He had just crossed from Siberia to Alaska when newspapermen met him with the press conference wisecrack Roosevelt had made about Willkie’s pronounciation of the word "reser-‘l voir,” the President giving it the more genteel Harvard accent in contrast to Willkie’s harsh, middle western “r.” Shown a copy of the | President’s remarks, Willkie was nettled, felt he had been publicly ridiculed, was about to issue a public rejoiner. But he decided to wait until he got back to the United States. He was always glad he waited. For the next day, arriving at Cal- gary, Willkie received a telegram of apology from FDR and a re-| quest that he come immediately to | Washington. Willkie took very seriously that world reporting trip for the Presi- dent. He felt keenly some of the things that were going on in India and China and, when he arrived in Minneapolis, he went to the home of John Cowles, co-publisher of the | Cowles newspapers, for a long con- ference with Governor Stassen and | the Cowles brothers. All evening | they discussed the nature of the | report Willkie should make to the President. | Next day Willkie's airplane was | late. It circled and circled over Wrnshmgton airport. waliting for clear weather to permit a landing. | He arrived at the White House | tired, his stomach a bit upset, but | gave a painstaking report to the | President.

I took occasion” to ask Willkie about this, but he said that the President had listened in= tently for an hour and a half with scarcely a word of interruption. Later, however, Willkie was| slightly irked when, after the Aus- | tralian government had invited hxm; to go to Australia, the White House | had Mrs. Roosevelt go instead.‘ ‘Willkie felt that the President had | not wanted him to get the pub-| licity build-up which might come from such a trip and intervened | with the Australian government. A period of coolness followed, deepened momentarily by a Mar- quis Childs magazine article in which Childs quoted various be- littling remarks Roosevelt was re- | ported to have made about Willkie. | ‘The President immediately wrote Willkie a long le?rr taking up, | peint by point, the £, ors in Childs' arficle.

He agreed, however, sibility Vice that if drafted, he would not de-| cline. The President in turn said he would be delighted to have Willkie as his running-mate, provided there was a spontaneous move from the convention to nominate him. He | added that he did not want any- thing to take place that looked like a political deal between them. It was on this same day that FDR wrote his much-controverted letter to Willkie suggesting that they get together for a talk in the near future, He scribbled the note and mailed by his secretary, Grace Tully. left for the West Coast and never actually signed it.

They! hounded him incessantly, but he| stood pat. Several times he dis-| cussed with this columnist the | question of whether he should come | lout for Roosevelt. At that time he ;ren pretty much with his old| | friend Albert Lasker, former pro- | moter of Warren G. Harding, that | {it was a choice of “holding your |nose with Roosevelt and closing | your eyes with Dewey, but that you never walked over a chff holding your nose.” The clearest indication that Willkie planned to come out for Roosevelt was given to Bartley| Crum, San Francisco Republican leader who has now come out for| FDR himself. “You remember when you were courting your wife,” said kaie,‘ “and you felt pretty certain she was going to say yes in the end, but she kept stalling you? ‘Well, |I guess I'm the same way.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14 .. Benefic aspects rule on this day when many planetary influences are active. The morning is favor- able to merchants and manufac- turers. HEART AND HOME: A fortun- ate day for women, and heartening to many long separated from sons, husbands and fiances, since it promises happy reunions for many. Leaves and furloughs will be nu- merous. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Restau- rants should profit- today. There is a good sign for factories of all sorts. Increase of production for civilian use will be marked. Bankers are under a favorable direction of the stars; they will aid in many new projects. NATIONAL ISSUES: Under this sway the political pot will boil fu- riously. The national campaign may reflect war trends-in which surprises and prominent. A simi- larity between war with ballots and war with bullets is discerned by the seers. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Astrologers who believe that the turning point in the World War was reached in 1942 now forecast that the next two years will be crucial in shaping the future. Al- though victory will probably be achieved befére 1947, armies will be long in the field and normal peace conditions will be slow in evolving. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of progress. Financial affairs should be man- aged with special care.
