LIST 284,310 CIVILIAN VOTES

Military Registration Seen Bringing County Total To 297,000.

The official total of the number of civilian voters in Marion county eligible to cast ballots in the Nov. 7 election was fixed today at 284. 310 by Carroll Kramer, chief registration clerk. This does not include a still undetermined number ‘of military personnel who have become eligible to vote by mail Total soldier vote ballot applicajdons are near 20,000 in the county but approximately one-fi or ane-third of these were already included in the civilian lists of registered voters.

Wait Final Check:

Assuming that one-third of the soldier vote applicants are already included in the civilian total, approximately 13,000 military personnel will be added to the grand total

of county voters. If a final check

shows this to be correct, the total

iregistration for the county will be

‘BUSINESSMEN SAY

297,000-or about 9000 less than the total eligible voters here ‘in 1940. Three weeks ago the original estimate by election officials was that the total of eligible voters might reach 325,000. Since then estimates have been revised downward on the discovery of errors in computations made on the files of permanent voters.

Lie Test Tape Reveals ‘Irregularities,’ Investigators Declare. Virgil Quinn, sheriff's investigator,

WAC murder by her ex-husband, and William Luallen, the accuser, today, Deputy Sheriff Quinn said that the “tape shows a good many irregularities, indicating that both accused and accuser are still lying.” Both prisoners were questioned yesterday and about 20 to 30 of the asked then were put to

“pretty evasive” and “a woman with a temper,” given tq lively repartee. “The first thing we know she's

Dress Ruled Out Likewise, the pretty, well-dressed suspect continues to protest her innocence. With the exception of short intervals when Mrs. Luallen has shown signs of fatigue and becoming distraught, she has been

‘composed and confident, Deputy

Sheriff Quinn declared. The possibility that the woman had known Cpl. Ridings for some time before the alleged “wild party” that preceded the latter's violent murder with a broken whisky "bottle was being investigated with Columbus (Ga.) police. Another “hot lead” in the case appeared headed for the limbo of police files when authorities admitted the bMod-stained, polka-dot dress found in Mfrs. Luallen’s room had been found to bear no connection with the case. A legal move to release the suspect was expected today with announcement that James W, Dawson, local attorney, has become counsel for Mrs. Luallen.

President Feeling Fine

Early said the President was “feeling fine” after his trip which ended last night and took him into severai pivotal states. The presidential campaign train returned to Washington last evening. He had made short or long speeches in six states: Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois and West Virginia. In Lima, O., there was a “slow down,” which means that the train moves almost imperceptibly through the station where a big crowd was massed. Mr. Roosevelt stood on the rear platform there and gave the assembled citizens his campaign salute. Those states add up to 128 electoral votés. Massachusetts, where he speaks next Saturday, casts 16 in the electoral college.

Content With Results

His advisers were content with results of this latest trip and they were fairly ecstatic over a train {poll taken by Don Pryor of the Columbia Broadcasting Co. Newspaper, radio and picture men aboard the special answered Mr. { Pryor’s questions yesterday en route to the capital. In brief: The poll showed that of 39 persons participating, 28 favored Mr. Roosevelt's re-elejcion and 11 favored Governor Thomas E. Dewey, Republican candidate. But what pleased the President's

pants thought the odds favored Mr. Roosevelt's re-election. Two agreed that the contest should be an even money bet. Odds proposed ranged from even money on Mr. Dewey to 5-ot-1 on Mr. Roosevelt.

Private Indastry Favored

In the Chicago speech, the President proposed that the government should foster the expansion of private industry by financing through

{small plant expansion and replace-

the normal investment channels. He {pledged to encourage large and

ment of obsolete equipment by accelerating the rate of depreciation for tax purposes on the new plants! and facilities built during the war. The President made a sweeping review of what the administration had done since 1933 to aid the workers, the farmers and the business men of the nation. Then he listed a number of things he wants done after the war to keep our economy up to present levels or higher. ONE: “I propose that the government do its part in helping private enterprise to finance expansion of our private industrial plant through normal investment channels.”

