MORSE CANDIDACY
Bend, Ore., Oct 10 Wayne
Morse, republican nominee for
U. S. senator for Oregon, had ac
ccpted.the late Wendell Willkic's
offer shortly before his death to
Indorse Morse in the coming
election the nominee revealed
last night at a republican rally
here.
Morse read the following letter
from Willkie, dated Sept. 11:
"My Dear Mr. Morse:
"I don't know whether a
strong Indorsement by me for
your election will be of any help
to you. But you may have It for
the asking.
"All kind of good luck to you.
"Cordially yours,
"Wendell Willkie."
Morse eulogized Willkie as
"an American who was strong
ly opposed to substituting gov
ernment by executive decree for
government by law."
London, Oct. 10. 4U.R) Take
lt from Lady Nancy Astor, this
"baby leave" business Is a lot
of nonsense and British women
don't want their soldier husbands
home now just to start raising
families.
"I think it is just a press stunt.
I've never had such a request
from a constituent," she said in
an exclusive and somewhat hec
tic interview In the lobby of the
house of commons.
The sprightly, Virginia-born
Lady Astor, who represents a
Plymouth constituency, kept
bouncing up from a bench to
corral passing MP's to corrobo
rate her opinion that British
women are not particularly in
terested in baby leaves.
Only one of a half-dozen she
stopped disagreed with her. The
dissenter was Quintin Hogg, a
conservative, who said he had
received several requests from
men and women to support the
drive for bigger families.
However, Lady Astor, twirl
irfg her lorngnette furiously as
she spoke, drew agreement from
Sir John Anderson, chancellor
of the exchequer, from a couple
of labor members whose names
she couldn't remember, and from
Col. Edward Thomas Wickham,
who only recently returned from
service in India.
"Having a baby In wartime
Is a difficult business," Lady
Astor said. "Most women pre
fer to wait for peace.
"Our birthrate is low, but lt
Is nothing to worry about. It is
quality, not quantity, that
counts. The birthrate here al
ways has been low, but look
what these insignificant little
isles have done for the world.
"I had six children myself
that's not many but modern
women realize that two or three
are better."
