Gen. Pat Hurley, but afterward.

Generalissimo had accepted Hur-

Hurly, who. had prepared to r Chungking to try to patch up the

eturn to Washington, remained in differences, but failed.

Reports of Chiang's lack of wholeheartedness in fighting Japan should be discounted in light of the record of China's long fight which

he has led. Chiang could make peace with Able terms. use all their strength against us.

document his addresses with the care of a court room lawyer. Probably his use of quotations to cite authority set an all-time high for 8 presidential campaign. Seeks to Rivet Points

Mr. Willkie often talked broadly of philosophies and ideals and principles. Mr. Dewey seeks to rivet: the case he makes with an example—a cod fisherman or a farmer or a businessman, as it may be, who gets all wound up in government red tape. A sure-fire speech line has been to reel off a list of federal agencies faced by the citizen who comes in contact with Washington, Many in Mr. Dewey's political camp count the President's speech before the Teamsters’ union the biggest “break” of the campaign for Governor Dewey. It gave him his chance to get away from the scholarly and important, but unexciting, speeches on major subjects, and come out ‘with what the "boys called the “stem-winder”—the fighting Okla- " homa City speech. That was red meat for the local. political leaders who must work

up enthusiasm for their candidates before organizations really get down to business. The Dewey speeches have provided plenty of it since. As a campaign document, top Dewey advisers regard his San Francisco speech as perhaps the most important of the campaign. That was the one in which the governor said there must be some degree of government intervention in the free working of our economic system--in labor, agriculture and money, for example—~but warned of the danger qf slipping “by stages into complete government control of our lives,” That speech, they believed, spelled out the fundamental differences between the Roosevelt and Dewey programs, Avoids Prosecutor Role Mr. Dewey, in the fighting speeches, could use his prosecutor's talents, hut care was taken to keep away from any label of the “former district attorney.” Thus the addresses on taxes, gris culture, etc., always .were blended |with the hard-hitting attacks. That Mr. Dewey's attack speeches were effective and that he gave better than he received in the direct dueling, some of .the' Dewey - cam- | paign people think, is shown by Mr, | Roosevelt recent retreat to the com mander-in-chief role—or, as some of them put it, “climbing back up on Mt.

Thorne Smith, and belonging. to! WAC Dorothy, was found in Cpl Ridings’ room following the murder. Police are trying to find out whether Cpl. Ridings brought the book with her to the Claypool or whether it may have been brought there by WAC Dorothy. They are wondering also why WAC Dorothy stated that she had remained in camp on the murder night when, actually, she was chécked out for a trip to Columbus.

Second WAC Investigated

While an investigation into WAC) Dorothy's private life\was proceeding, city police were pushing their study of another one-time WAC who left the women's . auxiliary ‘arniy cofps on Aug. 11, 1943, to resume civilian life in Washington, D. C. The help of the army has been asked in locating this woman. It has been learned recently that she was registered with Cpl. Ridings -in Room 723 at the Claypool hotel on the night of July 23-24, nearly five weeks prior to Cpl. Ridings’ murder, Subsequent to her stay at the Claypool on July 23-24, it has been reported that Cpl. Ridings’ companion was seefi in Indianapolis in dark civilian dress, An ex-WAAC who is now assisting police in the investigation stated yesterday that the description of Cpl. Ridings’ companion on July 23-24 “corresponds remarkably” to the description given by Bellboy Alfred Bayne of the woman in black he saw in Cpl. Ridings’ room at approximately 4:48 p. m., the evening of the murder, Police Hopeful Police are hopeful of getting pie~ tures of both servicewomen involved in the newest Investigation so that the photos can ‘be examined by Bayne before he returns to his naval post in Maryland, y He came here in mid-week to

Luallen who made four varying statements in the case, first accusing his ex-wife, Wyona, of the murder, and later absolving her and taking full responsibility for the crime, has shown no disposition to change his latest story.

His father arrived in Indianapolis yesterday from Knoxville, Tenn, and father and son held a long conference at the jail, The ‘sheriff's office today revealed for the first time an interesting prelude to Luallen's second confes~ sion which he consented to make only in the presence of his ex-wife, who ‘also is being detained at the county jail. When they were brought together, the former Mrs. Luallen sald: “Honey, I want you to tell the absolute truth.

“go"along” since their G. O. P. presidential nominee, Governor Dewey, had asked the New York legislature to ‘extend the time for voting.

