This is particu- larly true of the Congressional group, who do not concede the de- feated standard bearer the right to tell them what'to do and how to do it. They consider themselves the party’s elected spokesmen and they are taking orders from no one. If Willkie meant that the Willkie Clubs would constitute the “loyal opposition,” this is a subject about which the party chiefs see red. Few of them have any love for the Willkie Clubs. They view the movement coldly as a group of starry-eyed amateurs, who were a constant source of undercover irri- tation during the campaign and are sure to mean trouble to the regu- lars in the future. This feeling has not been lulled by the word reaching party chiefs that certain Willkie Club zealots are urging the clubs to turn their attention to “cleaning up organi- zation bad spots.” . . @ 11, as the regulars fear, the Clubs’ “Joyal opposition” aim is to become a pressure group for the purpose of taking control of the party organi- we have a junior college. ation and iaying down party poli ies, there is a bitter war in the ffing. The regulars definitely wil 10t submit to this, and with the »arty firmly in their hands they ar n a position to get tough about it ANTI-WILLKIE REGULARS One key factor in the situatio’ hat apparently both Willkie and he Club leaders have overlooke s that he was not an organizatio hoice at the Philadelphia conven fon. Willkie was an outsider and th s boarded his wagon only whe: hey had to. Also, and equally im pertant, the regulars were foree o play second fiddle in his cam paign. He consulted very few ¢ hem and left many barked shin by either deliberate or unwittir actlessness. There are plenty ¢ arty leaders who think this ha a lot to do with the fact that Wil' ies vote trailed the local GOP tick ats in practically every state. Further, there is the matter ¢ 244, Already a number of poss sllities are quietly laying plans fc at year—Governor Bicker ar enator-elect Burton of Ohio, Tor ewey, Governor Saltonstall of M: husetts, Senator Bridges of N Tampsire, and others.

DEFENSE TELEPHONES The National Defense Commission has a way of getting things done in A“hurry—~when it knows the right people. When ‘its offices first were being organized, Edward Stettinius, young, hard-working chairman of the Unit- ed States Steel Corporation and now commissioner for raw materials, had rouble with his telephone. The phone system, newly installed, was low and none too efficient. Finally Stettinius picked up the receiver and called Walter 8. Gif- ford in New York. Gifford, besides| being head of the American Tele-! phone and Telegraph Company, had served for years as a director of | U. 8. Steel and Stettinius knew| him well, “Walter,” said Stettinisu, “our| telephone service is terrible down here. Can't you do something about it?” Within aboub thirty minutes tele- phone experts from the local Wash- ington office walked in, and Mr. Stettinius has had no complaints/ to make since.
