The other writer said he believed the contest was too close to venture

a guess on its outcome. All agreed that the race would be the closest since 1916 when one California Coynty turned victory into defeat for Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, then the Republican candidate. A comparative survey made by the magazine on Sept. 23 showed a rapidly changing political picture so far as the correspondents see it. In that poll, 34 writers forecast Mr. Roosevelt's re-election com-

Nazis Say All Beaten Nations Will Be Fed -

BERLIN, Oct. 31 (U. P.).—Wellinformed German sources said today the peoples of countries occupied by Germany would be fed this winter although rationing would be en-

forced in varying degrees, depending upon available supplies and future production possibilities. German administrators were confident that while French, Dutch, Belgians and others would complain, they would co-operate with the Germans in the matter of food production, regulation and preservation. Chief shortages in all occupied countries are soap, oils, fats and foods such as tea, coffee and cocoa. Germans do not, hawever, regard these as having sericus effect on general nourishment. German sources said “the most serious food shortage at the present

try made them confident they could meet the basic needs. They said they relied on trade agreements among some occupied countries and with other continental nations to help and would facilitate such agreements. The recent RussoDanish trade pact providing Denmark with cattle fodder was cited as an example. One informed source said that in all of the occupied nations except * Norway, large war stocks of food had been found and that these would be drawn upon in case of need to help their populations, Officials, However, refrain from stating publicly that Germany will make herself responsible for this task. Satisfactory harvests in ‘Germany this year are said to be a favorable factor, making it more likely that seized stocks will not be requisi-

, Steps have been taken to cut down on meat production in all the occupied countries in order to save on grain stocks. Agreements between countries like Holland and Belgium are expected to equalize food. - It was said that the food situation in former Poland had improved

considerably and that no food problem iss expected there this winter.

‘Some grain,” it was said, has been

sent to the area from Germany.

Strict rationing has been intro-|-

duced by German administrators in all’ occupied countries, with the primary object of conserving supplies for a possible long pull, it was said. While no serious shortage is expected this winter, the Germans are determined that the agricultural

the same New England high road that Mr. Willkie coyered three weeks -ago, Mr. Roosevelt pegged ‘his eleventh-hour cotmter-attack on a statement of his peace aims. He is doing everything he can to knock down Republican arguments that his re-election would mean “going down the road to war.” Bluntly he said at Hartford: “I notice that the United States has remained at peace; it is at peace and is going. to remain at peace.” No Soldiers For Eurecpe

At New Haven: “All this talk of sending boys to Europe doesn’t conform with facts of the past or the future.” At Worcester: “Our defense efforts are for defense=—and nothing else.” And at Boston: “Your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars.” The President was cheered by large crowds as he traveled up the Connecticut: Valley and across Massachusetts to Boston in drab, | gray weather. In Boston Garden last night more than 20,000 persons acclaimed his defense of the rearmament program. Campaigning in a region where vast sums spent on defense have made thousands of jobs, Mr. Roosevelt frequently called this to his listeners’ ‘attention.
