S. Senator George W. Norris Neb.) charged last night. The CIO leader had been "sorely disappointed by President Roosevelt's refusal to appoint him to the cabinet or to permit him to name the secretary of labor," the veteran senator told interviewers before boarding a train for California. Norris predicted that Roosevevlt would carry the Pacific northwest by an "overwhelming majority," and that "the working men will not turn from their true friend in the White House." He described Willkie Saturday as "the untried, inexperienced man, the corporation magnate, who claims to be superior to other human beings." The senator, in an address spon sored by the national committee of independent voters for Roosevelt and Wallace, said that the repub.

lican presidential nominee "has given evidence only of his ability to manage private utility companies." He charged that Willkie "represents more than any other man on earth, the opposition to rural elec trification," and added that if he were a farm client of REA and voted for Willkie, he "would go straight home from the ballot box, turn off my electric lights and never turn them on again." Norris asserted "that In all President Roosevelt's history there Is not one indication that he has any desire to be a dictator In national affairs." He said that in a pre-con- vention conversation with the presi dent, he pointed out that conditions demanded a third term. The presi dent's reply, Norris said, was "I be lieve I am entitled to a rest." He left here yesterday for California. George Arbuckle In Drive forY.M.C.A. University of Oregon, Eugene, Oct. 28 Geo.
