are kept from actual want
 For the purposes of the act, de- pendents are divided into Class A, a wife and child or children; Class B, parents, brothers, sisters and grandchildren who are all or in part dependent upon the enlisted man. Every man in the service in the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh grades Ca new selectee is normally rated seventh grade) has to con tribute $22 allotment from his monthly pay to Class A dependents. Whether he does so to Class B de- pendents is voluntary. In the case of contributions to dependents in both classes, the allotment may amount to S27
 To this the government adds an allowance of varying amounts de- termined by the degree of depend ency, so that monthly checks from the government varying from s27 for partially dependent brother. sis ter or grandchild, to more than S100 in some instances, keep the soldiers family from dire want.

WILLkIE IN TALK WITH
 PRESIDENT 

WASHINGTON, Oct. IS. Back from his globe-circling tour, Wendell L. Willkie conferred with the Pres ident and emerged from the White House late yesterday still sticking to his stand that there has been needless delay in the opening of a second front.
 Although he said that in his judg- ment, Germany will never con- quer Russia" Willkie hammered away again on the second front theme in a session with reporters.
 He said that he based his appeal for a second front on an analysis of the recommendations of military leaders of Britain, Russia. China and the United States. He told report CTS that he had considerable ex- perience in judging recommends tions of technical experts and that he had his own idea of where a second front should be opened, but kept it to himself,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-Secre- tary of War Henry L. Stimson dis closed at a conference with the newsmen this afternoon that Army forces are now in the New Hebrides and Fiji Islands on the route be7 tween the United States and Aus tralia as well at other points.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15. " There probably isn't person who will read these lines who doesn't know of one or more hardship cases as a result of the man of the house being off to the war but never has any nation in any major struggle tried so hard to avoid them.
 Tn the first place, Selective Serv- ice has delayed (and still is delay ing) the induction of men with families and dependent. Some have already been called; others will be called socn. But it is doubtful II any nation has ever put an Army Of more than 100000 men in train ing in ten months of total war and held injustices to the family to such minimum.
 In the second place, Congress, through the Servicemen's Depend ents Allowance Act and other meas ures. has taken considerable precau- tions to see that the hardship cases

TIRE SALE BEING HELD
 IN NATION
6overnm enf Buying to Keep America Rolling-
 Owners Respond

WASHINGTON, Oct. IS. The largest tire sale in the Nations history is underway today z and there is only one buyer, Uncle Sam.
 The sellers of the tires are mo- torists everywhere who have more than five tires.
 The sellers numbered into the hundreds of thousands as the Government called for every lex cess" tire in an effort to keep America rolling.
 Uncle Sam is ready to spend $15O0O0,000 for the tires. The amount has been advanced by the Defense Supplies Corporation which has designated hundreds of ware houses throughout the country as the delivery points.
 All the prospective seller has to do, the OPA says, is to ask the nearest office of the Railroad Ex- press Agency to send truck and pick up the tires. Owners of the tires will receive check or war stamps. The sum paid for the tires is $1.50 up to SIPS, depend ing on the size and condition of the tire.

MOSCOW, Oct. 15.-The Russian Government, contributing to Josef Stalin's views on punishment Of Axis war leaders. proposed a special tribunal to undertake at once to punish "any one of the leaders of Fascist Germany, who in the course of war have fallen into the hands of the States fighting against Hitlerite Germany"
 While Rudolph Hess was not men, toned specifically in this passage of the Russian announcement, he seemed to be the most important if not the only captive Axis-adherent falling into the category of prison CTS against whom immediate action is sought.
 Hess landed in England in the spring of l941, having made mys- terious plane flight from Germany, and was taken prisoner on May 10. 1941.
 The Russian proposal startled London and a British Foreign Office commentator said, Hess. of course, is regarded as one of the Nazi lead- CTS who might be effected by the British Governments own earlier

