Willkie Askin For Tip Wants fo Know with Whom U. S. Has Infernational Understandings NEW YORK, Oct. 9.—Wendell I. Willkie last night demanded that President Roosevelt tell this Nation whether there are “any interna-| tional understandings to put Am- erica into this war, that we, the citizens of the United States do not know about.

READ IT:—— MUSKEGON, Mich.—Chaos followed the fire here which de- destroyed the offices of the Muskegon Railway & Navigation Com- pany, branch belt-line of the Gra nd Trupk-Western Railroad Com- pany. Because the records, in ordinary uninsulated steel files and an obsolete iron safe, were completely destroyed, no one knew where freight cars should be sent, or what charges should be made for the use of the line’s facilities. Forty- eight hours passed before certain freight cars could be released from the yard. But most serious loss, aside from the actual value of burned accounts receivable, was the total destruction of the irreplaceal employees. A few records can be reconstructed, but a tremendous cost. ble personal history records of all Fire- Files would have saved the records and eliminated the disruption of service.
