When Mr. Cobb retired at the depth of the depression, he handpicked Mr. Willkie as his successor. Mr. Willkie immediately began a whirlwind campaign to revive the business of the corporation’s subsidiary utility companies scattered over 11 states. Instead of retrenching like most other business heads, he hired half a hundred new salesmen, liberalized credit terms and boosted sales of new electrical appliances which resulted in nearly doubling the corporation’s electric sales.

President Roosevelt and Governor Thomas E. Dewey both lamented his passing. “The nation will Jong remember Wendell Willkie as a forthright American,” sald President Roosevelt, whoswas foréed to win the highest popular vote in history to defeat the G. O. P. nominee. “Earnest, honest, whole-souled, he also had tremendous courage. This courage which was his domi= nating trait prompted him more than once to stand alone and to challenge the wisdom of counsels taken by powerful interests within his own party. In this hour of grave crisis the country loses a great citizen through his untimely passing.”

Mr. Dewey, who lost the nomi. nation to Mr. Willkie in 1840 hut who won it in 1944, said; “Wendell Willkie was one of the great men of our time. His death will be mourned throughout the world. A forceful and courageous man, he made a notable contribution to the political and philosophical discussion of these critical years. Rn “His passing is a loss not only to the Republican party, but to all of us—Americans of both parties who shared bis faith in representative government and earnest hopes for world peace.” Tributes From Famous Tributes came also from former President Herbert Hoover, Secretary of State Cordell Hull, G.

MOSCOW, Oct. 9 (U.

Ivap4 C. Bagramian and the 3d White Russian army of Gen. Ivan D. Cherniakhovsky slashed forward on a front of nearly 200 miles to points about 25 miles from Memel. They pid plowing ahead about 16 miles a day.

LONDON, Oct. 9 (U. P.) ~The Nazi Tramsocean news agency said today that the Red army had made two crossings of the Tisza river in southeast Hungary, the last big water barrier between the Soviets and Budapest.
