New York, ov. 4.-(UP)-Former Republican ational Committee Chairman John D. M. Hamilton was reported swinging around the coun- try today promoting a stop Willkie movement and perhaps seeking ail alternate candidate whom the COP might nominate for president next year.
 Republican election trends in half dozen states this week set the party political pot to boiling over. Wendell L. Willkie's chances to be renominated for president when the Republican national convention meets were boosted by fortnight disavowal by Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, of New York, of any interest in the nomination for himself.
 Deweys statement may make Hamilton's reported task more difii- cult. The former national chair man was reported today iii Wash- ington state today, discussing na- tional politics after c swing through the midwest.

Committee Chops Almost
 A Billion Ln Budget Figure

Washington, Nov. = (U.P) = The House Appropriations Commit- tee today all but tossed 0 l944 de- ficiency appropriation Into the waste basket by chopping nearly Q billion dollas from the budget estimates.
 Only the much-ciiticized Ofiice Of War Information escaped unscath- ed, and only one section of the bill was increased--an unbudgeteed $20,- GOO, added without explanation for "bcnefciaries of deceased house members"
 More than three- quarters of the cut was at the request and ex- pense of the Navy who found 1t feasible to eliminate | @760, 1000 request.
 Thus, the recently-promised "big push" in congress to reduce gov- ernment expenditures got off to 6 big start. Paradoxically, 1t was the committee which has approved tens of billions of dollars since ie40 with hardly c dissenting whisper that started the economy bail rolling.

This Is One For Some Sort Of 4 Book

Washington, Nov. 4.--(UP)-- A Poinsette County, Ark, father of seven children--"good on" squirrels, eating. raising hell and drinking lemon essence Is in the army.
 If he wonders why, he should get someone to read the letter his wife wrote to his draft board and which is printed in the current issue of the Selec- tive Service Bulletin. It said:
 "Dear United States Army: My husband asked me to write C recommend that he supports his family. He cannot read, so don't tell him. Just take him. He ain't no good to mo. He ain't done nothing but raise hell and drink lemon essence since l married him eight years ago, and I got to feed seven kids of his. Maybe you can get him to carry Q gun. He's good on squirrels and eating. Take him and welcome. I need the grub and his bed for the kids. Don't tell him this, but just take him and send him as far as you can"
 The Army took him after he tried to prove a bona fide fam- fly relationship by presenting the letter to his draft board.

Senate Leans To League

Washington, Nov. 1 -- (U.P) -- The senate appeared ready today to reverse It's refusal 23 years ago to join the League of Nations by ap- proving overwhelmingly the prin- ciple of United States participation in a general international organiza- ton to maintain peace and security.
 The vote may come this afternoon on the Foreign Relations Commit tees revised foreign policy resolution which now includes one of the most important sections of the Moscow declaration.
 Actual membership in Q new league, once 1t is set up, still would require a two-thirds vote of the senate since the pending resolution merely places the senate on record in favor of such action. But the vote on this resolution is expected to exceed the two-thirds needed for treaty ratification.
 Unexpected Russian
 The sudden and unexpected re- vision by the Foreign Relations Committee of It's admittedly vague original version brought the issue to a voting stage quickly and dissolved the objections of 0 group which had been holding out for a more speci- fic statement of foreign policy.
 The break came after eight days of debate and only two days after

Dewey Is top man fin polls Of Re publican presidential preferences. But within 12 hours of final com- putation Of big Republican victory in New York in lieutenant gover- norship by-election, Dewey said:
 T am not, and shall not become, candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 1914"
 The Willkie faction of the party was delighted. Stop-Willkie parti- sans were confronted with the con- fusing problem Of having popular alternate candidate at hand, but one who says he does not intend to make himself available.
 Republican victories of varying de- gree were recorded in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecti- cut, Michigan and Kentucky in Tuesdays elections.

London, November 4. - (UP) - A mighty British air fleet smashed at Dussel- dorf and Cologne last night in a ouble-barreled assault on Germany's great indus trial Rhineland to send the Anglo-American aerial of- fensive back into high gear. Striking only g few hours after upwards of 1000 American Flying Fortresses, Liberators and escorting fighters battered the big German naval base of Wilhelmshaven in day. light yesterday, hundreds of British four -engined bombers loosed a heavy and concentrated attack on Dussel- dorf, arms center and Germany's third largest inland port.
 First reports indicated the attack on Dusseldorf was effective. the air ministry announced.
 Smaller Force
 A smaller force of four-engined bombers concentrated their cargoes of explosives on Cologne, industrial capital of the Rhineland and Ger many's third city, while twin-en- gined Mosquitoes rounded out the first big night assault on Germany in&l2 nights with subsidiary raids on both the Ruhr and Rhineland.
 Nineteen bombers were lost, but at least four intercepting enemy planes were shot down.
 Night fighters and fighter-bomb- CTS, meantime, attacked objectives in France, Belgium and Holland and shot down one enemy plane.
 The Royal Air Force attacks. coupled with the American raid on Wilhelmshaven served notice to Germany that only indictment weather such as had prevailed dur ing the previous two weeks would save 1t from @ continuous round of pulverizing air raids.
 Brief Respite
 Another brief respite may be in store for the bomb -jittery Germans, however, for the Dover Straits this

 Shaken off balance by the Allied surge which mounted strong twin threat against Isernia, central pivot of the falling Nazi defenses, the Germans pulled out in . steady withdrawal to seek refuge in the Aurunci mountains above the Garig- llano.
 Eth Lashcs Out
 Allied forward positions were four miles or less from the Gariglianos official reports said.
 Clinton B. oCnger, United Press correspondent with the Eighth Army, said Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgona- ery's troops dashed out yesterday in an attack from eXpending bridge- heads across the Trigno river on the Adriatic side of the line.

(By United Press)

Reports from the coal fields in- dlcated today that most of the ESQ., 900 striking United Mine Workers would respond to their Policy Con- mittee's back to work order, ending a general strike that curtailed war production and left many homes heatless.
 Resumption Of operations. how ever, will come too late to avert al- ready announced curtailments of war-vital and steel production, Q survey showed. The three-day walkout dealt c serious blow to the war effort with the loss of about D. 100000 tons of bituminous coal daily, estimates disclosed.
 The solid fuels administration re- ported that hundreds of coal bins were empty in 30 states, that many hospitals and schools were without fuel, and that "a staggering num- Der of major war industries have in. formed the STA that producers cannot supply them"
 First Return
 First actual return of strikers was reported at the Fayette County field in Western Pennsylvania only q few hours after UNIV President John l.. Lewis negotiated new mine wage contract with Solid Fuels Administrator Harold L. 1ckes, man. ager of the government-operated mines.
 Alabama'S 22,000 strikers refused to return, however, until the War Labor Board approves the new con- tract, which cuts the soft coal miners lunch period from 30 to IS minutes to give them the $8.50 daily wage provided in the rejected 1lli- nois wage agreement. Spokesmen said the Alabama miners have faith in Ickes but none in the VILE"
 Operators in all mining areas agreed that full production will not be regained until next week. The unused shafts must be inspected, they said, and delay was expected in communicating the UNIV in- structions to the miners, many of whom have gone into the hills on
