FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Friday Bpl. 8. 1944! F0M POLICY Collier's Article Paints Self as "Independent"; Likes New Deal Ideas. By Lyle C. Wilson United Press Staff Correspondent Washington, Sept. 8 (U.R Wendell L. Willkie today charg ed President Hoojcvelt and Gov. Thomas E. Dewey equally with political cowardice for their hare of responsibility in shaping the foreign relations planks of the democratic and republican party platforms. ' In an article timed to hit the newsstands aj Republican Presi dential Candidate Dewey under takes his first major campaign swing. Wlllkle begins In the cur rent issue of ' Collier's" a series of discussions of the party plat forms. Mo culls them "Our Re cent Mockeries." . The article is entitled "Cow ardice at Chicago." Early In his piece, Willkie charges that Pewey alone had adequate fore knowledge of what GOP plat the past generation." That phraseology, no doubt carefully chosen, does not limit Independ ents to voters without party af filiation but Includes within the term men who do belong to a political party as Willkie does but who refuse to go along with their party candi dates without question. Willkle's basic charge Is that both parties framed platforms designed to "conciliate and win all elements of the population without offending others with in or without the party." Lack ing courage to face the Issue of post-war foreign policy, writes Mr. Willkie, the platform mak ers with knowledge of Mr. Roosevelt and Dewey "bor rowed rom the past the timidi ties, the outworn doctrines, and mistakes long since rejected by history." There Is not much comfort In his article either for republi can! who hoped for an early and enthusiastic endorsement of Dewey's candidacy or for those who may have thought Willkie would bolt his party to support Mr. Roosevelt for a fourth term. But for what it may portend, Willkie says that on the general question of foreign policy, the democratic plank is better than the republican plank. He finds the democratic plunk more forthright and concrete on the use of armed force to maintain the peace. And, as he sees it, there is no provision in the democratic plank "to hamstring future international collabora tion by going beyond the con 91ST DIVISION IS !ST TO ENTER form makers would nroduee and thut "the Democratic plat-1 stitution and submitting every form, under President Roose velt, was in all of its essential provisions drafted In advance 'cf the convention I Toward the end, Willkie Mates that "I am a republican." But he writes like an independ ent who has not yet decided for whom to vote. t And he warns that It Is the who does not vote automatically for any candidate his party may nominate who has determined most presidential elections In The 01st Infantry Division, which trained at Camp White for many months, was the first division to reach the Arno river and the first to enter the south ern outskirts of Pisa during the Italian campaign, an announce ment published In Stars and Stripes on Aug. 19 states. Copies of the article were received in Mcdford by Mrs. Ross F. Swall, 19 Barneburg Road, whose hus band is a lieutenant in the divi sion, and by Frank Skelton, Rt. 2, who received his copy from Sgt. Martin Roberts of the divi sion. According to the article In Stars and Stripes, the division arrived overseas in May of 1944 and underwent Invasion training at Oran, North Africa. Two com bat teams were selected from the division and attached to corps of the Fifth Army for com bat experience.

Other troops are close, on the heels of Troop No. 1, the execu tive says. Washington, Sept. 8 U.R Ralph A. Horton of Miami, Fla., said today that he would not have sold radio station WFTL to a close friend of Chairman L.

Washington, Sept. 8 (U.RI Sen. Guy M. Gillette, D., Ia., said today he hoped senate de bate could be started next week on a proposed amendment to the constitution to guarantee women equal legal rishts. Gillette, a sponsor of the pro posal, said he was uncertain whether the debate actually cculd be started, because of the absence of numerous senators from the city and the tentative plans for a new recess of con gress from about Sept. 15 to Nov. 15. The equal rights amendment has been introduced annually in congress for the past years, but never has been adopted by either house. Backed by the National Woman's party, it would provide that there shall be no discrimination in this country because of sex. The Women's Bureau of the Depart ment of Labor has consistently opposed it, on grounds that it would nullify much legislation that protects women in industry. felt the earlier agreement was valid. John J. Sirica, committee counsel, has charged that in an Atlanta conference in 1943 Fly ruled the contract invalid. This ruling, he alleged, had caused Horton to go through with the sale of the radio station at a low price to President George B. Storer of Fort Industry Co., a close friend of Fly. Horton admitted, however, that both sale of the station and the price was arranged with Storer before the Atlanta con ference with Fly. Fly's ruling "wiped out all doubts" as to the advisability of the deal, he said.
