| G. 0. P. Lacks Hatchetman Like Ickes
LACK OF s Republican hatchetman who can match Harold Ickes fs cited by some topside G. O. P. planners as weakness of their campaign. They don’t want Dewey to get down to mud-slinging with Ickes but think someone should return latter's shafts. .
x, DE “ONE HINT about home-stretch strategy: Republican Chairman. Brownell indicates Dewey men have some moves up their sleeves that may appear startlingly original in American politics. Indications are final days of Dewey campaign will be concentrated on eastern seaboard. Both partiés think real contest may narrow to New York, Penngylvania. Republican headquarters, claiming 300-plus electoral: votes for Dewey (266 needed to elect), is conceding only 17 states to Roosevelt. Meanwhile, Dewey campaign is being kept flexible, with sizable gaps between speaking dates to permit returning Roosevelt's fire if President decides to make a campaign of it, s
Heavy Registration Cheers Democrats
DEMOCRATIC campaign managers are cheered by heavy registrations reported in most industrial states, think it favors them.
If final total reaches 42,000,000, they think they've won. Money's started to come into Democratic headquarters too, though not in big amounts. Look for more F. D. R. newspapers to ask readers for funds if they want to hear more speechés by President. #
MIDWEST VOTERS say little about politics, and, except for the professionals, stay away in droves from ordinary political meetings.
Republicans figure that is a good sign, because in his three other eampaigns Roosevelt had the most articulate support. Basic cause, however, is the ‘war, with nearly every family working and worrying about it. Sons in service make ordinary political talks seem petty. - »

Loans to Veterans
FORTHCOMING veterans administration regulations on gov-ernment-insured loans to .discharged servicemen will permit two or more borrowers to form a pool to buy a farm or business, members sharing liability equally. Limits per individual on government guarantee ($2000) will hold down farm purchases, says agriculturé department. = - s REAL ESTATE brokers, said by justice department to be preparing for a “killing” in disposal of surplus government land, actually are shying away from participation.
New property-disposal law, they say, carries too many trick provisions giving preferences to former owners, veterans, others. It will produce all sorts of title complications, they say, and congress may have to amend the law before it's workable. Right now government landdisposal program is at a standstill awaiting appointment of new board. Surplus inventories are valued at $16,835,000.

Little Steel Issue
LOOK FOR some effort by administration strategists to dissuade C. I. O. and A. F. of L. leaders from their announced determination to get the pay-raise issue: on President Roosevelt's desk by next Saturday.

Pass Into Allied Lines as Yanks Mop Up Nazi Garrison. (Continued From Page One)
ported shifting south from Holland toward Aachen for an expected counter-offensive while Lt. Gen. Courtney H, Hodges’ troops began a new attempt to crack the half-mile-wide corridor into the city.
More than 2000 American and British heavy bombers teamed today. in a four-way assault on Co= logne, Saarbrucken, Kaiserlauten and Duisburg, key German transport centers supplying the Nazi forces facing the allied armies on the Western front. Resistance Light An Aachen dispatch by United Press Correspondent Jack Frankish reporting much of the eastern part of the city over-run in the first 24 hours of the assault said resistance was comparatively light this morning, and only one American casualty had been reported up to 11 a. m. Frankish reported “tremendous destruction” in the eastern part of Aachen, withHionly one or two build~ ings in each block that could be called habitable, and they were heavily damaged. Some 10,000 to 20,000 civilians of the city’s normal 160,000 were believed still inside Aachen, and the garrison was estimated to number about 2000.
Bulldozers at Work
Bulldozers were heaping. th debris of Aachen in great piles as correspondents drove in today, clearing the way for military traffic.
Maj. Thomas F. Lancer of Madison, Conn, who will be military governor of Aachen until the permanent setup arrives, said he and his staff were ready to move in. He was preparing to handle the problem of a water supply, which had been cut for three weeks, and had food and medical supplies ready.
To the northwest, Canadians on the south bank of the Schelde river advanced 2000 to 3000 yards on a narrow front between Biervliet and Savoyyaadsplaat against stiffening opposition, extending their bridge. head to within three to four miles of other troops on the north bank of the Leopold canal. German counter-attacks halted a Canadian advance toward Bergen Op Zoom opposite the causeway leading to the Beveland-Wal-cheren peninsula in the Schelde estuary. (An unconfirmed Paris broadcast said the besieged German garrison at Dunkerque on the French channel coast had attacked the allied line, only to be repulsed and thrown back to its original position.)

