Most of the original founders of the American Labor party and its state leadership repeatedly denounced the ¢Hillman-Communist coalition” until the Hillman coup last March. They called it “illegal, undemocratic and immoral.” At one stage, when invited by Mr. Hillman to participate in his “unity” plan for the labor party, its two top leaders, Alex Rose, state secretary, and David Dubinsky, president of the A. F. of L. International Ladies Garment Workers union, replied on March 26: “As soon as we are ready to meet with Earl Browder (head of the American © Communist party) we will be ready to meet with Sidney Hillman.”

Boyd Lewis, United Press war correspondent with the Canadian lst army, reported the Germans were pulling back so fast that their Polish, Canadian, American. and Dutch pursuers had lost contact with the Nazis in the soggy lowlands, Even the crack German 6th paratroop regiment was retreating as fast as the other German units. ~ It was believed that a considerable number of the Germans driven from Beveland had joined the force on Walcheren island which remains the chief barrier to free allied use of Antwerp. British Empire forces cut the last lateral road south of the Meuse at the eastern end of the offensive front and to the west captured the road junction of Roosendaal and advanced four miles farther north through Oud’ Gastel. A coastal column was within 2000 yards of Steenbergen, six miles north of Bergen op Zoom.

Farther south, Lt. Gen. George S.

The state presented medical experts who testified that Mrs. Connors had died of violence. Defense physicians testified that she died of natural causes.

saying that his telephone rang until

{midnight with messages of congrat-

ulation and a “large number of telegrams” were received this momrning with “nine out of 10 of them complimentary.” Early said Glass considered the Byrnes' speech “one of the finest . » of the campaign and expressed his own views on why he thought Mr. Roosevelt should be re-elected.” In a nation-wide radio address making his first major appeal for re-election, the director of war mobilization and reconversion asserted last night that victory for Governor Thomas E. Dewey, the Republican nominee, would “inevitably delay the win. ning of the war and jeopardize the peace for which our boys are fighting and dying” Hints at Co-operation

Byrnes hinted that the U. 8 might obtain Russian co-operation in the war against Japan. But he raised. doubts that it could be obtained by Dewey who, he said, “as late as 1940 denounced recognition of Russia by our government and who is now criticizing the efforts of our government to bring about a friendly accord between Russia and Poland.” Bymes did not mention Dewey by name but hammered the theme that a victory for the ‘Republican candidate” might prolong the war. _ “Will it not take time, when time means lives, for the Republican candidate to secure the co-opera-tion of Russia in the war against Japan, without which co-operation the war will be unnecessarily prolonged?” he asked. The other important issue of the campaign, Byres said, is safeguarding the peace when it is won.{erin And, he added, the present Repubtican leadership in congress cannot “be relied upon to carry through effective, non-partisan peace plans for our active participation in world Raps Seven Senators

that Mrs. Luallen could be released said, “to believe that the Republican | | candidate, who himself gave no

notable assistance to Mr. Willkie « + could not obtain the support of his party in congress for an effective international organization to preserve the peace by force if necessary.” Byrnes said Dewey's statement that he would retain such military leaders as Gen. George C. Marshall and Adm. Emest J. King “indicates that he realizes the danger of changing men ‘who are making decisions as to military strategy.” This, Byrnes declared, could only be interpreted as praise for Mr. Roosevelt, who selected them. “The Republican candidate” Byrnes said, “may honestly believe that in these fateful hours he could become commander-in-chief and do a better job than the President, but do we know that? And do our allies know that? I do not know any experience he has had with such problems as are daily decided by the commander-in-chief.” The Republican leaders whose records Byrnes attacked were Senators Hiram Johnson (Cal), Arthur Capper (Kas), Arthur Vandenberg (Mich.), James J. Davis (Pa.), Gerald Nye (N. D.), Wallace H. White Jr. (Me) and Henrik Shipstead (Minn.).

“it seems difficult to believe that the war can be ended before Christmas or even Easter, “Although as I haye said many high authorities with every means to form correct judgment have expressed themselves more hopefully and although every effort has been fhadé and will be made against the enemy the German troops are fighting with the utmost tenacity although cut off in many places and in defense of positions evidently forlorn. Of the war in the Far East, Churchill said: “We must assume that the Japanese war will have to be carried on for an indefinite period after the destruction of Nazi power. Here again there may be the possibility of some ‘political upheaval in Japan inducing a sudden surrender but it would be very foolish to count upon this In a race of men of this

90 - Degree Ring Around Moon Brings _ Bureau Explanation.

The weatherman promises to give the “kids” a break over Halloween, with warm weather a boon to them and a headache to general citizenry. He even promised that possibly showers may held off 'til Thursday. But our old bones and a look at the moon last night give us the doubts. There was a ring around the moon last night which made it look like a nickel in the bottom of a

understood a ring around the moon meant rain, So we thought we'd check the weather bureau and find out just what gives with rings around the moon,

Old Belief Debunked

And now we know and are confused. First of all these rings sometimes mean rain, but the doesn’t cloak the sign with bility. Fact is, they don't trust it all. The natural phenomena is all caused by cloud formations and refraction of light. That should be enough, byt then we find these rings come in different sizes. There's the 22-degree ring which fits close around the moon; the 45-degree ring which is large and extends about half way to the horizon; and the 90-degree one which reaches the horizon. Last. night it was a 45-degree ring and the weather bureau claims they are very rare, just one or two a year, And, oh yes, they aren't rings around the moon. Call them the Luna Halo. But let's see. What did we start this story out about. Oh yes, the weather. Well, the temperatures for the next five days will average above normal, according to the weather bureau, with warmer weather today, tomorrow and Thursday and cooler weather Friday and Saturday. The weather will be a little warmer Sunday. Precipitation will average light to moderate this week accurring as showers mainly Thursday.

WFA URGES FISH

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30 (U. P.).— The war food administration today urged hosewives to serve fish for breakfast, lunch and dinner during the next three weeks.

the neutral protecting power in representing American interests, have tried to find some formula for shipping in relief supplies acceptable to the Japanese. But every proposal meets with the diplomatic stall and runaround.

Relief Plans Blocked

The way matters stdnd now, 2000 tens of relief supplies have been shipped overland across Biberia to Vladivostok. The Russians have agreed to transfer the supplies to a port south of Vladivostok, where the Japs tentatively have agreed to pick them up. But—they haven't done it yet. These negotiations have been going on since March, 1043. To proposals that medicines be sent in by air, the Japs made no answer whatever. In the summer of 1042 the United States chartered a neutral vessel to carry in supplies for prisoner of war relief, but the Japs refused to give it safe conduct to move in Japanese waters and furthermore indicated they would not send one of their own ships to a neutral port. The Japs will permit the Ine ternational Red Cross to administer relief only in Hongkong and parts of Jap-occupiéd China, but not in Japan, the Philippines, Malaya or the Dutch East Indies.

Shipments on _Gripsholm

In the face of ‘this stalemate the only relief supplies which have been forced through Japanese red tape were shipments sent on the two voyages of the Gripsholm in 1042 and 1943 for the exchange of some 2500 civilian nationals. Assurances have been given that the supplies were distributed by the Japs to their prisoners, but all efforts to arrange for further

with Japanese refusals to even discuss the subject. Japan's diplomatic out for. all this bad behavior is that her government did not ratify the Geneva convention of 1929, relative to the treatment of prisoners of

war. At the outbreak of the war, however, the U. S. government obtained assurances from the Japanese that they would apply the principles set forth in the convention to the treatment of its American captives and to American civilian internees. - How well the Japs have lived up to these assurances are best shown by the record.
