Willkie Shuts Door
On Commitments on
Foreign Policy Moves
Points to Roosevelt's
Stond in Reply to Hoover
After 1932 Election
By J. A. O’LEARY.
8tar Staff Correspondent.
COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo.,
Aug 10.—Wendell L. Willkie had
effeatively closed the door today
against any efforts to commit him in
advance to support administration
foreign policy moves.
In a formal statement late yes
terday he pointedly took the posi
tion that the President and Congress
•’must bear their appropriate re
sponsibilities” in shaping govern
mental policy. At the same time,
he defended his right as a candi
date for President to remain in a
position to discuss the Government's
course of action unhampered by ad
vance agreements.
Mr. Willkie made it clear that the
statement was his answer to efforts
made in recent weeks to have him
agree to certain specific proposals
concerning this country's course of
action in the present international
situation. He did not reveal who
had made the suggestions, but ex
plained that while some stated
frankly they did not speak for the
administration, others left their
status in doubt.
Says Attitude Known.
The Republican nominee insisted
his own general attitude toward
the present world situation and how’
It affects American interests is
well known, but he made it plain he
does not intend to be placed in a
position that would render him un
able to discuss publicly any given
position the administration may
take. ,
In support of his position, Mr.
Willkie cited the example set by
President Roosevelt himself, fol
lowing his election in 1932. Herbert
Hoover, the outgoing President, was
considering the foreign debt settle
ment question, and Mr. Willkie re
called that President-elect Roosevelt
at that time said to Mr. Hoover:
"The immediate questions raised
create a responsibility which rests
upon those now vested with execu
tive and legislative authority."
Mr. Willkie went a step further,
however, by indicating in his state
ment that such a stand might be
open to question after a candidate
has been elected, whereas it would
not be subject to challenge while a
man is still running for office.
The text of his statement follows:
"During the course of the last
couple of weeks several different
persons have communicated with
me, some frankly stating that they
did not represent the administra
tion, while others left their status
in doubt. It was suggested by some
of these that it was desired that
I enter into certain commitments
on specific proposals concerned with
the foreign policy of the United
States, provided the administration
would take certain positions with
reference thereto. On at least one
occasion there were press reports |
about such communications, and I
have just learned of anotner press
report on the same subject.
Commitments “Not Appropriate."
“In order that there may be no
possible misinterpretation I want to
make my position quite clear. First
of all, my general views on the for
eign policy and the vital interests
of the United States in the present
International situation are well
known, having been stated by me
publicly several times. As to specific
executive or legislative proposals, I
do not think it appropriate for me
to enter into advance commitments
and understandings. If the national
administration through any of its
accredited representatives publicly
takes any given position with ref
erence to our foreign policy I may
on appropriate public occasions
comment thereon.
“President - elect Franklin D.
Roosevelt said to President Herbert
Hoover in November, 1932: ‘The im -
mediate questions raised create a
responsibility which rests upon those
now vested with executive and leg
islative authority.’ Much doubt w-as
expressed as to the wisdom of that
statement by a President-elect.
None can doubt its correctness when
taken by a candidate for President.
“May I add at this time in the
world's history when democratic
government and method is in test,
we should be especially careful to
keep alive the democratic processes
In arriving at governmental policies
and acts. The Chief Executive and
Congress must bear their appro
priate responsibilities, and the can
didate for the presidency of the
United States should reserve to him
self an unhampered right of public
discussion.”
Destroyer Question Raised.
The advisability of selling old
United States destroyers to Great
Britain in her present crisis is said
to have been one of the questions
suggested to Mr. Willkie's advisers
by a man who did not claim to be
speaking for the President. Ac
cording to reports, it was intimated
that this step might be recommend
ed by the administration if Mr
Willkie would not attack it. Mr.
Willkie. it is understood, took the
position that to make such an
agreement would be equivalent to
indorsing it, and that only the ad
ministration had the facts on which
to decide the question.
In one of the speeches he made
nt Akron, Ohio, before his nomina
tion, Mr. Willkie called assistance
to the Allies the first consideration
In discussing national defense for
this country.
Taking the position that if France
end England could stop Hitler this
country might be saved from later
expenditure of billions for defense,
Mr. Willkie at that time said it
would “be to our advantage to help
them in every way we can short of
declaring war.”
Not long after that France was
subdued, and Congress began speed
ing up the appropriation of billions
for defense, followed more recently
by debate over compulsory military
training legislation. In these recent
weeks Mr. Willkie has avoided com
ment on pending defense questions,
indicating that he wants to wait
to discuss the entire subject in his
acceptance speech, to be delivered
at Elwood, Ind., one week from
today.
Questioned on Connections.
In greeting a group of 50 news
paper editors from Western Kansas
yesterday afternoon Mr. Willkie as
sured them he became the Republi
can nominee without placing him
self under promises or obligations
to any one. When the question of
whether he has any Wall Street
connections came up he said:
"I occupy no business position and

