NEW YORK, Oct. 3O.-The odds
favor State Senator Joe R. Hanley,
Republican, in Tuesdays election for
Lieutenant Governor of New York.
The elements working for Mr.. Han
ley and against 1t Gen. William N.
Haskell, his Democratic opponent.
are numerous.
The Republican candidate is likely
to win by from $4,000 to 100000
votes.
In the first place, there is little
reason to believe that the Repub-
licans are any weaker in New York
State than they were a year ago
when Gov. Dewey swept into Albany
with 100000 vote lead over his
Democratic opponent. John j. Ben
nett, and better than 100000 over
the combined votes for Mr.. Bennett
and Dean Alfange, the American
Labor party candidate. In that same
election, the late Thomas w.
Wallace was elected Lieutenant
Governor over former 1t. Gov.
Charles Poletti. who had both the
Democratic and American Labor
party nominations. Mr.. Wallace s
lead was $4,000.
Dewey Is Praised.
Since that election, Gov. Dewey
has given the State an excellent ad-
ministration. He has dealt firmly
and effectually with problems grow
ing out Of the war situation. in
cludlng food production. Mr.. Han
ley is running on that record. Gov.
Dewey is campaigning for him.
Wendell L. Willkie, leader in the
fight to retrieve the COP from it's
traditional isolationism of the 2Os
and 30s, is speaking for him. With
this support, there is no reason to
believe the more internationally
Republicans will vote aginst
Mr.. Hanley and for Gen. Haskell.
1t is estimated that 900 900 New
Workers are in the armed forces
today. This removes very largely
great group Of younger voters who
have been casting Democratic bal
lots. Another estimate is that the
soldier vote cast in this election
will not be greater than $4,000. This
may mean, it is said, a net loss of
100000 to the Democrats in voting
For the first time in history, the
State Federation of Labor has in
dorsed a Republican candidate for
governor. How much
this means it is difficult to say. The
American Federation of Labor has
l 100000 members in the State. The
federation said that it approved
Senator Hanleys record in the State
legislature on labor legislation. Gen.
Haskell. it pointed out, has no labor
record.
A. L. P. Backs Haskell.
The American Labor party, large
ly made up of CIO members, is
working hard for Gen Haskell But
from the stand taken by the Fed
Grafton of Labor, it is apparent that
Senator Hanley will not be without
Labor support when the election
is held

Reading Defects Cited
As Costly 10 Draft

Col. Campbell c. Johnson, eXecu-
tive assistant to the director of selec-
tive service, told the fourth biennial
Teachers Regional Conference at
Miner Teachers College today that
poor reading ability among Negroes
is one of the major reasons for the
high rejection rate among colored
persons examined for military serv-
ice.
He said the rate ran several times
higher than that of white inductees
and claimed that it was the result
of poor preparation in the early
reading grades. He suggested that
more stress on reading in the lower
grades would help to overcome the
problem.
Approximately 700 teachers, prin-
cipals and superintendent of the
schools of the Washington area
heard Dr. Gertrude Hildreth of
Teachers College, Columbia Univer-
slty. outline new method of reading
which she said is being used by ex-
perimental schools. The main ele-
ment in this system is the integra-
ton of the reading of the child with
experiences with which he is IA
miliar. DR.. Hildreth said this meth
cd could be carried through the en-
tire elementary school level.
The meeting was broken into II
panels after the Introductory gen.
eral session. Each panel discussed
some phase of elementary school
teaching.
A box of flowers was presented to
Robert C, Haycock, recently ap-
pointed superintendent of schools.
on behalf of the teachers and prin-
cipals, by Miss Mineola Kirkland,
supervising principal. She assured
DR.. Haycock of the teachers loyalty

IAppeasement Policy

Assai|ed by WiI|kie'
BY the Associated Press,


PATERSON, N. j., Oct. 80
Statesmen of the Democratic party,
Wendell Willkie says, have prac-
tlced appeasement with the forces
OF reaction and Fascism all over the
earth,' and at home the party's
actions belle its advocacy of free
dom and liberalism. l.s,
TN the South" the 1910 presi-
Dental candidate told a Republican
rally last night, the opposition party
lis content to abridge the freedom
of millions of voters =" Here
in the North, and especially here
in New Jersey, it relies for its
strength on reactionary political
machines which are a national

Republican candidate for Governor,
Mr.. Willkie assailed the organiza-
ton of Mayor Frank Hague of Jer-
sey City, powerful Democratic leader
who is backing Mayor Vincent j.
Murphy of Newark, the party's
nominee for Governor.
IF we want free government here
In America" Mr.. Willkie declared,
we must use the methods of free
dom, not of Frank Hagues ma

Mr. Willkie, answering Demo-
cratic charge that Mr.. Edge had

The invasion of Choiseul, f1anking

to Rapaul, opened Thursday at the
village OF Voza, a staging base for
enemy barges. japanese in the area
fed north without fight.
Only the day before, amphibious
American and New Zealand troops
landed with naval and air protec-
ton on the two Treasury Islands. 30
miles south of Bougainville. Pur-
sued by troops and pounded by Ven-
tura bombers, the few hundred jap
anese there now are being cornered,
with a sea and air blockade set up
to prevent their evacuation.
Tuesday the way was paved for
the easy execution of the Treasury
Choiseul operations by an air blitz
OF Bougainville such as the South
Pacific had never known before
The japanese were utterly helpless
to offer air opposition.
Not only were the bomb-cratered
fields on Southern Bougainville
ploughed deeper but little Buka Is
land at the northern tip was dev-
astated. Aptly named Lightnings
tore into grounded planes, sank a
fully-loaded boat at nearby
anchorage, then surprised $500 Japs
working feverishly to build another
alrfleld on a plantation and strafed
to death at least 200 of them. The
Lightnings flew only 100 feet above
their targets.

termed the area with more than 200

In attacks that same day on
Kahili and Kara. the south Bou-
gainville strips in the best position
to interfere with Treasury -Choiseul
thrusts, 300 tons of bombs were
dropped during more than 300
sorties by bombers of all categories.
The japanese had tried desperately
by night for five days prior to Tues
days onslaught to make repairs.
Tuesday they very definitely lost
the race.