Quisling Dying’
Vidkun Quisling * LONDON, Oct.’ 14 (U., P)—A Stockholm dispatch to the Daily Mail, quoting German sources in Norway, said today that Vidkun Quisling, minister-president of the Nazi puppet government in Nore way, was “dying following a heart attack attributed to an extra heavy drinking bout.” Another . Stockholm dispatch said the Morgontidningen reported that rumors that Quisling died of a stroke were circulating on the Swedish-Norwegian fronttier.
3 RED ARMIES TEAR AT POCKETED NAZIS
(Continued From Page One)
terday a 6000-ton German transport was sent to the bottom by the warships, while naval planes also accounted for a 6000-tonner. The Germans attempted to ease the pressure against their southern flank with an amphibious landing behind the Soviet lines near Palanga, 14 miles north of Memel, but were driven off with a loss of four of their 24 landing vessels. Scores of Germans were drowned. More than 300 prisoners were taken.
Widens Wedge
Once the German pocket south and west of Riga has been eliminated, all three armies probably will join Gen. Ivan D. Cherniakhovsky’s 3d White Russian army, already arrayed along a 2000-mile stretch of the frontier, in an overwhelming smash into East Prussia. In the Balkans, Marshal Rodion Y. Malinovsky's 2d Ukrainian army widened its wedge across Yugoslavia with the capture of Topola and Dolna Satornja, 37 and 40 miles respectively south of Belgrade, the capital. (A Yugoslav partisan commu. nique said Marshal Tito's forces
The British 2d army continued to inch eastward through mud and woods toward Venray, 14 miles! northwest of Vanlo, in an attempt to widen the British corridor in The Netherlands. The forces had gained | 5000 to 6000 yards since the attack! began yesterday. : Supreme headquarters revealed, that German pressure against the! northern end of the British corridor! below Arnhem was lessening as the| Germans shifted some of their best troops, including those who hurled the British Red Devil pdratroops back across the lower Rhine last month, toward Aachen for what may develop into one of the decisive battles of the war. United Press War Correspondent Henry T. Gorrell reported from the front that the enemy forces mass-! ing northeast of Aachen were among Germany’s best panzer outfits, specialists in counter-attacks.
Moving in Daylight .
The urgency of their mission was seen in the fact that they were maneuvering in broad daylight {within easy range of massed American artillery and hovering swarms of planes.

the second straight day yesterday in a futile attempt to protect their armor, sending 100 fighters against the American formations. Eight German and eight American planes were shot down in aerial combats. American dive-bombers flew 700 sorties against Aachen and vicinity yesterday, bringing the total since the start of the all-out assault Wednesday to 1600.

running northeast from Aachen. By 10 a. m, a front dispatch said, the Americans were fighting their way through fortifications and dug-in German tanks in the western part of Wurselen, one of the keys to the gap three miles north. east of Aachen. The Germans were battling desperately to keep the corridor open and the attackers encountered many newly-built pillboxes freshly-dug earthworks.” Skies were overcast, limiting air support. A total ‘of 578 German prisoners was taken in the Aachen area yesterday.