Police Recover Body
Of Man Who Leaped
From Chain Bridge
Found in Rapids Near
Spot Where He Was Seen
To Sink for Last Time
Harbor police today recovered
from the Potomac River the body of
a man supposed to be Arthur H.
Bartelt, who leaped from Chain
Bridge yesterday after parking his
car on the span. The car w’as listed
to Mr. Bartelt. 43. of 1424 R street
N.W., a General Accounting Office
accountant.
Police began their, dragging oper
ations last night, finally locating
the body today in the churning
rapids about 35 feet downstream
from the bridge at almost the spot
where fishermen said they saw the
man sink for the last time.
Having placed his car near the
Virginia end of the structure, he
had vaulted over the upstream rai\
of the bridge and hurtled down to
the swift currents, landing on his
back, witnesses declared. The ef
fort of one fisherman, Vernon Goul
trie of Alexandria, to reach him in
a rowboat proved futile.
A note was found in the parked
sedan. Police notified Mr. Bartelt's
brother. Edward F. Bartelt. Treas
ury Department commissioner of
accounts. The brother's family
stated that Arthur Bartelt’s nerves
had been frayed by the heat. He
had started to drive to Quincy, 111.,
last Saturday to visit his mother,
Mrs. Amelia Bartelt, but had been
forced to turn back because of his
sensitiveness to the excessively
warm weather.

men ever nominated for President
of the United States without a

It may be due to the fact that no

Anyway, it is completely true. It

Plane Hostess Back
In New York, Attack
Case Declared Closed
Airlines Officials Say
Girl Will Return
To Routine Trips
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—Pale and
apparently weak, Miss Rosemary
Griffith, American Airlines hostess,
who said an unknown assailant
knocked her unconscious during a
flight to Nashville, Tenn., Wednes
day, returned to New York today.
She was helped from a sleeper
plane into a waiting taxicab, which
sped away, presumably to her Flush
ing home. Efforts to talk with her
were unavailing. A spokesman for
the American Airlines said: "The
casr is closed. The girl will go back
to routine trips.”
Airline officials said the cab wait
ing near the incoming plane "was
just a coincidence—the cab was
probably ordered for some other
passenger.” Airport rules forbid
taxicabs to enter the area.
Girl Stands by Story,
Denied Row With Friend
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 10 (JF).—
Miss Rosemary Griffith repeated to
newsmen yesterday her previously
Announced story of having been
slugged on an airliner en route to
Nashville Wednesday night and
swallowing the key to the mail and
baggage compartment which an un
seen assailant had demanded.
The blond 24-year-old American
Airlines hostess was interviewed in
her hospital room after she had
talked with a Civil Aeronautics
Board inspector, a postal inspector
a deputy United States marshal and
an airlines attorney.
Dr. John Burch, who attended her
after she was taken to the hospital
Wednesday with the key in her
stomach, a bruise on her head and
scratches on a hand and a leg, per
mitted her to fly back to her New
York home last night.
Sticks to Her Story.
What she told the officers was
not disclosed, but to reporters she
reiterated the story which Paul
Stanley, Nashville sales representa
tive of the airlines, said she had
told him.
Later, when she was shown a story
printed by a local newspaper assert
ing she had quarreled with a friend
before leaving New York and that
she had a "premonition,” Miss Grif
fith became hysterical and said the
published account was "pure false
hood."
She said W. C. Jakeman, a co
pilot for American Airlines, who
visited her here and was with her
when she was first interviewed by
newsmen, had driven her to the
airport when she left New York
Wednesday night, but that it was
not true that they had quarreled.
Denies “Premonition.”
She also denied having said before
taking off that she had a premoni
tion something was going to happen
on the flight.
She said she had written a num
ber of letters to friends before leav
ing New York and in one of them,
to a man in Chicago, had jokingly
said she might not look the same
when he saw her again.
This referred, Miss Griffith said,
to the fact that she had broken her
nose when she was thrown against
the dashboard in an automobile
accident several weeks ago.

