We had some rather interesting
facts for this week. but with the in
vasion news coming in it all seemed
trivial and worthless. In our own
neighborhood. the news was of vital
interest to those families with sons
and daughters overseas. Their hearts
were heavy-nothing we could do or
say can seem of much importance. As
one parent expressed it. Zone can
only pray Well, that's great deal.
and it will be Victory in the end.

U.S.. ConciIiatorS Seeks
To End Hotel Strike

The United States Cancellation
Service has entered the Roosevelt
Hotel strike negotiations, but has
failed to effect any agreement be-
tween the hotel management and
representatives of four AFL locals
which started picketing the hotel
last Friday, it was learned today.
A conciliation commissioner met
Saturday with the union and man
agement, but efforts to reach an
agreement failed when hotel ofhcials
insisted the union does not repre-
sent the employees. The workers are
seeking union recognition.
With the question of representa-
ton raised, the next step apparently
is up to the Joint Executive Board
Of the four locals, which may appeal
to the National Labor Relations
Board. This question was to be
discussed at an executive session
of the joint board this afternoon.
Meanwhile, Sol Karp, executive
director of the Joint board, charged
the management with hiring new
employees without Job referrals from
the United States Employment
Service.
The hotel management insisted
however, that help now being hired
was being worked less than 80 hours
a week and therefore was exempt
from the provisions Of the Govern
ment-hiring program.
Mr.. Karp declared more than SO
per cent Of the employees were on
strike, although hotel officials claim
only about IL have walked out.
A picket line continued pacing in
front Of the hotel.

Registration Falls
In New York Civ
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Registra-
ton Of New York City's civilian
voters for the presidential election
fell 170,S47 below the 1910 total. tab
ulation showed today, and leaders
OF both major political parties i'm
mediately interpreted the figures as
favoring their side.
When the six-day registration
period ended Saturday night, 3,216,-
6l3 persons in the five boroughs had
qualified as voters. compared with
the record 1887 ,460 of four years
ago. In addition, however, more than
375,000 New York City service men
and women have applied for ballots
this year.
Democratic State Chairman Paul
E. Fitzpatrick, asserting that "a
large registration has been gener-
ally accepted as indicating increased
Democratic pluralities," said the
New York City turnout assures a
Roosevelt victory in New York State
by over 100000 without taking in
the soldier vote"
Arthur Schwartz, Republican State
chairman, said the Democratic
majority usually expected in the city
will be drastically reduced" and that
this definitely places New York
State in the Dewey column"
Mr.. Schwartz said that Queens
County, which gave a substantial
majority to Mr.. Willkie, maintains
its registration. whereas other coun-
ties showed losses. This indicates
that the pro-Dewey vote has come
out in full force and that the areas
usually accredited to the Democratic
party has suffered registration
losses"
Mr.. Fitzpatrick said upstate re-
ports on the first two days of regis
tration in cities where personal reg
istration is required indicated "a
corresponding turnout" to the New
York City registration. This would
mean" he commented, "a decreased
Republican plurality upstate from
the '494 900 of 1940."

Hartford Times Backs
Dewey in Campaign

Ry the Associated Press.
HARTFORD, Conn, Oct. 16.-The
Hartford Times. an independent
Democratic newspaper which, since
its establishment in 1877 supported
every Democratic presidential nom
inee except William Jennings Bryan
and President Roosevelt in 1910,
announced today its support of Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey.
The paper said editorially it
favored Gov. Dewey's position on
the establishment Of a postwar Or
ganization for peace, which it felt
to be ''the uppermost task facing
the United States" 1t said the sup
port of Republican Senators for
such an organization possibly can
be more certainly commanded un-
der leadership of a Republican
President than it can by a Demo-
cratic President"

finished as planned-a port as big as
Dover, capable of unloading at least

Construction of the harbors was

Roosevelt Declares
Distribution Of Goods
Is Vital 10 Recovery

BOSTON, Oct. 16. = President
Roosevelt said today that "the dis
tribution Of civilian goods will be OF
the utmost Importance to postwar
recovery"
In a message to the Boston Con-
ference on Distribution, the Presi-
dent asserted:
"The high levels Of production and
employment, which we are all work.
ing to establish when peace comes,
can only be maintained by placing
the output Of our factories and farms
speedily in the hands Of the con-
sumner.
1T is, therefore, essential that
every industry study the problems
of distribution now, in order that
there may be no interruption in the
free flow of goods"
Malcolm Macdonald, high COM
missioner of the United Kingdom
in Canada, said there was nothing
"of more vital Importance to the
creation of more hopeful inter-
national situation than genuine
understanding and cooperation be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain.
ITO state it simply" Mr.. Mac
Donald said, IF they work well to-
gether many better things for hui
manity will become possible.
They are getting on quite well
at present. But any one with a
clear and honest vision can see that
there are differences of character
and temperament and certain
prejudices on both sides which may
stand in the way of whole-hearted
cooperation between them when
the desperate peril of battle has
passed and unity between them
may appear less essential"

