth Orofon District
Washington, D. C- Oct.
(Special Correspondence) Ap
parently the fuss that has been
so effectively stirred up by the
members of congress from Ore
gon and Washington regarding
the development of a domestic
source of aluminum from clay is
having a healthy effect. I have
heard unofficially that the alum-ina-frora-clay
plants may be ap
proved in the near future. The
facts are so compelling in favor
of this development, however,
that It seems almost a certainty
that this report, unofficial as it
is, must be correct.
It is unfortunate but true that
decisions both for and against
the production of alumina-from-clay
have been kicked around
Washington for more than six
months. When the various war
agency committees and the light
metals , divisions of WPB had
finally been cleared, the ques
tion was up for final decision by
the WPB itself. In June, the
three proposed plants were ap
proved. Then, during the sum
mer came word that the propos
ed plant for the Northwest was
denied because of the manpower
situation.
Back in Washington after the
recess, members of congress
were Informed that the man
power trouble was not the real
reason for stopping the alumina-
from-clay development. It was
then stated that all three plants
were denied because they were
not needed. Mr. Wilson (acting
WPB head) told us In the heat of
the discussion last week that the
plana had not only been denied
once, but three times, by his
Production Executive Commit-
e. The members of the com
mui;' were present when he
said it, by the way. Now they
have apparently seen the light.
I hope so.
THE house voted Thursday to
repeal the Chinese exclusion act
and permit entrance of Chinese
on a quota basis. Actually this
is simply a friendly gesture to
a valiant ally In our desperate
war. It will not let down the
bars to Immigration nor will it
flood the country with Chinese
as some opponents of repeal
would have us believe. No more
than 105 Chinese will be ad
mitted annually and obviously
none at all can cross the Pacific
while the war is on.
The Chinese exclusion act is
sue had considerable political
dynamite in it. Apparently the
leaders of both sides of the house
did not want record vote on the
question. Everyone agreed that
the bill would surely pass, but
there was no way to be certain
how the record vote would look
as to party division. Neither
party wanted to appear as the
party opposed to the repeal an
election year being Just around
tne corner.
-Consequently, by the simple
parliamentary expedient of hav
ing a quorum call (roll call of
the house to see if a quorum is
present, which is done when
member makes the point that no
quorum is present) an automatic
roll call on passage of the bill
was avoided. When the bill was
up for final passage, the speaker
called a voice vote and declared
the bill passed before any de
mand for a record vote a vote
by "yeas" and "nays" could
be made.
. e
THREE times this week 1 at
tended meetings that were billed
as "strictly off the record." Be
ing fairly large meetings, I
doubt very much, however, that
the proceedings of any of them
were actually kept secret. As a
matter of fact, I did not hear or
see anything at any one of the
three sessions barring perhaps
some specific statistics that
could do any damage in print.
The first of the off-record ses
sion was a meeting; of Republi
can members of the house. I be
lieve some 200 members were
present to hear Senator Brewster
of Maine tell about his trip,
around the world and to the var
ious battle fronts this summer
with the party of senators. The
reports of the five senators have
been covered at some length in
various press reports. Brewster
spoke frankly but in so far as
giving any additional "inside
dope" was concerned, I failed

The aecond "off the record
meeting was our 78-club session
Tuesday night. The new Repub
lican members new members
of the 78th congress-get-together
for dinner every Tuesday ave-
nlng at the Continental hotel,
one of the hotels in the vicinity
of Union Station, and quite close
to the capital. We usually have
a amest sneaker and have had
many men of prominence before
us, including Secretary of the
Navy Frank Knox, Admiral rar
nall, Harold Stassen, Bob Pat
terson, etc. Our committee on
programs long ago decided to
have every potential Republican
presidential candidate appear so
that we could look them over
so to speak. We expect to have
Mr. Bricker of Ohio, Mr. Dewey
of New York and any other
prominently mentioned. This
week Mr. Willkie spoke.
The news that Wendell Willkle
was scheduled to speak to the
new Republican members ot con
gress created quite a little stir.
We decided to Include guests
permitting each 78-club member
to bring only one guest, said
guest being a member of con
gress. The meeting was lammed.
It is our custom to have a ques
tion period following the
speech. Only club members were
permitted to ask questions and
tney were amply po ted. 1
would list some, with sir an
swers, but as previously stated
it wag oil the record! I can
state, however, that Mr. Willkle
did not at any time state specifi
cally that he is a candidate for
the presidency. In other words,
it was not an announcement
party but everyone obviously
believes and understands that
he is going to be a candidate for
the nomination.
Wednesday morning, at the in
vitation of the T.ar department
conveyed to the members of the
house by Speaker Sam Ravburn.
the entire membership of the
nouse oi representatives as
sembled in the auditorium nf the
Library of Congress and heard
an "off the record" report on the
war. The meeting began at 8:45
ana continued through until
12:30. We heard Secretary of
war atimson, General Marshall,
Assistant Secretary Patterson
and several other ton nfflrura
speak, and we were shown sev
eral motion pictures of the war.
One of the best reels of pic
tures was the one now in the
news reels showing the low level

didly handled. I think the mem-
oers oi the house now have a
complete picture and under
standing oi tne war how it Is
being fought, where the fighting
is taking place, what the results
nave Deen, wnat our progress is
and why we will finally win.
The talk, illustrated with charts
by the chief of army Intelligence,
on the subject of enemv re
sources, was particularly reveal
ing in that it dispelled any fool
ish optimism. The enemies are
not impoverished and ready to
