F., New Halloween
More fun and less mischj

More fun and less mischief is the
new conception of Halloween in
dorsed and recommended by Milo
F.. Christensen, District superin-
tendent of recreation, and his asso-
ciates. The vandalism which gem
orally characterizes the annual
observance of the night OF witches
and goblins, they say, spoils the
pleasure Of too many people. It
also is costly in. terms OF damage
to property, accidents involving
fatal injuries to innocent bystand-
ers" as well as to those persons most
directly responsible and the expense
involved in cleaning up" after the
excitement,
But Mr. christensen does not
advocate any change in, the tradi-
tional spirit OF Halloween. The
Recreation Board, he explains, has
announced forty one different
neighborhood, parties" in schools,
parks and municipal recreation
centers. Costume, parades, movies,
games and other entertainments
are included in the. program. Adults
and children alike are invited to
participate. The result, it IS ,ex-
pected. will Be ! good . time for

PouI &. Lesh

Paul E. Lesh, who died yesterday,
had the true Washingtonian's love
for and pride in his native city. He
was identified with many community
activities. but the one to which he
gave most Of his tine and effort was
the endeayor to obtain for WASH
ingtonians the right OF, representa-
tion in their National Government.
AS vice. chairman OF the Citizens
Joint Committee on National Repre-
sentation, Mr.. Lesh gave the leader
ship OF clear, logical mind and the
force OF persuasive argument to a
movement which he regarded as
fundamentally just and necessary to
sound government. He was very
sincere and genuine man. These
attributes Of personality, coupled
with his scholarly knowledge of the
law and the history of his country,
made his discussions before COM
mittees of Congress both instructive
and cogent. He was a highly re-
spected and able member OF the
bar and his colleagues who joined
together in urging his appointment,
some years ago. to the Court of
Appeals were merely voicing the
sentiment Of his associates in their
recognition Of outstanding qualities
which fitted him so we'll for the
bench. His death is a real loss to
Washington and peculiarly per-
sonal one to countless friends whose
regard for his abilities was coupled
with deep affection for a very
lovable gentleman.

Russiu's Attitude

RuSsia'S eleventh hour decision to
boycott the international conference
on civil aviation at Chicago gives
rise to serious misgivings.
According to Tass, official Russian
news agency, the Soviet Union is
unwilling to participate in the Chi
cago discussions because Switzer-
land, Portugal and Spain also were
invited to send representatives to
the meetings. The Russians say
that these three countries have
conducted "pro-Fascist policy
hostile to the Soviet Union" There
fore, says Tass, Russia will not
participate ine any meeting with
them to, discuss the problems OF
postwar civil aviation.
This remarkable declaration was
made public after Russian delega-
tion to the conference actually had
arrived in this hemisphere, and
some time after Russia must have
known that invitations had gone out
to the three countries. Hence, the
suspicion arises that the alleged
grievance against Switzerland Por-
tugal and Spain is merely a pretext
to cover other reasons for refusing
to discuss this vital problem in a
world conference. Perhaps Russia
has decided against permitting the
civil aviation of other countries to
operate within her borders after the
war. Or it may be that Stain pre-
fers to play lone hand in this
matter, to await the results of the
Chicago conference, and then to
shape his course accordingly.
In any event, the Moscow decision
Is indicative of an attitude which
tends to discourage hope for the
future. If Russia will not discuss
the future of civil aviation with
Switzerland today, for instance, a
fair question arises as to whether
she proposes to exclude Switzerland
or Portugal or Spain or any other
nation whose government is not to
MoScow's liking from the postwar
arrangements for the maintenance
of peace. We have already seen un-
mistakable evidence of RusSia's de-
termination to impose her own
settlements in her Eastern European
sphere of influence" We have
heard the thinly yelled threats di-
rected against Iran in an effort to
secure oil concessions from that gov
ernment. And in the face of this
cumulative evidence we ought to be
asking ourselves what RuSsias real
intentions are with respect to the
future of international cooperation
as we understand that term.
The disposition in this country has
been to soft-pedal any discussion of
relations with Russia which might
give offense to Moscow. Up to Ger
tain point that is sound policy, but
1t is policy which can be carried
too far. And it would seem that the
time is approaching when the people
of this country should be given more
information concerning our relations
with Russia and the prospects for
the future.