planes probably destroyed or damaged, } 3 The toll exacted in those four days brought the score of Adm. William F. Halsey's 3d fleet, of which Mitscher’s force is a part, over the Japanese since Aug. 31, to 701 ships and 1637 planes destroyed or damaged. + Observers here believed the powerful strikes this week, which not
{only blasted the enemy’s sea and
air forces -but heaped destruction on ground bases and port facilities, considerably weakened Japan's ability #8 defend the Philippines. .
Increases Supply Problem
. These blows also increased the difficulty of Japan’s supplying and reinforcing its large Philippine garrison, estimated at 150,000 or more troops. The effect of the assaults, the deepest thrust yet toward the China coast by surface units of Adm. Chester W. Nimitz’ tremendous Pacific fleet, was seen in the frank admission by the Japanese that the offensive was aimed at the Philippines. One of Japan's highest officials, Adm. Sankichi Takahashi, in a Tokyo broadcast, flatly stated that the attacks on Ryukyu and Formosa were “carried out as a prelude to the operations for the recapture of the Philippines.” His statement carried considerable weight in view of the fact he is commander of the big Kure naval station and naval adviser to the Imperial Rule Assistance Association, Japan's totalitarian party.
Guerillas Active
Another surprising disclosure by the Japanese was the admission that American guerrillas still were active in the Philippines. A Domet news agency dispatch, recorded by FCC, quoted Shozo Murata, Japan's “ambassador” to the occupied Philippines, that American guerrillas were harassing Japanese communications in the islands and that the puppet government’s attempt to suppress the Americans “have not been very satisfactory.” Gen. Douglas MacArthur, collaborating with Nimitz in the campaign against the Philippines, also extended the scope of aerial operations from the Southwest Pacific. His communique today disclosed that Far Eastern air force bombers raided the island of Leyte, in the Central Philippines, for the first time Wednesday. It was the deepest penetration yet of the Philippines by MacArthur's bombers and came almost simultaneous with Mitcher’s carrier strike on Luzon, in the north, The Luzon attack was listed as Tuesday, Pearl Harbor time, which would be Wednesday in the Philippines.
Palau Resistence Ends
The Southwest bombers sank one enemy freighter and damaged another at Leyte, and damaged two more merchantment at Zamboanga, on the southwestern coast of Mindanao. Nimitz, in one of the four communiques issued in 24 hours detailing the vast activities of the Pacific forces, disclosed that organized Japanese resistance in the southern Palau islands had ended Thursday, after 29 days of the bloodiest fighting in the Pacific campaign. The campaign in the Palaus gave the Americans a completely estab~ lished foothold from where Nimitz has announced he will launch supporting operations for MacArthur's return to the Philippines. The Palaus are only. 560 miles east of ‘the’ Philippines. : Although Nimitz never disclosed the size of Mitscher’s forces, Tokyo first said the attack on Formosa was made by between 1000 and 1100 planes, but today said that only 300 planes delivered the blows in three or four attacks.
Claim 3 Carriers Sunk
A Japanese communique, recorded by FCC, claimed that three U. 8. aircraft carriers, one destroyer amd three warships of an “unknown” type were sunk, and one aircraft

Miller moved to - challenge this statement, Judge Niblack retorted, “The press is not only privileged, but also obligated to enter the scene of any emergency, just as police and firemen. . . . If it weren't for newspapers all public institutions would be in a bad condition, The public officials probably would run away with the country. ‘In fact, it looks as though some are doing that very thing right now -—taking advantage of the wartime newspaper manpower shortage.”

part of the U. 8S. aerial forces came from Chinese bases in the initial assault, although Nimitz mentioned only carrier planes in that attack. Both the Tokyo claims and Nimits’ statements were made before disclosure of today’s B-29 raid. Japanese claims of American aerial losses over Formosa and the nearby Pescadores as usual were far in excess of Nimitz’ disclosure that 22 American planes were lost the first day, and 23 in the second day’s attack. Ryukyus Results Higher While the two-day assault on Formos was more sustained, the results obtained by the carrier planes at the Ryukyus, which reach within 200 miles of Japan's home island of Kyushu, were higher.

A VIRTUALLY Nazi govern= ment, under Szalassy .with former pro-German Premier Bardossy as. minister of interior, had been pre‘pared.
The putsch was cancelled at “the very last moment following a request to Fuehrer Hitler by German Foreign Minister Joachim Von Ribbentrop and his envoy, Weisenmeyer, the German minister to Budapest. The intervention was activated by Premier Col. Gen, Vites Yeza Lakatos, who had rushed to the German legation and explained to the German minister that the putsch would do far more harm than good to the Nasi cause. Lakatos had insisted that under present circumstances a Nazi putsch in Budapest would be tantamount to civil war throughout the country. ® - ”
MEANWHILE, the Nazis have renewed their demand that all Jews still in Budapest must ime mediately be transferred -elsewhere as their presence in the rear of retreating German troops constitutes danger. The only way of disposing of Jews is to execute them, Lakatos is reported to have told the Gere mans, but if the Nazis wish to
take this responsibility, he was not willing to. : In Vienna, there is almost as much panic as in Budapest, it seems. The sale of bicycles is booming though the German aus thorities not only are discouraging the evacuation of Austrian cities but have forbidden people to leave their ‘homes. ail