Dawson Gives Stand After conferring with Republican legislators at an informal caucus here last night, Mr, Dawson said: - “From all thosé men, we didn't have one report of any need for extending the voting hours. But we don't want it to be said that the Republican: party wants to deprive anyone of the right to vote.” Some of the Republican legislators from the rural counties reportedly were . determined: to vote against the amendment to extend the voting time, regardless of the desires of party leaders, -- The governor in his message also asked that the legislature provide for reimbursement by. the state to the counties for additional expenses used by keeping the voting places longer and he recommended at.taverns be kept closed as long as the voting places are kept open. Previous Action Cited The governor pointed out that he had asked for extension of votAng time in his message to the special soldier-vote session last spring and said: “While no action was taken by | the general assembly on this subject at that time, I feel that the emergency is even more apparent now than it was six months ago and that none of us in official responsibility would wish to. deprive the right of suffrage to any cousiderable number of our citizens if appropriate legislative action can prevent it.” He said the heavy registration indicates a record vote next Tuesday “provided all of them can get to the polls within the hours prescribed ‘by law.” “The registration,” he said, “in many of our industrial precincts is almost double that of any previous election. It-is-also gpparent that thousands of these qualified voters, now engaged in essential war production and often traveling great distances to and from their respective plants, will not be able to reach the polls during the hours now fixed by law without serious inJury to the production effort and at considerable financial loss to themselves and their dependents.” He cited the actions taken in New York and Michigan. He estimated that approximately 2,000,000 voters are qualified to participate in the election and that of this number 600,000 are producing essential war equipment, : Points Out Hazard “It is unthinkable,” he said, “that we should hazard our production! record or limit a free. exercise. of suffrage if the same can be successfully nroges It is heartening. to a the Teaders of our, two) htt saudi] mw ue Pres; for 4 he ve Tioat part, are in hearty accord with gn pronouncements.” - °° The Republican’ legislators - at thelr informal caucus last night agreed upon creation of a special Republican committee to investigate and act on any election frauds. Republican leaders said that last night's informal caucus was “for the” purpose of letting the party legislators blow off steam before the session actually begins.” The caucus was in sessiorf 3% hours. The Democratic legislators, who are in a minority, caucused in the next room -and could hear some of the Republican oratory, much of which was directed at Governor Schricker “for his political trick in calling the session.” Many of the Republican legislators charged that the governor was “pressured” into calling the session by the P. A. C. The governor issued the special session call Wednesday afternoon.

Bricker Closes '16,000-Mile Tour In Ohio Tonight

(Continued From Page One)

New York area before winding up in his home state, Bricker’s Philadelphia speech last night was in the nature of a “closing argument” to the jury of voters who give their verdict next Tuesday. He accused President Roosevelt: Of “repudiating’ 'free representa-

Tess. Of finding so “irksome” an “independent judiciary” that he “packed” the ‘supreme court. with New Dealers.. of substituting’ the White House " for his cabinet. Of permitting world diplomacy to slip from his administration's hands, and of allying himself with Communists through Earl -Browder and Sidney Hillman to gain support for his re-election campaign.

‘Wants to Go It Alone’

“Mr. Roosevelt,” Mr. Bricker said, “wants to go it alone. He does not want to be bothered about the restraints of constitutional government.” Dewey on the other hand, he said, “accepts congress as the policymaking branch of the government,” sanctions an-independent judiciary, and stands by the bill of rights in the constitution.” “To put it another way,” he said, “Mr. Dewey deplores one-man government.” Charges ‘Confusion’ Asserting that Mr, Roosevelt's one-man government resulted in “confusion, ar ce and bickering in government, ricker said that “the man responsible for this condition is not the man to serve representative government at home or abroad.” “If Mr, Roosevelt cannot keep his house in order at home,” he said, “how can he _help keep order abroad.” “Attacking Mr, Roosevelt's foreign policy, Bricker said that “a strong domestic policy” was the only base for a “strong foreign policy.”

Disinclined to discuss politics during his brief stay here yesterday, he said, “I came back to Indiana to. vote.” He has been doing that for years, but there was a time when politics was his forte. In 1914 he -was Indiana Republican chairman and ‘was selected the national G. O. P. leader in 1918. In 1921 he entered the cabinet of President Harding as postmaster general but resigned in 1923 to take his present position as president of the Motion. Picture Producers and Distributors of America.

Leese Takes Stilwell’s Place With Mountbatten

LONDON, Nov. 4 (U. P.).~The appointment of a British general to the army command in southeast.

Lord Louis “Mountbatten, was placed firmly in British hands with the appointment. of Lt. Gen. Sir Oliver W. H. Leese as commander of the 11th army group. Observers - interpreted the appointment, which came close on the Heels of Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell’s recall, as a major shake-up. Leese's shift to southeast Asia * gave Mountbatten an all-British team of proven combat leaders. The others were Air Chief Marshal Sir Trafford Leigh-Mallory and Adm, Sir Bruce Fraser, Leese’s successor as commander of the 8th army was Lt. Gen, Bir Richard L. MeGreery.
