GOP CONGRESS
ACTION FLAYED
Found Different Than
Willkie Promises
(By The Associated Press.)
Wendell L. Willkie praased hi*
intensive campaign for New York
state Tuesday with renewed criti-
cism of defense program progress.
Charging “startling and disturbing'
delay in army housing construction
he declared that it was not right
“to induct our boys" into the ser-
vice until they can be housed
healthfully.
As the Republican nominee con-
tinued hia heavy schedule ol
speeches supporters of President
Roosevelt criticized the program
Willkie has advocated asserting
(hat It was at variance with the
voting of Republicans in Congress
Willkie said in a speech prepared
for a forenoon rally at Rochester.
N. Y that there has been “pitiful
inefficiency" in housing the expan-
ded army. He quoted Acting Drait
Director Lewis B. Her&hey as pre-
dicting it would take a year to meet
the requirements of 400 000 men.
The charge that Willkie was out
of step with his party was made by
Rep. McCormack of Massachusetts.
Democratic house leader. In a
statement Issued by the National
Committee of Independent Voter*
for Roosevelt and Wallace McCor-
mack said:
“The record shows that Republi-
cans In the house have voted con-
sistently against some of the most
vital defense legislation against
farm parity and for wrecking the
national labor relations board. Their
votes make Willkie's words mere
emptv. campaign promises which
he can't fulfill."

Dallas Pastor
Here In Revival
‘"Dean Shed Too Lata" was the
subject of a sermon by Rev. C. 8.
CadwaUader. pastor of East Dallas
Baptist church in revival services
at First Baptist church here Mon-
day night
Rev. Mr. CadwaUader is conduct-
ing an eight-day revival at the
church ending next Sunday night.
Services are held daily at 8 a. m
and 7:30 p. m.
Taking his lesson from the por-
tion of the Holy Bible where David
receives the message of the death
of his son. Absalom. Rev. Mr.
CadwaUader stated that In life a
person might “place his tears” by
either “weeping vicarious tears of
intercession and prayer or tears of
remorse.'*
Excerpts from his sermon follow:
“David wept because he felt anew
the responsibility for the boy who
wss killed—the responsibility for
his physical educational social
spiritual and eternal welfare and
being. David felt that he. the father
of Absalom was the cause oT his
sons ruin—reaping from the sin-
ful life of David's past”
“David realised that 'pay day'
had come. It cost Israel as a na-
tion for David to sin. It cost Da-
vids family—all of them—for Da-
vid to sin. It cost David a good
conscience and a life of inward
peace.”
“David wept because he felt the
desire to come back to God. God
%as drawing David back to him-
self. I exhort the people or the
church the citv and the nation to
come back to God.”
Dr. CadwaUader sings s solo at
each evening service. He was in-
vited to conduct the revival here by
Dr. Charles S. Pierce local pastor.

How news is gathered how it if
brought to you in articles and dis-
patches and advertisements is a long
and interesting story. But you get the
news—cheaply accurately quickly.
Now let’s see what you do with it
uken you get it. w

THE German public
believes Germany is
protecting Norway and
Denmark. The Russians
think that southern Finland
and the little Baltic nations
came joyously into the arms
of the Soviet Union.
You don't believe these things. Even
through airtight censorship the stench
of a hundred high crimes in far places
has reached your nostrils. How?
We’ve had businessmen and poli-
ticians and yes publishers in America
who have tried to hoodwink the pub-
lic. A good many have gone to jail
and others are on the ash heap tossed
out by public opinion. You heard of
these things. You’ll hear of more. Hon?
We’ve had brave and true men in
these same fields who have done great
and good things for you and others.
The news of their deeds has come to
you also. Hon?

There are ten or a hundred new
plastics that promise us an amazing
list of useful products. There’ll be
standardized television soon. Holly-
wood is making a whole series of
patriotic musicals. There is a sale of
children’s coats today at one store of
men’s wear in another. Vitamin B is a
household word; you already know

In the first place you the people
govern yourselves regulate the affair!
of your community the state th«
nation. Because you know what’s go-
ing on you are able to adjust your
lives and your laws and your thoughts
to the actual and factual world in
Germany or Russia fairy tales will
serve as well as news because the sub-
jects of those states have ail their
thinking and governing done from
what passes for the top.
In the second place you the people
of America having the news and in-
formation about all that’s offered in
the market place know how and w here
and when to huy the things you need
and want for human comfort. In Rus-
sia you’d stand in line and take what
was offered—if anything. In Germany
even before the war began you’d get
measured amounts of “ersau”—sub-
stitutes—and like them.
In America then the things vr>u
learn from your newspaper contribute
largely to your liberty and mightily
to your comfort. Of course you must
pay for your new spapers. The nation's
newspaper bill is slightly less than the
bill for candy—just a few cents a day.
I call it a fair bargain.
