High, a writer and lecturer on National and international affairs who once headed the Good Neighbor League supporting Roosevelt, said his first reason for turning to Willkie was that the Democratic candidate "is not Mr. Roosevelt." "The candidate, rather. Is the composite of a small clique of dubiously American but highly purposeful men for whom, as one of them once remarked, Mr.

Roosevelt plays the tune that they compose." he declared. "I dislike the tune and distrust its composers."

Wilson Cowen, regional direc tor of the Farm Security Admin istration, discussing the economic condition of dust bowl farmers, says that despite the small wheat crop "dust bowl collections on loans made by F.S.A. are improv ing monthly."

Fletcher had issued nn Inter- pretation of the Hatch Act's re-jtrictions on campaign contributions, and Jackson had characterized the interpretation as a plan "for avoiding the limitations" of the act. Jackson Challenged.

In reply, Fletcher said in a itatement that the Republican National Committee had no intention of "evading or skirting" these provisions. He challenged Jackson to say specifically wherein the interpretation was wrong nd asked: "I Mr. Jackson, by a general denial of my interpretation, trying to intimidate contributors to nv committee working for Mr. Willkie? If not. will he tell me where I am wrong? We want to observe the law."
