. WILLKIE RIVAL?

GOP Nominee Opens N. Y.

7 SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y.,

DEWEY NAMED;

Campaign, but Interest Is on 1944 Fight.

Aug. 25 (U, P.).—~The New York state gubernatorial campaign, . with its important bearing on the 1944 esidential sweepstakes, was under ay today, Thomas E. Dewey, the Republican candidate, having op-

ened it before the convention which|

nominated him last night with a pledge of loyalty to “the command-er-in-chief” but a reservation of “the right to criticize.” The Republican state convention holds its final session today to nominate the remainder of its ticket— Thomas W. Wallace of Schenectady

for lieutenant governor, Frank C.|

Moore of Kenmore for controller, and Nathaniel L. Goldstein of Brooklyn for attorney general. Leaders agreed upon all of them last night, after long conferences. Followers of Wendell L. Willkie were none too happy over events, despite the fact that the state platform embodied Mr. Willkie's strictures against appeasement in the conduct of the war and isolationism after the war. They fear that Mr. Dewey, if elected, will be Mr. Willkie’s rival for the 1944 Republican Republican presidential nominatien, and a most potent one with New 4 York state behind him. Their fears were only silghtly modified by @& fleeting reference to 1944 in Dewey's acceptance speech before the wildly cheering convention last night.

junning Mate Carefully Chosen

. Dewey said: is convention and the Repubcampaign are concerned only winning the war and with pri government for the people of ) B state of New York for the next I years. For my part, let me say ght now, that I shall devote the four years exclusively to the fice of the people of New York

kie men saw this pledge as je apparent than real. Mr. y, they felt, was not so pledged § he couldn’t be a more or less jctant beneficiary of a 1944 Dewey-for-president moveTheir uneasiness was further sed by the unusual care with the Dewey men, who are in ete control of the convention, ted the party’s candidate for nant governor. uld the ticket be elected and ewey moves on to bigger fields 1944, the lieutenant governor succeed to the governor's with two years left to serve.

He had working for the nomination ihe was narrowly defeated in “by retiring Governor Herbert H. “Lehman, and practically every flelegate was pledged to him. There was no nominating speech in the usual sense. The auditorium was darkened and the delegates saw a news reel showing Tammany Leader Jimmy Hines and Bund Leader Fritz Kuhn entering Sing Sing prison and other phases of Dewey’s career as the racket-bust-ing district attorney of New York county, Then Kenneth S. MacAtffer, ‘Albany county leader, said: : “I nominate Thomas E. Dewey.”

DEAN PLEDGES ‘CLEAN’ RACES

Democrats to Concentrate On Candidates for

Legislature.

Every effort will be made to keep the Democratic campaign this fall on the highest possible level, Russell J, Dean, Marion county chairman, said today. “In times like these our citizens are interested only in one question —which party is best equipped to keep local government operating at a speed and an efficiency which will help bear the tremendous load our state and national governments are carrying?” he said. Mr. Dean asserted that it was the intention of the county. Democrats to concentrate intensively on the election of the party’s legislative

“will not be harrassed by petty politicians as he was in the last general session.”

Party Is Confident

“The Democratic party,” he said, “enters this campaign with the highest confidence. We feel that the voters recognize the fact that it is dangerous to change to inexperienced public officials at a time when every minute of the day is important.” County Democratic headquarters on the second and third floors of Loew’s theater building, 33 N. Pennsylania st., will be ready for operation early next week. Mr. Dean said that the county organization in making the fall campaign would hold campaign expenditures to a minimum in view of the heavy war-time financial burdens on the citizens and that the energies of party workers would be

ings. He said that only one big general rally may be held.

Fifth Column?

