RIGHT YOU ARE, Patricia
. English. Camels are more
than mild. They give you the
natural mildness of costlier to
baccos—plus the extra mildness
of a slower way of burning
which means freedom from the
irritating qualities of excess
heat. And along with extra mild
ness, extra coolness, and extra
flavor, Camels also give you
|extra smoking (see below).
In recent laboratory tests, CAMELS burned 25% slower
than the average of the 15 other of the largest
selling brands tested — slower than any of them. That
means, on the average, a smoking plus equal to

Willkie Thinks U. S. Defense
Should Be Planned, Not Chaotic
Candidate Expects
Strength to Grow
At Convention
Bv G. GOULD LINCOLN.
Wendell L. Willkie. 1940's political
phenomenon to date, believes that
this country should have a “com
prehensive plan" for national de
fense developed by military and in
dustrial leaders before it loses itself
in a maze of well-intentioned but
uncoordinated efforts.
The head of Commonwealth &
Southern Corp., a former Hoosier
and now a New Yorker, and an ac
tive candidate for t lie Republican
presidential nomination, discussed
national and political questions in
formally today at tlie Carlton Hotel,
prior to appearing as guest speaker
at a National Press Club luncheon.
After talking with Representative
Halleck, Republican, of Indiana, Mr.
Willkie announced that his name
would be placed before the Repub
lican National Convention by Mr.
Halleck.
Mr. Willkie said he believed the
country should have a detailed plan
for. national defense, showing just
what was the defense task and the
needs in aims and men. By ob
taining such a plan, he said, it would
be possible to save a lot of money,
and also to let the people know
just what was expected of them and
why. He was not ready, he said,
to advocate universal military train
ing. and indicated he would be
guided by the report of a proper
planning commission after it had
made its recommendations.
Willkie Second on Possibility List.
Mr. Willkie describes his candi
dacy as another Topsy—"just
growed.’’ However, polls today place
him second on the list of Repub
lican presidential possibilities, head
ed by District Attorney Thomas E.
Dewey of New York and followed
by Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio.
It is clear that the former Hoosier
is taking his campaign for the nom
ination far more seriously than he
did a couple of months ago, when
it started.
Willkie supporters insist that when
the roll is called for the first presi
dential ballot in the Republican Na
tional Convention in Philadelphia,
a couple of weeks hence, from 35 to
70 delegates will plump for their
candidate, and. they add. there may
be more. They expect his strength
to grow as the balloting continues.
Willkie delegates, it is said,
already are pledging themselves to
support his nomination in Indiana—
where it is estimated that from 6 to
10 delegates will go to him on the
first ballot. In New York, the State
of Mr. Willkie’s adoption, some of
the delegates are expected to sup
port him. too. as well as in New
Jersey. Intensive work is being done
for him in New Jersey, where it is
said at least 150 Willkie-for-Presi
dent Clubs have been organized.
There are said to be as many or
more than 500 such clubs scattered
through the country.
Against uetiing into War.
Mr. Willkie declined this morning
to comment on President Roosevelt's
Charlottesville address, in which the
Chief Executive was particularly
critical of Premier Mussolini of Italv.
It is known, however, that Mr.
Willkie believes that a President of
the United States should always
be a deterrent against getting this
country into war—not only this
present war. but any war. He has
been on the whole sympathetic
with President Roosevelt’s foreign
policy and his sympathies are en
tirely with the British and the
French in their war with Germany
and Italy. This does not mean,
however, that he believes this
country should now intervene in the
war abroad or send American sol
diers or armed forces to Europe to
fight.
Mr. Willkie's principal objections
to the New Deal administration
are based, it is said, on the facts
that the administration has not1
provided adequate national defense!
and that it has failed absolutely1
to revive national economy for the
American people.
Mr. Willkie's candidacy for the
Republican presidential nomina
tion has been attacked from the
angle that he is a representative of
big business and public utilities. It
has been attacked also on the
ground that, until a comparatively
short time ago, he was a registered
Democrat.
Liabilities Into Assets.
Mr. Willkie believes, however, that
these so-called liabilities are turning
out to be assets. For example, the
fact that he has been a Democrat
and supported President Roosevelt
for election in 1932. will be a draw
ing card with Democrats and Re
publicans who voted for the Presi
dent when he first ran for office, it
is said. Mr. Willkie voted against
the President in 1936.
He has no quarrel with the prin
cipal of collective bargaining. Par
ticularly strong is the support he is
receiving from businessmen, big and
little. In his opinion, the interests
of the smaller businessmen are four
square with the interests of big
business and the Roosevelt attacks
on big business have reacted even
more unfavorably on small busi
nesses.
The Willkie supporters insist that,
even if Mr. Willkie's boom for the i
presidential nomination started "at
the top"—with big business re
sponsible in large part—it has per
culated down, reaching small busi
nessmen in large numbers and mov
ing in the farming group and labor.

