MACNUSON PROPHECIES ON HICHWA

WENATCHEE, Wash. Sept. P. -(AP)-Representative Warren G. Magnuson, chairman of the International Highway Commis- sion, in an address here, predict ed Within our lifetime and per haps within 10 years after the war;" the American family will be able to get car and drive to Shanghai, China, by way of Price George, Whitehorse, Fair banks and Nome, then through a 26-mile tunnel across the Der ing Straits.
 He expressed conviction that the Prince George -Whitehorse connection will be built imme- diately after the war.
 "But." he sad, "there is little hope that the present Alcan high way will be maintained
 
 British Columbia has already allotted s6,OO0,o0o for the connec- ton.
 Magnusson said he believed the United States and Canada would provide like appropriations, and it is wholly possible that the road would be built before the war was over, if materials and manpower become available.
 It is up to Canada to give the go-ahead signal, and when they do, I can promise reasonable CO., operation of our congress.

DEWEY POUNDS AWAY ON NEED
 OF REGULATION

ENROUTE TO LOS ANGELES, Sept 22.-(AP)-Gov. Thomas E.. E. Dewey is pounding away on the theme that the nation needs regulation without regimentation.
 Dewey rephrases his speech on social security problems as he travels south in his campaign.
 Tonight he is scheduled to meet with aircraft and motion picture leaders.
 Tn San Francisco last night he gave the definite impression that he had already gone farther to- ward accepting more of the New Deal innovations in the govern ment than any other COP presi- dental candidate in recent years.
 Dewey previously endorsed the National Labor Relations Act, Unemployment Insurance, Old Age Pensions and Price Control in wartime.
 He told an audience of 15,000 that the days of dog-eat-dog na- tional economy are never coming back again, but that the New Deal can see only two possibili- ties for America, ever-increasing regimentation as one phase, and the alternative reaction as the other.

MANILA BAY STRUCK
2O5 PLANES. II WARSHIPS ARE DESTROYED

U. s. PACIFIC FLEET HEAD QUARTERS IN PEARL HAIR BOR, Sept. g. -(AP)- Carrier planes of the U. s. Third Fleet, raIded the Manila Bay area We'd nesday, destroying POS Japanese planes, sank II Warships and probably 26 others, and also floating dry-dock and two bar ges, Admiral Nimitz reported to- day.
 In addition to this heavy dam age inflicted on Japanese ships and planes, much damage was done to military objectives and adjacent airfields.
 Our losses in this superlatively successful attack, which appar- ently caught the enemy com pletely by surprise, was 15 air craft, of which several of the personnel were recovered There was no damage to surface ships.
 The powerful strike was ta- ken as an indication that Admiral Halsey, who is also charged with the protection of the amphibious forces engaged in capturing southern Palau, that the opera tions were going so we'll that 1t was safe to leave the large forces here, lightly proyected from sea and air attack, to renew his bold thrust againet the southern Phil ippines.
 The destruction which has been wrought against Japanese air craft and shipping since the Hal sey- Mitscher team went hunting the Japanese in earnest, in wide ly spaced raids, give these totals for the period of three weeks prior to September goth.
 Japanese losses in ships sunk were 90, probably sunk A, dam aged 47, total 1s1.
 Small craft sunk 30, probably sunk 4, damaged 43, total TT.
 The number of aircraft des- troyed 869, with probables 29, and damaged 10, tota1ling 908.
 American losses in planes des- troyed 20, flight personnel IS, with a yet unknown number of missing.
 The Manila strike was almost unbelievable in Halsey- Mitscher perfect record of not single ship lost or even damaged, despite the fact that many are within binoc- ular view of the southern Phil ippines.
 Tn all of the five destructive raids, the Japanese gave no in- dication that they have naval force in the area, and presumably are licking wounds inflicted in the Philippines sea battle of June 1ofh and 10th

STEEL FLOOR FOR BRIDGE PLANNED
City Engineer ScOtt-Smith Makes Recommendation
 to Works Board

The Board of Works last night asked the engineering department to prepare plans for a steel grid floor for the Washington avenue. bridge and will request the board of finance to transfer sufficient funds.
 The request was made after 6li- perintendent of Streets H. Ecott- Smith reported that the installation of this type flooring would save the city considerable money over long period. pointing out now that the present wooden flooring, which as weakening because of the constant heavy truck traffic passing over tt, was built but in l940 at a cost Of 5000. Tn addition it has cost the city almost e2.0o0 yearly to maintain it.
 The board asked the engineering department to prepare plans and an estimate of cost for grading W0odtic Road near Mansfield ave- Dne, and for laying A storm sewer there,
 Vito TrayisanO and a delegation from Linwood street asked that the street be prepared. The matter was referred to the street superintendent with power to act, Nick Matu asked for a water main in Beverly avenue, and was promised a report will be read at the next meeting

 The CORPORAL vS. GENERALS.
 But though Hitler had to acc commodate the generals. he was able to double cross them in part and also revenge himself. For among those killed during the blood purge were General von Schleicher, his old enemy. and General von Bredow. Chief of the Army intelli- gence. an officer widely known for his opposition to the Nazis.
 Still, for almost four years fol- lowing the blood purge. the Army controlled Hitler almost completely. There was some friction.
 General von Rundstedt once. in May ss35, was about to lead a re- volt against Hitler. but at the last minute thought better of it and had his co-conspirators arrested. Gen. eral Beck was radically opposed to Hitler's invasion of the demilitarizad Rhineland because he figured that. if the French marched. the Ger many Army could not possibly de- fend itself. But Hitler believed that the French would not march, and he completed his Rhineland plans successfully.
 The next decisive clash between Hitler and the Army did not occur until February 1888. Then about 20 of the most prominent generals walked out on the Fnehrer.

Polish territory and that sooner or later a World War would be the consequence of the Falehrer's ever- increasing demands. Beck. who had done more to build up the German Army than any other general. who had devised most of the plans later used by Hitler, knew that the Ger man Army could not be victorious in a long-drawn-out war Of attri- ton.
 At first events seemed Go prove that Hitler was right and Beck wrong. The German Army over-ran half a dozen countries. On July i9. leaO. after the successful French campaign, Hitler made his leading generals Field Marshals. covering them with decorations--and it lock- ed as thought the peace between him and these generals would be . final one.
 But 1t only looked that way. Hardley is months later. on October IS, l9si, the leading German gen. erals knew that they could not win the war. They knew it that early because the timetable Of the Rus sian conquest had not been kept. The Russian Army. far from being crushed. became stronger day by day. England's strength. too, was in- creasing and it was only a question of time until America entered the war. Something must be done. the generals decided. The conspiracy against Hitler was on.
