fillment of ideals at a pace too fast
for the machinery.of the modern
body politic to function—people who
by insistence on too great speed fos-
ter an oligarchic form of government
such as communism, or naxiam, or
fascism."
“The other group, which presents
an equal danger,” he said, “is com-
posed of that small minority which
complains that the democratic pro-
cesses are inefficient as well as be-
slow, people who would have the
whole of government put into the
hands of a little group of those who
have proved their efficiency in .lines
of specialized science or specialized
private business.”
WALLACE CHIDED ON
THIRD TERM STATEMENT
Washington, Oct. 26.—Secretary of
Agriculture Henry A. Wallace was
rebuked for his statement that the
war abroad had made plain the desir-
ability of a third term for President
Roosevelt.
Thereby, Republicans and some
Democrats in Congress, who had
criticized Wallace for making such a
remark at a time when the adminis-
tration was asking an adjournment
of polities and nonpartisan consider-
ation of neutrality legislation, were
given implied assurance that Mr.
Roosevelt had nothing to do with the
Secretary’s action.
Stephen Early, a presidential sec-
retary, discussed the matter with re-
porters immediately after a visit to
the President's study.
“Is the war going to make the
President run for a third term?” a
reporter asked.
Early said he assumed that the
questioner referred to an individual
who had discussed the question in
- - ‘ , The
Secretary of Agriculture had made
his statement in the California city
Wednesday.
/“•■“It would have been kind and po-
lite of the speaker to have consulted
the victim before he spoke,” Early
continued.
“Is the victim the President?" he
was asked.
“He’s the third-term subject of the
statement,” Early replied.
Informed of the Capitol reaction
to Wallace’s interview, he added:
“It could have been timed" belter
if it had to be timed at^lk”
Another poljUefliievelopment
Thursday was a statement by Senator
Fletcher McNary of Oregon, the Re-
publican Senate leader, that he was
willing to have his name placed be-
fore the Republican convention next
year, but only for the purpose of aid-
ing agricultural areas to influence
the selection of the Republican can-
didate and the formation of the plat-
form.
Rocky Mountain National Park,
Colo.. Oet. 26.—Talk about getting
your goat—
Park Ranger Joe Fraser told Thurs-
day of four unhappy Kansas hunters
who boasted to their wives of the
bucks they would bring home. On
the last day of Colorado’s big game
season they had not fired a shot at
a deer, elk or bear.
“So,” said Fraser, “they bought a
goat from a rancher and they killed
it.
“They made imitation antlers for
the goat’s head and they took it back
to Kansas.
“They said they were sure their
wives would not know the difference
between a deer and a goat.”

Washington, October 26.—Admin-
istration forces won by a two to
one majority today the first test of
strength on the crux of the presi-
dent’s neutrality program, repeal of
the arms embargo.
The vote, 65 to 27, "came on an
amendment proposed by Senator
Downey (D-Cal) which would have
forbidden munitions sales to all for-
eign nations, neutrals or belliger-
ents, in peace time or war, except
state of the western hemisphere at
war with non-American nations.
Since the scope of the Downey
proposal extended beyond the pres-
ent war in Eufope it contained some
controversial matter not essentially
involved in the neutrality debate.
These ertraneous isAes cost the
proposal the vote of Senator Van-
derberg (R-Mich) and possibly one
or two others.
However, with these exceptions,
both sides agreed that the vote was
a test of strength and that, when
the senate ballots on the question in
another form—that of a motion to
strike the repeal clause from the
pending legislation—the roll-call
tally list would look very much as
it did today.
Administration forces, although
they received but 56 votes on the
Downey amendment, or 57 including
two that were paired, were still
highly confident of amassing a final
total of 65 or so. In justification of
this claim they pointed to the fact
that 14 senators were absent and un-
recorded today, most of whom are
nvowedly on the administration side
of the argument.
The final ballot may come tomor-
row.
Before Downey arose with his em-
bargo amendment, the senate had
adopted one amendment—by Senator
Tobey (R-NH) to forbid the use of
the American flag by belligerent
merchant ships—and rejected an-
other—by Senator Danaher (R-
Conn.) to forbid the sale of poison
gas or flame throwers to the Euro-
pean belligerents.