ELGIN, Ill, Aug. 25 (U. P). — Aviator C. A, Bohle, from a mile above, looked down and saw the 50foot initials, “C. B—D. R.” cut in

pale green letters in the dark green hayfield. Bohle, his mind on fifth columnists, went to Sheriff Marcus W. Damisch of Kane county. Damisch was skeptical, but he called the FBI at Chicago. Bohle, Damisch and the federal agent went up in Bohle’s plane. Bohle had not exaggerated. The letters were plain as ever in the six-inch stubble of the field. The men visited Joseph Bagg, its owner. Bagg knew nothing about the let-

ters. He sald his son, Charles, 15, had mowed the field. Charles blushed. “I was just cutting the field last Saturday,” he said,” and it occurred to me that, well, that I'd like to cut my initials with the mower. The ‘C. B; stands for my name and the ‘D. R’ stands for, well, those are Dorothy Russell’s initials. We're in the same class in high school and she’s my girl.” Damisch said he didn’t want to interfere with a high school romance, but neither did he want to be bothered with another spy-hunt. He told Charles to mow the letters out of the field and carve them on an oak tree

CALIFORNIA CASTS PRIMARY BALLOTS

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 25 (U. R.).—California votes today to pick party nominees for 23 seats in congress,’ governor and state, local and district offices. It was doubtful that more than 40 per cent of the state’s 3,751,296 registered voters would cast ballots. All 19 of California’s congressmen sought re-election, while the three new districts created by the reapportionment of 1940 and the

vacancy created by the death of Lee Geyer provoked close contests.

Among ‘the nine Republicans facing hot fights were congress whip Harry L. Englebright from the second district; Thomas Rolph, facing a large field in San Francisco, and Leland Ford, Santa Monica, who was opposed by Will Rogers Jr, publisher, now in the army. Governor Culbert L. Olson, first Democrat chief executive in a half century, was conceded his party's nomination. Atty. Gen, Earl Warren, campaigning for the Republican nomination, has charged that the state’s defense machinery has been mishandled. Observers believed he would win the Republican nomination. COLUMBIA, 8. C., Aug. 25 (U. P.).—South Carolina Democrats voted in their party primary today after a campaign enlivened by charges by Eugene S. Blease, former state supreme court chief justice, that he had received threats from a “black dragon society” for advocating “white supremacy.” -Blease is seeking the senatorial seat now

held by Senator Burnet R. Maybank.

AT AN ADVANCED ALLIED BASE, Australian Zone, Aug. 25 (U. P)—First Lieut. Albert O. Hart, Sheridan, Mont., probably would be alive today if he had not stayed behind when his unit broke camp to deliver a Sunday

sermon. Hart became the first United States army chaplain killed in this war when a plane carrying him to a new camp crashed while landing and killed all aboard, it was dis closed today. When ' his unit was ordered to a new location, Hart volunteeredto wait a few days to help supervise shipments of supplies and equipment.

AFL in 7 States After U. S. Warning.

CHICAGO, Aug. 25 (U.P.).—Dexter Lewis, regional director for the

striking truck drivers back to work in seven states west of the Mississippi river after a “final warn-

war labor board. Lewis said’ the back-to-work or-

| der, releasing stalled trucks in Min-| \¥8

nesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas and North and south Dakota, had been issued last night through the office of President Daniel Tobin of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (A. F, of L.) at Indianapolis.’

Strike Began Friday

day .in protest against alleged failure of truck operators to comply with a WLB order directing pay-| ment of wage increases retroactive to Nov. 16, 1941.

He said approximately 10,000 drivers had heen made idle, some

company stoppages resulting from the strike. First compliancé with the back-to-work order came from the Min-neapolis-St. Paul area where Sidney Brennan, secretary-treasurer

F, of L.), said 1400 drivers and helpers reported for work today. .

Affects Nearly 100 Cities

Lewis said locals in almost 100 other Midwest cities: also would send their members back to work today. The WLB order for an end to the strike came from the board’s vice chairman, George Taylor, who telegraphed teamster locals and Tobin that the WLB would “terminate your defiance to your government” unless the strike were called off. It was believed the army would have taken gver truck operations. Tobin was in England on a labor mission for President Roosevelt and the A. F. of I. The back to work order was issued by Tobin’s assistant, Thomas Flynn, who said the strike was not authorized by imternational headquarters. :
