WILLKIE MISLEAD
Says Candidate’s Statements
On Military Housing Is
Neither Fair, Accurate
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17— <#> —
Secretary Stimson said today that
Wendell L. Willkie had “recently
been misled into making state
ments about delays in the pro
gress of housing the men who are
to be called out for military train
ing which are neither fair nor ac
curate.”
Housing units, he said in a state
ment, will be completed well ahead
of the schedule under which the
men are to be called into service
and “a great majority” of the
projects will be finished by Dec. 15.
At the same time, Stimson, a life
long republican who was called in
for August and $1,155 for Septem
ber. One truck valued at $100 was
also seized in September.
Value of property destroyed such
as stills and equipment totaled $285
tor September, and $235 each for
August and July, lvalue of property
not destroyed reached $1,300 for Sep
tember including a skiff and out
board motor, $1,280 for July, and
$1,070 for August, including a skiff
and outboard motor.
In August the greatest number of
people dealing in non-taxpaid liquor
were arrested, 23. Fifteen people
were arrested in July, and 13 ar
rests made in September.
to the cabinet by President Roose
velt last June, credited Willkie
with being “usually a fair critic”
and one who “has been courageous
in his support of conscription and
re-armament.”
Earlier in the ’day, Secretary
Morgenthau had told a press con-1
ference that “pure ignorance” led
Willkie to make “false” statements
that the treasury had delayed the
defense program by permitting two
and a half years to elapse before
disposing of a tax amortization
matter raised by the navy.
Stimson said that funds for hous
ing national guard units called to
active duty were provided on Sept.
6, and funds for housing men call
er up under the draft were made
available on Sept. 20.
But, he continued, even before
those dates, the army had made
all preparations. Complete designs
for the buildings needed had been
prepared. He said, locations for
most of them had been chosen,
surveys of available lumber and
materials had been made long be
fore and brought up to date.
Further, contracts for construc
tion had been prepared and even
negotiated he said, with the re
sult that many were signed less
than 24 hours after the money was
appropriated. A survey of the labor
situation, designed to make certain
that no local labor shortage would
interfere, had been made in every
state, the secretary added.
The CAB is planning to recruit
and train 10 men as experts ir
aviation weather service at goV'
ernment expense this, for defense
purposes. The training is a join
undertaking of the CAA Civiliar
Pilot Training program. •

Common Sense
About Constipation
A doctor would tell you that the
best thing to do with constipation
is get at its cause. That way you
don’t have to endure it first and
try to "cure” it afterward—you
can avoid having it.
Chances are you won’t have to
look far for the cause if you eat
the super-refined foods most
people do. Most likely you don’t
get enough “bulk"! And “bulk”
doesn’t mean a lot of food. It
means a kind of food that isn’t
consumed in the body, but
leaves a soft “bulky” mass in the
intestines.
If this is what you lack, try
crisp crunchy Kellogg’s All-Bran
for breakfast. It contains just the
“bulk” you need.
Eat All-Bran often, drinkplenty
of water, and “Join the Regulars.”
Made by Kellogg’s inBattle Creek.
If your condition is chronic, it Is
^wisc to consult a physician.