Showdown in France

The provisional government of
France is faced with what looks like
decisive test of its authority
Strengthened by formal recognition
by the Allies, General de Gaulle and
his colleagues have chosen to raise
the issue by issuing decree dis
arming all persons or organizations
except the regular army and the
police, and invoking existing laws
prohibiting the carrying of arms
and providing penalties for those
making illegal arrests.
This decree was primarily aimed
at the so-called Patriotic Militia,
one of the Maquis organizations
combating German occupation,
which is dominated by Communists
and which has demanded the right
to continue as separate armed
organization during the interim
period through which France is now
passing. However, the issue was
both. broadened and rendered more
acute when the governments order
was contested by the National
Council of Resistance, the executive
head of the entire Maquis move
ment. The National Council has not
been absorbed into the provisional
government, though hitherto it has
worked in general agreement with
De Gaulle, who on his part has made
no effort to end what was obviously
an anomalous situation implying
divided authority.
1t was doubtless with a heavy
heart that De, Gaulle took step
that was bound to mean show
down. between his regime and those
elements who have declined to sub
nit to his authority. But the matter
could no longer be compromised or
postponed. In many parts of France,
especially in the south, conditions of
lawlessness and terrorism prevail
which, unless remedied, threaten
incipient anarchy. Local regimes
set up by the Maquis during the ex-
pulsion Of the Germans from France
last summer have become virtually
little feudal states, making their
own laws. purging opponents ac-
eording to their own ideas, levying

stories OF the disputes between Won
Rundstedt and Rommel. some undoubt-
edly true, and now, with Ronimel out
of the way, Rundstedt can do as he
likes.
A month ago, it was estimated that
the Nazi forces In the west totaled about
80 divisions. comprising dot more than
10000 men and with possibly as few
as 100000. The figure has been in
creased to 80 divisions with the eight
more in reserve at Frankfurt.
The makeup of the eight divisions is
matter Of chief concern Whereas
formerly many German reserves were
men who had never seen action-or were
worn-out troops from minor positions
in other countries-these eight divisions
are composed Of the best Germany can
muster. The men are veterans Of, the
hard fighting on the Russian front, or
the fierce battling in Normandy, and
are top-line and fire-trained. They
know what 1t Is to fight and, more i'm
portant from German viewpoint, they
know what it is not to surrender.
How the 36 divisions-plus the eight
in reserve-will fare when the Allies
launch their about offensive toward
the Ruhr and Rhineland, no one knows.
From the Allied view, we are rapidly
moving more men into position and our
supply line, though not what we had
hoped 1t would be at this moment, is
improving and will improve even further
when Antwerp port is opened to our use
Whatever else may be said, it will be
hard for SO German divisions, plus eight.
or 36, plus any available number, to
hold back Eisenhower and Montgomery
once they decide to strike, whether it
be during the cold and mud Of winter
or the sunshine and thaws of next
spring

This Changing World
By CoNsfanfins Broicn

In view Of the continued so far,
succesSful-efforts Of the Germans to
avert q major breakthrough by the
Allies along the Siegfried Line, It is
interesting to note the enemy's distribu-
tion Of manpowcr.
Onhand, one would think that the
loss Of more than 650,000 prisoners alone
since the Allied invasion Of NORMANDY
on June would 30 cripple the German
Army that 1t could hardly hope to hold
us in check, even with the strong FORTH
fications ahead Of us along q 4s0-mile
line from the Swiss Alps to Holland.
But today, according to latest esti-
mates received in Washington, the Ger
mans possess no fewer than SO divisions
In the Siegfried Line, and while the
number necessary to man that line
emciently has frequently been estimated
at minimum Of IS divisions, the total
OF SO appears to the Berlin high COM
mand to be adequate to hold back the
tide at least until spring.
Eight more divisions are held In re-
serve at Frankfurt -on-Main, point
close enough to the front lines to permit
quick dispatch to any newly imperiled
or weakening sector. Whereas, the prob
lem of supply distribution confronted
the Germans in Normandy, 1t Is now the
Allies who are confronted with that
problem.
Marshal Won Rundstedt, an expert in
the art of strong defense, again is in
charge of German forces In the west.
and 1t Is on the efforts of this member
OF the old Junker school alone that Ger
many hopes to block a breakthrough.

