Willkie refuses to drop his challenge to PTA head Mrs. James C. Parker over modern educational philosophy. The Rushville lawyer, son of the 1940 GOP nominee, urged a public argument on school policy and a tougher study program focusing on math and basics. Parker replied that debate can bring heat, but Willkie insists debate shapes policy in a free society.
