Politics in Key States—
REGISTRATIONS ~ LIGHT IN OHIO
Cleveland Vote -Seen as, Vital Factor in Buckeye Results.
Editor, Columbus (0.) Seripps-Howard Bureau
COLUMBUS, O. Sept. 25.—Publicly optimistic about election prospects in Ohio, as both Republican © and Democratic leaders are,” many in both parties admit privately that the result is still far from certain. It depends largely on developments in the six weeks between now and election day. One big factor will be the extent to which the big-city Democratic organiza- ~ tions succeed in getting their voters registered, with the help of the C. 1. O. Political Action Committee. Cleveland is a8 key spot in that regard. Unless President Roosevelt piles up a big lead there, he cannot carry Ohio. That was shown in 1940, when the President led Wendell Willkie by 138,000 in the Cleveland metropolitan area and carried the state by only 146,000. Registration Is Light Registration to. date in Cleveland is light. Competent observers there see that as a sign that the President’s local lead may be cut to 100,000 or less this fall. A like shrinkage in other industrial centers, where the registration situation is about the same, might be enough to shift Ohio's 25 electoral votes from the Democratic to the Republican column. Nobody doubts that Ohie’s rural counties will go for Governor . Thomas E. Dewey at least as * strongly as they did for Mr. Willkie in 1940. Besides Cleveland, the President's strongholds in 1940 were Youngstown and the adjacent Mahoning Valley steel territory, Dayton, Akron and Canton. He also swept the state's two major coal-produc- | ing counties in spite of John L. Lewis’ opposition.

Builders may go in for greater use of brick, masonry, and glass during the lumber deficit, but housing experts feel basic Jumber requirements will remain a bottleneck, as well as lack of equip= ment such as furnaces, bathroom fixtures, hardware. = : The frozen food man will be coming around to your door like the milk-man, in the new food era foreseen by department of agriculture food strategists, He'll have a menu of cooked meals to shop from, as well as the familiar vegetables, meats and fruits, A splurge of home and farm freezing units is also expected to do away with some of the fuss of home-canning Season,
Odds and Ends
Hopes for seeing new toasters and other electrical appliances are higher with the announcement that there'll be enough copper wire after European victory to spare some for homefolks’ goods. Copper wire has been a major factor holding up small electrical appliances. Up to now reports have indicated that military demands were far ahead of output. You may see all kinds of aluminum gadgetry. The war production hoard is urging manufacturers to use the surplus. , . .
