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

for many months, was the first
division to reach the Arno river
and the first to enter the south

Italian campaign, an announce

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

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. These later re
verted to the fllst division and
the outfit entered Its first en

that it should be filed with the

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