RELATIVES HOPE FOR
SURRENDER BY RUTH
Phoenix, Ariz., Oct. 26.—While
anxious relatives expressed the hope
she would surrender to avoid the
possibility of being declared sane and
executed, Winnie Ruth Judd, mad
murderess, succeeded Thursday in
keeping her whereabouts unknown.
Investigators admitted they had
found no trace of the S4-year-old
blonde, slayer of her two best friends
in 1931, since her midnight visit Tues-
day to the home of her parents, the
Rev. and Mrs. H. J. McKinnell, a few
minutes after she fled from the Ari-
zona State Hospital for the Insane.
As baffled officers pushed the
search for the trunk murderess, a
brother, Burton J. McKinnell, Wash-
ington, D. C., joined the husband Dr.
W. C. Judd, Los Angeles, in declar-
ing the escape a mistake and a fool-
ish move, and expressing the hope
she would surrender as soon as pos-
sible.
Should she remain at large until
officers catch up with her, young Mc-
Kinnell expressed the fear she might
be declared sane and executed, a fate
she twice escaped, once in 1932 by
appeal of her conviction to the State
Supremo Court, and again in 1983 by
virtue of being declared insane.
Gov. Bob Jones has promised she
will not be punished if she returns
voluntarily.
From Santa Monica, Calif., a sis-
ter-in-law, Caroline Judd, expressed
the belief Winnie Ruth had escaped
to the American mining regions of
Mexico, where she formerly lived
with Dr. Judd. It was known that
she had correspondence with someone
in San Luis Potosi.
Mrs. Judd also had recently ex-
pressed the desire to go to South Af-
rica, where she had missionary
friends, and Phoenix ministers,
whose names were not disclosed, had
discussod the prospect with state au-
thorities.
Y. C. White, the Governor’s secre-
tary, said his investigation indicated:
Mrs. Judd had help from within the
hospital and probably after she
reached the outside.
She was fully clothed, but had only
11 in money.
There were two avenues of escape
—through a locked door, which would
have required a key, and an unlocked
door, which generally was blocked by
the bed of an attendant.
“The only known fact,” White
said, “is that she visited her parents’
home. From there on, her where-
abouts are unknown.”

CRITICS LASHED BY PRESIDENT
Washington, Oct. 26.—President
Roosevelt, striking out at critics who
charge that his foreign policy may
lead the United States to war, accus-
ed them tonight of perpetrating “one
of the worst fakes in current his-
tory.” 1
In and out of congress, he said,
orators have been “beating their
breasts and proclaiming against
sending the boys of American moth-
ers to fight on the battlefields
Europe.”
This, he asserted in a radio ad-
dress, is “a shameless and dishonest
fake." No persons in any post of
responsibility anywhere in the Unit-
ed States, he said, has ever sug-
gested that American boys be sent to
fight abroad.
The president’s speech, made as
the senate neared the final action on
his proposal to repeal the arms em-
bargo, was delivered from the White-
House under the auspices, of the
New York Herald Tribune forum on
“The War’s Challenge to the United
States.*'
The president also praised the
’“majority of the press and the radio’
for “objective reporting” of the in-
ternational situation. He said this
had worked so well that he wished
“for more of it in the field of domes-
tic news.”
After repeating that this country
is neutral and does not.intend to get
involved in the war, the president
said:
“That we can be neutral in
thought as well as in act is, as I
have said before, impossible of ful-
fillment because* again, the people of
thia country, thinking things through
calmly and without prejudice, have
been and are making up their minds
about relative merits of current
events on other continents.
“It is a fact increasingly manifest
that presentation of real news has
sharpened the minds and the judg-
ment of men and women everywhere
in these days of real public discus-
sion—and we Americans begin
know the difference between
truth on the one side and the false-
hood on the other, no matter how
often the falsehood is iterated and
reiterated. Repetition does not trans-
Cove underwent a minor operation' form a lie into a truth.”
Discussing propaganda, he said it
was perhaps a good thing that con-
gress had been “deluged” with it
from time to time in behalf of vari-
ous causes.
"Members of the house of represen-
tatives und the senate,” he explained,
“begin to discriminate nowadays be-
tween l.onest, spontaneous, unsolicit-
ed expressions of opinion on the part
of voters and the propaganda type
of mass appeals."
In another portion of his speech,
the president said there were two
distinct dangers to democracy—the
“peril from those who seek the ful-