‘|publican charges against his ad-

governmen! SIX: =A genuine crop Insurance program for farmers.” SEVEN: “The lifting of wage, production and price controls and soon as possible.” EIGHT: “Every facility for small business in the purchase of government owned plants and inventories.” The President opened up with a sarcastic, scornful mimicry of Re-

ministration, saying that while he had “a certain amount of previous experience in political campaigning,” this was “the strongest campaign I have ever seen.” :

Throws Charge Back

He said various Republican orators were saying in effect that “those incompetent in Washington have passed a lot of excellent laws about social security and labor and farm relief and soil conservation” and if elected the Republicans promise “net to change

Dewey without mentioning his name, Mr. Dewey's oft-repeated phrase “it is time for a change,” by saying that he would give the Republican campaign orators some more opportunities to say “me too.” “They,” the President said of Republican orators, “also say in effect: ‘those inefficient and worn-out crack-pots have really begun to lay the foundations of a lasting peace. If you elect us, we will not change any of that either. “But, they whisper, ‘well do it in such a way that we won't lose the support of even Gerald Nye or Gerald Smith-—and this is very important—we won't lose the support of any isolationist campaign contributor, We will even be able to satisfy the Chicago Tribune.”

Bids for Farm Support

Mr. Roosevelt made a forthright bid for labor and farm support in this, his first major appearance in the Middle-west during his uh term campaign, demanding America remain “the land of ey wages and efficient production.” “After the war, we shall, of course. remove the control of wages and leave their determination of free collective bargaining between trade unions and employers,” he said Saying that it was “common sense to see to it that the working man is paid enough, and that the farmers earn * the President struck at the Republican administrations preceding his first term. “Certainly the American farmer,” he said, “does not want to go back to a government owned by the mogulf of 1920—and let us bear it constantly in mind that those same moguls still control the destinies of the Republican party.” Promising continuance of the policy to help as many farmers as possible to own their own farms, the President said this meant something to the veterans who left their farms to fight. “This time they can grow apples on their own farms instead of having to sell apples on street corners,” he said.

Praises Private Business

Saying that he had always be{lieved in free enterprise and the profit system, the President was lavish in his praise-of private business, promising abandonment of production and price control “as soon as they are no longer needed.” “We shall make sure that small business is given every facility to buy government-owned plants, equipment and inventories,” he promised. “The special credit and capital requirements of small business will be met. Mr. Roosevelt said the war proved that the American businessman, worker and farmer could work to-

in to maintain her menaced communications with her stolen empire to the south. With Japanese shipyards already clogged with damaged ships from previous forays, vessels damaged in the Philippines probably will be out of service for months to come, even should they escape American submarines and planes on their home-

and Liberators, while Singapore and Japan’s home ports could be hit by B-29 Superfortresses.

Defeat Is Decisive

Nimitz said the Japanese fleet had been “decisively defeated and routed,” then summarized the Snemy’s losses as follows: SUNK: Two battleships, four carriers, six heavy cruisers, three light cruisers, three small cruisers or large destroyers and six destroyers. SEVERELY DAMAGED AND MAYBE SUNK: One battleship, three heavy cruisers, two light cruisers and seven destroyers. ESCAPED IN A DAMAGED

estimated by some merchants at as low as 13 per cent of the demand. Last week the war production board ordered speedup production and distribution of about 30,000,000 pieces of infant and children clothing between Dec, 1, 1944, and Feb. 28, 1645. The order made available to manufacturers 40.000,000 yards of

broadcloth, flannelettes, denim, poplins and prints. The order was

supply of low-priced items which, according to the United Press survey, had all but Yisappested from the market. Merchants attributed the diorinze is| to lack of materials and manpower. All cities reported that’ parents were accepting the shortages phil osophically as one of the inconveniences of wartime living. The same layettes were being used by succession of babies, being passed from one family to the next through mutual friends. Older children were being outfitted similarly in hand-

engagements, while the only, American air losses listed were 10 planes in one engagement. While . the 76 “ships sunk or damaged on both sides in the Battle of Jutland during world war I exceeds the 64 Japanese and American vessels announced hit in the Philippines, never before in modern history has a single nation lost as many ships in a single engagement as did Japan in last week's test of strength.

20 Carriers in Fleet

It also was believed the number of ships engaged in the battle of the Philippines exceeded the 248 British and German ships involved at Jutland. American strength in the Philippines battle was not disclosed, but the 3d and 7th fleets together were known to include more than 20 aircraft carriers. Nimitz ranked the battle with those of the Coral sea, Midway, Guadalcanal and the Philippines sea as “one of the major sea battles of world war H,” but it far exceeded those in- damage inflicted