Mrs. Mary Mdrtti Commits Suicide by Hanging
 Yesterday

Mrs. Mary L. Martti, 39 years old, committed suicide yesterday by hanging herself in the bathroom of her apartment in the Haven Rooms on Front Street shortly after her husband, John Ivor Martti departed for work.
 Martti returned from his job in the Alaska Juneau Mine late yes- terday afternoon to find the door to his apartment locked. Using his duplicate key, he went inside and found his wife slumped in cor ner of the bathroom. part of a makeshift clothesline moose about her throat and the rest of the short line hanging from an eye bolt in the wall.
 Officers believe that Mrs. Martti stood on the lavatory, fixed the rope, and then stepped off. She was clad in her pajamas.
 Called Doctor
 Dr. w. P. Blanton was called to the scene by Martti and found that Mrs. Martti had been dead for some time, at least for six hours.
 Officers who investigated tn e tragedy included Chief of Police B. H. Manery and Patrolman Harry Murray, Deputy US. Marshals Will liam Markle and Sid Thompson, and several FBI agents.
 All testified at coroner's in- quest this morning that there were no evidences of foul play. It was brought out at the hearing that

 Drive Americans Out

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15. The Navy Department, in special com- munique this afternoon. announced the Japs have brought up heavy naval units in their apparently all- out effort to drive the American Army and American Marines out of the Solomons and gain control of the South Pacific, if possible, des- pite considerable enemy losses dur ing the past four days.
 The Navy lists enemy losses dur ing the past four days in the pre- liminary stages of the attack as seven ships, including battleship damaged, and 8 planes shot down or damaged.
 Scene of Attack
 The two chief actions of the new attack took place over the Amer ican airfield at Guadalcanal. the former Japanese air base that re- gently was seized by the Americans.
 An uninterrupted bomber made the first raid on the American air field and some planes were damaged on the ground and two fighter planes were lost.
 The damage done to the airfield is not given, neither IS there any ex- planation why American fighters failed to repel the first air attack. The second attack was beaten off and that was when enemy planes suffered terrific loss

The W ashingtun Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Major Robert 8. Alien on active duty)

WASHINGTON Wendell Willkie left for Russia and China he had an interesting converse ton with Harold Moskovit, of the Affiliated Young Democrats of New York, which sheds significant light on Willkie's ideas for 1924.
 Moskovit asked Willkie why he hadn't run for the New York gubernatorial nomination, as many of his friends had urged him to 0o, to keep Tom Dewey off the ticket.
 Willkie replied that he had con- sidered the matter carefully, but found that he had only about 30 percent of the Republican machine in New York with him, and his friends had advised him not to run without machine support. Then Willkie added:
 My own party is getting more and more conservative, and I'm worried over what's going to hap pen when it comes to writing the peace. We cannot make the same mistake We made after the last war and let the isolationists get control. Isolationist Republican ob- struction after the last war was the greatest contribution that was ever made to this war, and we can't go on fighting wars every 20 years.
 But" continued Willkie, your own party isn't much better. The conservative Democrats seem to be coming back into power to such an extent that there isn't much diff ference between the Republicans and the conservative Democrats"
 Willkie went on to say that he would watch the elections very carefully this November to see what the score was on the cleo ton of liberal Senators and Rep resentatives. On the outcome of the November election, he said, would depend whether or not it might be a good idea to talk about an independent liberal third party. Meanwhile it has become known that Willkie's old Republican friends put a lot of pressure on him just before he left to make a speech for Dewey.
 Persuading Willkie to support Dewey was not an easy job, be- cause the ambitious young district attorney is the last man Willkie wanted to see nominated on the Republican ticket, either for gov- ernor of New. York, or as presi- dential candidate in l944.
 However. Willkies friends say they got commitment out of him to speak for Dewey, if he got back from China in time And they feel that in line with Roosevelt's sup port for John Bennett. whose nom- ination the President opposed, Will kie will not go down the line for
