Aides Say DeWey's
Charleston Speech
Is One Shot Affair
b the Associatea Press.

ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. Coy.
Thomas z. Dewey's trip to Charles
ton. w. Va. for q campaign speech
Saturday win be what his aides de-
scribed today as "one-shot affair, I.
the ammunition to depend on Pres
ident Roosevelt.
Present plans call for the Repub-
lican presidential nominee to return
to New York after the Charleston
engagement. He will register in
Manhattan early next week for the
November election.
His schedule for the rest of the
month, expected to include swing
through the Middle West, along the
Eastern seaboard and into New Eng
land, still Is being considered by
Gov. Dewey's campaign advisers.
Asked what the Governor would
talk about at Charleston, James C.
Hagerty, his executive assistant,
said.
That Is likely to depend very
much on what President Roosevelt
says In his speech Thursday night. "
Mr.. Roosevelt is scheduled, In his
second professedly political address
OF the campaign, to address q series
of Democratic rallies.
Gov. Dewey returned to his desk
at the State Capitol today and be-
gan going through accumulated
State business.
Gov. Dewey called in Elliott Bell,
State superintendent of banks, for
conference last night.
Mr.. Bell has been one of the
Governors closest advisers on CAM
paign strategy and speech drafting.
Although the rest OF the Dewey
campaign was being held open to
meet the moves of New Deal sup
porters, indications mounted that
Sidney Hillman and Earl Browder
we're due for increasing Republican
attention.
Republican National Chairman
Herbert Brownell. jr., expressed a
belief recently that the Democrats
had been split into left and right
wing factions over what he called
"the Hillman-Brow influence. /"
He left the impression that the
COP orators would not overlook any
bets In this connection.

a spokesman for the Chinese Ma

tual tonnage of American supplies
delivered to the East China forces
since Pearl Harbor would not be s,If-
f1cient to sustain an American or
British division in combat for !
week.
14th Air Force Praised.
THE only real help afforded the
Chinese armies in East China has
been in the form of heroic and re-
markably effective air support given
by units OF the United States 18th
Air Force in that area y the spokes-
man said. The achievement of Gen,
Chennault's men in this campaign
constitutes another glowing page Of
military history
He declared the work Of American
airmen who have been flying sup
plies into China "over the hump
has been beyond all praise and that
tonnage has exceeded all expecta-
tions, but added:
The fact remains that after the
minimum requirements of the Amer
1can Air Force have been met, sup
plies flown In for the Chinese arm
les are necessarily very limited, and
virtually all Of these have been al
located to Chinese forces lighting
on the Salween front, where China
has made an important contribution
to the successful Burma campaign. 7
The spokesman's statement was
issued in response to Prime Min
lister Churchill's speech In Commons
last week during which he expressed
appointment Of reverses tn

Uncle Ruy's Corner

Only few of the old Aztec
books" have been saved. but they
are enough to tell some facts about
those Indians. Long before the
| Spaniards reached Mexico. the
Aztecs had a system of writing num-
bers.
An early Aztec sign for the figure
Il" was the outline of a finger. For
"2' they made the outlines of two
fingers, and SO on up to 10.
That way of making numbers is
taken as proof that the Aztecs
used their fingers in counting.
The figure 40" was important In
Aztec arithmetic. In our language
We often speak of a score" which
is the sum OF a perosns's fingers
and toes.
The Aztec sign for "20' was q fig
ure on the order of a flag. This
flag" however, had no stripes. stars
or other marks on 1t. It was simply
q plain outline, like a square or OBJ
long white colth fastened to a piece
OF wood.
The number 400" seemed so large
to them that they chose pine tree,
with many needles, to show it.
One Aztec record shows a bundle
with five flag" signs over 1t. On the
package Is the outline of a coca
bean, to show the kind of material
inside.
Five times 20 makes 100, so we
may figure that the person who
made the picture was telling about
100 packages of cocoa beans. It ap-
pears that the Aztecs used beans
from the cocoa tree to make drink
which was popular before the time
OF Columbus.