Englishwoman Glad to Be Here;
American Wants to Go Over
Bertrand Hutchinson is a 23-year
old American who thinks he should
go to England to help fight the war.
Mrs. L. G. Burleigh is an English
woman who thinks she should stay
out of Great Britain and is glad to
be in America.
Both were in Washington today,
Mr. Hutchinson trying to get the
State Department to allow him to go
to England and Mrs. Burleigh mak
ing arrangements to take her two
children to Morehead. N. C., for the
duration of hostilities.
Drove Ambulance in France.
Mr. Hutchinson lived in England
for 14 years and drove an ambulance
for the American Field Service dur
ing the Battle of France. He was
forced to flee over the Spanish bor
der when the French armies sur
rendered
In spite of his efforts to get into
England, he was shipped back to
the United States. In Washington
he has enlisted the aid of Robert
Woods Bliss, former Ambassador
to Argentina, to help him get back
to England.
The Neutrality Act has Mr.
Hutchinson stymied and the State
Department has thus far turned
down all his proposals. He is leav
ing today to try to discover some
new approach to the problem. He
is considering going to Canada now
to join the R. A. F.

Mras. Burleigh and her two chil

guests of Dr. and Mrs. Fred W. Mor

pending their departure for the
South.
She believes that non-fighting
folk should get out of England and ,
make room for the men who must
do battle. Her husband, a veteran
of the last war, is in the home de
fense in his spare time.
There is no panic in England,
she said, and there is plenty of food
for the winter. No money can be
sent out of the country, so all she
has is the 10 pounds she was al

10,000 to Be Taken
From One Flooded
M «
Louisiana City
Food Short at Crowley;
24 Inches of Rain in
Some Parts of State
By the Aesoclsted Press.
CROWLEY, La., Aug. 10.—The
Coast Guard and Red Cross moved
today to evacuate all 10.000 resi
dents of this rice belt city in the
greatest rain flood of Louisiana
history.
Bread and milk were the only
foods available this morning, Coast
Guard officials said, and sanitary
conditions were becoming acute.
All residents were taken from
their homes to the courthouse,
school buildings, rice warehouses
and other large buildings.
24 Inches of Rain. .
Precipitation which followed last
Tuesday's tropical storm totaled as
much as 24 inches in 24 hours in
some parts of Southwest Louisiana.
A score of towns and communities
were inundated, some without water,
lights or sewer facilities, and many
homes were reported to have drifted
away. Rice, cotton and com crops
were heavily damaged. Roads were
blocked.
Crowley, rice capital of America,
was in darkness last night and most
of its business houses had several
feet of water above the floors. The
sewerage and water systems were
out of commission.
Governor Makes Appeal.
Other towns inundated or par
tially flooded included Lafayette,
Rayne, Kaplan, Scott, Erath, Del
cambre and Gueydan.
Gov. Sam Jones made a radio
appeal for boats and co-ordinated
State* Federal and local relief work.
Doctors, nurses and medical supplies
were rushed in as reports of epi
demic danger spread.
The Southern Pacific Railway
continued to operate as its roadbed
is elevated throughout the section.
It made up special trains to haul
supplies and evacuate refugees.
Mayor Gabi Maraist of Kaplan
came riding out of the flood zone
on the top of his car, which was
pulled by a tractor. He said SO
homes in his town floated away.
Business at Standstill.
Refugees were being bunked in
warehouses, business establishments
and public buildings, most of them
on upper floors. Business in the
area was practically at a standstill.
The torrential rains followed a
tropical hurricane which tore along
the coast last Tuesday before going
inland into Texas. The blow pushed
tidal water far inland and aggra
vated the menace of rain. Only
one fatality, a drowning, has been
reported during the week.
The rain generally had stopped
falling today and it was believed
the accumulated water would be
gin to subside.