Others among these New Englanders
are strongly opposed to having any man
serve as Chief Executive of the Nation
for 16 years. Further, not all the.
Democrats are enthusiastic over the ad-
ministration's foreign policy. Add to
these factors the numerous irritations
which have arisen in IL years of New
Deal control, with the highest taxes In
history and bureaucratic regulations,
and you have melange which may sur
prise the country when the votes are
counted
The Democrats are playing Mr. Roose-
welt up as the great war leader, arguing
that it would delay winning the war If
change were made in the administra-
ton now. This is the most effective
argument they advance.
The C1O Political Action Committee
has been very active in this State Its
leaders claim that the increased regis
tration-it is about 227 600 higher than
four years ago-has been largely due
TO their efforts and that the bulk of the
new registration will be for Mr.. Roose-
welt.
There Is some reason to doubt this,
however, for the Republicans have added
lot of names to the books, too Also
there is the fear, even among Democrats,
that an increased registration may mean
a protest vote of unusual proportions.
The Republicans are much more hope
full Of carrying the Bay State than they
were four years ago. Their tower OF
strength Is Gov. SaltonStall, who is
tremendously popular. He Is a candi-
date for the Senate. running against
Democratic Mayor John H. Corcoran of
Cambridge, operator of a large depart
ment store and new to State politics.
Democratic leaders admit they have
no chance of defeating Gov. Saltonstall,
and some of them say his lead may be
a quarter Of a million. 1t is probable
that such a vote for Gov Saltonstall
may help the Dewey candidacy here,
though Massachusetts voters are used
to splitting tickets.
Nor do the Democrats have much
hope for their gubernatorial candidate,
Mayor Tobin of Boston. His opponent
is 1t. Gov. Horace T. Cahill. Only II
the President should carry the State by
a big vote would Mayor Tobin win, they
say. Professional gamblers are betting
9 to Mr.. Roosevelt will carry the State
and to against Tobin victory. The
odds in favor of Gov. Saltonstall are
astronomical.
In only one congressional district does
there seem to be a chance Of a change

compulsory contributions and. either

down of communications and the
smallness Of the regular army, much
OF 1t earmarked for fighting the
Germans alongside the Allies, COM
bine to render it difficult for the
central authority in Paris to enforce
its writs in distant provinces. But
with the ordeal OF winter at hand,
1t is more than ever imperative that
order and social discipline be gen
orally re-established. AS the dis
armament decree trenchantly says:
"the insurrectionary period is over .
France, with its traditions OF legality
and centralized authority, cannot

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

BOSTON, Oct 3l-President Roose-
velt has the edge. and Gov. Thomas e.
Dewey an outside chance to win in
Massachusetts,. That's the way it stands
today. Before the week is over the New
York Governor and the President will
slug it out in historic Boston Gov.
Dewey speaks here Wednesday night at
the Boston Garden and the President
is slated for q speech Saturday night in
Fenway Park
The Republicans are counting a lot
on Gov. Deweys visit to the State and
city. They contend he Is on the upgrade
as the campaign swings into its last
week-a very different picture from the
1910 campaign, when the late Wendell
l.. Willkie was taking a nose-dive here
and in other States.
There seems no doubt that the Demo-
Gratis, despite their claims that the
President will repeat or better his 1877
600 vote victory four years ago. have
President has been urged to come here
The best information obtainable is
that the Roosevelt vote will be materi-
ally lower than 1t was in 1910. Even
supporterssof the President say his VIC
$4,000. Democratic State Chairman
President will better the 1910 margin
and shove 1t as high as 175,000. This
claim, however, is offset by a statement
from a prominent Democratic leader
that the State is doubtful"
Democratic detection is admitted,
particularly among the Irish Americans
and the Italians. There Is a tremen-
dous Irish-American vote in the State,
and 1t has been preponderantly- Demo-
cratic in the past. The Republicans
admit that the Jewish vote amounting
to about 75.000-if 1t all comes out-will
go almost solidly for Roosevelt. Blocks
Of so-called French, English and Cana
dian voters also will give Mr.. Roosevelt
ma ajorities The Yankee" vote out
through the State has, as a general
thing, been Republican.
The Democrats are hoping that many
independents and some Republicans
who followed Wendell L. Willkie four
years ago viii vote for Mr.. Roosevelt
However, some of the leading figures
net all politicians by any means-in
the Winkie group have now come out
for Mr.. Dewey. claiming that he has
gone just as far as the President in the
matter of international collaboration.
They are satisfied. they say.
On the Republican side, and working
for a Dewey victory, is the dislike of
many of the voters for the so-caled
Communist and Socialist infiltration
into the Democratic party They do not
like Sidney Hillman and Earl Browder,
now tied in so closely with the Roosevelt
ticket.