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct. 16.-Doubt over
the fate of Marshal Erwin Rommel,
commander of the Afrika Korps and
one of the ablest leaders in the Ger
man Army, was dispelled yesterday
when the Berlin radio announced
that he had died Of wounds.
Rumors of Marshal Rommel's
death had been current since late
July when Allied field dispatches
quoted German prisoners as saying
he had succumbed to injuries suf-
fered when his car was strafed by
Allied planes in Normandy. The
Germans subsequently denied his
death, but acknowledged he had
suffered a brain concussion and
other injuries in an automobile acci-
dent during straf1ng attack on
July II.
The Berlin broadcast yesterday
did not say how Marshal Rommel
was wounded or when he had died,
but said Adolf Hitler had ordered
a state funeral.
The broadcast described Rommel
as one of Germany's most success
full army leaders, whose name will
be linked forever with the heroic
battle of our Afrika Korps," and
said he was man deeply con-
vinced of National Socialism"
Gen. Eisenhower considered Rom
mel a great general" but mot a
superman."
Part OF Marshal Rommel's leg
endary brilliance lay in the fact
that he was an impulsive com.
mander who preferred to reach 6
quick decision rather than engage
in a slow slugging match.

As He Resumes Drive
BY the Associated Press.


SANTA BARBARA, Calf, Oct. 16.
Reviewing the first two weeks of
his Western campaign for the vice
presidency, Gov. John w. Bricker
of Ohio said today he was convinced
that California, Washington and
Oregon would give majority to
the Republican ticket in the No
vember Z election.
And, he added in an address, so
will Minnesota, the Dakotas, Mon
tana, all of the Middle West, New
York, New England and Pennsyl-
cania."
The Ohioan remarked, There are
increasingly encouraging signs in
the border States, too, as I have
learned on my recent visits to Mary
land, Kentucky, Missouri and Ten
nesSee."
The Eastern States were covered
by Gov. Bricker before he began his
four-week, 9,250-mile Western trip

Resumes California Tour.
Continuing his six-day tour of
California after Sunday devoted
to sightseeing at San Francisco
with Gov. Earl Warren of Cali
fornia, Gov. Bricker said:
~"Everywhere-from Maine to CAL
nornia and from Tennessee to Min
nesota-I have been inspired by the
great outpouring of militant voters.
At these meetings literally thou
sands Of men and women have ex-
pressed to me their deep convic-
tions about the issues of this cam
pa1gn.

tions in which they live, regardless
Of whether they are white-collar
workers or housewives, or laboring
men, or farmers, or small business
men, or big businessmen, and many
times regardless of their past po-
itical affiliations, they are of one
mind. They are determined to
effect change in the national ad-
ministration in Washington.
The vice presidential nominee de-
scribed November 7 as "the most
important election day in our times"
and said he firmly believed that
a change in administrations, 'in
addition to all of the other benefits
1t will bring, will mean a more sue
cessful prosecution of the war and
an earlier and more complete vic
tory against the forces of evil around
the world"
Caught in Stalled Elevator.
With Gov. Earl Warren, Gov.
Bricker visited the San Francisco
Press Club Saturday night. They
were confined for 10 minutes in
balky elevator from which they
finally made an emergency exit.
: Yesterday they and their wives
attended services at Grace Cathe-
oral, an Episcopal church, and then
on the sightseeing trip took q two
mile hike through Muir Woods in
the redwood forest.
Gov. BrickerS staff disclosed to-
day that in his Blue Network radio
broadcast from San Diego tomor-

that the Republican party was lib

Naval Force Arrives
In Greece as Nazis
Decide on Evacuation
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ROME, Oct. 16.-A strong British
naval force has arrived at Piraeus,
the port of Athens, and will begin
disembarking troops today, Allied
headquarters announced.
(The Berlin radio indicated
the Germans had decided to
evacuate Greece.
CThe broadcast by the Trans
ocean agency said:
("Because of the German
evacuation of Greece the Balkan
front will assume a different
aspect, said a German military
spokesman this afternoon. Events
there are still very fluid. The
decision in this sector will fall
later.D
The British feet, headed by the
cruiser Orion, flying the flag of Rear
Admiral j. NJ Mansfield, anchored
in the Piraeus roadstead last eve
ming after being delayed by enemy
mineflelds, the Allied bulletin said.
Accompanying the Orion were the
cruisers Ajax, Aurora and Black
Prince. several destroyers and vari-
Gus other units of both the British
and Greek Navies.
Liberation of Athens and nearby
Piraeus was announced Saturday
night, but there still were no details
on this operation.
Field dispatches, meanwhile, re-
ported that the comparatively few
Nazis remaining in Greece were
heading for Yugoslavia in an effort
to escape the trap which advancing
Russian forces are closing in the
north.
Reliable reports in Cairo indicated
all of the. Cyclades Islands in the
Aegean Sea southeast of Greece
would be liberated in a matter of
hours.
The RAF said the garrison on
Maxos surrendered yesterday.
Main enemy garrisons still are
located on Crete, Rhodes and few
smaller islands used as staging
points along the route the Germans
are attempting to evacuate. A con-
siderable force is believed trapped
on them, for sea movement has be-
come practically impossible and ali
evacuation is becoming increasingly
more difficult.