! Lake City, was, they sav, extremely
satisfactory and encouraging. They
expect to have delegate votes from
Nebraska. Minnesota, Iowa and
other States in the Midwest, on the
first ballot.
The Hoosier candidate is entirely
frank and open. He plans to tell
the people just where he stands al
ways on public questions. One of
his quarrels with the present admin
istration is that it conceals far too
much its real aims.
Mr. Willkie leaves here later today j
to return to New York. He goes to
Boston for a strenuous day there;
Saturday, and a speech in Meehan- i
ics' Hall at night, which will be
broadcast. On Saturday he speaks
in Hartford, Conn., and that night
he will speak in Providence, R. I.
He will speak at a rally in Brooklyn,
N. Y., next week. He lias no other
speaking engagements yet before the
convention meets June 24.

C. C. C. War Training
Debated in Senate;
Relief Vote Delayed
Few Objections Raised
To Plea for 50-Million
Fund for Red Cross
By the Associated Press.
While demands increased for a
continuous congressional session
during the European war crisis, an
argument over military training for
the Civilian Conservation Corps de
layed final Senate action today on
the $1,073,584,916 relief bill.
Senator George, Democrat, of
Georgia started the dispute by pro
posing ‘‘voluntary elementary mil
itary training" for the 300,000 boys,
in addition to training in non
combatant service recommended by
the administration.
This drew opposition yesterday
from Democratic Leader Barkley and
Senator Byrnes, Democrat, of South
Carolina. They argued that the
War Department did not want to
train the C. C. C. enrollees
for combat warfare, but sorely
needed trained cooks, photographers,
mechanics and other skilled workers.
Few objections developed to Presi
dent Roosevelt's request to add to
the measure a $50,000,000 fund to
supplement European relief ac
tivities of the American Red Cross.
Adams Cites Tradition.
Senator Adams, Democrat, of
Colorado, floor manager for the re
lief bill, said that "a refugee fund
in some amount" would be approved,
but added:
"Previously the Red Cross has in
sisted on support from private con
tributions without aid of the Federal
Government. Maybe they have
altered this tradition.”
The President said the money
could be used for "purchase and ex
port of food materials" now piling
up as surpluses.
He also suggested that the fund
be provided “in somewhat elastic
form, because it is clear that at this
time it is impossible to forecast
either the exact needs or methods
of meeting them."
Numerous other defense provi
sions inserted in the relief bill won
Senate approval without discussion.
These included earmarking of

material costs of defense projects,
elimination of part payment on
these projects by State or local gov
ernments, and removal of usual re
lief employment restrictions for de
fense work.
Provisions barring aliens, Com
munists, or Nazi Bund members
from W. P. A. jobs, first inserted by
the House, caused no comment in
the Senate.
The chamber also approved spend
ing the entire $975,650,000 of W. P.
A. funds in eight months, starting
July 1, if the President deemed it
necessary, and removed House limi
tations on the iiumbre of persons to

Tentative approval also was given
to $200,000,000 for rural relief. Of
this, $75,000,000 would be a • new
appropriation and $125 000,000 would
be loans to farmers from R. F. C.
funds.
Adjournment Plans Pushed. ,
With Senate passage of the relief
and defense tax bills, the only major
work still before Congress, adminis
tration leaders went ahead—in the
face of strong opposition—with their
plans to adjourn June 22. President
Roosevelt told reporters yesterday
that the lawmakers could stay in
Washington all summer if they
wanted to, but he expressed the
hope that they would quit when the
essential measure are completed.
Republican Leader McNary of
Oregon said an adjournment reso
lution would encounter a “very close
vote” in the Senate, In both houses
a number of Democrats were join
ing Republicans in urging that Con
gress be kept here. Virginia and
Oklahoma Democratic Representa
tives went on record against ad
journment at this time.
